Sound mate, i thought i was going round the bend
Either very nice area mate i loved my time out there, Can you swap from one side to the quite easy these days?
Yeah, it's surprisingly easy. I didn't know it was possible (I'd envisioned some kind of North/South Korea DMZ!) until I visited a friend who told me her and her husband do it quite often. You need your passport, and it can also be difficult if you have a hire-car (depends on the company you've hired from, and your insurance).
Initially we wanted to go across simply so that we could say that we did it, but ended up going more often because it's far less Anglicised (no tacky bars blasting out the Macarena) and the beaches/mountains were generally less spoiled. The villages and towns did seem a little more impoverished, however, but we only stayed close to the border each time. My grandparents went a few years back, stayed in places like Nicosia and Famagusta, and said it was really nice.
"Although I am pretty sure Capello is not a fan but the (at the time) national manager."
No I know, a few fans reiterated it as well. Whoever it came from, it was still a bit over the top!
I don't really know any United fans that seriously made the comparison... at least in terms of talent... on here...
My real life friends are probably a bit young to have watched him play but I didn't hear any of them make the comparison either...
There were a few on here Arab (potentially the old 606, can't remember when this place started) as I remember arguing with them it was way too soon to make the comparison.
You know there are some posters on the united board that are capable of it, surely
