Read on reports board the team are off for 5 days in Dubai. if true then it is simply disgusting IMO. rooted to the bottom of the league as good as down, just been shafted 4 1 by Swansea and they see fit to pis.s off on a jolly up to Dubai. Team bonding they will tell us, go fukcing bowling or paint balling like normal people ( that's all you deserve) rather than totally taking the pis,s out of us fans.  |  | | |  |

1. If you own an airline then flying to Dubai is not a big deal.
2. It is not compulsory to make the people who work for you hate working for you. |
they shouldnt be rewarded for total failure
the thought of them relaxing around a pool soaking up the sun as they sip their cocktails while we struggle on here in the cold, |  |

Calders, console yourself with the fact that if we'd lost 8-1 the team would be going to the moon, on a one way ticket. |  |

This mini training camp is probably more important to the rest of the season than even the players realise. It's a rare opportunity to do some team work and try and find some togetherness and resolve.
Even though we're only just two thirds of the season through, we've looked a little worn out, probably on the mental side from being down there for so long. This is a chance to freshen up and re-charge the batteries.
I look at the way the players respond to each other on the pitch and I don't see a team that knows each other or likes each other that much. Sometimes friendships are forged and differences put aside on trips like these, especially if they go well.
If they don't though, it's also game over. So this has to go well if we want to survive, they have to enjoy it and they have to be productive. |
With respect, you wrote similar niceties about the trip to Malaysia and that obviously has not worked.
Why Dubai ? Why not southern Spain ?? Nothing to do with the fact that Dubai is an oil rich place with possible investors to tap up ? Oh no sirrreeeeeeee. | | | |

FFS, even assuming that is the reason, attracting investors is a bad thing???? |  |

The trip to Malaysia last summer was supposed to be great preparation for the season as well. |
Absolutely, exactomundo, in one...

Should they be sent to a training camp in the North Pole (no black gloves allowed)? |  |

I have read that there are several teams going to Dubai, not just from the Premiership or UK.
It could be a chance for players to get together, have an impromptu 5-a-side on the beach, keepie-uppies competitions & general football bonding.
I am pretty sure that some hard work will be done, and the team will sweat for their money. It is true that to get away in the winter for a few days does the world of good for a person, plus natural sunlight will help them. I am convinced that there are only positives to be had from the trip from a footballing perspective as well as a social bonding exercise. They will be told what is needed from them in the final games, and will discuss all scenarios available. I don't see this as a bad thing, and the idea that they should be punished for some of their recent appearances is just silly. They should be continuously encouraged. |  |

should have locked them in a room together with a football and a goal
and only when they put the ball in the goal do they get fed!
im sure they would get the hang of it after a couple of days! | |

I don't see the big deal with this really. Believe me, I am not happy with our performance either.
If this is for pure training session away from the cold than it is a good thing. They obviously need the work and you can train longer away from this weather.
I wouldn't think this is about hanging around the pool, working on a tan and sipping drinks out of a coconut shell. | | | |

Oh bravo. In a thread full of bad posts, you top the lot. Brilliant.
Oh well, at least there'll be plenty of entertainment for them there. I heard many of them are looking forward to the afternoons, where they'll get orange squash and sit down together to watch Scooby-Dubai-Doo. |  |

What do you expect them to do, give up 95% of their wages and travel on the tube evrry day for 2 weeks - just to make them suffer like us?

As far as I am concerned going to Dubai is one of the worst punishments around.
Horrible place. |  |

Get her.
I just think the club puts the importance of these things the wrong way round. We were told the Malaysia trip was for warm weather training. It was nothing of the sort.It was to sell shirts, end of. The type of weather found in Malaysia is nothing like the weather we get over here. Nor is Dubai either apart from about a week in August .
Spain is more logical. If the club wants investors, just say so.Not that they are, its just the cynic in me.

5 or 6 teams are going - so not just "good old Rs" | | | |

One final chance to gel, bond the team and create some sort of unison and collective resolve sounds like a decent gamble to me |  | | |
