As others have said, there are far nicer places to visit in Spain. San Sebastian, Valencia, Seville, Cadiz, Granada, Madrid. I had some of the best seafood I've ever tasted at the fish market in Cadiz. Tuna sushi, sea urchins, oysters, prawns, Turbot, squid, octopus, cuttle fish, sardines, ortiguillas, dog fish...all washed down with great wine and cold beer. San Sebastian...just knock yourself out with Pintxos and visit nearby Bilbao. Barcelona is just a bit...meh imo..

It comes across very much like, they know they are supporters, but are trying to make themselves more knowledgeable, ' in the know' than they are. It's too ' Pally '. They aren't reporters, or in the know. Just act neutral and as if you have no knowledge. That way the answers can't be led.. Just trying to make out

Why don't they ask questions, without their own views added? It gives the interviewed an outlet just to agree. Ask a question without a view.

He jumped into a thorn bush to avoid being attacked.

Can't go wrong with B&W. Love mine. Had em for 20 odd years. Sound awesome. Using separates. Dual, Marantz and Denon.

SL was jizzing relentlessly at what Madjeski had achieved and wanted to replicate it. Coppell chosen and David James made headlines which put City in the Red Tops. I remember people gushing about us being ' recognised'.

That's it, picture 7 on the eBay advert. Expand it...you can clearly see the stitching.

I've heard the same. I also know people who've had the operation and had hamstring issues afterwards. Cycling makes it worse apparently.

If you expand the photo showing the number 4, you can see it's hand stitched and not on straight. The last bit was common back then though.

Did they use part of his hamstring to repair the ligament? I know this is common practice. Taking away part of your hamstring is bound to make some weakness surely?

So Cotts will be manager and head of recruitment for non league FGR next season. They'll also be leaving Chippenham for training and moving to the new facilities at Eco park Jnctn 13, M5. Going to interesting to see if he can offload the cross.

Yes I've seen it before with other collectibles

There is truth in that...but the opposite also happens. I inherited a vast collection of signed vinyl and memorabilia. I had people report that it was fake...only one person, and it was taken down immediately. Even though I provided evidence of the autographs being signed in person. There are a lot of self proclaimed experts in collectors circles, that often haven't got a clue. And sometimes people are just spiteful as they can't afford it and want it in their collection.

The semi final against Hereford was great fun. Used to stand in the lower Williams nearest the East End. Always boisterous. Maybe the shirt was from a game in the lead up to the final. Season 85/86.

Pretty much. I've had the good fortune to visit loads of them when I regularly watched Lazio play. Genoa was my favourite. Not really.

It's not a British thing about ' Nostalgia '. I have many friends in Italy and other European countries who all said we are nuts for pulling down old stadiums, like Highbury and parts of Villa etc. Anything designed by Archie Leitch defined British football. https://footballgroundguide.com/stadiums-archibald-leitch-design#:~:text=Archibald Leitch biography,-Born in Glasgow&text=He would go on to,lives on to this day. I want a Stadium with history, bang in the centre of the community. Each stadium with it's own identity. Surrounded by pubs and places to socialise. Free parking on match days and good public transport connections. An away end, home end, good acoustics. Both with Terracing. Sides with seating. No electronic advertising around pitch. Lights turned off in stadium on night games. Stands close to the pitch. I don't want violence, but I want an edge to visiting the ground. An atmosphere. ( Which the Club say they want, but do everything to deter it ) I don't want it to feel like I'm visiting a shopping Arcade or Cinema, which it does now. Lastly...I'd crack down massively on drug use in the Stadium. More respect shown to fellow supporters. Look after, the kids, elderly, infirm. Respect and look after them...don't abuse them. More 'Policing' by the 'elders' of the ' tribe'.

I'm gob smacked you've never heard of cloud seeding. I thought everyone knew about it. It's been going on since the 40s. It's been used to control weather in both good and bad ways. Disrupt the weather of an ' enemy ' country, destroy it's produce, manipulate their export and profit. It's all documented. In the same way people try to debunk chem trails. You've only got to look up in the skies to see it now. Water vapour vanishes. You get what are dismissed as thin veil clouds fogging the skies like a white mist. We had blue skies, clouds and planes water vapour trails in the past. We now get that...as well as the Criss cross of trails that don't vanish, just spread into a white dull mist in the sky. I've been in some countries where I've woken in the morning to be seen a criss cross pattern in the sky...not on any plane routes...white trails that just turn into one big thing white veil in the sky. Happened in California a lot.

Well he does love his Rugger...all sideways and backwards.

Surely we should have more than that, bearing in mind we are a Top 6 Squad

This has always been my favourite tapas spot. I know it's Bath, but it's a no brainer on the train. Looking forward to trying the new Chefs work, to see if it's good as the previous one. Anyone else been and rate it? La Perla. https://www.la-perla.co.uk/menu/ https://www.instagram.com/reel/C5yL334IWVe/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==

That'll be all the coke being consumed. Same goes with the National anthem at Internationals. Always sang way too fast.

I used to think the same, until I moved and worked abroad. It wasn't until I moved away, that I became more proud of my roots, heritage, traditions and nostalgia. I missed them. On moving back to blighty, it's kept with me. Drink up thy Zider will always resonate with me as our clubs ' unofficial' anthem. Imo...it should be blasted it more and fans encouraged to sing it. After all the likes of ' you'll never walk alone' and ' Delilah ' aren't modern by any standards. 60s. And yet those Clubs youngsters sing them with pride along with everyone else. We're a bit useless at tradition as a club imo. Chop and change our kit all the time, badge changes, no anthem, nothing is ' ours'. Even the Gas beat us on that front. Ask anyone in football where drink up is sang, and we will be top of the list. Let's own it more.

That's very much how I see it Dave. It'll be interesting to see over the summer who we recruit, who we release and what academy players are included in the first team. And whether any ' pathways' are blocked. Also if any words of truth are given by either the club or player re Mbude.

We've been blessed in a short space of time, with academy players who were Championship ready and some now Prem. Under NP I think he included some academy players, even though they weren't capable of playing well consistently at this standard. But then he wasn't given money to bring in players that were considered any better. At this present time under Manning, he's being given money to spend. To bring in loans. Imo, what we have in the academy right now, isn't Championship ready. Let's be honest, we've been very blessed in recent years. I also really believe that BT would push for players to be included in his previous role. In his new role, imo, it's no coincidence that inclusion has fallen off, regardless of whether they are good enough or not. Previously he was judged on the academy. Not now under his new role.
