Pre-season 2024/25 - Borussia Dortmund

[brontebilly]

Yeah, most Everton fans don't rate Onana or Dobbins and say we've been stitched-up and thanks very much for pay refing off the rest of our new stadium while Villa Park continues to rot.

Cheeky scamps, those Scousers!

we'll see about Onana. Dobbin, I don't get!
I wonder how they'll feel about Tim in 3 months' time?!

Wouldn't be surprised if Tim also went out on loan. Didn't seem remotely near PL standard but Dycheball might suit him better. If anyone has been stitched up it's the two players involved.

Not sure they're any worse off than they were before the transfers. Tim wasn't good enough when given the opportunity last season, so chances are a loan was on the cards anyway.

Bilbao deserve better than the Bescot.

Bilbao at The Bescot is alliterative, and would be a good name for a Half Man Half Biscuit tribute band.

Impressed with your family’s commitment and stamina, CT!
I realise distances in the USA are a bit further than popping up/down the M6/M1.

Have you seen yourselves on the YouTube film of the match?

It might be fun if Villans attending these matches gave a shout out to H&V with a rough location in the ground concerned, so we could try to spot you! 😃👍

(But it’s a crowd, Louzie0.
Easy, you’ll be the stunningly good looking fans.)

Not seen any video yet but my daughter made posters to hopefully get on TV:)

Niagara town is commercial, but no worse than many other vacation destinations. Daughter loved that there was so much to do. The falls are great and they do a nice job with lighting them and fireworks at night. The drive to Niagara on the Lake is beautiful too especially the Whirlpool area, but as nice as the NOTL architecture is, it is mostly shops, restaurants and wineries. We don't really drink so that soon gets boring for us. The bonus was that the bridge back to the US was empty, one car in front of us at immigration. We will definitely go back.
...and we still have another 176 miles yet to get home !

[Louzie0]

You can’t be home quite yet, but I hope you’re considerably nearer!
Sounds as if you all had fun at Niagara.

🛻 Travel safe and I’ll look out for the posters!

[CT Villan]

Thanks Louzie0, we just arrived home, over 1500 miles round trip

What a waste.

Hugely so. 

[CT Villan]

Do you guys want me to post some of the pre-game player pictures I have from Columbus ? Don't want to choke the thread up if nobody is interested.

Here's an example...

[ChicagoLion]

Do it CT

[Dogtanian]

Yep, let’s see em.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Bring it on, CT.

[cdbearsfan]

Go for it mate.

[CT Villan]

Here you go, enjoy...
