Marseille shouldn't profit when they're clearly tapping him up

Yeah mate Gilligans. Did you do green Island or Fraser Island m, want to book one of them this week? Both look amazing. Green island smaller and busier?!
Fraser Island isn't at Cairns it's about a 10-12 coach journey south.
But I done Fraser and it's probably the best place I've been to in Australia.
Gilligans is mental, you will love it.

My stereotypical view of you @Large would be that you're out in Essex somewhere, how'd you end up working for the Bees?

He did but had Grey stayed then I know Odubajo would had to.
Remember Gray leaving and Odubajo congratulating him as if leaving us for someone "bigger" was the goal, don't think he'd of been so open about that if he were staying.

These two sales had nothing to do with length of contracts the club could offer or whether they could be afforded They were made because of FFP.
Odubajo was made because we had a release clause in his contract but you're right, even after selling Gray we still hadn't cleared FFP hence having to sell more. I don't think people realise how overbudget we were in our first season.

Around the promotion places? That's ambitious. I can't see Brentford doing it. It's all very well signing those key players on long term contracts, but if attractive or financially better off teams go in for those players the contracts won't be worth the paper they're written on,they'll just assure you of a better fee. If a player really wants to leave they invariably do, and it's not always because they're unhappy sometimes it's because they'll simply earn far more elsewhere.
I like the manager (Villa fan), any any team who can get on a run has a chance for play-offs but top two is incredibly difficult and I don't think you'll be consistent enough.
Yeah youll always lose your best player if a bigger clubs wants him, but it wasn't just that one player we lost. Alongside Andre Gray we then lost Douglas, Diagouraga, Dallas, Pritchard (loan), Odubajo and Tarkowski. That's 7 players who were all fairly key players for us, we didn't lose them because big money was thrown around in transfers, we lost them because they weren't signing new contracts and we could only previously afford to keep them on 3 year deals, often only extending by 1 or 2 years. Tarks and Pritchard were different as Tarkowski refused to play for us once Burnley got involved and Pritchard was just on loan, but the point is we now have most of our players on 4-5 year deals with extensions thrown in there as opposed to just a 2-3 year deal. So if we are going to lose Sergi Canos or Ryan Woods we'll either be in a position to say no or demand top dollar as opposed to just taking something rather than nothing.
Currently we have the best winger in the league, if we keep him he'll score a shitload and if we sell him we'll make a shitload and bring in someone who can make a similar impact on a long term contract. We're still waiting on Alan Judge to come back and that's not mentioning the likes of Canos, Jozefzoon and Vibe too.

Dembele has proven he's ready for the PL with his goals in the Championship and at Celtic. He does look a good talent and did before he joined Celtic, but asking him to replicate Lukakus goals maybe something else completely.

Go NZ, mate. Only time I'll say that in my life bit it is a smaller nation and you can see more of it; whereas you won't be able to, escape Sydney as it is so expansive. You'll get more chance to experience Maori culture than Murri culture if your into that sorta thing
You can easily save $200-400 a week in Sydney..

So you really liked the place. Would you consider living there?
Yes mate, Sydney is a great city and if you like city life and beaches it's the place to go in Australia.

As some of you may or may not be aware over a month ago I flew back from Australia with my girlfriend as her dad passed away, after being back a month and a half we have finally booked our tickets back out to Australia, leaving again on the 6th July, just over two weeks.
I cannot wait.

I feel like NZ are a lot more accepting of the Maori in their culture and treat the Maori as the core of their culture as opposed to Australia who've done quite the opposite.

Rome was absolutely incredible as a city, never been anywhere with such beauty continuously. Puts a city like London, which I love, well in the shade. Will definitely go back, maybe in a cooler month as the heat did make getting around difficult at the peak of the day, hopefully include Florence too.
Hoping to get to Berlin towards the end of the year.
I thought Rome ruined Europe for me at the time, such an amazing city and I'm definitely going to go back with the missus instead of my mates this time.
But went to Paris with the missus and that was something else, you don't realise what you've got on your doorstep in Europe.

Just booked a cheeky solo trip to the far north east of Australia (Cairns). Pretty excited, 5/6 days in July to jump out of a plane, go for a cheeky snorkle/great barrier reef and stay at a backpackers to be a naughty boy.
Loved Cairns, spent two months there. You'll be completely surrounded by backpackers haha

Honestly I think I had one of the best days ever attending a sporting event when I went to Manly to watch the Sea Eagles. Day at the beach, a schooner on the beach, couple of beers and chips on the hill and a close game against Melbourne.

God don't I miss the NRL

Throughout my childhood and teenage years I can barely remember a game against Scotland. So it's not this big rivalry played every other year that we focus on.
Scotland will always be a big game and the biggest simply because it is. It's England Scotland, national rivalry at its best. But to say it's the reason we're so shit is false. I felt pure embarrassment that we drew with you and that we weren't even dominating you and most people I know do too, but an equaliser is still an equaliser against one of our biggest rivals.
We only really have two being Scotland and France and France show us most times how to play football, so for whatever gratification we get from beating you we get spanked a lot more regularly by one of our biggest rivals.

I got a boat out which took about an hour or so I think...not sure but I don't think you could just paddle out. You'd also want to do it under guidance as the boats look out for shark too
