You know it’s heating up at City when I’m actually slightly annoyed to be going to Greece on Friday as I’m missing the game… hope ifollow works abroad

It's not ifollow anymore, it is City's own streaming service, if you go to their website you should be able to buy the game, unless Greece is one of the countries showing the game live.

Just out of interest. Does anyone know how many players from the academy ever make it to senior squad; how many are transferred elsewhere; how many are released?

I missed Massive and will miss Brizzle due to holidays. First home league match of the season for me will be Coventry. Couldn't even go to Blackburn or watch on IPTV as I was otherwise occupied. Clearly not a superfan.

McKenzie is having an okay time at Gillingham, Max Clark is there also, though his has been a bit up and down at different clubs. Dan Batty was doing okay, though I think he just left Fleetwood.
 
You saying that reminded me that some years ago I took a Dutch girl out in Amsterdam, had a delightful evening, and to my surprise this saying "going Dutch " was true, they do actual expect to pay half.
Just an aside about Amsterdam. I once went to this fish restaurant in Amsterdam. It was run by a posh English guy called Gervais. I got chatting to him. He was from Surrey and a nice guy who spoke softly and was a bit limp wristed. Anyway, not being used to a posh fish restaurant. I asked what he recommended. He said go for the squid, done in a light oil and with a tartar sauce its lovely. I thought okay. Go for it. The deal was you picked the squid you wanted from a tank. I thought odd, but when in Rome etc....I went to the tank.. There was this green, hairy lip squid, going wild and mental. I told Gervais I'd have that one. But that's when the chef and chief plate washer, a hard looking German guy called Hans, rocked up and said. 'No chance. You can't have that one.'
I asked why? 'He's my favourite,' said Hans and made it clear I couldn't have that particular squid....... So the moral of the story was...wait for it. Hans that wash dishes, can be soft has Gervais with wild, green hairy lip squid.

Great story. On the restaurant theme, I was in Imjuiden and stayed at a small hotel called Augusta, they had a nice restaurant and on the wall there was a big old clock, written on the face was Paragon Station Hull, the owner had bought in an auction when he came over to Hull at Gilbert Baitson's.

That's what he said....I recall the great Paragon Station clock theft.
