I see Blackburn are flying to Mumbai to play a friendly during the international break, no doubt to keep the chicken sellers happy and pick up a fat cheque as well. We play them immediately after this trip and it will be interesting to see whether they come back sharper or jet-lagged. Considering it's one of the matches both sides will consider vital is this really the best way to use the break? I ask this because with Malaysian owners and the fanaticism of these Asian countries for anything Premier League, can we expect similar arrangements later in the season? I am sure we will be over there in pre-season but mid-season may be something that Warnock will not wear...
