Can’t believe people are still getting upset over this. I honestly believe no one would give two ****s if the mags weren’t owned by Saudi’s.

I couldn’t care less who we are playing as long as it’s keeping the lads match sharp. All this outrage has been heightened by the fact the mags are owned by the Saudis and no one call tell me different.

I'm afraid you can't project your lack of understanding of the world around you onto everybody else. This idea that Sunderland fans wouldn't have cared about the regime that still stoned women to death when they commit adultery is frankly insulting.

Or even just being accused of adultery.

I’m sure the club would have considered this before agreeing to the game. The team we are playing has no bearing on what happens in these countries. We aren’t taking money from them, it’s a one off friendly match. The outrage is baffling if you ask me.
 
The Sunderland first-team squad have just headed to Dubai for a week of warm weather training.

The pause in the Sky Bet Championship fixture schedule during the World Cup has given the Lads ample opportunity to enhance preparations for the resumption of the league schedule. The Black Cats currently sit 15th in the table having beaten Birmingham City 2-1 last Friday.

Part of the week long training camp with include a friendly tie against Al-Shabab at the Jebel Ali Centre of Excellence before returning to the UK on the following Sunday.

Head coach Tony Mowbray said: “For me, it’s about the bonding and the ability to be together. To have breakfast, lunch, training and on an evening watch the World Cup matches together. There will be a benefit.

“Ally that to some pretty key footballers coming back to fitness, I would hope on the back of that we can reboot our season and win football matches on a regular basis.”

After the Sunderland squad return, attentions will turn to the following weekend when Millwall visit the Stadium of Light on Saturday 3rd December.
