Do our players get a summer holiday?

On a slow Uni day. hey come on if you guys can spend half your working day checking this site (while the rest is spent in the pub).

Well I've been trying to find some info on the England U.17's, and Chopra in particular, and have come up with zip. I've searched every possible internet site I could think of. So I ended up checking an online Trinidad newspaper for their sports section to see if it would have anything and found this story, "English clubs aplenty coming". Well the sites URL is the same for each page so just check the sports section and you'll find it, www.guardian.co.tt/

Anyway it has some info on the coaching academy and tour that NUFC will be involved in.

Found a site. Doesn't say who played in each game, but does have scorers. Well Chopra hasn't scored since the opening game of the tournament. But the games were played on Tuesday, Thursday & Friday, so in all likelyhood they've rotated the squad to keep players fresh. England thrashed Mexico 4-2, and Trinidad and Tobago 5-0, but only draw with the US 1-1.

Tre, go to nufc.com for more on the Trinidad trip. There's even travel packages on offer for supporters who want to go along.

And if the US summer friendlies do take place in July, they're all going to have pretty healthy frequent flyer accounts. Especially Given who will also be in the US in early June if he's picked for the Ireland squad.

Well I can`t see what`s wrong with the English Riviera if they are off on their holidays! I`d be more than happy to fix them up with a friendly with say, Bashley (we just happen to live nextdoor to them), or even with New Milton Eagles (who we just happen to sponsor)!

I would even lay on a `nice ham tea`, get the deckchairs out in the garden, put on `Bob Marley`s Greatest Hits` - I`ve even got palmtrees in the garden! What more could they want! (:o)
