The Poolie Bunker

We are playing some good sides in pre season, I mean a team from La Liga is a bit different to West Allotment Celtic methinks.

How the fook did we end up playing Turkish and Spainish teams in Holland though!?

The players will be doing cartwheels at the prospect of playing against Gimnastic methinks

gimnastic aren't la liga anymore.they finished bottom last season and have been relegated.
it will still be a good run out like,better than a game against billy toen...methinks

Bursaspor are next season's new boys to the Turkish Super League so that will be a good test, a good mix of teams for pre season.

the teams they have been playing over there for the past few seasons have been pub teams, 12-0 / 6-0 etc etc. That doesn't do them any good, so hopefully this year they'll pick up some valuable lessons from playing against higher calibre opposition.
