So shit, nothing they do is designed to stop trouble - they just create scenarios where at some point they will be able to smash someone with a baton.

Nabil Bentaleb There's a fairly big park in the centre, the Retiro, but I'm pretty sure it closes its gates at night when the terrazas close around ten or eleven. It's bound to have police and /or security guards too.
You're far better heading out to the Casa de Campo, the old royal hunting ground, which is almost open country. Take the Metro to Lago, which is just two stops on Line 10 from Plaza España or Batán, three stops, and walk into the darkness...
Seen a few of you are going via Barcelona. Anyone staying there Thursday night? Thinking of organising a little meet up of spurs fans.
Because they don't want people to travel without tickets. They're for those that are going to the game, and they want you to fuck off to the stadium by 6pm.
Of course, plenty of people won't be doing what UEFA want because UEFA are totally detached from reality
Take in a bit if culture - the Prado is a great start; they have some awesome art; the Garden of Earthly Delights by Bosch being one; which is where I hope to be spending my Saturday evening, although I've never heard Seven Sisters Road called that before!
As per another post I made on another thread.... I bought my flights via eBay. As it turns out we arrive lunchtime Saturday and fly out first thing Sunday.
But in and around this I nearly purchased a hotel reservation also via eBay when I was looking at going longer. I found a seller who had a twin room for £90 a night ( 2 nights ) and wanted £85 on top to change the reservation name - you paid the hotel on check in, you paid him the £85. So would have been £265 for two people sharing. That was very tempting.
I checked it out and it seemed legit, but by jumping on a scousers heavy plane from Manchester I saved the need for any hotel ( I might regret that )
I noticed the reservation is still available.
I won’t cut any link to the hotel reservation ad ( or flights) as it’s always buyer beware and I am not endorsing anyone and no matter how you view it marking up a booking is a bit naughty.....
however, if your stuck and if you can verify the seller and your careful then anyone without a hotel might have a result on the secondary market.
So excited to be going next week. Amazed I am still alive and getting to be a part of this. Oh god. If we win....... oh god if we don’t.....
One thing I do know. I have fallen in love with Spurs all over again of late.

Told the missus. She doesn’t seem it but I think she’s happy for me to go there.
I live in a small village 30 miles from town and work from home so haven't been into the city.
All quiet here
Please change your username to "Bill 30 miles outside of Madrid", it's too confusing as it is.
