[Gregory2Smith1]

Wayne Rooney?

fair enough LOL

 

[Seagull on the wing]

At least he will be able to talk to Gully....Gully man....(OLD SAILORS KNOW....GULLY GULLY MAN....LIKE A STREET MAGICIAN....)

 

[Brixtaan]

If he injures his back he'll need a Cairo-practor.

Please don't drag my Khartoum masterpiece through the mud by associating it with this feeble effort. (even though Khartoum is in Sudan I've just realised)

Brilliant work Adam. He'll be the 2nd Egyptian international to ever grace the Amex.

5pts for the 1st...?

Pour yourself a celebratory drink. Played the whole game IIRC. BBC Sport - Brighton 1-0 Sunderland (aet)

That said, I cannot remember for the life of me if he was any good or not.

What chance of an England vs. Egypt friendly anytime soon...?

Adam could renew his 'friendship' with Andy Carroll..............!!!

 

[Freddie Goodwin.]

Brilliant and well deserved accolade for him. It wasn't so long ago he was the scapegoat for all that was wrong in a poor team, but it's been great to watch a player 'grow'.

He's had his limitations and sometimes 'lost it' on the pitch but you could never doubt his commitment. now he's playing in his best position and he's really benefitted from the faith Gus and the training team have had in him and learned so much.

You can see the respect he commands on the pitch and he's had some wonderful battles with some wiley old forwards and, in a lot of the games, both parties seem to relish the battle and you can see the respect at the end of the games. he's even toning down the play acting!

In some ways he reminds me of johnny Crumplin, a much maligned player who won the crowd over by his determination to be better. I'm not sure how well he'll do with Egypt, despite family it'll still be a major culture shock, but he's certainly becoming an Albion legend.

Interesting interview with Adam on Egyptian TV. Says he doesn't speak the language and has only ever been to Egypt on holiday. Mentions London a few times which is weird bearing in mind he grew up in Brighton, maybe he thought the viewers would not have heard of Sussex by the Sea!

 

[We're the Stripes]

^ How on EARTH did you find that?!

Be great to see Adam increase his profile out there.

 

[Everest]

He did mention Brighton though

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

The translation of his surname into english from arabic traditionally means "slave of the high"

What does Tommy El-Phick mean?

He says he has visited family in Cairo as well as going on holiday.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Let's hope he gets a game. You'd have thought he might have picked up a few words of Arabic from his old man in his years on the planet, but hey.

What time is kick off, anyone got any live streams?

What time is kick off, anyone got any live streams?

7.00pm k.o. Had a hunt around for a stream, but no luck.

Site I use seems to specialise in streams for meaningless international friendlies, typical that the one time I want to watch one - it's not there.

Keep an eye on the following link, in case it does pop up later today.

Any news on if he's made the team?
