Wow, so many recommadations! thank you! think iv decided on a night in Naples then head down the coast to Pompei. then to visit Sorrento and Capri… any further advice is welcome 👍🏻 so many nice places to see so little time! If that’s where you are going then I’d definitely recommend a visit to Posi...

just looking at flights and it’s much cheaper to fly to Trapani, have you been to Trapani? is it worth a visit? Don’t know anyone that’s been other than to fly there. If you are going to Sicily the nicest place is Taormina - stunning town.it’s also next to Etna if you want to visit a volcano that i...

Ok, which queue would you have been in 10 years ago?

Are you pis-sed ?

Big Vinny K

Lake Garda or Lake Coma much nicer than and cleaner than Sorrento in my view. Verona beautiful city and lovely places like Simeoni and Como along the lakes. Trains are excellent too - as they are in most of Italy (with the exception of Naples !!) Other area we loved was Lucca in Tuscany - not on the...

No queue, no passport checks, you just sail through to the exit. Proper.

Oh yep - had the same come to think of it in June when I flew from Milan to Spain

Big Vinny K

Sure, not like anything happened to markedly increase the volume of "non-EU" passengers You are talking nonsense. There was hardly a queue for the EU passport control - how would that be explained based on what you are saying ? And why would the airport have been like this for the last few months ?

Flew into Lisbon from Paris the other day, off the plane and in an uber in about 20 mins, most excellent airporting. Travelling EU to EU is superb.

Yes the EU queue was enviously small !

Given the cause, is that really on them?

That’s not the cause.
Been like this for months apparently
Not sure why you would mention that

It’s pure numbers of people who are non EU and no electronic machines for the non EU

Sh-itshow of an airport still.
Ridiculous queues when you land for passport control

I saw the programme and what puzzles me is surely the players saw the properties they were investing in. Did they get to own any of these properties, if so they may have deliberately been overpriced but surely there is still some equity in the property which if they were to sell it could pay off so...

Obviously you never watched us in the old 3rd & 4th division then.

I have watched us in every division and I’d still say Leon Cort is one of the worst defenders I have seen play for us. And at least some of those back in the 1980s cost us virtually nothing !!

Big Vinny K

Well it can if you’re making fortunes on others. As I said anyone with an understanding of our accounts and the size of our wage bill and other big costs would know that we cannot afford to make too many of these mistakes in the transfer market. The decent profit we have made on 2 or 3 players only...

As memory serves..
Wayne Thomas 1.5mil.. Kyle Lafferty 4mil.. Leon Cort 1.5mil…
Laughing all the way to the bank!

Not on the Leon Cort one - we had our pants royally pulled down on that one by Stoke and Pulis. One of the worst players I have seen play for Burnley.

Big Vinny K

We made £50m+ on Odobert and Trafford combined. I’d be amazed if it was anywhere near that with sell on clauses, agents fees etc. Overall the point still stands that a club like Burnley cannot afford to make too many £15m (or thereabouts) mistakes. It’s not just the transfer fees either - all these...

Donnarumma has always played behind world class defenders, so hasn’t been that exposed. He may be the one who’s not ready for the Premier League. Really ? Have you seen the Italian national team defence in the last few years ? He’s been exposed just as much as any top class keeper has since he brok...

Give over. Give over what ? You think if he would have seen Mount pulling Walker before Walker leant on him he would have still given the penalty ? Or do you seriously think that referees are not scared of the repercussions of turning over a VAR recommendation ? Because if they weren’t I think give...

Big Vinny K

Does the same argument apply to the penalty overturned in the first half or was re-reffing that one fine? The difference between the 2 is that for the first one he thought it was a penalty from his angle because he could not see that Mount was actually fouling Walker whereas on the second one he ha...

How does pulling someone’s shirt from behind make them fall forward ? It’s blatant cheating and simulation. Amad obviously feels his shirt being pulled and then decides to try and get the penalty. If he doesn’t deliberately fall forward and the force of the pulling stops him from running forward the...

Again, applying the one game logic.
So it's ok for you to criticise after one game (spurs) but not ok to be positive after one game (Sunderland).

As far as I can see from this forum he hasn’t been positive since we won Burt Freeman got the winner against Liverpool in 1914

It’s painful

That shot he had at end was great technique. There is one great camera angle they got of the shot and you can see that he has caught the ball so sweetly.

But that’s not the ticket transfer facility either as there is no section to include claret numbers of the person you are transferring the ticket too.

What is "forward to a friend" other than a ticket transfer option?

Different functions
Can I explain it any clearer than to say that there is ticket transfer option that says ‘ticket transfer” on it. “Forward to a friend” is a different function - but congratulations on finding that one.
