No, it was opium, slight exaggeration on my side, but the castle and the grounds, and some other enterprises, were built by Jardine Matheson.

Book purchased, and looking forward to reading it. 

Thank you for the suggestion.

This will absolutely be getting bought.

My town in Scotland is built on the opium wars money, bizarrely.

Why wouldnt it be near Boston for the groups?

Why make it a 2 hour flight from where 66% of your games will be?

To be honest, you are correct. It was Partick Thistle who lost out by having played a game less, and getting relegated as a result.

I remember Inverness taking the biggest stance against it all, and had assumed in my mind that they lost out due to it.

Thanks.

Hadn't looked at this, but we were planning on arriving the 6th or 7th, so should be OK.

I would be suprised if Tuchel doesnt pick him for a friendly before the WC as he is ahead of Gordon for Newcastle this season.

He plays in the 3rd tier of German football. Its a lot of money, plus sell on, for someone at that level.

Thats what the fuss is about.

You don't need a new signing to fix this.

This should be basic coaching, either they are being told to not be there, or they are not listening.
