    3pm today at SJP.

    I heard Muto won't play but Kenedy should be back. Last pre-season game so this should be more about playing as a unit, ready for Spurs next week, rather than a run out and getting fit. Meanwhile, Tottenham have beaten Roma 4-1, drawn 2-2 with Barcelona, and beat AC Milan 1-0. Different level altogether.

    I'm actually not overly worried. Rafa is too smart and if things are bad with the regime he'll use it as leverage to motivate the players and create a siege mentality. The squad is inherently capable (of survival) and he'll find a way to get the best out of them over time. The same team finished 10th last season and we have a couple of minor improvements. The only thing I'm really worried about is if he walks. Then we are ****ed.

    How much are the tickets? Read they’re £20 which if true is an absolute rip off for a friendly.

    On the gate, but it was less if you booked ahead I believe. Still, £20! Not going myself. Will probably see if there is a stream.

    it was £10 if you got your ticket in advance
    but the club believes that putting the price up on the day is a good marketing strategy
    and will stop the nutters just turning up on the day pissed

    Darlow, Yedlin, Lascelles, Clark, Dummett, Ritchie, Hayden, Diame, Atsu, Perez, Joselu

    Subs:, Elliot, Sterry, Manquillo, Schar, Shelvey, Longstaff, Ki, Roberts, Kenedy

    Clark starts and we only have 9 Subs on the bench and 3 are youth players and one of them is Manquillo.

    We barley have a squad to put out <doh>
