For me every result was totaly expected, it all went just the way it was supposed to, think it would of been just as beneficial to of played the Farmers Arms, Red Lion and The Wheatsheaf around by ours rather than fly off all round the world as its the same quality however that's a different topic.
The big worry for me is that we are playing Stoke next week and we still haven't faced a decent team or played in a proper football country and Include the Celtic game this weekend, the best team we have played has been Preston, just feel we needed to play at least one team better than us to set us up for the opener next week, just feel we could of prepared better instead of chasing the dollar instead of what's best for the team, just my opinion tho... How was playing Olympiakos at home was chasing the dollar? Anyway who cares what you say. I dont get you mick. You say we need money and have issed the boat on the stadium ect. But then you scoff at us trying to widen our globel brand and get money in. What is bad about getting abit of confidence anyways ? When its about the team, there not good enough, there is no chance of finishing fourth ect. but then when we try to get in money and franchising we would be doing more for the team.. does anything about the club make you happy ? not much at all makes me happy with the club these days but back to the football topic. I just think for the good of the team we would of benefitted more from playing for the first couple of pre season games maybe a Preston which we did, Tranmere, Bristol City, Huddersfield, then stepped it up to a few first division teams maybe a Bolton or Leeds then have a curtain raiser against a top European Club like Dortmund, Athletico or Monaco am sure that sort of build up would if prepared us better for Stoke City than teams from non footballing countries where the only reason we went was to make money, what next tour of India, Pakistan or Canada...

So in other words IT IS NOT ok to call Man Utd Scum, but IT IS ok to call countries like Australia, Thailand, India, Pakistan and Canada non football countries?
I'm glad you are not CEO at LFC, that's for sure!

Haha!
You are funny!
So as a consequence of what you just said: Since England hasn't won anything significant in football since 1966, you might argue that England isn't a footballing country either.
England is much better at Cricket and Rugby than they are in football!
You can't just take a píss on countries who are proven to have club teams, leagues and National teams set up to play football. Australia usually feature in the World Cup, so how you can be so derogatory against them is beyond me.

England is and always has been a disgrace internationally however it has always had one of the strongest domestic leagues in the world so that's why it has always maintained its football hotbed reputation. Unfortunately countries like Austrailia, India, Africa, Pakistan, Ireland, Jamaica or the USA has never had a good national team or national league so are seen as countries were other sports rule...

I think with the players they have recently signed they would of provided us with a sterner test which in turn would of provided better preparation for the Stoke match in my opinion. I think we should of played a few weak teams right at the beginning of pre season then a few middle teams and then ended with maybe two matches against top opposition who would seriously ask us a few questions, this is what I think anyway... Football replies most welcome...

Yeah I agree about playing some top level teams but Monaco are not a European powerhouse by any stretch of the imagination...
They may well be in the near future but at present, no, not at all.

Football replies most welcome... We could still have done that after going to the far east ect. Hasn't Arsenal done that and Chelsea played Real Madrid...in the US. As most big teams are going for tours outside UK, the easiest way to play them might be to play them abroad. Quite logical actually

Quite logical actually I know the first few games of the season will tell us more but I really do feel the pre season we have had has been terribly thought out and will cost us dear, maybe not financialy wise but football wise, hope am wrong but dont think I am...
