Bong Bong

John Hartson. Call him what you will - he's actually a really nice bloke - but the Slovenian press are clearly big fans.

Ahead of tonight's game against Crvena Zvezda, Big John was the main topic of conversation in one local newspaper.

Hartson opted to run rather than cycle the 5-mile journey back from the training ground to the hotel two days ago.

The Slovenian press described him as the 'perfect role-model'.

In fairness, John has been putting in the effort and mileage during this trip. Will it be enough? We'll see...

There were more shenanigans as the foreigners took on Team England game at the training pitch this morning. England normally win at a canter.

Not this time.

The overseas contigent - including the Irish, Scottish and Welsh lot - coasted to a 6-1 win.

At 4-1, Tony Mowbray said: "Zolly, are you missing Jason and Diomansy?"

The silence was deafening.

Mind you, Mr Bean doesn't say much anyway...

And then there's Jonathan Greening. The Albion midfielder signed shirts and flags for the few Baggies fans who made the trip to the Balkans - hi Sauce, nice flag by the way - but clearly the heat had got to Jono.

Albion's resident Countdown expert (yes, of course I'm joking) had signed his name and the words 'Bong Bong' on the souvenirs.

Are you going to tell him or shall I?
