Now the season is over we can really start to think about the next thing on the club’s agenda – the trip to Burma. Oh boy.
We’ve headed out there for games later this month to take part in a post-season tour and some friendlies in what can only be described as another poor PR stunt from the Whites.
Certainly, many of us are against it and it looks as though a fair few players are going to be missing from the trip, too, with Adam Forshaw the latest to not be going:

An injury for the midfielder, then, so let’s take a look at the reaction to this:

Can’t blame them

The Verdict
I’d never be surprised if a few more injuries came about to reduce the numbers despite the trip now being underway.
I’m not questioning Forshaw’s honesty either here, I just think some might attempt to find a way that they don’t have to stay around and who can blame them?
