Albion players are getting their very own crash course in Slovenian as they bake in temperatures in the mid-30s at their Moravske Toplice training base.
Robert Koren, The Baggies' resident Slovenian, had a word with some of his team-mates before Friday's game against Hajduk Split. And it wasn't very pleasant.
Do tell us more Robert...
"When we played against Hajduk (last Friday) I passed on some bad words to our players for them to say to the opposition players if anything was said to them. The English players are so focused I don't think they remembered. But I spoke to some of the players from Hajduk and, yes, a few bad words were exchanged but that happens in football..."
Thankfully, Koren had the good sense to remove his not-so-macho hair braids before embarking on his war of words with Split's finest.
Meanwhile, David Worrall has probably used a few swear words of his own this week after seeing red for the second time in 24 hours. Harshly sent off against Hajduk, the Albion midfielder took a blow to the nose from a wayward swimmer during a trip to the local water park yesterday. Ouch!

Is going to somewhere with baking temperatures sensible preparation for the cold winter season? Woudnt Albion be better off going to somwhere cold and wet?
Or is it just a big holiday?
