    All good to see, though I fear we'll get someone moaning about 'excessive PR waffle' - I think they're doing a grand job raising the club's profile personally.

    I love the fact our pre season training is a bit old school.
    It reminds me of when Rocky Ballboa fought the big russian. Old school against new age....old school won ;)

    I dont see how City,Spurs & Sunderland would benefit more by going down their route. I we played city tomorrow, i would fancy our chances.

    Flying out to Asia, travelling around playing on a pitch resembling the Somme and having training washed out by extreme rainfall.

    How many other people get the pun in the headline? Not many I'd bet. Bizarre effort that.

    I see. Well one can see they primarily did it to raise their club profiles on that side of the World. We'll see how well it has gone for them, fitness wise, by the end of the season.

    Nice to see a player can now mention Nige and give recognition. When poch came in it was as though he had never existed.

    ?? Not me. In Lallana: Tino's best? Nah, not got it. Surely not comparing anyone to George Best? La-Tino...Latino?? No? I give up.

    Were you looking for a pun that wasn't really there? Drinking early in the day isn't healthy ;)

    That would be awful, but in fact as some others have picked up on, it's a reference to West Indian cricketer Tino Best, for some reason... and the fact Pochettino's name ends in 'tino', I guess. Yeah.
