I went to the Arsenal/Birmingham football (soccer to you hopeless yanks) match (game) at the Emrates (Arsenal's home stadium) in London (London) with a mate (friend). The game was a draw (tie) which, based on the Premier League's quirky point system, was the equivalent of a loss and allowed Manchester United to move into first place after their big win later in the day. The full details can be found here: http://football.guardian.co.uk/Observer_Match_Report/0,,2239932,00.html
Upon arrival at the Emirates (smashing place), I bought two pints of lager (beer and double the size of what I'd usually drink) for my mate and I. I ended up drinking mine and half of his. At halftime, I downed another pint with a coffee chaser.
It made the game so much fun. I just got to yell and cheer for the home team. Fortunately, it was written on my jersey.
