TBH Biggish the Chelsea thing, going to games and mates is the only thing I'd miss from this country!

Sad to hear that coming from someone who put his life on the line for the country <sad>

The last 3.5 years have taught me a lot about this country Biggish. That it's not really my country any longer and it's more of a divided country than I believed.

The whole Brexit thing has shown up how little the normal working person in the street is valued or opinion respected.

I became sick and tired of being labelled a thick, racist zenophobe because I voted a certain way. I don't feel as if this is my home any longer although I still love England and the UK.

Yes, that period has been tough and divisive. Social media has changed the ways people debate and behave too though, for the worst

Take the plunge then Brummie, it's not as hard as you think .

I'd love to harle, my eldest daughter has made her life down there and just passed her citizenship test and I'm hoping my youngest daughter falls in love with the place as much as her sister and follows in her siblings footsteps (She actually loved it in Melbourne).

Alsa for myself, I've left it too late as you need to have qualified for a work Visa by the age of 50!

Their are ways to get around these things Brummie,put yourself around when you get over there,and speak to your daughter and her friends,you never know !

Tried last time I was there harle. Even booked an appointment with a solicitor that secialised in immigration and there's not much way to get round it.

There are parent sponsored visas but they're very expensive.

Best bet is a mega win on the lottery!

The old 1970s badge - old traditions!

Apparently we play in that kit in our FA cup games.

That would be good, nice if we could wear it for the whole FA Cup run.

I've actually got that 1970 shirt in my collection but with the badge in white with FA Cup on it!

Anyone fee like like Spurs somehow stole our mojo when Mourinho went to Spurs ? Our results tanked since precisely then. We need to steel it back this weekend

I think it's more of a natural dip that I've expected with the number of inexperienced kids in the squad.

I think we've probably over achieved so far this season and it's raised the expectations for so many that don't understand that and think we should be performing to that level all the time.

For my perspective, if you'd have offered me the position we're in now, before the season, I'd have taken it. I'm more excited to see how these lads develop and perform over the next few seasons.

I still think we'll get overhauled for top four this season but if we do hang on to it, it'll be a bonus for me personally!

Agree with all of that Brum

But there's no denying the extreme coincidence of us going from an near all winning run to a near all losing run as soon as Jose went to Spurs
