We can't, won't and shouldn't move. Yes, the walk to VP isn't like going to Craven Cottage, but when you pass under the flyover after getting off at Aston station, there's no better sight or feeling than seeing the Holte come into view once you turn the corner.

Nothing more needs to be said.

I can't believe people would countenance a move from Villa Park yet get annoyed by some fans saying 'Stevie G'.

With the US franchise, I wonder if this is a means of bringing through some South American players who wouldn't ordinarily get a look in?

I've never been, so may be doing it a disservice, but I can't think of anywhere I'd less like to go to.

I thought the new post-Brexit work permit rules basically meant that half decent players from South America (particularly those that play in Brazil or Argentina) were pretty nailed on to get work permits anyway?

Not to say that isn't the plan, mind.

I said exactly that to my now wife, about 6 months before the surprise, no expense spared trip she'd spent a bomb on was about to take me there for my 30th.

It was fucking ace, and I didn't gamble. I think that was a big part of it being ace.

The club should buy a load of Sedan chairs with handles long enough for six fingered hands.  The noses need some employment so there'd be no worries finding people to carry them.  As long as you don't want to go to Sherlock Street after the game it'd work fine.

This idea has the added bonus of making me laugh thinking about 'The Thick of It'.

If you're not into gambling or prostitutes (I quite like gambling) what is there to do in Vegas?!

Vegas is incredible. I went a decade ago and would drop everything and go tomorrow if I thought it wouldn't end in divorce!!

Apart from the casinos, there are some incredible shows there. Or take a helicopter to the Grand Canyon. Or do the Hoover Dam tour. You can go in the other direction and visit Death Valley for the day (it's more interesting than you might imagine). There are likely other excursions that I'm not aware of (don't bother with the Area 51 one though).

There also the World's tallest thermometer* in Baker, CA on the way to/from LA.

*It's not really worth the detour.
