  1. Yeah too expensive in high season, plus too many people... we've been going for years, normally end of summer and Feb time.. This trip was a treat from my cousins for us hosting their wedding here, not a bad deal for them I reckon lol
  2. No Mate, its Watergate Bay Hotel in Cornwall, a fair lump bigger than our place!!
  3. I did say the same Joe, it wasn't well recieved! lol
  4. Exeter on itv, no VAR and they play like a Sunday side...switch over you'll love it
  5. Absolutely, agree with all of that mate... to get "caught" with the ball at the back was a crime in the past, "clear your lines" a shout that went up most times it was near a centre back.. so up in the air went the ball for the scrap to win first and 2nd balls... Now it's "take a touch", "time", "play out" etc.. I was a talker on the pitch, but one of only a few at our standard in most teams.. the amature sides talk far better now as well, it's more constructive... its certainly not as phulysical, no where near, but to a man they are better footballers
  6. I watched Tiverton play last season, always played a decent standard and was/is one of the top local non league sides, they played the same style as pro sides, passing out from the back, the centre backs happy to have the ball, the full backs always the out ball.. building in phases up through the pitch.. its no longer "put it into the big centre forward and play off him"!. No doubt the standard of football played is up quite a few notches, it's taken English sides quite a few years to play the European way.. Spain were obviously the blueprint, retain possession, meant everyone had to be comfo
  7. You suddenly feel very small! Fair play to the lad, he stayed pretty calm and worked out a plan quickly.
  8. I remember my uncle saying the same to me in the 90s compared to his time in the 60s/70s.. Nothing stays the same, the game has changed massively, I miss the physicality of the older generations, the speed and directness....even the muddy pitches and orange balls in the snow... but the skill levels and fitness levels in and modern game, plus the pace is incomparable imo.. I'd rather the style of those 90s teams without doubt, but that's cause I'm looking through older man's eyes
  9. Thank you mate Exactly the same if your this way..
  10. 7 am flight out of Bristol, at the dogs around 5pm (i think), I'd rather meet you when I'm not a long way into a session mate..lol.. My lad came up with us, he loved it, met some geordie youngsters and went on clubbing with them on the Friday night/sat morning..reckoned about 15 of them together at the end, treated him really well, he loved it up there... Definitely catch up next time I'm up that way mate..
  11. He used every pot and pan, my Mrs was left with the aftermath! Lol
  12. I'll have a dabble at that, not a gambler particularly either but must be worth a tenner.. Talking of gambling was up your way last weekend at the dogs in Newcastle, stag do... lost 100 quid on the dogs but had a great weekend, do love a night out in Newcastle
  13. Was going to say the same, if the odds are half decent must be worth a little punt on that...
  14. Exactly the same here, my eldest is back with us after her split with her bloke, it will always remain the safety net and first place to call.. we've got more than enough space, it's bonkers in here sometimes but I kind of like it that way..lol
  15. What a treat.. My lad said he'd do a roast for when we got home today, fair play to the lad he done a great job..
  16. Hello mate, hope your well...lol
  17. Ate it!!! f**k sakes feed the things mate..lol
  18. I'm loving giving a couple of the scouse fans on my what's app groups a bit of stick... gloating over an Argyle win...wrong so wrong... but...lol
  19. Yeah I saw the end of that game mate, City forced into putting De Bruyne and Foden on to save the day... some goal..and that screamer from the Jap at Brighton.. still magic in the FA cup
  20. Forest on Tuesday up City, could it be 2 Devon giant killings?
  21. I never thought it would happen..but I screamed on Plymouth today, all my brother in laws have been flat out on WhatsApp (Plymouth lads)... what a result...loved it
  22. Well..I did spend a fair bit of time on the cliff looking.. but I looked for it from the room And tried to spot it from the hot tub but it wasnt to be...no whale spotted.. gutted lol
  23. I think the French greased there hands with garlic butter!
