Smiley Culture Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Getting to that time of year where Premier League teams start releasing details about what Asian country/American states/daft pre-season tournament and whatever money making schemes they’re embarking on in the name of pre-season friendlies. I’ve seen Manchester United are off to the USA, I’m sure others have released details so here’s a dedicated thread to pre-season. Tottenham are bound to have a ‘big’ friendly as an opening game of the new stadium, if it’s completed. I imagine it’ll be a Bayern, Barca, Juve, Real type opponent.

Administrator Stan Posted April 30, 2018 Administrator Share Posted April 30, 2018 Doubt Spurs will have a game there if their first 4 home games are due to be played away apparently. I'm glad we're not gonna be involved in any international tournament (well I hope not anyway). Stick to playing teams here and not faffing about going to America, Sweden and Asia like we have past couple of seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t realise that, thought they’d try and have got the ground done so they could have a big opening game, unless it’s planned that they open with a big league game like a Chelsea or someone of that ilk rather than Bournemouth or someone like that.

Subscriber Dan+ Posted May 2, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted May 2, 2018 There was a rumour flying around that we were going on a tour of Holland, playing three friendlies with one of those being NAC Breda, although I've since been told that it isn't true and we're just going to Austria and Switzerland, playing two friendlies at training grounds out there against other sides on tour. A bit dull but I'd rather that than one of these stupid tournaments thousands of miles away. It isn't confirmed yet, but there's loads of people saying that on August 1st we're playing Valencia at home, which is a very good friendly. I just hope we get a few grounds I've not been to yet. Give me Cambridge, Boston, Notts County and Shrewsbury. Imagine we'll play at Burton again. I miss the days of Hinckley away. That was a good day out right up the road.

Smiley Culture Posted May 2, 2018 Author Share Posted May 2, 2018 German sides love a friendly in the arse end of Austria. Valencia is a good one, mind. Leeds United are playing Ossett United, the team who are the merger between Ossett Albion and Ossett Town, in, what I'm guessing, will be there first game as one club.

Smiley Culture Posted July 6, 2018 Author Share Posted July 6, 2018 Domestic Football friendlies have, quite rightly, become a bit of a sideshow of England’s World Cup campaign with many games this Saturday being cancelled or moved to between 11am-1pm so people can watch both England and whatever friendly they were intending on. Southampton have drew 3-3 in China with Schalke so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eurostar straight into the city, though I imagine it’s the kids holiday’s so prices might be shit. Worst case, Megabus do coaches out there from London for peanuts. Know a load of lads that did Lille during the Euros for something like £30 return. I was going to do Brentwood Town v West Ham XI, which would have been their youth team and reserves on Wednesday but then it got moved to Tuesday because of the World Cup but I’m at a funeral tomorrow so won’t be about for it.

Yeah sorry I should've said pricey rather than not easy - I personally don't mind paying a bit for it as I've always fancied going on it but mates of mine just can't justify it. It's such a pain. I'll likely drive it and stay over. We're tying in Lens v Red Star on the Friday as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiley Culture Posted July 10, 2018 Author Share Posted July 10, 2018 Loris Karius has had another concussion, it seems. He was responsible for a Tranmere goal this evening. Joking aside, he’s an utterly broken human being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 I'm off to the Toulouse game on the 4th. Ive just found out it is the return of John Bostock. Personally I don't care about the saga any more. As a club we have far exceeded anything I expected us too during his career. We have also far exceeded him. He's pretty much come out since and told everybody he was told by his agent and his Dad what to do at 15. The contract was on the table and he was told he had to sign there and then or Tottenham withdraw their offer. He done himself absolutely no favours in every interview he did for the next two or three years, but it seems like he's the first to admit now his advice was wrong. In a way, given how he was literally at rock bottom about four or five years ago. It's quite admirable to see him go abroad, earn the title of Ligue Two Player of the Season and is now expected to play a big role in the French Division. A lot of young players suffering from such a fall in grace would have just given up. Unfortunately, I don't think many fans will be as level headed as myself and it will be an opportunity to jeer him repeatedly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Dan+ Posted July 22, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted July 22, 2018 Beat Notts County 1-4 earlier. Can't provide a proper analysis of the game, spent most of it nearly throwing up went waaaaay too heavy on the drink today. Morgan, Choudhury, Gray and Slimani for us. Gray's was a good goal. From the bits I saw we pretty much dominated. Shame there's no other aways in England. Good day though. I like going to Nottingham for football without spending the day shitting myself about the result. Another one of the 92 ticked off too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
