Read a few on holiday earlier this month. Standout was "Farewell Kabul" by Christina Lamb. Not an easy read, concentration required, but amazing insight into the conflict in Afghanistan and the way that Pakistan exploit the economic aid made available to them by the Americans and the UK. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Farewell-Kabul-Ignored-Pakistan-Afghanistan/dp/0007256949/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1467052948&sr=8-1&keywords=farewell+kabul Also been reading more "Nordic Noir" and discovered Jussi Adler- Olsen and the Department Q series. Enjoyed book number one in the series, absolutley loved book number 2. Right now however reading this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Nomad-Explosive-Thriller-Youll-Rubicon/dp/1785760416/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1467053198&sr=8-1&keywords=nomad+james+swallow Supposed to be ideal for fans of "I Am Pilgrim" by Terry Hayes (Manc & ED take note). About 40% in and starting to get going. Will give you a more detailed recommendation once I'm finished.

Real team spirit about the Italians. Thoroughly deserved victory over Spain Would appear that the Spaniards now enter a period of rebuilding, as their glory days appear to be fading

i would apply that logic

A Stokes has signed up to the cause. Welcome on board

£9.99 per month. No contract

Anthony O'Connor signed on a two year deal.

Doubtful for first Euro tie. Picked up knock against TNS earlier in the week and only kasted twenty five minutes against Hearts yesterday

Rangers No fucking chance, couldn't afford him !

Would be good move for Smith. Needs first team game time. Make or break season for him as looks to be stuck in a rut at Pittodrie

Certainly could have been an awful lot worse. Was convinced we'd get either Hadjuk Split or Macavi Tel Aviv in 2nd qualifer

FK Ventspils or Vikingur

Latvia or Faro Islands it is then

Hadjuk Split anyone ?

To clarify that, apparently they entered at the 2nd round and immediately got knocked out

Fola Esch reached 2nd qualifying round of Champions League last season

Luxemburg it is then

If anyone has some free time around midday UK time here is the link to the draw. http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/news/newsid=2379000.html#watch+europa+league+draws+monday

Can't imagine it would make much of a dent in the infamous £30m

Fucking bottling Croatian pricks. Today's treble of Italy, Croatia & Spain was looking good until these pricks threw it away.

Paddy Power offering new customers enhanced odds of 16/1 on Wales victory today. Max bet £10.

So Connor Salmon was never offered a contract by McInnes. Straight from the horses mouth in an interview. Puts paid to the journalists reporting that Hearts beat us to his signature !

The thing with Rodgers is where does he go ? Does he go back to Falkirk ? Not sure what that would achieve as he has already proved he can play at that level. Could a SPL team fancy taking him on loan ?

Heard this earlier but wasn't confirmed. Could Alexander double up as goalkeeping coach and punt Marshall ?

Hence the one year deal Manc. Can't imagine he is on a high wage and patently signed as back up. Sure we all agree in hoping he proves himself and makes us eat our words.
