Cheapens it for me. All about the money now. Fa Cup replays are too much but let's fly around the world and play a meaningless friendly that won't add to fatigue at all.

So two teams 4 miles apart play each other 6,000 miles away.

Carbon-neutraltastic!

It is fucking ridiculous. The next time we hear a manager complaining then about tiredness there is zero leeway. These tours are utterly pointless and the game could be played in England. There is no need to fly halfway around the world for these tours. I know they get paid well but so does finishing higher up in the league than 15th or worse

It's a bit like last season when the team flew to Australia for an off season game against Newcastle.

The game is just shit nowadays when clubs see these tours as part of the season. They’ll say it’s so foreign fans can see the team but that’s bullshit, it’s so they can make a few million quid, which in the grand scheme of things will mean very little.

I remember the players going to a petting zoo and had their photographs taken with a Koala, seemed to be some sort of public relations event. Pretty sure it was an idea because of Postecoglou being our Australian manager, it'll have been Levy trying to whip up support and milking the situation. He's also known in Japan, so again, it's milking the connection. Maybe this is an indication that he won't be sacked?
