  1. Don't know many other specific ones apart from those in the original post but I'd say: - Avoid via Maqueda in Palermo. Tourist trap now. The only good place that's good to eat there now is on Quattro Canti, in an old bookshop. Can't remember the name but you'll know it when you see it. - Kalsa is quite a good area for al fresco eating and drinking in Palermo. - The area round piazza olivella is also good for drinking, bit more studenty. Via candelai is popular too but I never liked it that much. There was a bakery nearby that we used to go to after drinking at like 3am and get sfincone straight out the oven. Absolutely unbelievable. But can't remember where it was and what it's called. I dream of having it one more time. - If you want good solid Sicilian fair, get pasta con le sarde or pasta al forno. Caponata, sword fish and pasta alla norma are also not to be missed. - 'Pezzi' (or as we used to oh-so-hilariously call them 'doughy ****ers') are very popular, basically bread stuffed with cheese and salami. Ganci is the most popular The part of Cefalu beach I usually go to - Lido poseidon - has a little bar where you can get pezzi and beer after a swim, still one of life's real pleasures. Cefalu beach is busy, and looks touristy, but the water is gorgeous and the view of the cathedral and mountain when you're in the sea is great. Cefalu cathedral is one of the great cathedrals of Europe. - Beef spleen sandwich is also popular. - After writing this I'm now mourning the loss of my youth and freedom.
  2. Was thinking today it feels like we've been promoted really early just because it's so cold outside. This is not end of season weather.
  3. Wood's a Luton fan
  4. More games. No VAR. Winning. Vardy continuing to deliver. Fatawu. Ricardo. Cup run. Leeds falling apart, again.
  5. Honestly I really disliked the O'Leary team and the rimming they used to get in the press, I don't know why. Maybe because they were never as good as people claimed they were. And it's a Yorkshire thing I guess. I think as a supporter of a team like Leicester it irritates you when you see less successful clubs built up just because they are from a big city and won a few trophies some decades ago.
  6. Haven't always enjoyed it but it's a great achievement. Very difficult to get promoted from any league and he's done it at the expense of a manager with a lot of experience of getting out of the Championship.
  7. I know you should be motivated by love not hate but I would almost rather Leeds stay down than us finish 1st.
  8. East Anglian derby back in the Premier League please.
  9. There's something quite enjoyable about it though, watching at home and breaking out the Dom Perignon and best of Mark Morrison at the final whistle.
  10. Yeah it would be fantastic to get to 100.
  11. Tbh the Leeds factor makes it pretty enjoyable
  12. The crappest without a doubt, for various reasons, but it's a huge relief.
  13. Shows what pressure can do to professional footballers.
  14. ahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
  15. Can we order 4000 of these for Monday night?
  16. Really pleased we won so spectacularly on Tuesday. Feels like a moment.
  17. Two weeks since Plymouth. Vibe shift.
  18. I like Charles. I think if he'd come to the throne twenty years ago he could've been quite a transformative head of state. William will be awful.
  19. Great Yarmouth FC. Three lion-fishes on their shirt.
  20. all QPR aren't we?
  21. Feel a bit sorry for John. Family issues I think.
  22. The period is really interesting but also the life of Henry II and Eleanor and their children is great and deserves a TV adaptation as much as the over-exposed Tudors. John's also got a connection to my home town of King's Lynn and we recently put up a statue of him. People still look for his treasure in the Fens... https://www.bbc.com/travel/article/20170926-the-lost-jewels-of-bad-king-john
  23. Yes! Was my favorite so far, because I'm very interested in his reign and because I loved the cathedral.
  24. This is what VAR should be used for and it'd be incredibly easy. Need to get rid of this from the game.
