We did win the second division though, did we not?

That's the forerunner of the UEFA Cup/Europa League.

Any news on Subasic's 'injury'? Was it something serious, something minor, or was he feigning it as a tactic in case the game went to penalties? A friend told me it's a long-standing injury problem, but he's one of these people who never shows any interest in football unless he's given complementary VIP tickets for the CL or Bundesliga through work or the World Cup's on.

Bastard tickets are sold out. Can't go without one as the ticket acts as a temporary visa to enter the country. Can't get a normal visa as their process is normally 4 weeks to process or an emergency one takes 3 working days. So no good unless I can get a ticket from Fifa. Been on the site all day as they are drip feeding tickets on there but not been any when I get a slot on the site. Currently over an hour wait time. Loads of tickets were available for France v Belgium. Still a chance, going to give it until 5 pm today and keep trying before calling it a day on the idea.

If you're that desperate, wouldn't it be worth buying a France-Belgium ticket to act as your temp. visa, and trying to get a ticket for the England game while en route?

Tickets are £359 for the Belgium game which is the cheapest available now. I wouldn't be there in time to see that game or sell my ticket on to someone. Would be dead money.

We are doing it in my car, diesel C220 auto.

I love these type of trips mate, and for something at the end like you're gonna see, hopefully it'll be more than worth it.

Wish I was there, we want plenty of pics and updates. Shall we start a new thread?


We are 90% there, the wives have given the green light. It's down to the bosses tomorrow, I am a contractor so it's my own money, can't see a problem there. It's down to my mate but he is a senior manager where he is and he said he should be ok. So fingers crossed it's a goer tomorrow.

I will post updates here and on twitter's might be a bit sparce depending on when I am needed to drive. He won't update as he is a rag twat who will be listening to to me review the 2018 season :mrgreen:

Good conversation starter, 'So, Gary Neville and Rio Ferdinand think Raheem has been brilliant?'. That'll keep him awake ;-)

Good luck pal.



Cheers beefy. I might not bother with updating the world cup fantasy and prediction leagues. As i am top of both..... Just



Good luck WW.

Wild speculation...but was the Ronaldo signing being announced today some kind of attempt by him to undermine Hazard to make sure he's the bigger star that shines?
