Don’t know if their fans will travel in numbers for this, but this was at Norwich last season. Brilliant.

apathy because we've only signed 6 players?

The fella is a prime example of talk coming directly from an arse.

As fun as it was, a second-division Dutch team doesn't exactly set the hearts racing.

This one is my favourite

While I agree on the role of physical attributes in the modern game, they never trump footballing ability.

Some of the least effective players have “footballing ability”, Randall for example. It’s not a matter of having either one or the other but rather having both to be a complete player.

FWIW a large part of peak Messi’s game was down to having the strength and movement to avoid being easily knocked off the ball.

Messi better than Randall. Noted

Interesting interpretation. Explains a lot.

Yeah let's all meet up and wank eachother off making direct eye contact until climax wearing nothing but half and half shirts.

You really are a miserable git. Sounds like a really good idea really and something both sets of supporters could get behind. There’s too much animosity between fans so it’s nice to see two clubs looking to bring something better. The best things often aren’t planned but happen by accident as this has.

I'm sure the training camp destination is going to be determined by Craig from Edgworth's desire for a piss-up

That's before I mention the dictation on loan recruitment

Yeah, it's a brilliant idea. Let's loan some shite from the Netherlands second division because their fans jumped around at the Reebok.

As bad as that gimpathon with Forest Green.

Well not quite as that was easily the darkest day in the history of Bolton supporters.

good opportunity for an actual Dutch rudder

Really? I’ve yet to see Randall’s ability. Guy can’t seem to kick a ball with any pace. That isn’t physical, it’s technique.

Craig's actual preference for an awayday is Bern, Switzerland.
He's really into Young Boys.

Loads away on Holiday

Similar "apathy" in our Prem days - 2010 - Bolton 2 Osasuna 0 (Elmander and CYL) attendance 4,847!

Hard to recall a friendly at the Reebok against opposition that aren't either local or biggish ever attracting 5k or more.
