Pre Season 2013

I think we are probably too scared to get humiliated by a big team in pre-season and have our morale affected for the start of the season. This is especially so when we always only sign new players on the last day of transfer window.

It worked a few years ago. Beat Roma 5-0, Bentley and Giovani on fire. Lost away to Boro on the first day and 7 games later we had a new boss!

Yeah I was thinking it would probably be between 25k-28k. We'll be gagging for a live footy fix by then, already booked the hotel for the weekend.
Once the fixtures are announced on the 19th we can book a few more
 
Espanyol aren't that bad.

Italian sides often don't seem bothered in pre-season friendlies.

Rather see an organized mid-table La Liga side than a glamorous side playing like a bunch of drunks.

Agree, I remember Getafe coming to the lane, albeit in the euro and was astounded by there all around play.
 
Wouldn't surprise me if they beat us to be fair. Spanish sides usually play very good football, Espanyol aren't a brick team. We were outclassed by Athletic Bilbao and Valencia in two previous Spanish encounters in pre-season. I just hope by then we have a new striker, creative midfielder and are ready to go into the new season all guns blazing.

Eh it's preseason. If we spend the whole game chasing the ball and improving fitness i think the club would be happy enough with whatever the result ended up being.

definitely. I couldn't care less about pre-season. I was just under the impression that people were quite sad with this game being announced and would have liked something bigger. Who cares!

They arent daft are they. At least we know we wont be playing on the Saturday on the 24th and 31st August due to the EL play-off games.
I assumed we would be having the home freindly on he 10th or 11th, so managed to get the Prem booked for 3 nights at the cheap rate a few weeks back
