The best offer I've seen today is one of my local bars offering good beer at £1.25 pint until the first goal is scored!

Don't they usually get some important non-footballer to have a go at scoring a goal before the game starts?

They were talking about a massive increase in power demand, enough to power a large city, when people in the UK sit down to watch the match. And people bunking off work and not concentrating properly. You would think it was a major financial disaster, not just some footie.
