We usually have one high-profile VP friendly game the weekend before the league starts, don't we? Gerrard's got rid of that as well as Delaney, then, has he? Fucker.

And a Football Club is not and should not be run like an Airline

FC LuftHansa Rostock would beg to differ.

And RyanAirdrie
Airbus UK are very much run like an airline. Their ground is next to a runway for a start.

In fairness I think the Commonwealth Games being on may have something to do with it.

Were we meant to play Sevilla last year but for Covid? Diego could have fallen in love sooner.

I remember us playing someone as a last minute replacement but can't remember who we played or who they replaced.

Getting to Stade Rennes

New St - Euston or Moor St - Marylebone
Eurostar St Pancras - Paris
SNCF - either TGV, or OuiGo - Rennes

Didn't say it was cheap - just an alternative to flying.

It is an alternative but the Eurostar prices are as usual eye watering. The sooner they don’t have a monopoly on that route the better.

Phoned Premier Travel yesterday £149.00 for the ferry and coach - go on Friday evening return Sunday

You need to sort out your hotel for Saturday night (unless you want to sleep in shop doorway) and get a match ticket
