And he's got Ramadan coming up in 10 days time. Usually takes him a good few months to get back to his best after 30 days of fasting during which he inexplicably seems to gain weight.
Jaysus Col! Change the record ffs. I'm not knocking him, not at all, just stating a bleeding obvious fact. In fact I'm one of those morons who have players names on my shirt and Taarabt's name is on it. The first name I always look for on the team sheet is his. Will be seriously gutted if we lose him, whatever the reason. All I'm saying is I'm disappointed if his fitness is worse than it was when he left for holiday, meaning he won't be a starter during the first months of the season. Hence me and you and thousands more will be robbed of the pleasure of watching him play.
He was only allowed to take the pictures in a bra and thong. That's why they're all smiling and laughing.
I know, only kidding. Just wondering, isn't there an exception for athletes during Ramadan? Pretty sure I've read something about here in Norway.
Caption competition for pic #2 showing Zamora and (I think) Bothroyd sharing a joke. "How many big lumbering centre forwards does it take to score goal? None. Just ask Spain or Barcelona."
It's up to them afaik. They can recuperate the days or pay them off in charity or do what they like. I'm not religious so best ask an expert.
