If you're staying in a hotel then I recommend booking asap. Nearly everything in Lille gone for the week i want to stay there (granted there is a France game in between my two games)
Aye it's usually 9 months although they may hold on to see what group england are in.
The reason i went for northern France as you've got the choice of flying/driving/train etc, so should be piss easy.
Aye, there's a difference between losing your best players and actively hawking them round the league. Hopefully that'll change with a Pardewless club.
Thing is, unless you're Barca or Real Madrid then you're always liable to having your best players taken from you. I have no real issue with that. It's the fact that we've never re-invested the funds received that has always been the issue.
The start of the shitness can be pinpointed to Gravesen's tackle on Bernard in the April before the Partizan game. Everton immediately scored, then we played poorly in the remaining games that season and started the next year with the Partizan game.
Grim times.
The whole point of having a squad is so that you can change your team/formation depending on a number of factors, one of them being the strengths of the opposition.
For what it's worth, i'd give it to De Jong with Janmaat as vice captain.
Colo simply shouldn't be an automatic starter anymore, and therefore shouldn't be captain.
