Todays game

[BNJ1878]

Not really a match report as played in a virtual sandstorm. I was stood at one end of the pitch facing the wind so not ideal viewing for the first half.

One thing of note despite being a friendly, nobody was slacking off. Game was played at full pace albeit against a team that are probably mid-champ level.

Robles virtually untested, the pen save by hewlet was again into the wind so when it reached him it was probably only trundling along.

Sven looks old, asked Lennon if he fancies China.

*Thats all*

....I understand Petrov was amongst the crowd.

He was, looking well too. Ambled off for a chat with Barry when he was subbed off at HT.

Can't believe they've just been sunning themselves on their jollies ffs Koeman OUT.

Players were looking forward to time down the beach this afternoon as they have the rest of the day off, absolutely gutted the weather is only good enough to sit in the hotel.

....my son worked out there for a couple of years and played footy. A number of his mates were watching and sent back favourable reports.

Bet it was Jagielka who gave the penalty away.

Barkley's looking lean isn't he?

Much more professional than last year.
Did he play for Dubai Irish? (Despite the name, hardly an Irishman in there!) Quite a few of them down there today.

Did you see Trevor Steven? He's just tweeted a picture of him and Dunc at the match.

..he did, Matey. A good set of lads. I watched a few games on visits and got drunk lots.
