Scraping the barrel - Lawrence - 12-06-2023
Gibralter side Europa FC are our "Spanish" friendly opponents. Was their seriously no club in the entire Spanish pyramid system that was available? It's a long way to travel to sit on a mudbank. What happened to the good old days when the navy used to feck up the squad pre-season!?

It’s warm and it sells cold beer.
