2024-25 EPL Season

[S E P H]

How are you going on a preseason tour a week after losing the Europa final? This is nonsense scheduling and losing to a bunch of SE Asian players has to be peak United. I love this club, never change lol.

Post-season friendlies have become more common in the last few years, unfortunately

Newcastle and Spurs(?) left to play in Australia immediteley after their last games of the season. I don't know how much they got paid for that but United reportedly are getting paid £8 million for these two games. The players seemed to have as much interest as I did in watching the game, which was almost none.

Becoming more common to squeeze every last drop of revenue they can for PSR purposes

Things continue to spiral for United. Currently down 1-0 to Hong Kong on the doom tour

It's a friendly...not sure why it matters. Glancing at the score, it appears that something like 25 outfield players have been on the pitch at one point for United and 20 for the opponents.

It was their only shot in the first half. Heaton would probably want that back.

Obi equalized.

And just scored a second.

The pitch looks horrendous out there. Playing at 27°C and 76% humidity WITH RAIN is certainly not what I'd call good football weather.

Edit: Heaven heads in a cross, 3.-1

Take that, Hong Kong dentists, clerks and plumbers! You aint shit.

I think it's more the continued nonsense

It was a joke last year too. None of the players wanted to take part and the whole thing was widely (rightly) criticized. I hope we never do it again.

Sadly teams will keep doing it as long as they're getting paid.

And for some teams, if they need the money for PSR reasons.
