I used to work with Graeme Bailey. There is as much chance of Graeme Bailey breaking a big transfer story as there is of his home town Middlesbrough becoming Britain's No.1 tourist destination.

The Wetherspoons is good, plenty of ales to choose from. Best real ale pub is the Old Bell at the bottom of Montpellier Hill, the Blues Bar (near Slug & Lettuce) is great for live music every night (and real ale) (I like real ale). Good places for a meal - William & Victoria, Cardomom Black, Ali...

Best place to watch a match in the town centre is probably Muckles, I watched the derby in there the other week and there was plenty of support for City (from City fans and anti-United locals). You need to get there early for a good seat though, even though there's loads of TVs.

I live in Harrogate but don't know of any.

I was there, but I was outside throwing up the dodgy burger I'd eaten at lunchtime when they scored their winner. It's a terrible sound, spewing mixed with home fans celebrating.

Never thought he was particularly good, but I can see the thinking. Means we can rest key players before/after Champions League games.

Skybet have suspended betting on Parker to join City after a run of interesting bets. 33/1 into 4/1 and still being taken. Replacement for Vieira?

Reports on Twitter that Andres Sanchez has told a Brazilian magazine that Corinthians are withdrawing their offer, but will make a renewed bid in January. Seems City were right to be suspicious of their intentions....

Can't see any mention here of Tariq Panja's tweet that the naming deal is worth "more than £300m".

There must be a huge amount due to that group of players in loyalty bonuses since none of them has asked for a move. Plus there may also be an element of giving them an extra lump sum as an incentive to take significantly lower wages elsewhere, so that £55m figure is probably hugely optimistic...

Stevan Jovetic.

From Vijesti (Montenegro newspaper) - Doesn't look like it will cost the 7m Euro reported earlier... "It is true that Manchester City is interested to bring Stephen, who shall issue a decision in the batch con during the day. If Stefan accepts Manchester City, then the English club and Partizan...

Alan Nixon is Owen Coyle's mate. Either he's been tipped off with some good info, or he's been tipped off that Bolton want to sell and is helping to raise the price. Platt could easily have been there because we've got to play both teams yet.

Two of the best City games I have ever been to: City 3-2 Sunderland - Sunderland fans swamp Maine Road on the last day of the season. Stoke 3-1 City - 14,000 City fans take over the Victoria Ground on Boxing Day, often referred to on this forum as a great occasion despite the result. We're...

I'm going to Montenegro at the start of next month, flying to Dubrovnik and then heading south. I'm expecting the weather to be pretty good (20-25 degrees in the day, cooler at night) and the place to be fairly quiet, but that's the way I like it. Dubrovnik out of season is still a great place -...

Tim Moore - French Revolutions or Continental Drifter. Another travel writer, very funny. Never read any Bryson so can't compare.

If your bet is with Skybet, I'm pretty sure we're paying out on a loan on this one.

He's working from home and is baffled by the price! We haven't seen a bet on this market for ages.

I'm pretty sure we only run our transfer specials to keep you in beer money. TH's hints and tips have been good to you...

I answered your question! We (Skybet) have had significant interest in Bentley to join Villa, to the extent that we won't offer it.
