If you get the chance have camel biryani, ride a camel and hire a 4x4 for a spin in the desert. If you get the chance to nail a Saudi woman I want to hear all about it! Will be plenty Nigerian brass I suspect, stay away from drugs and alcohol, try the dates and the happy massage

I might see if they do camel tarka, bit like tikka but a little otter.

Why did City have mid-season tour in 1992/93?

Two game tour of Japan where the Blues beat Mitsubishi Urawa 2-0 and Hitachi Omiya 1-0.

Sandwiched between Wimbledon at home and Southampton away.

Was Al Ahyl winning last night a big upset or are they a decent team can’t say I recognise many of their players

It wasn’t exactly ‘mid-season’ - it was the last week of April. But I know what you‘re saying.
The background to it was that the inaugural season of the J.League was soon to get underway and there was a lot of money being thrown at football in Japan. The powers that be wanted a PL team to go out there for pre-season friendlies to help build up the hype. City were asked to go as we had nothing whatsoever to play for in terms of league position and our remaining fixtures couldn’t impact on any other major issues.
Whether it would happen now with the PL prize money for every win you pick up is another matter.
