Today, the pubs finally reopen, allowing customers to once again enjoy the glorious past time of whiling away the hours reclining in a beer garden. Sure, it's probably going to snow - but that's what jackets are for, so stop your shivering and enjoy that over-priced trendy cocktail!
Most football fans would like nothing more than to have a pint with their club's manager - letting them know exactly what they've got wrong, and how, with years of experience playing Football Manager, their insight could be of real use to the club's ongoing development.
While that's probably not going to happen any time soon, the question still remains: what would every Premier League manager choose as their first drink once the pubs re-open?
And so, we throw open the doors of the NationalWorld Arms, and merrily welcome in all twenty Premier League managers to responsibly enjoy a tipple or two in a socially distanced environment. Join us, as a fly on the wall, as we find out what drinks they order, and how the invitation-only evening will unfold...
17. Graham Potter - Brighton
"Haven't you any crisp Scandinavian IPAs?" the Seagulls boss sighs dejectedly, having hoped for a trip down memory lane back to his time with Ostersund. Potter begrudgingly settles for a Carlsberg, and despises every last mainstream drop of it. Photo: Nathan Stirk
18. Dean Smith - Aston Villa
The Villa boss isn't here to drink beer, he's here for the karaoke! An obligatory pint of fizzy premium lager is knocked back with a flourish, before he leads the whole pub in a rousing singalong of 'Sweet Caroline'. Glorious scenes! Photo: ADRIAN DENNIS
19. Jose Mourinho - Spurs
Sauntering into the pub, Mourinho demands a dirty martini, but throws it back across the bar as it contains two, rather than the three olives he'd insisted upon. Things go downhill from there, with his evening culminating in howling "Respect! Respect!" as he's hurled out for cheating in the pub quiz. Photo: Jurij Kodrun
20. Thomas Tuchel - Chelsea
Ever a stickler for detail, Tuchel immediately sets about the task of finding the best quality beer for the lowest price, and forensically scours the web for information on the many brews on offer. With a shriek of "Eureka!" he finally settles on a zesty Pilsner. Unfortunately, he's just missed last orders. Photo: Fran Santiago
