Spugsy plays footy on a weekly basis I believe. As for watching Arsenal with some fellow Gooners, how about in the toilet? If you wanna watch some decent football, however, there are umpteen sports bars here in Dubai.

Spugsy

plenty of bars mate, where are you staying? theres a sports bar near mall of emirates that gets quite busy called 'the locker room' at the golden tulip,

I play footy 3 times a week, 7 a side league, 5 a side league and me and a load of ex pats lads turn up at safa park, pick teams and play for 2 or 3 hours, its great, feel free to come along mate,

how old are you? are you any good? It doesn't matter but we need a striker for our 5 a side team...

sharpshane

Blue Cat

Spugsy

we play at 2pm every friday, dont think I'll be there this week as may have a serious hangover, but feel free to get yourself along.

sharpshane

cool will do roughly where abouts do you play in safa park? also do u need me for 5 a side?

Spugsy

we'll see what you're like first mate

go to the main entrance just off SZR and its the 2nd pitch on the left, you'll see loads of english lads, get there for 2pm though...

Sky Blue

I'll be there on Friday for a run out if you fancy coming along, shame you will miss Spugsy's cultured Row Z clearances!!!

PM me if you want...

Sky Blue

What happened last night eh big man? Not sure about that penalty to be honest!!

Spugsy

I'm like the geordie Vidic me mate!

Spugsy

penalty was as soft as they come, we're crap mate, got about 11 players missing,

I hear we're close to signing Messi, Rooney, Ribery and Cannavaro though today, so we'll be fine.

I always thought that the main entrance was on Al Wasl Road. We usually go to the park before lunch on Saturdays and there is always a competitive game on, between the boating lake and the SZR gate. Last week there were some young European kids in Brazil outfits who played a huge team of red thugs off the park. It was good to watch. So are you playing this coming Friday afters(Spugsy) or are you taking the missus up country?
