Even for a couple as "sheltered" as the Vardys, the Middle East is a strange choice of venue right now for a holiday. Unless...someone else was paying..

This is the same Steve Cooper who couldn't get Forest out of the bottom six, despite a budget of squillions (more than he'd have with us). And the same Cooper whose side used to regularly get battered on the road - including against us when we'd made the worst start in Premier League history. Aiyawatt and Rudkin aren't the sharpest tools in the drawer, but even they would steer clear of a choice like that. Wouldn't they?

Fuchs vs Palace.

It isn't. La Liga is already ahead and after tomorrow, both Serie A and the Bundesliga are likely to overtake it.

Two teams, of course, with squeaky-clean histories, whose progress has been achieved entirely on merit..

The seagulls had better watch themselves on the Rome metro. Pickpockets and muggers lurk there! Rome wasn't really all that - horrible city, horrible fans (who set my coat on fire! 😯) and a horrible game. Enjoyed other trips that season on the European tour (Warsaw, Rennes and Naples included) far more. Hope Brighton fans all make it back safely, and don't get ripped off at the airport like some City fans did!

Buying Chris Sutton for £5m in 2000 instead of Ade Aknbiyi..

A Seagrave phenomenon, as anyone who's seen KDH take corners this season will know.
