Not sure how old your bairns are, but if they're in single figures then they might enjoy the dinosaur trail around the city at the moment... if the weather's nice then it's a good city to walk around, loads of historic buildings and stuff: https://www.break-charity.org/map-trail-faqs/ You could probably tick off most of them in a couple of hours, and see the castle, cathedral and Elm Hill (famous medieval street) while you're at it: https://www.break-charity.org/media/yrmpbjzs/ggdm-0037-0621-break-gogodis-digital-trail-map-v2.pdf (the train station is in the bottom right). I predicted 3-1 Liverpool... we've had a ton of players out with Covid, and had to cancel two pre-season friendlies... lost 3-0 at Newcastle last weekend, so we're hardly in ideal shape despite our good work in the transfer market. Realistically, we just want to be competitive... although last time the odds were stacked this much against us, we beat Man City 3-2... just sayin' 🙂 I watched the highlights of our 1 nil defeat v Liverpool 2 seasons ago and it was a game we could have drawn. Many games in that season we lost by the odd goal, plus we had many defensive injuries early on, so I do feel we have a chance to escape the drop this time round. It is far too early to gauge our strengths as our new players need to adjust and bed in. Certainly everyone seems to have us finishing 20th, and if we do, I know it won't be for the lack of recruitment and effort. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
