As requested, I will be in attendance this week at The Palmetto Cup! I was quite dejected by the matches in the Champions League this week. I was looking so forward to watching Harry be the first English manager since Sir Bobby Robson to lead a team to the final. Nevertheless, here we stand, and I'm excited about my holiday to the states! I booked a hotel over on a place called Decker Boulevard and hope that will be adequate housing for my stay in Columbia. I packed shirts with actual sleeves so I surely hope that TugJobber's description of the Palmetto Cup faithful is not accurate. I would be surely overdressed!
Always lovely to be invited to South Carolina in April. I'd especially like to thank those cheeky fellows the Heise brothers for arranging my stay!
Congrats to you wackaflockamyers on your Champions League victory this week! Good luck in the Classico at weekend. I saw your miscellaneous questions and have been pondering for some time now the answers that you seek. Let me try and address them now.
1. 115x57? Is the tournament 9v9? This should be interesting.
2. I assure you the days where I partied with Noel and Liam Gallagher, Adrien Mutu, and Kate Moss are well behind me.
3. I have heard of the FAWGs. Lovely group with a real taste for class. Not sure what their name means exactly They've even sent me a few PMs and asked my opinion on certain things such as World Trade or the legacy of Gabriel Batistuta.
4. You are a growing country and a country that is growing. Portliness is what I've come to expect in the States but it's increasingly obvious that some of you yanks don't own a mirror.
5. Doubtful.
6. I personally can't blame them for heading to Canada. I would advise them to not seek Canadian medical attention while they are there. Their stay could be extended quite a bit.
7. Define "terrible". I am used to many beautiful pitches as well as many pitches that could use proper maintenance and a sprig of love. The JJB comes to mind as one that is dreadful year in and year out. I can assure you that a field in that condition would not look fancy after a serious tournament such as the one in this schedule.
8. Not sure who you mean but it's doubtful the bbc sports anchors could compare.
9. Haircuts? Fashion is one of my many fortes. I'll be able to let you know that for sure at the Cup!
10. I have heard of this Cock N Bull Pub. I think I shall personally try it out. Good waitresses?
