So are McDonald's and Coca-Cola but it doesn't stop them using more than half their budget on marketing.

Like all new promoted clubs their fans are full of confidence. Luton fans thought the home atmosphere would keep them up

Because of course there are not enough games played in the regular season and these precious little players are never knackered after playing so many games in a season
So I tell you what,we will shat on the FA cup replays so our darlings can get some beauty sleep, but so they don’t forget how to
Play footie by not having these replays we will instead fly then half way round the world to
Play meaningless games in foreign climates so the advertisers can show off a new logo. And of course they will all come back refreshed ready for another set of games
MODERN FOOTBALL IS TRULY SHIT.

Newcastle United will fly to Australia from Heathrow straight after their final game of the season at Brentford to play two friendly games.
This is a group of players in which several will be involved in the European Championships a couple of weeks later.

A bit of enthusiasm and optimism is no bad thing – and why not go in like that, rather than cynical and pessimistic?Like all new promoted clubs their fans are full of confidence. Luton fans thought the home atmosphere would keep them up
Where it reaches Gold status is the likes of the Leeds 3-year plan when they came up a few seasons back:
– Year One: PL top 10, plus a domestic Cup Final
– Year Two: PL Top 4 and Champions League qualification
– Year Three: PL Champions
The absolute conviction with which they swaggered around other clubs' messageboards, informing us all that this plan was a nailed-on certainty "because Bielsa", was hysterical.
Have you accounted for the fact you'll need to go back in time to reach that part of the world?

To be fair I would have thought bloom and the chosen one would have had the same 3 year plan. Certainly we were told we would need to push on.
Can't argue with any of that.
Managers and players are constantly whining about fatigue and yet are quite happy to go off on these pre-season tours around the world to play totally pointless and meaningless games with the added risk of injury. The club putting money before the players' welfare? Looks like it doesn't it.
If players and managers are truly concerned about fatigue as a result of playing too many games then they need to step up and do the Zammo. Just say NO!

That bad is it? For the travel part I just researched train times and fares. As for the locals, now that is an unknown quantity. I did go to Norwich for our last away fixture there. The pony and trap was fine.
