We really do have an inflated ego of ourself these days don’t we. Home friendlies against Real Madrid, AC Milan, Valencia, Hoffenhein, Napoli and away friendlies against good Championship opposition just isn’t good enough anymore apparently. What are we expecting, our own version of the Emirates Cup with Barca, Juventus and Bayern participating?! Maybe we could even get the winners of the World Cup to stop by for a celebratory friendly down Dean Court.
It’s not the quality of the opposition that has been a problem in recent years, it’s experimenting with different formations and line ups and thus not giving the first 11 a chance to play with each other before the 1st game.
