For Haifa you'd have to go via Tel Aviv which is 90Km away, be near ?400 if it's in September having taking a look at Opodo website.. and about ?150 if Matchday 6 (in December) but obviously you'd still expect good weather.


For those wondering where Haifa is, here it is on the map relative to Europe. Actually I think they have to play their home games further south in Tel Aviv as it's within striking distance of Hezbollah rocket attacks in Lebanon... Hmmm may have to give this one a miss!

Sorry Anna - I keep forgetting you are an active fan as opposed to a TV fan like myself.

I'd be happy to predict Matt that the top 2 will go through in at least 6 of the 8 groups. Its not a stronger group stage this year by virtue of the change of system whereby they have let in a number of teams who are further down the Uefa rankings. Check out the uefa coefficients of some of the tier 4 teams, they are very low.


The top two will be strong in all groups and should ensure some good matches but in the end they will go through. I'd like to see Ronaldo back in England getting kicked about at MU or Liverpool, that would be good.

Not even when Liverpool has just 1 point from first 3 games two seasons ago? I thought that was very exciting as first we had to beat Beskitas, which we did 8-0, then we had to beat Porto, which we did 4-1, then we had to visit the Med and beat Marseille which we did 4-0 in their own backyard. Or how about when United got kicked out of Group stage few years back by Lille?
Personally Keef I'd prefer they just kicked out Wigan, Blackburn, Burnley, Fulham, Stoke, Hull, Sunderland, Bolton, Brum from Premiership and replace them with Ajax, Sevilla, Barcelona, Real, Bayern, PSG, Marseille, Valencia and Fenerbahce.
That's fine for the well off middle class supporters who can afford to take time off and travel to those countries for the games Matthew but what about the less well off. It would be taking away from the grassroots of the game. What you're proposing is a European Super League. I guess it'll happen eventually but only the rich will be able to afford to go to those matches and rest of us will have to pay-per-view or watch it down the pub.
Actually for once I'm with matthew. Tosspots who think their club is too big for these shores can fuck off as far as I'm concerne. Maybe the Asking price of a game or season ticket at cute little upton park might resemble something in the real world again.

I agree. Should just abolish small Clubs altogether and Non-League and Amateur and Sunday Leagues, oh! and any Park Football...I mean whats the bally point?


Its like me. I'm in a real dilemma who to support this year.


It "was" going to be Liverpool but they look ropey. I had discounted ManU but after their last result I'm re-considering so, currently, I'm torn between Arsenal, Chelsea ( obviously), ManU and Spurs ( just in case "Xmas" lasts until April).


I'll keep you posted on what I decide but it won't be a small Club.


The're just a waste of space.


"Wastemen," innit...

It's not a case of Clubs thinking they're too big for the PL rather a case of other clubs being too small for the Premiership. Why should we stop foreign Clubs competing in PL - it strikes me as little Britain mentality. No we should remember Football is about entertainment not a charity event for Clubs that don't even try to play Football. What is the Stoke long throw all about, or Hull keeping the grass long? Crikey it's the 21st century!


This isn't about people being able to afford a trip to Amsterdam or Madrid, as it's usually cheaper than a visit to the North East, this is about creme da le creme... okay maybe not as I also did put a place at the big table for West Ham ;-)

Never forgiven then for ruining the :


Summerbee/Bell/Lee/Young/Coleman Forward Line by bringing Rodney Marsh in when they were top of the League until March.


I supported them 'til March but had to change my allegiance once the results went pear-shaped, with Rod's disruption.


Support them now? I'm not that fickle.


I'll see how many other signings Citah make and if there god form continues b4 making a final decision.


Have to agree though about these small Clubs, if I had my way everyone would support the "Big 4/5/6" from Truro to Tynemouth and from Looe to Lowestoft....

    • Thanks all, our hope was (despite the diminishing estate) he would get on with it.  Progress is glacial, it's been two years since probate was granted, that's two cold and damp winters with no heating, and not surprisingly a pipe burst. He's blames the issues on the estate agent, who separately had a dispute with him, he had a wobbly when one of the beneficiaries spoke to the estate agent.  Separately he said it was the family's fault for letting the property get into a poor condition.  It was dated, but certainly not in poor condition. There are two five star reviews on Google, and five one star: ** WARNING** This solicitor firm has to be one of the worst I have encountered. The solicitor is prehistoric in his practices and will carry out work at his own snails pace, the fax machine he uses gets turned off at 2 pm and its near impossible to get him on the phone. STAY AWAY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, check the solicitors ombudsman, this firm has previous bad practice recorded.   Disgusting under no circumstances use this solicitor.For over 10 years he has not carried out the terms of a Will he has not re-invested money but has retained it.  He writes letters which are pure "Flannel" excuses for doing nothing.  You have been warned   shocking experience, delayed the whole process, told other side solicitors to not contact him as he feels pressured etc. never use.   Not fit for 21st century. No website, no email address, no electronic transfer. Very slow, very little communication.   Was not a pleasant experience dealing with this firm    
    • If you mean the one outside the church going towards Peckham, it still had the closed sign on it this morning, but as there are no road works there, I'm sure some of the drivers will stop there on request.  The stop outside the chippy coming from Peckham is closed as there are road works in front of it.  The 4 way traffic lights are in operation.., causing a lot of congestion.
