Aye a canny reward for failure.... Knocked out of the cup, piss of to the sun of Dubai... Is that you team bonding Martin? Get to the splendid academy and do some work..... ....................................... SUNDERLAND have jetted off to Dubai for a break and a chance to get in some warm-weather training. The trip to the United Arab Emirates will also give Martin OâNeill the chance to work more with new signings Danny Graham, Alfred NâDiaye and Kader Mangane. http://www.sunderlandecho.com/sport/football/sunderland-jet-off-for-dubai-training-camp-1-5399012
A footballers life is a pampered one indeed. 99% of top division players in Europe.....and afar(and probably only the English second) get fantastic reward for being I suppose a little better than average players. Having said that, the season lasts from August untl May, with very few breaks (unless you get knocked out of both cups early every season.........US)so do I begrudge a few day's in the sun. Nope not at all. does it sound that way?
Cloughie or Alan Brown would have had them running up and down the Cat and Dog Steps, soft bastards, they'll all be wearing gloves next.
Read somewhere that he required gas and air, but he managed to climb the steps to the plane after a few minutes. haha..
