Gonna be lovely seeing Isak do his ACL in this and be ruined/hobbled for 12 months 

 

 

 

surely they will play a second string team - I remember being at Goodison Park when Shearer dislocated his ankle in a Pre-season friendly :howe:

We'd all trade places in a heartbeat, but Bruno's life:

Run more than anyone in the PL over a grueling 10 months > fly to Australia > fly back to England (presumably) > 10ish days off? > fly somewhere in the USA > play Mexico in f'ing Texas on June 8 (central time) > play the US in Orlando on June 12 (eastern time) > 10 days of training camp somewhere (California?) > three Copa America group stage games in LA, Vegas, and SF in a week > QF in Arizona > SF in Charlotte > final in Miami > 10 days off > join NUFC for Japan? > repeat long season

 

Maybe he skips the Japan tour if Brazil go all the way to the final, but either way it's pretty relentless.

Good thing he’s an extremely competitive unhinged freak otherwise he’d be rightfully pissed off about it

If forcing some of our stars to play 45 mins in Aus means our transfer budget is a few mil better off, then so be it.

Doesn’t make any difference to our transfer budget - it’ll go into the 23/24 accounts.

 

More likely it’ll offset any potential FFP worries for this season (edit - as in the one just finished)

In Nashville they had you sign up and made it seem like it would be a list or whatever but they both ended up being GA.

I reckon this is the same. Haven't had any details taken, no formal tickets issued - I think they're just keeping an eye on general numbers more than anything.

That was my take too. They didn't check anyone in or anything at either of the events it was just first come first served type situations. 

 

They just want our data. :lol:

All I know is if the 'legend' is Ian Rush or something then...

Awkward The Simpsons GIF

It’ll probably be Michael bridges or chopra didn’t both of those play in Australia for a while?

Mine was in junk mail. You still have to enter card details, as well as voucher code, but no payment taken if member/season ticket holder.
