How long was this after the spurs game? Guess the plan was always to play the nothing team. 

Eddie said as much in an interview directly after the Spurs game.

The bedwetter in me is thinking there might be a cross word or two from the commercial bods in Howe's direction. :lol:


To be fair rightly so also. I know it's nothing to us watching from here, but it's two fingers up to the fans who have attended imo and it's not a good look when he can't be arsed to even name players who have hardly played any games (Dummett and Ritchie) and then not used players he's even put on the bench.

Not embarrassing from a football point of view, but it is a bit to the Aussies the game was sold to. Shan on them.

Well they've seen plenty of goal action.

 

Not much of a contest though.

Eddie said as much. The  1st team season ends after Spurs game.

Why not play Dummett and Ritchie in this game? Just give them a run out. 

You would think they will add some experince and help out the youngsters instead of this total shit show.

Thing is it's not just that we played the kids, we played the kids who are jetlagged and knackered and in no fit state to play. Not surprising that it was an absolute massacre. 

 

Do wonder what the organisers of this trip might think, though.

I question such a game being played at all at this time of the year but the side put out by Howe was taking the piss.

 

Not only were they no-names (as far as the fans were concerned) they didn't give a shit.

Pathetic all round. Who wins from this?

 

Club looks stupid. Fans who will have travelled and paid decent money have been mugged off. Youth team hammered.

 

Just looks like a cash grab from the club. Really, really doesn't paint us in a good light.

He wasn’t obliged to put any first teamers at risk after a gruelling season to be fair

What an utter waste of time for all involved :crazy2:

Glad I'm not one of those idiots who paid to watch this.

 

Yeah that totally didn't happen!

 

Ah well at least I got the discount bundle I guess... 

 

?

Then why go at all?

 

Such a rip off for the local fans.
