I'm pretty sure that is becuase it's only the Eurostar service which is specific- the onward journey is valid for any service except the ICE and Thalys services which are other international services. I've just booked a train+hotel package and it comes up with 'Brussels' but the hotel I've booked is in Bruges as part of the same deal, so I'm assuming the website books the trains correctly! With your Eurostar ticket you can get on any connecting service, doesn't matter which. I done it last year when I went to Brugge via Eurostar. It's about 30 min on the train from Brussels

Bordeaux flights from London are £99 return with BA.

Newcastle to London East Coast £55.60 London to Brussels Eurostar £40.50 Brussels to Brugge £free with Eurostar ticket Brussels to London Eurostar £40.50 London to Newcastle £26.80 That's what I'm looking at, that's returning on the 10th for some "sight seeing" time.

Class, what's liverpools group?

He's enthusiastic and is a big lad for his age but i'm still not convinced he'll make it as a premier league player. Exactly this, really need to progress over the next year if he is to succeed.

Fair enough. The deal is done so to NUFC it's irrelevant. However I've been on this site for near on 5 years and never posted a ITK. Take it as you will.

Go home http://www.glory-glory.co.uk/ Totally lost with that link, I have never posted as ITK and wouldn't unless I was told up front as I have been. Take it as you will but we were on the table but wouldn't be considered because of the deal we dealt.

I am ITK, the deal is worth 22M if a full transfer goes through at the end of it this excludes wages. West Ham pick that up.

There was little chance of Joe Cole going mental, hijacking the jet and crashing it into a load of locals. Such a better reply

Because Joe Cole chose not to travel with a SSN presenter, David Craig.

I wonder how many fans left at half time.... http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/aug/29/romanian-club-beaten-31-0 Cash-strapped Romanian club thrashed 31-0 by lower-league team • Young CS Buftea team were 12-0 down at half-time • Second division club had rested most of its first team A cash-strapped Romanian second division side, CS Buftea, paid the price for fielding a side of teenagers when they were thumped 31-0 by the third-tier ACS Berceni in a Romanian cup match. Buftea celebrated promotion to the second division in May, but a team containing predominantly under-19 players were on the wrong end of an avalanche of goals in the fourth preliminary round match. Buftea, located 20km north-west of capital Bucharest, had hoped to improve after a tough first half in which they conceded 12 goals – but after half-time they let in another 19. Local media reported the loss as a record defeat in Romanian football. The victorious ACS Berceni president Stephen Stana said the experience had left him feeling uncomfortable. "I'm ashamed to tell you the score. But it's not our fault that they disregarded the competition."

Bla, bla, bla time will tell how this deal pans out, ill judge when the transfer window slams shut.

You didnt mind Liverpool till then, bloody hell didnt you ever hear the Liverpool Rap

Just seen the Villa highlights, I can see them being relegated this year if they aren't careful.

Not a great performance but we have been beaten by the European Champions who coincidently have just spent 80 million quid. No shame really and who would have argued with 3 points from our first two games.

Our scouting network have found/signed far, far better players for far, far less money. I can only assume they've had little say in this deal as it's very unlike us to spend so much money on a player who has played badly for 18 months. How many of us even wanted him back before it became a possibility? If we'd offered £12million for him after we'd beaten them 2-0, Trim Mike would have been laughed out of town. I just can't see these guys spending 12m for the lols. There is a great player still in there, imo. There is a good player in Carroll although i think that we will have to be patient to get him back if he did sign. He has seemed to become a much leaner player at LFC and imo that has cost him, his strength is what helped him win headers at NUFC and from what i've seen of his LFC/England displays i do think he has lost a bit of that. What does concern me is that were all saying that SAFC has paid over the odds for a average striker in Fletcher £12-15m for a 10-15 goal striker, i cant help but feel like were doing the same. Playing the style of football that we do now i just cant see Carroll scoring 20 plus goals a year, Carroll has more potential then Fletcher but i bet Fletcher doesn't have AC's baggage or his wages. TBH i'd rather spend the money elsewhere.

Saw Steve Howey at Wetherby Services yesterday, hasn't aged well.

David Platt showing he can still do it.

Gonna stick this in here, not sure how much to believe it but can't see why a Forest fan would lie about it. Reckons AC is a done deal. "Been told by a fairly reliable source (uni geordie housemate, who's best mate knows Andy personally) that Carroll is all but a Newcastle player. Still 4/5 on sky bet. Been reliable on stuff in the past. Made a packet on Nolan to West Ham. It was his group of friends that asked sky bet to even open the market on it. Piled on at 20/1." http://www.forestforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=31479&page=15

Forest have been taken over by a Rich family from kuwait.

Yeah, it's all part of the plan. We've already seen quite a few Geordies down here, why the fuck all the lasses from Liverpool are walking round with curlers in their hair I'll never know.

Where you travelling from? He hasn't replied, must have logged off and went straight out the door! I pretty much did to be fair, travelled from Wallsend.
