Albion arrange La Manga trip

Thursday 5th November 2009, 11:29AM GMT.

ALBION 14 DH 14Albion will head to La Manga in Spain for a mid-season training camp next week.

The Baggies players will jet to the southern Spanish resort for five days of warm weather training after Saturday’s meeting with Leicester.

The trip will be the Baggies’ first spell away from their Great Barr training ground since their three-match pre-season tour of Slovenia and Croatia.

But before heading to Spain, the Baggies will take on Championship surprise package Leicester at the Walkers Stadium on Saturday with summer signing Simon Cox looking to build on his first League goal for the club against Watford at the weekend.

Di Matteo defended the handling of the striker, for whom the game against Watford was only a second League start in Albion colours.

The head coach said: “We just didn’t feel he was right to start because we had other players ahead of him. When we thought the time was right we put him in and looks sharp.

“Obviously, a goal helps any striker. When you think he’s ready to step into team, score goals and help the team you select him. That goes for everybody.”

    3. Tezza Im sure you are a wolves fan you going to watch them now?!

    I have made a list of players below that need to stay in Spain:

    Carson (not good enough)
    Luke Moore (lazy, had too many chances)
    Mattock (awful)
    Meite (donkey)
    Cox (not ready)
    Reid (not good enough)
    Brunt (lazy wants to leave)

    On another note keep an eye on Roman Bednar the last thing we need is him causing problems again.

    The Real Bully Hoo.

    Shropshire Baggie.
    The latest incarnation of Laughing Wolf AKA Shadrag.
    This person, he has claimed in the past to be a financial consultant, something we now find totally laughable. He obviously has, as Cyril has pointed out, a major personality defect and the amount of time he spends on here suggests he has little else in his life.
    Laughing Wolf used to post on here under that name and was generally ridiculed, he now takes his revenge by trying to bore us all to death with his many guises. He occasionally catches out a new reader, he also ocasionally catches out himself when he forgets to change his header.
    Laughing Wolf receives possibly more abuse when he appears on the Wolves site when he uses that name than he does on here and I’m sure he uses aliases on there as well.
    Here is the crux of my appeal. We all have a different degree of affection for Shadrag. It’s like having your own personal village idiot that happens to be a Wolves fan into the bargain. However we must put these personal feelings aside and do our best to help this poor man. To do this we must totally ignore him. No matter how ridiculous he becomes, do not give in to the temptation, he needs our help. I admit I’ve been as guilty as anyone else of this in the past.
    The only exception should be to explain a Shenanigan to any new readers that fall into his pathetic web.

    Jodie – you should know by now that shadrag isn’t thick skinned – just thick !!!

    I used to post quite regularly on the dingles pages for a laugh – but always under my own name…. it would stick in my craw to type “happydingle” or some other moniker that suggested i was a wolves fan (ughhh).
