Eddie, I think that is a standard time as it takes that long for BT and the ISP to get the line sorted (something like that anyway) Look at my free broadband link in the computer section (probably where this thread should be to be honest) for a good broadband offer from Virgin.net. I was up and running in 7 days

Or how about: I like the sound of Linzertorte, Groestl and even the Schlutzkrapfen sounds ok . . . . . actually sod it... I'll have a big mac!!!!

Got everything sorted now including ticket... happy days

I'll be in the bar at Coventry as soon as I've checked in. Hoping to get a couple of beers on board before flying. Gav, Superstella, I wasn't having a go about heading off to the Irish bar, It just seems to be one of those strange English things. I've ended up in Irish bars in Madrid, Portugal and Finland over the last few years.

I always find it strange that peaople head abroad and look for the nearest Irish themed bar.

I've sent off a postal application on Saturday but as a non season ticket holder it looks like I may struggle to get a ticket.

Capt, surely the official website would have the correct transfer details direct from the club. I'm pretty sure that if our official website had quoted a fee we would believe them.

Interesting MickyGray136, I saw this very same shirt on ebay a few months ago. Unfortunately I didn't add it to my watched items list so not sure what you paid for it. (unless it was your friend that bought it off ebay)

Ste, the official Palace website states that: "a fee of £2.5 million will be paid to the Lancashire Club" Sounds like it's a straight forward deal without the usual performance related perks. otherwise I'm sure it would have been worded differently

Which side of defence does Scaloni play on?? I had a feeling he played right back but if he plays left back he could be worth a shout. As he has been released he is not affected by the transfer window.

£10 a ticket, not bad at all I'm sending my application in by post. Really hope I manage to get a ticket

maybe Hughes feels we are strong enough in midfield. It certainly doesnt seem to have been a priority for him.

So we paid less for Benni than we got for Skefki. we've got to be happy with that. Fair play to Shefki he worked hard and didn't moan when he wasn't in the team. He always came accross as a 'proper' pro. Take note Toddy. Good luke Shefki

Take kuqi out of the list Hughesy. He's gone to Palace

Anyone got any idea where waggy is?? I thought he would have been up for this trip.

Hopefully we will have some new faces in the team by then. I'm really looking forward to it. Unfortnately I have to admit to one slight error of judgement. I forgot that it is the one place in the world that Mrs. Ricky has always wanted to go. So when I got home and started spouting how i'd booked my flight to Salzburg she was less than impressed.

Lets have a straight swap of kewell and Warnock for Neill. That would solve our attacking midfield and Left Back problems in one deal.

So you dont believe that throwing the captains armband to the floor when subbed against Brum was a display of bad attitude on the pitch theno??

9-12 euros per ticket, that'd be nice Actually I've not even considered tickets for this. I hope I get one now.

Looking forward to it Gav. I'm sure I owe you and Debs a pint for your hospitality in the past. Bring it on!!!

It'll be Thomsonfly, thats who I'm flying with

£195 from Coventry now

Looks like there will be a few of us on the Coventry flight

booked up £120 from Coventry. Please don't let it be changed now On the same flights Glenn I'm travelling on my own so it'll be good to see some familiar faces

I've got Uefa site open. The first group is being drawn now. We are in the third group so not too long to wait
