(I've not been to either so can't comment). id say that year cologne is a better city than dortmund but having lived in cologne its not really good for me so I'll be staying in dortmund the only thing I would say about cologne is that a lot of people I work with that go there find it a strange city for drinking, they drink late, if you get back from the game and drink in the sun and then try and hit bars around say 8pm expecting the night to start to get lively you'll wonder why its a ghost town, the rest of the city will start coming out after midnight and then party until 7am, most people I speak to think its a boring city but its not its just 4 or 5 hours behind the English drinking habits and all shops in Germany are closed on Sundays, bars and restaurants will be open but all the shops will be shut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackbauer24 Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Tickets sorted. Flight sorted to Köln. Hotel in Köln. Apparently train to Dortmund isn't too tricky. So my first European away game, even if it is only a friendly! Taking the (adult) nephew so any tips for Köln/ Dortmund are appreciated! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackbauer24 Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Doing Friday to Monday, I'm a teacher and nephew has got holiday to use - made it more relaxed and cheaper with flights. Noted!! Haven't been to Germany in ten years and that was a driving/camping holiday so didn't drink on the two days I was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 All the shops and what have you will be shut on the Sunday, restaurants and bars are open I only really know cologne as my wife used to live there, was there last weekend, depends on where you're staying obviously, easy to find tourist bars are behind the dom / train station just round on the river by st martins church, the easiest to find party area is the Belgian quarter, I'm pretty sure it's aachenstrasse but if you walk from the Fred Perry shop over the big main road the bars start to pick up there, if you want somewhere a bit more cologne but still vibrant go get some Turkish food on venlostrasse, really busy area and you should try kebab while you're there, the Belgian quarter also has a few very good record shops the city is good, loads of little pockets everywhere, really vibrant but as I said before it starts late there, if you hit town say 6pm Friday night in the sunshine waiting for things to get lively you could find yourself waiting a long time Drink the kolsch, lots of it, try this if you see it too, other kolschs you can get around the country (and Sainsbury's) but this seems to be cologne only 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackbauer24 Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Staying at the Maritim Hotel which is fairly central I believe so should be a good base. Cheers for the info, suppose I should put this in Travel rather than the match thread though!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa87 Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 I’d really like to see: Emi Ned Konsa Pau Digne McGinn Onana Tielemans Rogers Bailey Watkins With Maatsen, Ramsey, JPB, Barkley, Cash, Carlos, Duran, Enzo, Buendia, Bogarde getting minutes. Squad depth looking much better this season. Get some much needed luck with injuries and we are good to go (apart from a much needed cb and potentially Felix!)

Tomaszk Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 (edited) Predicted team: Emi Cash, Konsa, Pau, Maatsen Bailey, Onana, Tielemans, McGinn Rogers, Watkins I hate McGinn on the left and I really hope he never plays there this season, including on Sat and at West Ham. I think Emery will want him in the team and it's the only place he can fit right now. I'd even rather he played up behind Ollie and Rogers was wide left.
