It's lovely because it doesn't have 'Qatar Airlines' plastered all over the front of it Have they gone back to not having a shirt sponsor for next season, or are they going to get a new one?

I'm undecided yet! Completely understand people who may use a motorhome to tour the whole of Canada or the US as a once-in-lifetime experience holiday, but if you are going to drive it down to Weston-Super-Mare and park it next to the beach for 5 days, then why bother?? I do think those motorhomes that tow ridiculous little cars behind them look stupid though!!

Caravans and Caravanning.......why? Where is the fun in driving really, really slowly for hundreds of miles whilst getting overtaken by tractors, to then sit in a white box for the weekend freezing your nips off in the pouring rain? Everyone of the drivers in the estimated 150,000+ that I feel like I have overtaken today looks miserable as sin as well! The worst part of it is that most of them are 'Sunday' drivers out on a Friday, causing chaos. Don't they realize that people have places to go and jobs to do? Just sell the box and go to Benidorm for a week, you'll have more fun!

Completely agree, but at the moment we need to find at least 11 of them.....

I would much rather have a 36 year old who's legs may have gone but WANTS to play for our club, than any of the dross we have at the moment who are just using AVFC as a stepping stone/final pay day/holiday. You can't train pride, heart and character into a player, and that is something we have been missing for a long time now. It may be a long shot for Stan to get back to playing professionally, but he has my backing all day long.

Ranieri hasn't really rotated his pack, however they have played 10-15 games less than most of the other teams around them. They went out of the FA Cup in the third round, and the League Cup in the 4th (after playing kids/reserves all the way through). Also, the 3 most substituted off players in the whole of the Premier League this season are Albrighton, Mahrez and Okazaki, so he is quite good at 'resting' his players during games (if that makes sense!?) Maybe it is just that other teams are struggling fitness and energy wise due to Europe/long cup runs etc.. making Leicester look quicker? In my opinion this has made them an easy target for the doping/PED rumours, and hopefully I'm not proved wrong......

I think England can get away with it if Woy plays Dier in front to protect the CBs, someone in midfield who is naturally defensively minded. It also allows our full backs (probably Clyne and Rose) to offer a threat further up the field where their defensive weaknesses don't get constantly found out. I think we missed Dier massively tonight.... I'd start the first game with the same team as v Germany, but Hart in for Butland, and maybe Vardy in for Lallana.

Thanks Wainy, definitely going to look into the walking tour later. We've booked the Northern Lights for the first night so we have a chance to go again if the weather is bad. I love seafood, but whale (and puffin) are taking it a bit too far for me!

I'm off there 2 weeks today for 5 days. Northern Lights, Golden Circle and Blue Lagoon already booked. Any recommendations for food, drinks, other sites to see.....? cheers!

If you want to be Villa then it doesn't really matter.... we are s**t and have no money on both versions!

He is probably the only true box-to-box midfielder in the squad at the start, and I always use one in the formation I play. He hasn't got injured (yet!)

I've got a midfield 3 of Veretout, Bacuna and Gardner running the show in my first season. 4th after 15 games but struggling for goals. I've had 8 1-0 wins....

The only other half-decent one I can think of was Schmeichel, most of them have been horrific transfers

People who use their mobile phone in the quiet zone on the train, despite their being signs on every window and door, and announcements from the driver. They always seem to have the worlds loudest, crappiest ringtones as well........knob jockeys.

Thought Carlos played really well tonight, he put himself about and broke up play a fair few times. If the new manager can get it into his head that once he has won the ball he needs to pass it to a player no further than 10 yards away wearing the same coloured shirt as him, then he could become very important over the next few months.

I went there on a stag do earlier this year, and I'd recommend a Union Berlin game. For a second division team, the atmosphere was brilliant and the fans are crazy. It is nearly all terraced, and the stadium is built in the middle of a forest. They have pop-up pubs/barbecues on the roads around the ground that you can go to beforehand. The Olympic stadium where Hertha play is good, however to me it was just the German Emirates/Etihad and is quite sterile. Drinks wise, I can't remember too many of the place names, but I didn't have a bad beer whilst I was there......

You pay for what you take surely? be that 1p, 5p, or 10p over. If you haven't got the man skills required to control a petrol pump to the penny, then you deserve to have to be searching the dark recesses of your glovebox for any loose change

Champions League, Here We Come!

I agree, I think he needs to start delivering an end product as soon as he is back in the first team. I think the kid is an absolute talent and love him as a player, but if he doesn't deliver straight away then there are now multiple options waiting to replace him who will, whereas there wasn't really that option at the back end of last season. He runs the risk of having his development being stifled (similar to Januzaj) if he doesn't deliver.

WHERE ARE WE GOING TO PLAY THEM ALL?????!!!!!!!.........

Guzan Richards Okore Clark Amavi Sanchez Guaye Gil Vertout Grealish Kozak I think we need to protect the back 4 with two holding midfielders for a least the first couple of weeks of the season, at least until we have some consistency there. Plus, it will give Amavi and Richards license to bomb forward and send some bombs in from wide for big Libor.
