Thanks a lot for your help suewhistle! It's actually Milan fashion week while we're there- girlfriend won the trip with a fashion photograph and also has backstage passes to the shows so that should keep her quiet! Just leaves me to find something to do- thinking of travelling to Turin one day, would be good to check out Juventus' new stadium.

I don't know about fallen out, Warnock just sounded as if it was Puncheon's desperation that pushed the deal through and he was only given a loan until January because Warnock and QPR considered it a risk.

Indeed, he said he was going to be writing on the subject in his column on Saturday.

Warnock has just been on SSN, talking about his summer signings, and he didn't exactly sound as if he was too bothered to get Puncheon! Went something along the lines of: -Because Bellamy went to Liverpool we took a last minute gamble on Puncheon. -Wasn't really a gamble because we only have him until January. -He was desperate to come, so desperate Warnock didn't even know Puncheon was there until he saw it on SSN! Doesn't exactly sound like he was top of their priorities, or that they have much confidence in him!

Is it 'reverse' racism, or is it just racism? If everyone is equal then it is surely exactly the same as white people being racist to black people. Just because the norm here is the other way round doesn't make either any different IMO and obviously both forms are as despicable and unacceptable as the other.

Thanks for your help guys. The girlfriend won the trip in a competition so I'm not too bothered if it turns out to be sh*t! Will definitely consider getting the train to other places, and think I'll probably go to the game at the San Siro, if tickets aren't too expensive.

Ha well I'm glad that I haven't paid for it then! Any ideas how much train travel is compared to the UK?

That's alright- got the holiday for free anyway! Think AC Milan are playing Udinese the evening of the 21st so may try to get to that.

Going to Milan for a short break on the 21st, just wondering if anyone has been, and if so whether you have any recommendations for places to visit, eat, drink etc? Thanks in advance.

Yes, I think we do.

Seen her quite a few times round the strand in London, I guess because she was in West End shows, she looks better in real life.

Thing that interested me was that rather than 'letting both sets of fans out at once' for the Pompey game as most fans saw it, the police were, supposedly, holding back the fans in what they considered a safer environment then inside the stadium, where officers are liable to get injured.

Though someone got sent off for a tackle on him at the weekend I think. Bit of pointless info for y'all.

Indeed. Ridiculous.

Seriously?

Tell me more! Could do with a laugh.

Dexter Blackstock just tweeted 'Absolute Joke'. Wonder if that's connected with the manager situation.

Easy to say but it could happen anywhere. Used to go to Junk a lot while I was at college and never saw much trouble then other places you'd expect to be safe I've seen it kick off.

Is there any evidence it was definitely bouncers?

Truly awful journalism. Get well soon Dan.

Like the one of him, Rickie and Harding.

Even if he did that every game some would prefer him to Seaborne!

We clearly went for strikers, but we didn't want to pay inflated prices. For me, it would have shown less ambition if we'd settled for a striker we didn't really want.

Cool, thanks. Guess not really much of a chance to judge him then!
