I came across numerous Latin terms/abbreviations in my career Tone.

Per se is Latin for ‘by itself’.

I’m probably a lone voice when it comes to Conway - I wouldn’t remotely bothered if he moved on. He misses too many one on ones, isn’t a poacher as Tony ‘tap in’ Thorpe was and doesn’t have strength or power to hassle and bully defenders as Semenyo did. He’s too lightweight and wouldn’t get into any of the top Championship clubs. He’s overrated on here by many posters. If an offer came in for £1m - bite their hand off!

It seems that the Americans want to take over the football industry per se.

Revolut cards weren’t available the last time that I was in Barca CR. I’ll look into it if I visit again.

It was a bloody nuisance having to report the theft to the police who couldn’t initially find anyone who spoke English. Eventually one showed up and I was able to cancel all my cards - naturally they had all relevant contact numbers. I got a crime number which enabled me to claim back on my insurance - ended up with a new wallet out of the experience. I’d make the mistake of using a public ATM and drew out 300e where they’d obviously been watching. The copper said they get thefts reported daily and I had to sit thru two albums of mug shots.

Another trip worth doing is the open top tourist buses.there were 3 different routes all coded and interchangeable and take you all over the city. Buy a day ticket and you’ll have access to all the sights. We went to Guell park and the Camp Nuo by bus! The tour around the stadium is well worth the effort.

That’s exactly where we used to eat and very reasonably priced by Barca standards. The city is full of Gaudi’s work including the cathedral and the lampposts in Placa Reial. Park Guell and Casa mila where there are no straight lines - a remarkable place.

Phew……..that seems a lot and I thought that smarmy Ashton had moved on…………. Maybe the all knowing Ian Gay can tell us………..

I agree on both highlighted points wendy - unless the SPL is considered a ‘step up’ for Conway…….…… As for Twine - no we haven’t seen enough of him particularly as he’s been missing and won’t have yet regained the match sharpness. Any player that’s been injured for quite some time would have the same readjustment to match fitness. That said the glimpses we have seen have shown what a fully fit Twine would bring. His set piece delivery is excellent as we saw at Norwich and he can certainly see a pass. He and Williams in midfield would be quite a prospect - I don’t think he’s worth anywhere near £5m quoted tho but if City could get him for half that or maybe £3m then go for it.

I wonder why the Debenhams building isn’t being converted into flats/apartments? It’s a massive premises with enough space for literally dozens of them. Demolishing the building seems unnecessary to me - but then I’m not and engineer or architect.

It’ll be far worse if City ever reach the PL. Bitter sweet for me if it ever happens.

I didn’t think it was great but it was different to the usual coaching soundbites that he’s been coming out with. He also looked and sounded much more relaxed that usual. That might be because City are on a decent run and only two games away from the end of the season.

Wonderful City. It’s my favourite. Been there many many times and usually stay just off La Ramblas. There is sooo much to see - a short stay just whets your appetite for more which is exactly what happened to us! One major issue that every tourist needs to be aware of is pickpockets. I had my wallet taken just as we got into tube as the doors shut. The bastards were dressed like Ninja’s and mid European at a guess. Send a PM if you want more info about Barca.
