My occasional travel partner Pat took most of these shots in either Kaiserslautern, Munich or Stuttgart. I'm particularly fond of the one of me preparing to attack my sausage and kraut breakfast in Munich after the overnight train trip. The large foosball table is also nice - there were loads of these all over Germany and they always seemed to be fully occupied with enthusiastic fans.There are also a couple shots of Allan and Pat at the Nuremberg rally site. Heavy stuff. Allan is the kind Scottish chap from Arizona who sold Ivar a ticket for USA/Ghana. That ticket enabled his girlfriend to attend the very first soccer match of her life. Danke, Allan!
OK - here's the link:

While I have a moment, allow me to weigh in on the Ashley Cole affair. It'll be done soon, and he'll be a Chelsea player. That's fine with me. He's already made it clear that he doesn't want to stay in North London, so we don't want him either. How he could claim the Arsenal managment hung him out to dry after he met with Chelsea's biggies illegally is beyond me. He needs to go now so we can work on team chemistry for the start of the season. Our first Champions League match is fast approaching, and if we play Ashley, he'll be tied and won't be able to show for Chelsea in the Champions League. Hence, expect a resolution soon. I'm eager to see how much we can fetch for him. 20 million? 25? It'll be a hefty sum and Arsene will use it well.

Ashley Cole really irritates me - He is one of the best, if not the best, left back in the world. That gives him leverage to make a lot of money and generally play at whatever club he wants. But should it allow him to be a cancer on his current club, Arsenal? This is the club that helped develop him to this point in his career. This is the club that pays him a ton of dough already.
Cole is so into glitz and flash and not that into living by any "rules" that the Chelsea tapping up scandal was so unsurprising. Now that Arsenal no longer rule the prem, of course Cole wants to be involved with the new, coolest bad-ass club in the Prem and with the latest "it" head coach (who might well have similar integrity issues as Cole).
Agreed - scroll down to the photo of him and his wife in the "Oh Ashley" post from last month:
