[Albion] Japan pre season

[Uh_huh_him]

I never watched that but I did see a clip of it, i think, where Arteta was holding a lightbulb and banging on about Edison?

Yup!

that was the worst, but there were plenty of others

 

[Rookie]

Passed me by, but no Dahoud in the travelling squad (unless I’ve gone word blind). Must have a move lined up otherwise surely he goes on tour even if just to make up the numbers?

Correct. He was definitely in Lancing / training videos last week so he's a) either injured b) not in our plans.

The delivery might be but I liked the bit about being positive and being a good team mate.

Sometimes you see players on the pitch moaning at each other and having a go after making a mistake, which I always thought was a bit stupid and would make it worse, especially if it’s one of the younger players.

I remember Milner, Gross and Welbeck moaning at folk last year, so I hope Milner at least was paying attention.

Players moaning at team mates happens at all levels, if I put in a ball in just behind the forward when I used to play he would moan the coach would moan nothing to see there at all. You hold your hand up and get on with the game.

 

[Han Solo]

Yep, it's reasonable in the UK, I think the two matches kick-off at 11am and 10:30am.

Not so much for me - 3am and 2:30am. I'm hoping they will be on a TV channel so I can record them (or if they are streamed, there is a way to watch them after the event).

Slightly OT but are there kangaroos (or some equivalent) in Arizona and do they come out at night, like deer?

Make up the numbers? There's over 30 players that have travelled!

 

[dazzer6666]

Just me or is this a bit Brentish?

Would love to know what was going through Milner’s head

Imagine presenting in something other than your first language isn't the simplest thing to get spot on.

 

[albionfan37]

Did I see somewhere that these games are on prime?

Nothing wrong on calling someone out if they make a mistake, , that’s how players learn , and don’t make the same mistake twice

They're advertised on the Japanese clubs websites as being on Amazon Prime. Whether Japanese variant is the same as our variant is another matter

Yeah, there's a lot. And virtually a full team that haven't travelled - Verbruggen, Dunk, Estupinan, Moder, March, Gross, Undav, Ferguson, Enciso, Pedro

I imagine something like this.

Some class players there!

Had to google this and it doesn't disappoint

I think he has been on to many management courses. Surely dont need to be telling people to be positive and nice to colleagues as assume this is case until see otherwise.

Thanks mate

 

[albionfan37]

I’m surprised weir (jr) has gone and not dahoud as I thought weir was almost certainly going to be sold this summer

Or noted how miserable everyone was towards the end of last season.
If his tactics work and we do a St Pauli I’m sure we won’t be complaining

Yes, and don’t we live in a world where our “emotional intelligence”, yes that!, should tell us how different people like to be treated, and in some cases and circumstances people respond positively to a good bollock***. Honesty is better than nice.
