I want to see a pic of NYR with the owners from this one!

 

Furious I can't be there - hope those who attend get to see a good game.

[CarraLegend]

Be awesome to win this given all our missings, Roma are only without a few judging by their last friendly line up. But I'm only really arsed about Gomel and Leverkusen though it will be good to see the younguns.

Annoyingly late and unfortunate clash with final episode of The Killing.

I'm convinced he's doing it deliberately to wind us up.

[New York Red]

I do have work to do you know...

 

Nice showing at JFK. Plenty of LFC shirts about.

Get on it on your dinner hour. You can get three in, certainly on match day.

Have fun. Let us know if you hear any transfer gossip in the owners box.

[New York Red]

Anny Road and Jonesy swore me off drinking on match day. I just couldn't keep up.

Are you pissed at him?

What about Samuel L Jackson?

Trust me, I will.

Surely it makes more sense to schedule these showcase friendlies towards the end of pre-season. If the idea is to market the club to new fans and give existing fans a chance to see their team, then having early friendlies when it's just kids and second rate players fresh and unfit off their hols delivering a snoozefest isn't exactly the best way of wheeling punters in.

 

They should schedule them towards the end of pre-season when the better players are available, maybe there's 1 or 2 exciting new signings and better fitness levels deliver a much better spectacle. Sure I get that might cause jetlag issues ahead of the season, but if we're back a week/10 days beforehand it shouldn't be that significant.

We've got a euro qualifiying 2 legged to get through.

Yes but generally these overseas ventures are always at the start of pre-season. If we're trying to show the club in its best light, staging them when the 'stars' are available and performing better makes more sense. Foreign revenues are going to be increasingly important and it just strikes me as odd that we put so much effort into publicising these games and then use players who'll barely get a game in the season. We should be putting on more of a show.

We should be preparing for the forthcoming season. Perhaps if there was no European Championships, no Olympics, and no meaningful game to play in a week's time, then a later game may have been possible.

You can see the thinking process though, re-inforcements/iron gates. Got to love the Twitter.

We should do the bare minimum to put on a show and do everything in our power to get the players right for our competitive fixtures.

Disagree. It goes without saying that preparing players for the season is important, but all our competitors are overseas as well so we're not at any major disadvantage. Commercial revenues will be vital to keeping us at the higher end of the table whilst we flounder on the new stadium. It's ultimately the key factor that prevents us from having Newcastle like revenues. It may not be the traditional way of doing things, or the best way to obtain optimum fitness, but these overseas games are important in expanding the fanbase and I think it would make for a better spectacle if we did things differently.
