None of my business but ...

... I'd advise everyone to take some time to sit and watch the playoffs again, even just the highlights of all three games.

Once the new season starts things may change and that moment will be lost.
I have watched them in full 3 times since the games. Just a special achievement by a great set of coaches, players and fans.

It is going to be very different from now on, hopefully just as good. The one constant, as always - the fans.

On that note, us fans, I am off to watch Belper Town in a friendly today instead of the lads <laugh> My loyalty knows no bounds, but I am on the guest list. Free entry and 1 pint.
 
Looking forward to watching the game later. Hopefully see some more patterns of attacking play. Not able to go today as it's the Mrs turn to head out for some social activity, so got the kids. Will have it on the TV though.

Cracking day for it.
 
Looks like Xhaka has a visa now

That is the most intense training I have seen yet in these vids from pre season. That first 6v6 seemed to have the best of our current available defenders and midfielders and the pace and quality looked good to me. Lots of demands of each other, some foot in and plenty one touch play. Good little session for the coaches that, gives you confidence.

Betis look sharp too, it should be a good game

Looking like I might not make it home in time. Feeling like a traffic magnet, stuck behind a load of classic cars lined up to do a parade but can only see their exhausts. Can you pay to view ?
 
Thought it would have sold more than it has tbh, looking forward to getting back to the SOL. Be a good game hopefully
