Funnily enough our season went absolutely tits up after this trip last season.

All the players bonded in their hatred of Martinez. :coffee:

On the flipside, we've been away in the last three years under Martinez and the last two we came home and were still crap! Our form also dipped in the second half of the 2013-14 season too, arguably cost us 4th.

We got 30 points from the last 15 games that season, which is a pretty decent return

After we demolished Arsenal we had that run of 3 defeats in 4 which probably overshadows what was, as you say, a very decent return.

Reading this thread after a few days and it's the people who follow dave around the site commentating on everything that makes it harder to read than the mans opinions themselves, very sad. There are posters taking glee in the fact dave got mixed up with qpr and derby. Sad state of affairs. Might start a thread about who is daves biggest stalker, got a few like.

Agreed, this is by far the biggest problem. Who would you say is the worst culprit?

Can't make the claim without assigning the blame.

Who are Dave's biggest detractors @Blue Cheese ??

Gonna trust Koeman and the coaching staff on this one, obvs, but I just can't remember a time a Prem team has come back from warm weather training mid-season and looked that much better for it.

Agreed.

If anything, it seems totally illogical to go training in "warm weather" to come back and start playing again in the middle of winter.

But my biggest gripe is the timing of it.

It was the same in January two years ago.

It is rewarding failure.

This trip is only made possible because we failed to beat Leicester City at home in the Cup.

We have no football to look forward to this weekend because our players failed us but what ho......while we sit around missing our fix the players are all off soaking up the rays in Dubai
