  1. Do you think it will get to STs with no away record? I shall be out of the country for the three weeks leading up to the Inter game and phone contact might be difficult.
  2. Bournemouth is well known as a place where those who have chronic injuries or are simply just past it go to convalesce and think about what might have been. And the Horlicks is/are cheap.
  3. Until 01:00 according to Sky.
  4. Last season we played 4 games. This season we shall play 6, unless we proceed beyond the group.
  5. Best to get there early. You wouldn't want an ugly one © Thutmose I 1520 BCE
  6. That's interesting. We started queuing before the game but the young lady ticket office official told me that they were not on sale until after the game.
  7. Right, fisrt step for me. Easyjet flights to Milan were up at nearly £200 (out Wednesday back Friday) so I have bought a return to Verona for £63.15 leaves LGW at 13:25 and Verona at 16:55. Buses to/from Verona railway station are every 20 minutes and take 15 minutes and cost €6. Trains to Milan are frequent and take about 1h23 for around $18 (yes, US$) each way. Now for the hotel(s). I may spent Wednesday night in Verona and travel next morning. This might be of interest for those on a limited budget. Turin is another option about 45 minutes away by train. BA are currently offering Gatwick - Turin for £84 return
  8. Thanks. Now I'm worried.
  9. Sayig that iy's 'dead and buried' is going a bit far. And if the EU with its 500 million people and enormous purchasing power can't get something agreed then what chance do we have? Oh hang on - I forgot that we have Gove and Davis, they should sort the yanks out.
  10. Thanks for the info. I'm thinking of flying out on Wednesday and back on Friday which makes the travel times more relaxing. The only question then is where to stay. What's the general opinion? (And don't say anywhere that's nowhere near me )
  11. Off to a West Brom for £13m http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2016/08/28/west-brom-agree-a-club-record-13million-deal-for-tottenhams-atta/
  12. How about getting back to the centre after the game? What sort of time is it likely to finish?
  13. Yes indeed. Something wrong with the grass/watering/boots or something. Back in the days of proper football nobody ever knew what a cruciate was.
  14. Anything that was 'timed to perfection' 'Beat the offside'
  15. Until the end of Tuesday for the bundle, I was unreliable informed. After that the prices go up and it's individual sales but the season tickets are reserved for a further period. I bought my two old-git seats in the central Kingsland for £12 a game each
  16. Austin? Have you forgotten the time we was clean through on the right and fluffed it?
  17. Didn't they say on MOTD that it would need to be changed before we played the Europa games?
  18. Well wide. Why didn't JWP take it?
  19. That might work in soccerball but this is the Premier League doncha know.
  20. Whatever you call it there are more holes than a slice of emmental. Particularly wide on the wings just in front of the fullbacks and just back from the front line.
  21. First time I've seen us live. It's supposed to be 'the beautiful game' but today was an awful confused mess. Apart from a few early slick moves we settled into a shapeless mess with no cohesion or unified plan of action. I lost count of the number of times the ball was nicked off our feet and only a last-ditch stretch saved the situation but these can lead to injuries and dangerous fouls, even penalties. Not impressed and I can only hope that more playing time and a change of system will rescue our season.
  22. He's clearly not officer material.
  23. He wasn't ours to let go. He was only on loan from Fulham.
  24. Who?
