I’m on my way to collect it 9. I’m leaving for the States tomorrow morning. Flying Alicante to Madrid to JFK and then to Atlanta on Wednesday morning. Will I be anywhere close ?
I’m grilling steaks for my daughter and her mother around 4pm tomorrow. You’re welcome to join us. I live about an hour away from Atlanta.

I’d love to 9 but I’ll be in flight to JFK where I should land at 6pm. When I get to Atlanta on Wednesday I’m heading east for 2hrs by car to Augusta, is that the right direction for your place ?

I surprised Frosty once in Auckland and Vaalae too so don’t right it off, and they didn’t owe me 10 bucks 🤣
Unfortunately I’m west, Augusta is about 3hrs from here. I’m off Friday though, so maybe I could meet you halfway for a pint and of course the $10. 😂

Well that was worth getting up for at silly o'clock in Thailand. Well played Townsend so much more solid defensively than Davis. With an assist as well 👏😃🙏

The more I watch that second goal from Delap the better it gets. What a move it was from the back and a brilliant overlap and set up from Townsend. Just love it ⚽️⚽️⚽️

Great result - totally unexpected for me - and one that just about keeps our slim chance of survival alive.

I think that KM has finally found our best defensive lineup - please, no more tinkering, if the 4 are available then they should start.

Hes starting to learn (Delap) isnt he! I just wish he'd stay another season with us and get better under McKenna's coaching team / Him . Going to a big club to sit on their bench ( which he will) Is always the best thing to do ... Hes still so very raw ...

McKenna MUST keep this team now and stop tinkering !

Unable to post reaction before just been too busy however that were a score many didn't see coming. Perhaps the opposition weren't at their best, caught them on an off day etc but take nothing away the team went there dug in and procured not only an effective performance but were value for the win. That's like three times as many victories away from Portman Road than at it this season which is in itself a bizarre statistic but you can only focus on what's ahead and what's required to save it.

There was an article someplace that Portman Road is going to be used sometime soon to stage other sport contests including wrestling and boxing. Guess if we can't win at soccer there they may as well use it for something different. All told we made a difficult trip to an improving club name in Bournemouth AFC, played with desire and ambition and took a value victory from it. It's just a shame our away form excels our own home results but with this at least we provided ourselves that extra chance of avoiding a fall back into lower league.

I was sure this was going to be a dull draw. I'm delighted to have been wrong.

As much as I’d love to 9 my time in Augusta is pretty much mapped out for me at the golf course and I won’t be driving either as we’re being picked up from our hotel. I guess also with a corporate invite with lunch / drinks included it’s unlikely I’ll be going anywhere in the evenings and I have an early flight on Saturday morning back to Spain. It seemed like a good idea at the time but realistically the logistics are imposible given I’m a guest who’s being treated to a special occasion. I’m sure we can find a Charity to give 10$ to but given to my experience of prices over here today it won’t go far. Maybe you should just give it to the next homeless person you see to buy a coffee or an ice cream.

Or? Please tell me you meant "AND" ? A coffee and an ice cream for 10 bucks. Surely that sounds about right? :shock:

You’re joking Marko, last night I paid 8 bucks each + taxes + tip per single scoop of ice cream in a tub ( no cone). Five of us, more than 50 bucks. Coffee prices here are no different to ice cream and you certainly wouldn’t get both for 10 bucks whereas in Spain I’d get both for 5€. The cost of stuff here is crazy, and that’s before Trumps tariffs.
