pre-season

[PeregrineT]

What a jarg pre-season. State of them teams we're playing. Hardly competitive, is it?

A proper response to probably the best set of pre-season fixtures we have had in years.

Cracking pre-season that. Sion will be a nice littel game, Breman/Monaco toughies plus a european tournament assumingly in the algarve.

And a nice local game v Wigan.

Over the next 3months, I’m flitting a fair bit between NZ, Aussie, UK and USA and was hoping to pop into Liverpool for a pre-season game at Goodison.
So I am sure you can all understand my disappointment in hearing that we have no home games in the pre-season period.
I am not unfamiliar with Everton disappointing, but this occasion I find particularly egregious...and injurious to my spiritual well-being.
Really has brought me to my knees.

Blue Bill eh?...what a Chairman!!

yes its Bill's fault the stadium is having work done.

 

[andy4efc]

majority of pre-season will already be arranged and booked. Probably just waiting on a couple of things and they'll announce it all together.

Shock.

Yes, you and me are on the same page on this mate. Some folk on here genuinely feel Blue Bill cannot be responsible for booking the painter/decorators at such inopportune time. It’s ridiculous what that charlatan gets away with. The final straw for me was when @Bungle revealed Blue Bill billeting Qataran emigres in a kebab shop in Putney.
Like you mate, I’ve had enough!!

Well lets face it, after Wolfsburg/Hannover, it can only get better

Hannover was OK, not up to Dresden/Nürnberg/Vienna but wasn't expecting it to be. Bremen looks alright for a visit, although not too keen on Becks.

Went to the friendly, not the ECL game. Imo Wolfsburg was a *****hole. Hannover a bit better, but not really special.

Düsseldorf? I don’t know much about it apart from what I saw on Auf Weidersehn Pet.

Sad state of affairs if that's the best we can do.

You can imagine my fury mate. I’m not flying all the way to UK, only to be told I have to go to bloody Germany!!
Livid I am

It really does. Almost better of going to Turin than Geneva.

Approx 2 hours by train from Geneva - very scenic as well - dead easy.

We played Sion in Martigny a few years back - Bagnes is only a few stops on the train further on.
