Europa League 2025-26

[Tuscans]

I see Feyenoord are talking to Vardy about a possible deal.

I’m surprised he’s not at a club yet. On a one year deal, as cover, I wouldn’t be against him coming to us.

Scrap that, he's gone to Cremonese.

I'm away during the match against the murdering scum. Not too bothered about missing that tbh (if we are allowed to attend anyway).

I've only recently rejoined this forum but can I ask if you've ever been to Israel and Palestine and if so please document your time there...

You can't criticise Hitler unless you've been to 1930s Germany.

I'd love the Maccabi match to be nothing but a footballing contest but, anyone who believes there won't be at least a bit bother, is mistaken imo.

Their supporters won't know what's hit them. They may have done a minimum of 32 months military service, possibly even fought against Hamas and/or Hezbollah, but they'll shit themselves when some balding, overweight fifty-something Brummies come at them looking for vengeance.

Even worse when the heathens want to be their mates to fight d’vile

Let's face it 3 years in the IDF is no match for some plastic furniture and a few pints of piss.

Happy with that lineup. Playing fenebache later is my preference  as hopefully  be then we should have qualified. Also great to start and finish at villa park

I can imagine it being a dilemma for Small Heath. On one hand it's a chance to fight with the big lads against da Vile, on the other their multicultural Nelson Mandela beliefs get in the way.

Flights to Istanbul cheaper than the the rest, despite being twice/four times as far.

Diego Carlos has gone to Como so there's at least one off the "bound to score against us" list.

Yes but in his case it was likely to have been an own goal.

Drat.

I have been to Tel Aviv, Ramallah and Jerusalem. What would you like to know?

I spent a couple of months living on a kibbutz and then a couple of weeks at the end travelling around Israel.

I can document my time there as: getting pissed every night, failing to get off with foreign women, and not eating much to the extent that when I got home, I was so scrawny my mother burst into tears.

Istanbul can be surprisingly cold in winter so tourism drops. I was even there ina snow blizzard about 20 years ago.

[cdbearsfan]

I'm there in November so hoping it isn't too cold.

[Pat McMahon]

I’m there on 15 October and in the past few years late October has been fine. High teens / low 20s and sunny, albeit with occasional clods and rain. Hopefully November will be similar for you
