Okay, this is weird/bonkers/bananas etc, but the Bulgarian champions Ludogorets Razgrad seem to be convinced they are playing Everton at Goodison on August 2nd (20:00 local). They are flying out from Varna airport in 3 hours time (the flight is heading to Manchester, they are on a Carpatair charter - I've checked if the flight has been loaded, since the story seems so ludicrous, but it seems this is really happening). Anyone heard anything on your side? Bulgarian media are all over this.
 

I've got a good mate from Varna called Ivo. He's ace. He bought me an FC Varna top a couple of years ago.

That concludes today's edition of "Yes I know it's irrelevant but I wanted to talk about me".

lost 3-4 on aggregate with Dinamo Zagreb in Champions League 2nd qualifying round, Dinamo scored in 98th minute ;]
 
There was something on their website about ten minutes ago which seems to have disappeared. It basically said they were playing us on Thursday 8pm. Closed doors friendly - they've just been dumped out of the Champions League in the qualifying rounds by Dinamo Zagreb

If it's any consolation, up to last year neither had I. Ludogorets epitomize the Eastern European trend of a dubious "businessman" becoming the sugar daddy for a team from their hometown and are bound to vanish into the obscurity of the Bulgarian lower divisions within a couple of years. Still, at the moment they pay well and have assembled a squad of aging Bulgarian internationals and loads of foreigners of varying quality.

As for Levski, alongside Ludogorets and every other Bulgarian side, they got gloriously dumped out of Europe last week - something which may or may not be connected to the fact that the team sponsored by the dubious businessman got the title in their first season of top league football in their history.

Yes, there is something on their website, but it's in Bulgarian only, which is why I didn't link to it.

I once won a competition in the In-Shops in Kirkby to be driven around in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. It was 7 (n.b. It did not fly or go over water, I was slightly gutted)
