What's the point in having a perfect indoor pitch if you train outside when it's -3 and the ground is hard as feck?
Outside has a lower virus risk.

Someone working on it told me the 1st team won't ever be using the indoor pitch.
Can't remember why though and possibly bollocks

We have gone all Spinal Tap about the training ground we are keeping the labels on stuff and no one is allowed to touch the indoor field. Team selection goes up to 11.

In that case, I hope Iheanacho is a ****ing 12.

Fabulous.
During my occasional forays into corporate employment I was always fascinated by the prevalence of these sorts of utterly pointless awards that absolutely nobody cared about & hardly anyone had heard of. Took me a while to realise that they exist almost solely to provide perks for staff that can be written off against tax in ways that cash bonuses etc can't.
Go to the awards, get free food, free booze, free night in a nice hotel, free entertainment (never up to much that to be honest) Occasionally free prostitutes too but apparently that was mostly in the financial sector which I never worked in. A very British type of low level, slightly sad corruption.
Nice buffets though.

Yes, I'd heard the same about her as well.

I went to one of these once and the entertainment was bloody brilliant. They had a bloke called Don McClean who'd I'd seen on the television occasionally and wasn't expecting much but he was very very funny. His after dinner speech ripped the piss out of the company and the management (who to be fair seemed to not mind at all), I was totally surprised at how good he was.

Is that the Brummie bloke with 400 teeth? Must be in his 70s by now?
