ARSENAL DRINKING GAME: 2011-12 season

I like watching Arsenal. Sometimes they don’t like me back, so I also like drinking! These are two tastes that taste great together.

Have a drinking game! I also wrote one last season.

Please don’t sue me for any damage this might cause if you follow all of the rules simultaneously.

——–

Take ONE drink if…

• “One Man Team” is mentioned.
• You yell/want to yell “shoot!” at the team. (This is more last season than this season, but it still applies sometimes.)
• You find yourself going “come on, Gervinho, Gervinho— awww, Gervinho…” a la Szczesny playing FIFA.
• Cesc Fabregas is mentioned.
  • Take another drink if Barcelona’s dreamy football is discussed.
• Unlucky Theo. (OR, alternately, every time you yell/want to yell “GOOD DECISIONS!” at Theo.)
• The commentators are obviously biased against Arsenal. (an extra long drink if it’s Stuart Robson)
• An Arsenal player looks injured.
  • Another drink if they have to be subbed off.
  • Maybe finish your drink if it’s one of our defenders.
• Arsenal score a goal!
  • Take another drink if it’s somebody who isn’t Robin!
• Alex Song takes off his glasses and suit to become SONGINHO.
• Arsenal don’t score from a corner.
  • Order a shot if they do score directly from a corner?
• Someone is wrongly ruled offsides/onsides.
  • Take another drink if it leads to a goal scored or conceded.
  • Ditto for uncalled handballs.
  • Oh, hell, if you want to get really pissed, drink every time there is a bad refereeing.

Finish your drink if…

• There’s even a hint of an injury to Robin van Persie.
• Almunia is in goal. Then order a second round and down that as well if Squillaci is in front of him.
• Arsenal win!
• Arsenal lose. (Well, you’re going to need a drink either way, so why not?)

 

BONUS POINTS:

• Before every match, take a shot for every starting XI squad member we have out injured. Wilshere counts.
• Take a shot, however, if all of our back four is actually playing in position!
