    Stockholm

    I went in September and it was the windiest place I have ever visited. It was also quite cold and expensive. Despite this, there's loads to do there and it's a brilliant city if you like history.

    Australia

    I am thinking about going to Australia and whilst I am there, perhaps taking in some Australian Horse Racing. Has anyone been to the races Down Under and can recommend a good time to go?
  3. I completely disagree about Koln, there's not a lot going on there at all. Dusseldorf old quarter is nice, there are some great guest houses and pubs there.
  4. I have to agree about Budapest and the Tatra mountains - absolutely brilliant places. I would also suggest visiting Krakow in Poland and Ljubljana in Slovenia, the latter because it has the greatest ever beer
  5. Hmmm, judging by the quote from Houllier in this football tips blog it looks like it's Ireland who wanted out "Once a player wants to go, he goes. He said he wanted to go in January. He said that to his agent. I think we will be looking to get the same kind of money back." Clearly doesn't like Houllier. Just hope we do get our money back.
  6. Adebayor has been linked with a loan move to Juve. Just the start of another Man City clear out, they are going to go through so many players. Their problem is trying to persuade them to take a cut in their obsecene wages
  7. Europe could be an issue again this year, going out early last season was one of the reasons why we could push on towards the end of the season, if we play an extra 10-12 games in the Europe league just to get to the last 32 it could have an impact at the end of the season.
  8. Juan Roman Riquelme and Humberto Suazo have been linked with SHA! They will be like "Birming-who want to sign me???" Riquwlmw is past it now anyway, a great player in his day but he is a expensive mistake waiting to happen IMO.
  9. Arsenal and Tottenham both going for £10million rated Connor Wickham Does anyone know if this lad is any good? I haven't seen him play at all. It's just that Redknapp and Wenger both have habit buying expensive teenagers who don't turn out to as good as expected so don't always trust their judgement!!
  10. There is so much to dislike about the game nowadays. It has gone from one extreme to the other in 20 years. Back in the 80s the game had no money but was a lot more honest. Yet you had crumbling stadiums, rubbish pitches and hooligan fans. Now we have state of the art stadiums and nice flat synthetic pitches (apart from Wembley of course!) but we also players 'winning' free kicks (i.e diving) and obscene amounts of money. The money in particular has taken all the competition out of the game now, winners are determined by how big your wallet is, The art of coaching and team building has been removed. In the long term this will be bad for the game - People are already being turned off the England team. Once City start winning things every year and hoover up everyone elses players, paying them £500,000 a week, they will turn away from their club sides as well. The one thing that keeps a football fan going is hope, if that hope is crushed by a billionaires wallet there is no point in going anymore!!
  11. This!! I know McClaren had other faults but one of the main accusations against him was that he was too friendly with the players. Now Capello is being accused of being too strict with them. The manager can't win with this lot.
  12. Why did Capello bother bringing Carragher out of retirement? Surely that told him everything about his commitment anyway? I would rather see players like Dawson to Jagielka than slow has-beens like Carragher. f he starts for the rest of the WC he is going to get ripped tp pieces as soon as he comes up against anyone with pace. As for the goalkeepers is anyone surprised? We all knew that Green and James were error prone while Hart was inexperienced. However he is still the better 'keeper so why didn't Capello play him more in the warm up games to give him experience?? Instead it looks odds on that David calamity James is going to start against Algeria!
  13. Yep, there is no way that guy is 26!!! To be fair I don't think he has properly recovered from an achilles injury he picked up a couple of seasons back. When he is on form he is a great player, but watching him last year looked just bloated and lazy! Another rumour: Bastian Schweinsteiger linked with Chelsea. Though that could be just a journo putting 2+2 together as they have just released Ballack. I rate him though, I had him in my fantasy World Cup team in 2006 when he got a hat-trick in the final game!
