We had a night out on the Saturday after the Arsenal game in London and that was always the plan. It was good. All the lads turned up to it
London is the hub of the world for the unveiling of 'Avatar,'
Olympia is a great entertainment spectacle and also a hugely important sporting event on the build up to the 2012 Olympics in London.
