That was my thought at first but it’s come from the Supporter Liaison Officer. Says around 100 fans have been selected and you can take one person with you. No request for personal details other than names

Wonder how they have chosen the invites

I believe its how long you stayed back and clapped the team off after the game over the course of last season. Anyone who left early (even just once) was automatically blacklisted.

Not sure if that would reach the ' 100 or so ' mentioned...

Got an email about this this morning, which suggests that some of the initial 100 haven’t been able to make it.

Absolutely gutted that I can’t get out of work to make it but hopefully gives them enough time for someone else to take up the place.

Hopefully it will become a semi-regular thing!

I was there. Training was high intensity. A few of them were flat out by the end. Seemed to spend a decent portion working on playing out from the back in tight spaces. No McNeil or Collins (obviously). A good insight!

Would be good to watch close range, to understand the pace (no pun intended), they work at as pro footballers.

Not the same appreciation from a distance when on the Turf.
I went to Tottenham's training ground on work experience a few days before the start of the 2009/10 season. You never fully understand how good they are at the basic skills of football until you see them train close up.

The finishing of the likes of Jermain Defoe and Robbie Keane was pretty terrifying - simple shooting drills, each one going top corner at the speed of light. Even more terrifying was knowing we had Clarke Carlisle and Steven Caldwell at the back, soon to be joined by Leon Cort.

Moons ago I went to a Charlton - Burnley game and for some reason sat low down in their main stand, as it was then - in other words at pitch level. The pace was frightening from both sides. We fans always had that dream that Burnley were short of players and you would get an opportunity. That dream ended there and then!

Also the comment about the touchline and how he's teaching the young lad about keeping a certain space etc.

I’d imagine it’s for ‘positional play’ which the likes of Pep use to dominate possession.

This explains it quite well.

Yeah good bit of coaching that, might have to start using that myself instead of the tried and tested “bring him down”.

Actually, all the top sides foul players to stop any breakaway attack, and Guardiola has taught his players to do that very well.

Cynical it may be, but there is a time and place for fouling players and I hope VK has learnt the dark arts of football.

No wonder I was a below average defender at Sunday league level listening to that. I didn't understand any of it.
