Barcelona (A) - Charity Friendly | Wed 24th Aug 20:30 | Pre-Match Thread

A good cause, but timing sucks, expect to see 2nd tier players getting a run out. Seems Barcelona love slagging us off, but reach out with the Pep connection when they want to

However, think of the cost of the private Etihad plane to fly the squad out, hotels, transport etc etc. If all the players and management donated one days pay, it would raise a significant amount.

Ridiculous thing to do. Honestly at times this club baffle me

A club with nothing but contempt for us and we are going to knacker our players after the season starts. Wouldn't be so bad if it was pre season.

I would sooner have a friendly with Rochdale, for Rochdale charities, than with a club that would love to destroy us.

What next? Friendly at Anfield with Liverpool, arriving in an open-top bus so the bricks are more effective?

I wouldn't mind going to Barca. How many tickets are we going to get?

Am asking the same question
It's my grandson birthday that day
A nice trip to Barcelona seems a good idea. CTID

So what ? It's a decent cause for somebody they all know. I'd expect them to be open to it.

I missed that it was a charity thing...soz

They’ve reported us to UEFA and playing a friendly, don’t get it

Did you hear what Laporta was saying about us today?

Doubt we'll risk any senior players for it anyway, will be a mixture of kids and fringe players.

And Mendy. Maybe.
