Exactly - full training means he has built up his strength. p has a point in that there is often a set back (see Leah :( ) - but no reason not to play
We'll see :-)
My hunch is Arteta is going to be reluctant to sling him in unless he has to. Might be a chance to give him some minutes off the bench if we are comfortable in games.

Fair - and, of course, we don't need to at the moment, particularly if Tomiyasu is fit.

Out of interest, is Timber in the CL squad?

We’ve only got one game left to play though.
The inevitable 1-1 draw.

Yes, we celebrated that rule on our return to the Champions League by refusing to score one :-)

I don't think that's awfully funny, Peter.

Well, either you're in the goalscoring business or you're not.

Don't know if we should go back there, It's worked out very well, maybe going back will undo the good work. and return us to Pre dubai form

I loved Oman - although, of course, I didn't have to pay for anything

I really like the airport at Dubai. I have never set foot outside it though.

It’s just a bit sad when you see WH Smith and Costa Coffee. Same as Qatar

Spent 12 hours in the airport at Abu Dhabi - still didn't see all of it. Would have been lovely if the beers were less than €15 a go

You need the business class lounge. Shower, free bar, nice kip :-)

This will infuriate you, but the free bar is completely wasted on me. I don't really drink when I'm taking long flights.
A shower is the greatest thing imaginable, though. Makes a gigantic difference between two long flights.

My priority on the stopover when I used to have to fly too often to Sydney was a toilet that you could sit on comfortably :strood:
