A full squad. Almost.

Viv, Rocket and Ben have all made their way safely to Begerac, completing our tour party. It's been an excellent effort from everyone — using planes trains and automobiles, we've all managed to get here in time for tomorrow's game, despite the best efforts of the French strikers.

Except Morgsy, who never actually left his house.

Friday breakfast update

Morgsy is officially out of the tour – unable to get a seat on today’s Southampton flight. Shame – he’ll be missed.

At the time of writing, Vivek and the Rocket are at Southampton airport and due to fly at 10.30am. Good luck lads.

Chadders, James A and I have just had breakfast in the hotel. Here are the official stats on what we ate:

Chadders – 3 x pains au chocolat, 1 x kiwi, 1 x apple, 4 x cups of coffee, 4 x glasses of orange juice.


James – 2 x baguette with black cherry jam, 3 x pains au chocolat, orange juice.

Maxie – 3 x Babybel, 3 x croissant, 2 x baguette pieces, 2 x cups of tea, orange juice.

No sign yet of any other tourists.
