It's a bit 'Chinese whispers' esque so not sure its the type of stuff for Fred, but a friends brother is a semi pro footballer at the lower levels. Frickley are 5 defeats from 5 and lost 4-0 at home in the last game, and since then he's said their manager and better players have walked out.
They are away at Whitby today, 3pm. Whitby 17/20, or 85/40 -1 with BV.
Lovely fish and chips too.

Yes intending to go to Porto. The club is chartering flights which helps. Bruges is a bit soon but I have the euro season ticket and Eurostar to Brussels, local train down seems feasible.
I have always found booking on own is cheapest. Yeah this, plus its much more fun this way. Should only use official trips as a last resort IMO. Can always fly to Lisbon and get the train up

I've been lucky enough to go to all 3 places (Copenhagen and Porto for City, Brugge for a 2-4-1 mini cruise deal ) and yeah Porto is far and away the best of the 3; some great bars on the river and wasn't too expensive. Copenhagen will be bollock freezing in November and there is no escaping the cost. Brugge would be fun but its not far away so perhaps not ideal from a prep point of view? I'm very jealous of this draw

I've booked Germany done 5 nights with flights and accommodation for £220.
Just need a ticket.
Will travel to Manchester hopefully pick up a ticket for that but unlikely.
Good luck! Hopefully be a few tickets kicking about for that with this new passport system introduced last season. BMG probs the least glamourous tie of the 3 so imagine more people picking Celtic or Barca over Germany....

Toughest group for an English team again but no barcelona in last 16 if we qualify Great draws for Leicester & Spurs and prob Arsenal as well. Hopefully all 4 teams go through. The UEFA microwave does that to us. Sadly no feasible away day for me; Celtic is too soon, in Thailand for Barca and the weekend before BMG I'm in the Algarve from Friday - Monday....I wont be popular asking for the Wednesday and Thursday off work as well shame cos the flights were decent prices for BMG and would've happily done that if it weren't for the circumstances. Just hope for a decent last 16 draw assuming we can make it through.

Being billed as 'one night only'....James and The Charlatans playing at the Echo arena in Liverpool in December. 2 great bands, but at 50 quid a ticket its not a cheap night. Probably would've gone if it was my side of the country but Liverpool isn't convenient enough to make the journey. Great for anyone based in the north west area though (if you like that kinda music) Kaiser Chiefs heading out on an arena tour early next year. Don't think I like them enough to cough up

I much prefer being higher up but sadly for financial reasons I'm very much pitchside this season hoping the relocation window next season is less of a farce than this year and can get into SS3....I want to be able to see all of Pep's way of playing! I love Newcastle away cos you get such a great view from their visiting end, assuming you can survive the marathon getting up there. Any news on Nacho? Happened right in front of us, looked like he was just pulling up with a hammy or some shit then suddenly their defender was rushing over to aid him and beckoning the medics whilst fiddling around with Nacho's mouth. Looked potentially awful for about 15 seconds, tongue swallowing maybe? I dunno but wasn't nice to see and brought back pretty grim memories of MVF 5pm today, I'm told the microwave is getting powered up at 4.55 and is more than ready to fuck us over

The Hart situation is pretty telling and I'm actually really liking Pep's stance on it all. This is Joe's first real setback/challenge in his career (I know Pellers dropped him the other year but not counting that) and it looks like he's jumping ship at the first opportunity instead of tackling the issue head on. I think if Hart said he'd stay until January and work on the points Pep wants him to improve on, then it would be a big tick next to his character. Granted, it might still result in him leaving but at least he'd have given it a bash. The fact he's eager to leave immediately speaks volumes IMO. From what I've read it was a simple training exercise that really unimpressed Pep and his coaches; the ball was played onto his weaker foot, he had to adjust his feet, get the ball onto his stronger foot and play it out. He really struggled and I think that was the final nail in his coffin. All his long balls in pre season won't have helped either It's a potentially divisive move from Pep as Hart is generally loved by City fans, however you can't hire the best coach in football and then not back him on the big decisions. The question is why hasn't Hart been working on his footwork for the last 6 months? I'll be sad to see him leave but also thankful for having him in nets for the previous 7/8 years. It's a shame that as good a keeper as he is, his next move is downwards as any big club at home or abroad don't really need him.

On a purely selfish level, I've previously been away to Copenhagen, Sporting Lisbon, Bayern Munich and Dynamo Kiev so hoping City avoid them. Quite fancy Legia Warsaw, and Club Brugge would be a laugh, perfect tie to get the ferry over to from 'ull. Ditto for Eindhoven as well. Don't really fancy any trips to Turkey or Russia as it stands so would prefer to swerve them too

Instinct says Switzerland or Austria or somewhere like that.....Google says Bulgaria. If you got them away in September you could feature on the next series of What Happens In Sunny Beach.... Maybe we'll get turned over 6-1 and I'll look stupid (again), but not sure there is a need for a * next to City's name I've been telling everyone the draw is Friday, whoops.

Think dependent on form/fitness/opposition, it will be Sterling, Sane, Nolito and Navas battling for 2 spots on the wings, Sane and Nolito having a slight advantage in that both can play central or up front too. Can envisage Fernandinho moving to right back when Gundogan is fit, also wouldn't be surprised to see Stones playing in midfield a few times this season.
If nothing else, Pep keeps us guessing with selection and formations! Might draw the line at Bony in goal, though.
