2017 Football Summer Transfer Thread - Page 194 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

Would it be safe to say that Paris is the more polarizing city? I think most people would rate London as good to great, but it seems like Paris is a city that some people hate, and some people absolutely love it (I'm in the latter).

Not that they should be taken too seriously, but on the city-data forums they do a lot of city vs. city polls and the 3 I saw had Paris > London (53.4%, 440 votes), Paris = London (150 votes), and Paris > NYC > London (35.56% of ~550 votes). So at least among supposedly seasoned travelers, Paris is the clear winner.

550 out of the millions of travellers to each city per year. Lock this one up.

I've always liked going to France. And while I don't speak French fluently, I've never had an attitude issue as long as I make the tiniest of efforts to speak French.

I assume that there is heaps of snickering going on after I leave, of course.

Still thinking of taking the family to a trip to the Loire Valley next spring

Never visited those castles on the Loire and that's probably the biggest lolme.

Sugar's way is better. If he says premier club du monde, they'll assume he means QSG and it will endear him to the parisiens.

Rumoured by The Mirror that the Silva 14 second saga has been sorted, and we'll be signing him sooner rather than later.

I'm guessing FIFA saw yesterday's performance against Huddersfield and realised how desperately we need him...
