Last time we stayed in Peyia a little out the way of Paphos and about 5 mins drive from Coral Bay which had loads of restaurants and shops on one strip if you like that. Also a couple of supermarkets. If you have the car you're on the doorstep of the mountains and not that far from some good archaeological sites and you can have plenty of privacy too.

Hire a car, Cyprus is a piece of piss to drive around and the scenery is great and there's loads of places if you want to stop and eat.

Ok, Who is this, then?

More from that article:

You're not going to believe this, man! Alan Pardew: "After having the international cuisine days last year we thought we'd try something I did when I was at Charlton which we called 'tribute day'. It's where we celebrate one of our players who have excelled or just done something to make a difference. We usually invite their partners into the training ground or their family. A while back I heard a young fan say to his Dad, (I can't really do the Geordie voice but it was something like), 'Eee Dad, who's that keeper, man, it isn't Krul', and the Father replied that it was Rob Eliott. So the young boy says 'is he any good, Dad?' the Dad then told him he was a 'bulls knacker'. I'd no idea what he meant so I turned round to Andy Woodman on the bench and he didn't have a clue either, so I asked Stoney who's a Geordie and he said it meant he was the Dogs nuts., so there you are, I thought well done Rob, so we made him the first 'Tribute day'. I invited his Mum and Dad up from Sidcup and after training we presented him with a small glass goblet and pulled back a curtain with a poster of Rob with his name on and 'Bulls Knacker' underneath it. We explained to Rob it's Geordie meaning and he was chuffed to bits let me tell you, I was talking to his Mum and I caught his Dad, John, looking at the poster so I told him he must be very proud, that was Rob Eliott, his boy, a proper Bulls Knacker. Even Stoney, a hard nosed unsentimental Geordie got all emotional, covering his mouth and running out the door. He wont thank me for saying it but I swear I could hear him sobbing in the corridor." http://www.standard.co.uk/pasportsfeeds/pardew-savours-cabaye-display-9020719.html?origin=internalSearch

"Not supposed to be here, you say?"

"Your name?" "Essembee." "Your specialised subject?" "The fucking obvious." "And.....?" "Sunderland AFC."

Watched The Godfather on film4 HD. It really is timeless.

Exactly, however the clubs which would miss out by going in a competition more like the UEFA cup of old won't want to take any pay cut at all. As a spectacle UEFA have devalued their own competition but this was brought on by greedy clubs in my opinion trying to cement themselves at the top. UEFA would have to have balls to change this which they just don't have. The branding of the UEFA cup to the Europa League was a disaster waiting to happen.

Even though it isn't one of my most memorable games, the most emotional I've felt at a game where I felt a lump in my throat was at Old Trafford when the whistle went when we beat Sheff Utd to get to Wembley for our first FA cup final in my life of supporting our club, (I was in nappies in 1974 for our last cup final). Even though I knew I wouldn't get a ticket it was a feeling of payback and a reward for all the shite and away days spent getting beat at places like Bournemouth and Stoke. It was only a second division side we beat but it wasn't the opposition that mattered, it was the reward and our destination. Finishing eighth doesn't compare.

Fancy seeing the slave film, the jap pow film and maybe gravity.

zip it, Zanetti.

Who was it on here who put a holiday in for the final day of the transfer window?

Sky sports news understands..... They understand how to put a pretty face on the screen I'll give them that.

Poor lambs.

To be fair, they haven't a fucking Scooby what European football travel entails.

PaddockLad tomorrow............

Sounds lush.

Looks lovely.

Alan Pardew: "The Cup seems to elude us". I wonder why?

Steven Taylor: "It's a killer blow. We understand. Listen, this competition is massive and people don't realise how big this competition is. Even from a young lad, come the FA Cup, this is what you want to be in and to try to win. But the last three years just haven't been good enough. We just need more belief. This is the third year on the trot for us - that's got to hurt. We didn't deserve to win. Maybe for 20 minutes in the first half, we played well and possibly 10 in the second half when we had a good little stint but they just wanted it that bit more. We didn't deal with the set-plays and, at the end of the day, that has cost us the game. I am just devastated we lost." I'm devastated we're out too. Also not happy that this fucking Goon is still getting minutes on the pitch and representing NUFC in the media.
