    Would be slightly daft if he didn't fly out and train tomorrow/Friday and got maybe half an hour Saturday 
    It’s the team bonding he needs to be involved with as much as the actual training sessions.

    Modern football has obviously moved on or they’re deliberately not showing it but where’s the gruelling fitness work ? Looks like a holiday camp - flicking balls about, riding bikes - wanna see some doggies, hill runs and spewing up

    They did the mega run last week and they’re doing double sessions every day in Slovenia

    Hearing Kaheim and his Patois when he's explaining how no-one back home would know what "Wellies" are in a shop has tickled me.

    They’re not showing it. Please rest assured they’re busting their fucking humps out there. It’s the literal base NJ builds his season plans on

    Posted much earlier than yesterday. Must be the bonding night tonight where they go out for a meal and have to sing to eachother on a chair in the hotel 
    Or out the way so they can potentially announce Apter at 7?
    Medical today, followed by pictures at The Valley, fly out this evening, announced tomorrow is my guess. 
    He won’t be going to join the squad .. he will be working at sparrows lane for next two days 
    How do you know this?
    He doesn't.

    If you saw the YouTube video of day 2, they’re playing a small sided game with 3 sides. 2 are playing and the third are doing runs. 

    As soon as the runs are finished they’re straight back in to a game. 

    Trust me that burns!

    Someone needs to use AI to edit Luke Berry’s face on McCauley Culkins:

    Miles has put a pic on his instagram story of some of the team playing uno and TC is flexing in his Jamaica national team gear, probably forgot that half the team own it too

    He was on the pitch at Wembley wasn't he? 

    Only other thing I can think of is he's still injured, apparently that was the case at the back end of last season too.
    I do think it's interesting that he only made 19 league appearances and then had an 18 year old coming on ahead of him in key games where we could have nicked 2nd and in the Play-offs. Appearance payments are pretty common and 20 would make sense as a trigger. If that's the case then I imagine we'll never see him again in the league under any circumstances

    Phoenix Valentine has the best name in the squad.




    Phoenix Valentine is a great name for the next TV detective.
    The Pub Landlord prefers Edward Thomas !

    The difference was the majority of players had been on the piss for 6 weeks and were a tad overweight after the midnight take aways back in the day.
    Most modern players does lose fitness or put on weight because of the diets and fitness routines even they do when having a month off from Sparrows lane.
    Sports science is drummed into players now.
  • I know he was there, but it’s odd not seeing Godden on the pre season training videos

    It's similar to Aneke last year, whatever work they did on him was pretty successful

    Not many smiling faces on Day 3.....and still Nathan playing The Invisible Man. 

    Maybe he's on a sun bed in the Maldives B)

    Love watching these lads. Can't wait to cheer them onwards & upwards again.

    People so desperate to be in the know they have to resort to making up bollocks or tell you what Nathan thinks is best 🤣

    Think we all know Ronnie copies stuff from elsewhere or just makes it up...for me though the main issue is that he always posts using a style that states whatever as absolute fact like he is either completely ITK or has the information as a definite fact.  If he said things like "In my opinion he won’t be going to join the squad .. he will probably be working at sparrows lane for next two days" then I think people would just move on or agree with it...but then I guess he won't get the attention that he obviously craves.

    I’m loving that his nickname seems to be “Head-ward”
