Re: Madrid City Break/Real Madrid tickets
Madrid is a great city and relatively easy to get around. Usual warning with Spanish cities to be aware of pickpockets and distraction thefts. Would second what an earlier poster said about the market next to Plaza Mayor it’s well worth a visit the food and drink available is amazing. With regard to...

Re: Thoughts on the Transfer Window
I think it has been the sort of transfer window we needed to reset. As far as I can see the focus is on up and coming talent and the club has not been risk averse. I am genuinely excited for next season but the reset also has to apply to us as fans and maybe don’t expect a return to the PL too soon....
