Best of luck with it all mate. And if all else fails, feel free to hop on a London train of a televised matchday and come sup a pint with me and a pint of water with an errant Aussie.

By the way, Hahn Airport is bloody miles away from Frankfurt itself. Best part of 2 hours by bus if the traffic's heavy going.

May I make a case for the myriad charms of Mainz as a base for this fixture? A mere half-hour or so from Eintracht's stadium by scummy local cattle train.

Isn't "Aslan" Turkish for "lion"? Something like that anyway. </pubquizbore>

Awful fair, to be face.

Mid-table Bundesliga fare. I wouldn't be too worried, though it won't be a cakewalk either.

Shite, I'm off to Edinburgh for the weekend the day after the Frankfurt game. Maybe not then.

Oo, we've got Frankfurt... I could be tempted to a jaunt back over to Mainz for that one. Small consolation then.

and fenerbahce. brilliant Hope it's not an away match Should be at home.

Fuck me, Fener too

"They look excited at being drawn out, don't they? Maybe they didn't realise they were in it..." I love the way the UEFA operative pronounces the word "awailable", too.

Asylum-seekers keep taking all their benefits so they have to make a living wage somehow.

Blatantly written while wearing Superman underpants.

I work from home so probably listen to about 10 hours of music a day. I guess I could cope with a couple of new albums a day if I were adventurous enough, but I'm not.

Best part of 100 a day across my various accounts, I imagine. The filter on my main account ain't half bad though, catches almost everything and rarely fingers anything by accident.

Class!

That's "reet canny gan"

As opposed to surreptitiously? Look, over there! ....... Head? What head?

Well that's a surprisingly hard-line Muslim thing for the Yanks to be doing. Anyone fancy pointing that out to them?

Green: "I think Emre is hurt by embarrassment, actually." Nevin: "Or it could be a twisted ankle." Comedy gold.

Ball to be humped up by Harper to the towering Roeder tbh

Aye, regardless of a Proper Happening on the 16th/elsewhen/not at all, let's be sure to grab a beverage or two on the 23rd.

You might want to see a doctor about that

First hour of J&SBSB is pretty cack, but it gets going.
