farking hell.

So when we are in trouble halfway into the season i fully expect this preseason will be used as the excuse.

In fairness I'm out in Northern Italy at the moment, about 90 minutes from where the squad are. It's about 38C every day and apparently has been for the past 10 or so days. Even now at half 10 at nights it's still 28C. Can easily see how the pitch could be so hard and unsafe

Erm.... Is it that tough to water? Or we just gonna leave the Italian tour, seeing as its hot?

Players don't get a nice holiday.

The only reason I can think of is the heat. The extreme heat (compared to the UK) makes training and matches more intense, making it a better tougher workout!....... other than that, I think bakes is probably right!

I think away gives them more focus on just the football. Way too many distractions. Only time they've really seemed to work was when Holloways sent them on a RAF bootcamp up north

Also heat and altitude obviously help with fitness

I Love the way that some are so down on the club that they are even trying to hold them responsible for the italian weather..i wonder if the Monaco fans feel the same!

Who's blaming the Italian weather u lemon? Nothing wrong with being organised and making sure beforehand that everything was in order.

Monaco? Who cares? They're French.

Personally, pre season is all about fitness. Not the scores. Nor what pitch it is. I'm more worried at the lack of players at pre season rather than who they're playing or what pitch it is on.
