Warm weather training

West Ham certainly played like a jaded side at Villa (though why change the side that beat Swansea? Sam being too clever by half). So perhaps the trip to Dubai will refresh the squad, even if it does dent our carbon footprint. Brian Clough used to do the same with Nottingham Forest, so perhaps our lads will come back like refreshed gap year students. Or more possibly get lost in the outback deserts of the Premiership like that lad in Australia. Difficult game coming up on Monday. Worryingly the press is saying that Adabayor is coasting at Spurs - so expect him to score against WHU. Our best hope is to offer Spurs some horsemeat lasagne.
