This has easliy been my best "holiday" in life so far. I'm sat in my hotel room and can barely comprehend all the events that've somehow taken place across what's not even three full days.

That was the plan Couldn't find anyone though

I think I unashamedly just started pulling my jacket out from under you at some point without even a "I think you're sitting on my jacket, could you move a bit?" and seem to recall you kinda just falling over to the side. If I did, then my apologies I think Branko saw me struggling at one point during the match, seem to recall him going "you okay mate?" and me barely registering the question. That's the fucking danger of alcohol, you keep on drinking because you feel it's barely even registering so why the hell not keep going at the same pace? Then fucking bam it's Goodnight, Vienna

you were the guy asleep on the sofa with a hoodie over his head? Had no chance seeing your face so sorry for not saying a proper hello. Had a similar scenario to KI last night. I'd downed about 5-6 pints of cider, some various drinks ranging from pornstar martini to frozen pina coladas before the match had started. Left at full time to drop some stuff off at the hotel, felt kinda ill, thought "I'll take a 30 minute nap" - then I open my eyes again and it's midnight

Went for a hotel as Ameritoon said, didn't want to have the airbnb host not get his place rented out due to me waiting to see if somebody wanted to split, then the first reply was my profile pic and nobody responded

x 2 Thinking of you and wishing you the best my man! Even if you're a filthy manipulating traitor

Around the time I lost my sanity in the Traitors thread

For real though, it's a massive pad Got another option lining up as well with a stocked bar.

You need to travel light to commit some international murder you know ??‍♂️

Looking like I have managed to snag a fancy and central airbnb. It's got two bedrooms more than I can fill alone, so PM me for details if you still need accomodation. Can divulge details in said PM, it'll no doubt be cheaper than anything else you'll find and higher standard.

Think this is actually bearing fruit.

Tried to see what I can shake loose on airbnb, sent some good old fashioned quid pro quo offers to properties on the nicer end of the scale. Should that not pan out I'll just go the usual route and pay full price like a common street urchin.

Once I sort accomodation I'll go for Oslo - Edinburgh, seems both easiest and most cost effective.

Both Oslo - Edinburgh - Train to Newcastle and Oslo - London - Train to Newcastle seem to come out at around the same cost. Now just need to look at lodging, on first glance the prices made my eyes bleed Feel like I arrived on the conclusion to travel just as the supply/demand level for rooms/airbnbs went out of whack.

Seen those, but don't want to waste so much on ticket prices. My days of being rich-rich to the level I won't care about ticket prices are hopefully (knock on wood) closing in on me, but not here quite yet

Cheers What are the prices on average for a train ticket from King's Cross to Newcastle? And how long does it take? Can't imagine it'd take more than 7 hours given how compact England is? A train from Oslo to Trondheim takes about 7 hours and I feel that distance is longer than London to Newcastle when looking at a map

If anyone more experienced with travel planning than me could try to figure out the easiest/cheapest route from Oslo to Newcastle and back, I'd be eternally grateful. No knowledge of train/bus systems in England and there's no direct Oslo - Newcastle flights. To make things easier I could travel with only hand luggage, with regards to changing planes. London having airports west, east, south and north of London just complicated matters and confused me as I could fly in to Gatwick but then would need to fly out of Stansted, but between those there's essentially a two hour £200 taxi drive which would be more expensive than the flight tickets themselves No issues with taking a bus or train from say Manchester, Bristol or even London if that's easier/cheaper and I make it up in time. Thinking I could arrive on Thurs/Fri and depart on late Mon or anytime Tuesday. Also, if anyone wants to split costs on hotel/airbnb I'd be open to that. Or if anyone have a spare couch. Only issue you'll get is my snoring as my C-PAP machine alone makes traveling without checked lyggage impossible, so ditching that for the weekend All that said, I might be in London and not Oslo on the Thurs/Fri, so any assistiance on cheapest/best travel/routes from there to Newcastle would also be appreciated.

I'll grab a spot as a super sub.

Everybody would have been over the moon finishing 8th if that was the option given before the season. We're now well over halfway through the season and in 4th place, nobody would be over the moon with going from 4th to 8th over the course of the rest of the season. It all depends from what point you start you expectation level, you can't erase the reality that we're 4th at the moment and only lost one league game this season. Ending up finishing 8th from this position would be a disappointment, whereas it would not have been a disappointment for our pre-season ambitions as fans - it would have been significant development from the season before. We've exceeded expectations massively though, which raises expectations.

I think we'll get 4th. The main competitors all are having shit seasons and on paper we're better than the other ones in the mix. Only real worry at this stage is Tottenham, but they blow hot and cold. 10 points on Chelsea with 48 points left to play for. Chelsea will need to close the season extremely strong/we have to finish extremely shit to mess up that gap. Both obviously possible scenarios, but from a purely statistical standpoint it's unlikely. If Liverpool win both games in hand, we have a 6 point gap. That is more scary and our match against them might be the deciding point. Lose it and I think it's a high likelyhood of them closing the gap, win it and I don't think they will. Get a draw and it'll be tight but think we'll manage to hold on. Tottenham, as said, blow hot and cold. I don't think they'll finish strongly, but then again there's no guarantee we will either. 538 says we have 44% likelyhood of qualifying, Tottenham 29%, Liverpool 20% and Chelsea 5%. I feel those are appropriate chances looking at the table and fixture list. My personal opinion and gut feeling says 7 out of 10 times we'd qualify based on the current standings.

Only real "hope" at this stage is that the hospitals are overrun and that notifying next of kin isn't top of their list of priorities. Other that I guess we all have to brace for sad news

Way to miss the point, he was saying he failed there. He didn't fail at Salzburg. Failing to absolutely stomp the league with Salzburg would be a failure. Kinda like Celtic in Scotland during the non-Rangers years.

68.09% win percentage at RB Salzburg and won the double two times in a row before he was poached by RB Leipzig, he wasn't sacked by RB Salzburg. Wouldn't say he failed the company job. If all his PL matches with Leeds were "one season", he'd have Leeds at 33 points with 6 matches to go. Wouldn't say people would say he was an outright failure if people looked at Leeds at that point of a season, just not outperforming expectations. Not saying their recent form in the PL hasn't been absolute shit and that it doesn't look like he'll turn it around, though. Just feel any manager, or person for that matter, should be attacked for their actual failures and not for fake failures that gets thrown on top of the real ones.

Sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe shit.
