Good read, Paul.

I lived in Amsterdam for a couple of years back in the 90s and agree, the Dutch are very welcoming and friendly.

I recall there wasn't many of us but there was always a good showing of regular Bluenoses present for games in the pub.

If I went to the Netherlands, it wouldn't be to watch a football game, I'll tell you that.

Glad you had a good time there, Paul, and your report was as good as ever!

Lovely part of the world that, been cycling there and around. I'm intrigued by how Davy gets on because while some have given him rave reviews, I went to see Alkmaar in the league last September and the standard of Dutch football has really nosedived. It was really slow.

Paul – Pleased to read your thoughts on Gareth Barry who is my kind of footballer. I hope we see some more of him this season. What a signing he was – I wish he was 30.
