Sitting in a sunny garden reading. Especially after what seems like 6 months of winter.

We cannot have an all German final. Too much teutonic smugness.

Was going to suggest Sofia until you said you'd been to BG. Verona has a lot to see and good restaurants, and it's close to some beautiful scenery with good hiking options.

I really think he'd be a good player to keep for next season.

I want to sign him just for the potential chant: Che Che che Che Che che Che ya beauty Che ya beauty

Michael Owen is really trying to generate some kind of personality and it's excruciating

No, just taught EFL for a decade and spent two years living in Palermo. My posts in this thread are like 90% Italy and the Balkans

They have lovely grilled fish. Tuna and sword fish steaks. I guess that's good to eat? Just be careful of the passata di pomodoro and the espresso which are both weapons of mass destruction.

I want to adopt him.

Would also recommend Cafe Ateneo near Quattro Canti for breakfast. Mainly tourists but they have very good coffee and croissants and sitting outside you have a good view of the people and mopeds rushing past on via Maqueda and the Martorana church behind. One thing I'll say for people going to Sicily is that nothing has brought home the ageing of my digestive system like living there in my mind twenties and going back in my late thirties. The oil, dough and incredibly strong tomato sauce absolutely recked me last time.

I don't drive, so I can't ever really tell people to hire a car. But that area is well worth exploring and public transport isn't amazing so perhaps a good idea. Noto and Ragusa are very beautiful towns. People tell me the area round Marzameni has good sea, but I don't know that coast so well. I always go west coast.

Yes I went a couple of times. Lived in Palermo though so don't know the SE area so well. Lots of my friends love it though and there are some beautiful little towns nearby. The old town of Syracuse - Ortigia - is so beautiful. How long are you there for? Are you hiring a car?

Where you going?

Why can nobody sing that song to the right tune?! 🤣

Just a pure footballer. Guy was born to play the game.

I understand his baggage and why some don't like him but he's still a hero to me. Great player.

Now let's go and get to 100.

Thank God I thought there was some really problematic beliefs of his I didn't know about

That was a fun day.

The same, although I can't really remember the first couple of playoff defeats. Also - 5 relegations

thought he'd missed it for a split second

Cambiasso song brings a little tear to my eye
