Does anyone know if there are any events/meetups have been lined up?

I'm going to Tokyo tomorrow and staying with family, apparently general stuff is much cheaper now with the weaker Yen, it's almost 200 to the pound now. Obvs still expect to be paying £7-9 quid for a pint and the like but it's meant to be not so bad at the moment for good, shopping and stuff.

Having said that l, I remember it as pretty expensive last time I was there 10 years ago or so, but I'm in Hong Kong atm so it probably is cheap in comparison!

Local beer is the same price as UK, Yeah £9 for a craft beer is top end.

Can add Leonard to the likely to be sold or loaned list.

Bemused by Pedro's omission but pleased to see Sima in the squad, suggests they haven't decided what to do with him yet.

Edit: Kozlowski another likely departure; Mazilu not on the list either but probably going out on loan.

I feel I should post about Ramen bar etiquette. You enter and you will usually find a vending machine with pictures of today's offerings. Pay and collect ticket, and then take your seat. Eat, enjoy and depart promptly. They don't do lounging around, particularly if there is a queue outside. Around £10 a portion in local place, want more meat or noodles? you will have that option.

Translation apps work very well in Japan, though English is widely spoken in the big cities. (Not once you get outside.)

Western-style restaurants charge the earth. One City I visited had a big notice in English 'Don't like my price don't come in' (£60 for a steak dinner) Over the road the student diner made us welcome with Beef Noodles at £6 a bowl made from the same stuff.

If travelling on a train Bento boxes can be ordered for the journey (£10) with a little bit of everything, don't do what Junior did his chicken was snail. (Double bubble for me). If you are struggling money wise 7/11's have no end of goodies you can take back to your room. Some even have microwaves and kettles, so you can prepare your food for a street eat.

Some local restaurants, behind the curtains style, simply don't do foreigners and will tell you curtly to leave. Don't get upset it's their way.

Don't set foot in a Pachinko parlour, you can lose a lot of money.

Two of my friends who worked there in the 80's ended up with Japanese brides.

No, from his Instagram he's still on holiday. But Scotland exited the Euros at the same time as Poland, and Billy is already back.

if he has a rib problem then it depends on whether its bruised or broken so estimating recovery time will be largely guess work - but its likely weeks not months. Everton (A) is 4 weeks away. And i guess this was detected/happened (in training ? ) up to a week ago ...

He definitely thought he was going to Japan two weeks ago.

Yes, I think it's the clearest indication yet that Moder will move on

Moder got married on 29th May, and had joined up with the Poland squad by 3rd June.

Hopefully he's being allowed time off for a honeymoon.
