'Prestigious' friendly

[HeCanDoMagic]

Was mentioned by Brannigan that we were lining up a prestigious friendly for pre-season as part of the 125 celebrations.

With the obvious links my guess would be Fenerbache.

But who would your ideal game be, for personal reasons and not just Barcelona 'because their the best team'.

I'd love AC Milan, not the force they once were but I had a Marco Van Basten Milan shirt at an early age that I loved and since then followed all their games and results so it'd be great to play them.

Yours?

Be interesting with the Tevez factor!

Is there another team with a 125th birthday? We could have a joint party? (No smoking of course )

Looking at that list and Knowing us we'll just have the Brentford home league game as the 125 celebration game!

Aren't we still owed one by L*eds?

Ooh I don't know Linz, looking through that list the thought of Burghead Thistle or Middlesbrough Ironopolis might bring in a couple of hundred spectators if we're lucky.

 

[Linz]

I've got a feeling that I know who the club are aiming for... but I'm keeping quiet as this may have changed.

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

Would hardly see Fenerbache as prestigious, there was more prestige when we played Estudiantes.

We need a 4 team tournament with Milan, Barca, Estudiantes and us

Barca? So Messi can finally get his hands on a Chris Porter signed shirt.

You can't leave us hanging like that! Come on, give us a clue...!

 

[moDtheGod]

Surely they don't come any bigger than the MASSIVE team up the road?

Away to Flamengo.

CCM - also a joint testimonial for Morgs and Monty.....

 

[sheffielder]

A list of the teams I follow from other leagues.

Juventus
Hearts - Cough
Barcelona
Ajax

I think it would be great to get either Rangers or Celtic down or both.

Pre season should be a good opportunity to look at bigger teams youths like Coady and look to get good loans in.

 

[Linz]

I was wondering what we were going to be doing this preseason (and whether to keep any holidays back) when I saw this:

So we might not be going anywhere!

Great. Cheers for that.

 

[Linz]

Great. Cheers for that.

You're welcome.

 

[Bladesman]

What a great match it would be to play Cirencester Town F.C.

 

[Jehovah]

How did Bournemouth get Real Madrid?

 

[TonyAgana]

Genoa

 

[WhiteHawk]

Juventus, Lazio, Atletico Madrid, Rangers, Celtic, Boca Juniors.

How did Bournemouth get Real Madrid?

By paying a lot of money, hence the £60 price tag for a ticket.

 

[davidpinder]

it will be Sheffield fc you just know it.

What's "prestigious" about a Friendly?

None competitive football is as pointless as show jumping (or Ice dancing,).

Chelsea/Man City in the Charity Shield if there has to be one.

 

[KingKeith]

I bet it will be one of the 2 Glasgow clubs! quite easy to tempt down. they will sell it that a Sheffield team used to play a Glasgow team etc etc.

 

[Bladesway]

Hearts - Cough

That doesn't even start to be funny.

Barca or Bayern. Anyone else is 2nd rate I'm afraid. If we are lucky Hearts won't even be in existance by the time the season ends

 

[moDtheGod]

Genoa

No, I've never met her. What's she like?

 

[2ndtenorblade]

Olympique de Marseille, then I can wear a (pale) blue and white shirt on the kop.

 

[GRUMPY BLADE]

Crook Town AFC

If they no longer exist I'm sure our piggy friends and West Ham could cobble a side together to represent them?
