Nothing Says Excitement Like An Alcohol Fueled Bet
Now some Chelsea fans have an overinflated idea that their team is not going to lose this season. But the second most dominant team in Europe right now, Bayern Munich, the only other 6-0-0 team in the continent's biggest leagues, has a set of corporate types which are really putting their money where their mouths are.
Bitburger Beer of Frankfurt has offered 1,000 litres of free beer to the supporters of the first team that can beat Bayern.
And, for each game that passes, the kitty goes up another 1,000 litres. In short, a team that beats Bayern Munich on the last match week of the season should no one else have, could supply their supporters with 31,000 litres of free beer.
Now, if a certain major ale of the northeast of England would do the same, there could be some more incentive for teams to beat Chelsea. Or maybe if Peter Kenyon is so confident that Chelsea can't be beat, he should talk to Roman about offering the same offer but with vodka.
It's not like the owner couldn't afford it if he has to pay up.

Ironically 31,000 litres of beer may have been the amount of alcohol consumed by a set of Gambian fans who faked an emergency landing for their plane just to watch the U-17 World Championships in Peru.
The Rum Air (because you can't make this stuff up) flight was allowed to land at a small airport in northern Peru and the supporters were actually allowed to attend Gambia's match (a 3-1 win over Quatar). Of course I think this was probably just to avoid an international incident as the flight was chartered by the President of Gambia himself (though he wasn't on board).

I think they haven't been sober in Vigo in Spain for at least 18 hours as Celta Vigo is back on top of La Liga after yesterday's 2-1 win over Villarreal (condemning the Yellow Submarines to last after four match days).
Just in case I haven't mentioned this before, Celta Vigo is brand new to the league after a promotion. So West Ham ain't got nothing on them. :)
Meanwhile my pick for second place Valencia pulled out a major shock tying the consensus pick of ever pundit's (or at least every pundit who cares about Spain's) pick to win the league, Barcelona 2-2 at the Nou Camp. It took an 81st minute goal from Deco to salvage the draw.
Why does Barcelona have to copy Real Madrid in everything? Los Galacticos go into the crapper so Barca has to also?
Well I guess the pain of tying Valencia is nothing that a little alcohol can't cure. Though I'm thinking Barcelona are in no position to have anyone put up casks of wine for anyone who beats them.

You see this is why we need a football a-team, for free freaking beer.
