Some History of Girona: Big shout out to Wilfred the Hairy, would have loved to go out on the razz with him.
Girona is the capital city of the province of Girona in the autonomous community of Catalonia, Spain, at the confluence of the Ter, Onyar, Galligants, and Güell rivers. The city had an official population of 103,369 in 2020 but, the population of the Girona–Salt urban area is estimated to be about 156,400 (2020). Girona is also capital of the comarca of the Gironès and the vegueria of Girona. Since much of the old quarter of this ancient city has been preserved, Girona is a popular destination for tourists. The city is located 99 km (62 mi) northeast of Barcelona.
The first historical inhabitants in the region were Iberians; Girona is the ancient Gerunda,[4] a city of the Ausetani. Later, the Romans built a citadel there, which was given the name of Gerunda. The Visigoths ruled in Girona until it was conquered by the Moors in 715. Charlemagne reconquered it in 785 and made it one of the fourteen original counties of Catalonia. It was sacked by the Moors in 827, 842, 935, and 982. Wilfred the Hairy incorporated Girona into the County of Barcelona in 878.

“The Gesta comitum barcinonensium reported that “…[h]e was hairy in places not normally so in men…”

Anyway. Football!
Back to it in the Champs league tomorrow. A win here should enable early qualification and it would be a touch if we get that. Hopefully Slot goes a bit more ham with this one knowing we’ve had a week’s rest thanks to the storm on the wkend.
There’s been some heavy contract rumours today, with LFC putting some paper in front of Virg Trent and Salah. They’re probably wanting it all to be wrapped up before the new year when players can start talking to teams. Let’s hope this all finished amicably and we can just get on with playing and winning!
Jota and Ali back in training now so might see them within the next 2 weeks. Will need the fit going into the new year for sure so I hope Slot takes his time and gets it right first time.
Lets have it LADS!!
