Paid for £125 for x1 Centre Court Wimbledon, Men's Q'final day reserved seat. Took a punt as I hoped to see Federer at his peak and in the quarters – and before he retired. That plan worked out as I saw a flawless performance by the King, on his way to his final Wimbledon title (without dropping...

Exactly the same here. Dolphin trumps a Seagull any day really... I'm not aware of any other 'marine-based mammal' club nicknames or mascots in the Football League? (which makes it more unique – and great that dolphins have reappeared again off our shores in recent years). Also like the fact...

What really stands out is how many of these goals were the result of taking a really quick (unexpected) strike, rather than the temptation in the latter part of the season to faff about, take 2-3 more extra touches and try and walk it in. That's maybe a confidence thing, but it's really...

Yes absolutely. Need to erase the Bournemouth performance from my memory from last week... but I've not got great expectations put it that way. I wonder if revenge for the 6-1 will be in the player's minds?

What no Raymond Blanc? WTF.

Thought I'd be over it too. But 7 years on, it still deflates and irritates me that me we didn't clinch the title with three golden chances to do so. I hardly missed a match, home or away in that glorious promotion season – and was at Norwich, Bristol at home and Villa away (Stockdale / Grealish...

I think we should treat European qualification like it's Glastonbury – and have a fallow year... one year on, one year off, to let fans recover financially and repair damaged and affected relationships.

Thanks for posting. Decision for trying my 17 year old is made. And it looks like the odds of getting in for anyone who's regisistered is on the 'slim' side.

I think fan's intuition on these types of post-match interviews, press comments etc, is pretty good more often than not. Have to say it was a very uncomfortable watch seeing Adam Lallana so clearly flustered, rattled, upset – and so un-Adam Lallana like. This is a top pro who's won it all and...

I am in the same boat. My 17 year old lad with me. Do I chance it? If he gets turned away after queuing for +1 hour, that will be me also heading back with him to our place near Spanish Steps way whilst all my mates rave on. A dilemma.

Thanks. Yes it can be Passport or Driving License. I am pretty sure that a provisional is still a valid form of official ID and it does have a photo, which I guess is all they give a toss about.

I think I know the answer to this already... but I assume a provisional driving license is OK for match ID for my 17 year old son? I don't really want him taking his passport everywhere with him.

Excellent advice all round here. Especially the tip of being dropped off in a cab at 'ambush point central'! Think we'll get the bus both ways this time as we're so near shuttle bus depature point (cabbed it for Athens though and drank pre-match with a friendly AEK lot) but if the Moretti's are...

• No one got injured or sent off. • Barco looks great and Enciso / Fati got a run out. • I didn't go (had strong neg vibes about this game from the draw). • One can only hope the goalie rotation failed experiment is over for good. (Bart #1 for me and has been since September). • Don't have to go...

Yes. As long as you have a valid, up-to-date tax disc.

Arguably more fun + more adventure being forced to do it this way. Proper memorable.

Switched my acccommodation for five of us to the north part of the city (Spagna district, Spanish Steps etc.) and just south of Villa Borghese – where the buses may likely go from (thanks @Bozza). Villa Borghese is a beautiful park too. Worked out about £50 per person per night. Very happy...

Superb. Thanks @Bozza. Might switch my accomm from Vatican way then. (no 3rd century BC Olympic marble stadium this time next to the bus stop.. shame).

I guess no one has the inside track yet on where ticket collection will be and bus departures do they? Location worked a dream for me in Athens on this note (by luck).

Never had a problem myself detecting Thrushes sneaking up on me in the past – so this bodes well.
