As for Winter Sun. Many above mentioned. But best place I have been that ticks all the boxes (5 hours, warm, plenty to see and do) is Israel. Amazing place.

I am sat drinking a beer in Cyprus and it is warm, 27/28 during the day, and many good places to visit. BFC is here too and I understand CricketfieldClaret too, although not met him. I believe he is! :D :D Any recommendations? We have a car and happy to drive anywhere on the island North or South.

Am going out over the next International break for 10 nights, never been to the Northern side before but will post opinion once back in Blighty. Travelling with CyprusParadise, flying from Luton as it’s lots cheaper and can go straight to Watford on return. Was it yourself I bumped into at Latsi? I...

It was well put together and covered exactly where my dad was in the war. He never talked about it, in spite of my two sons asking him what he did throughout almost 30 years and then, on Christmas Day 1997 he started to tell them what he did in North Africa and the advance through Italy. He was Roy...

Oh hang on.

I met Jepson when he was with Warnock at Palace. Was a real gent and was very fond of his time here. Ended up sharing a pint with him and couldn't speak highly enough of us or our fans.

Disagree, I'm sure a few of our lads prefer playing most weeks with a fan base that backs them to the hills! Thinking of Westwood/Barnes sort of player, particularly Westwood that got scrutinised & was one of the 'fall guys' when at Villa. As I say. Nice thought. But every one of our players wo...

Jozy Altidore is good example of that. 39 goals in 69 games for AZ Alkmaar - 2 goals in 70 games for Hull & Sunderland And for every Altidore there are plenty of Van Nistelrooy, Kluivert, Bergkamp, Romario, Ronaldo, Van Persie, Kuyt, Huntelaar, Luis Suarez, Arveladze, Mols, Makaay, Nillis, De J...

Cricketfield does tend to struggle with numbers. It's also a bit of a stretch to compare the Eredivisie to the Premier League. Even if you discount his record in Holland, which is good he has scored as many goals in The Bundesliga for Frankfurt in far less games than Wood has for us at this level a...

He has 26 at 27 years old to be accurate So he has - wiki hadn't updated Saturdays goal and I hadn't realised he had scored 1 other premier league goal before he came here.. 28 next month. I am a big Wood fan. So wasn't a criticism of him. More recognition that Haller is a very good player and in t...

Suspect that would be Stan rather than Warnock who wouldn't.

cricketfieldclarets

Its only 4.5 hours away.

The game is becoming so sterile now. Definitely think he is the last or one of the last of his breed.

There are no 'rivalries' like his and Stan, Keane and Vieira etc now.

Cant think of a better solution.

@ Rileybobs - clear day light. i.e. no part of the body is overlapping with that of the defender. Be it toe, leg, head or even arm.

Had a nibble at it a couple of months ago. I think it’s a glorified online casino. The spread of buy and sell can often be large too. I didn’t lose but I did get bored quickly. The movement in player prices is basically down to them scoring, assisting and playing well in a game. If they don’t play ...

Very good manager who was always good value.

Miss characters like that and a feud like his and Stans in the modern game.

Haller IS a good player. What would Wood cost today after 70 goals in the top flight at 25 year old?

(wood has 24 top flight goals at 28 years old).

To be honest Wesley looks a decent player to me. Big, physical. not bad in front of goal with a decent record. Especially for 22. Sounds like the sort of criticism Abraham was getting but that's quietened down a bit,.

Agree with some of the sentiments. And silences at football are asking for problems. Lots of West Ham (and Burnley fans) pre match drunk under the stand singing on Saturday. BUT as post above, there are that many it is hard to keep up. But having said all that, there is nothing as moving as a comple...

Please tell us all how you knew that when we signed him. And follow it up with the next lotto numbers.

Just said same. Its shocking how theyve allowed their defence to be so poor. Very poor from pep.

Excellent point.

Absolute joke that no pen given there. And theres no way they would dare overturn that when liverpool score.

Shocking.

Theyve some good players. But the problem is they are the most inconsistent side in the league. Not just this season. Pretty much every season.

But forgetting today, would definitely take Anderson, Yarmolenko, Haller.
