Me too Rod. Ajax may just be the best team left in the competition.

I can recommend Bolivia in fact Sci, particularly the lovely colonial town of Salta. If the media gets you down mate then you don't have to read/listen to 'em.

Yes, well with respect to the “wise words” of Mr Bobby, I repeat I think it's nothing more than a juvenile sound bite. RobtheGiz said that nobody remembers who came second. Well, firstly if we were to come 2nd this year then certainly we, as well as a lot of others, would remember it for sure. Once again I have to say that it's all dependent on context. If Watford were to come 2nd I think they might remember it. In fact, you know what? I don't think winning the league is all that it's cracked up to be. Once you've won then initially that's great, but it doesn't last long in my opinion. It's such a fleeting period of self-congratulation. The summer break is short and so, very quickly it seems, a new season has kicked off and you're back competing from ground zero with everybody else again. I for one do not spend time once a new season has kicked off looking back on the previous season's triumph. I'm too bound up in the new struggle. OK, so you're the defending champions but hey, that's yesterday's news. Yeh, I reckon I'm pretty content with being competitive in the top 4 and qualifying for the CL routinely.

I couldn’t care less. Who cares? the idea that winning is everything and anyone who doesn’t is nothing is juvenile garbage. There's so much more to factor into the equation.

In the first place that isn’t necessarily true and in the second he's still put together a good team who are prominent in the major competitions.

Well they're doing well this season for sure. The worst they can finish is second.

Yep, you've got a great collection there alright.

There's nothing likeable about Johnson. He's a congenital, lying arsehole.

Well, we need to score and a striker was brought on. Is that so crazy? who would you have brought on Kev?

Was that tongue-in-cheek Ghost? I didn’t think that Kev was really moaning there, just making an observation that's all. It has some validity maybe too. Seeing as how we've got someone wide who can actually cross a ball, then it's not a bad thought to have Giroud up front as the target man. Hazard's not going to be looking for cross after all?

Re: 4 seasons in 1 day? They say the same thing about Melbourne. There's a good song from Crowded House which mentions it.

Excellent! Thanks Chara. I had thought that the dreadedDM was certainly not you style for sure. I’d welcome an exchange re: living under a Franco. That would be really interesting I reckon. As for Colorado? You surprise me there. I've always thought it a very nice place, but I'm aware that the mid-west is what it is when all's said and done. I have a brother-in-law, (English), who lives in Boulder which I think is a very nice place indeed.

Not with Dortmund he didn't. Back-to-back Bundesliga titles wasn't it?

I really don’t see why you're reading the Daily Mail for any reason at all Chara. It's a scumbag, fascist rag of the worst kind, quite apart from anything negative it might say about CFC.

Very interesting video Paul. Thanks.
