I have been hassling Mrs Wz to go for a week in the sun and she's just announced that Croatia is where we are heading. So a win would be nice to get them in a good mood for when we arrive. I just need to find, book and pay for somewhere now :rolleyes:
Did a boys trip a couple of years ago. Fly to Dubrovnik, couple of vans hired, drove to Bosnia for rafting, Montenegro for a hike and then a long drive through Montenegro and Croatia, ending up back at Dubrovnik for a couple of days. Incredible scenery, lovely weather. Dubrovnik itself might as well be Venice but it’s a cracking place once you get a little off the beaten track.

Jonathan Pearce over-Italianising, pronouncing the Italian players' names like Nigella Lawson talks about pasta :lolol:
I don’t know why, but this is a MASSIVE bugbear of mine. Hear it in a fair few football podcasts.

I think it annoys me because they only do it with Italian or Spanish players - you never hear them put on a Japanese accent for Kaoru Mitoma or African for Sadio Mane. :lol:
