    If they weren’t owned by the mags, no one would turn a blind eye. Good move for me, keeps the lads sharp and ready to go for millwall.

    Anyone know if this is going to be streamed? Should be a good test in that heat.

    exactly this. even ignoring whether anybody should care or not who we play, its just a stupidly easily avoidable PR own goal, that makes me question the sanity of the people running our club. Which is silly, right. Because they're doing a good job otherwise. So clearly they know what they're doing. So why the f*** do this?

    Or, you've got 2 billion burning a hole in your pocket and you fancy taking your club to dubai to escape the North East weather. You shop about for a team to play and non are forthcoming other than the camel riders...

    That's probably the case. at which point they probably should have just not had a friendly. or at the very least, not announced it publicly like this. We seem to manage to have behind closed doors friendlies quite often.

    The decision to "announce" this one is probably weirder than the decision to have it in the first place.

    Terrible decision which chips away at a few feet of our moral high ground

    I was bothered about it before the mags were owned by them, and I am now so what do you say to that?

    Its the time of year
    Now that Spring is in the air
    When those two wet gits with their girly curly hair
    Make another song for moronic holidays
    That nauseate-ate-ate
    In a million different ways
    From the shores of Spain
    To the coast of Southern France
    No matter where you hide
    You just can't escape this dance
    Hold a chicken in the air
    Stick a deckchair up your nose
    Buy a jumbo jet
    And then bury all your clothes
    Paint your left knee green
    Then extract your wisdom teeth
    Form a string quartet
    And pretend your name is Keith
    Skin yourself alive
    Learn to speak Arapahoe
    Climb inside a dog
    And behead an eskimo
    Eat a Renault Four with salami in your ears
    Casserole your gran
    Disembowel yourself with spears
    The disco is vibrating
    The sound is loud and grating
    Its truly nauseating
    Let's do the dance again
    Hold a chicken in the air
    Stick a deckchair up your nose
    Yes you'll hear this song in the holiday discos
    And there's no escape in the clubs or in the bars
    You would hear this song if you holidayed in Mars
    Skin yourself alive
    Learn to speak Arapahoe
    Climb inside a dog
    And behead an eskimo
    Now you've heard it once
    Your brain will spring a leak
    And though you hate this song
    You'll be humming it for weeks
    Hold a chicken in the air
    Stick a deckchair up your nose
    Buy a jumbo jet
    And then bury all your clothes
    La la la la la
    La la la la la la la
    La la la la la
    La la la la la la laaaaaaa

    Needless this one....best to have kept well away. The whole world cup in Qatar to me is football losing it's sole. Think we should have camped out in Hartlepool for the week instead. Nothing like the wind off the North Sea to keep you grounded.....

    Agree with this, I personally think the reaction to the regime buying the mags has heightened our moral outrage with playing a Saudi team. I mean China has as bad a human rights record, allegedly, would we have this if we were playing peking United or Shanghai rovers? Any break and practice for our crocks is worth it imho.
