Ferry booked, hotel booked, wife told!
Strangely ok about it, which is a worry. Am I missing something here?

Do you have a pool boy and/or a gardener?

I got that when I booked to go to Amsterdam, it left me feeling unnerved.

That's the way they roll.

Devious.

Moan incessantly about the things that don't need moaning about, but then totally oblivious about the things they should be concerned about.

"I won't have time to mow the lawn today" - HUGEFUCKING MELTDOWN

"I'm going on a stag do to Amsterdam, we'll be taking lots of drugs and doing lots of shagging" - NOTHING.

What’s John Terry up to at the end of July?

[cdbearsfan]

Isn't that usually about the time he goes to collect the Wimbledon Championship trophy?

[Brazilian Villain]

They're not going to allow him this year due to his association with Abramovich.

Cast your eyes on these numbers - minimum ticket prices and gate receipts (assuming a sell-out) for pre-season friendlies not involving Villa being played in  SE Asia - and they're all pretty well sold out!!

Liverpool v ManU Bangkok 51,000 capacity, £115. £5.87m

Spurs v K-League team in Seoul 60,000. £95.  £5.64m

Liverpool v Palace. Singapore  55,000. £88, £4.84Mm
Or you can pay £23 for a training session.

Local promoters set these games up - using the veil of some sort of "cup" or "trophy". They hire the venue, pay the teams to fly out, cover all their costs and screw the locals for the privilege of watching what is little more than an exhibition match involving fringe players, upcoming kids and a few first teamers to keep the punters happy

Makes you wonder how much we're being payed for the games in Oz?
