Newcastle play Spurs in Australia the week after the season ends. Eddie Howe and his players are not impressed and I guess the Spurs contingent are not either.
When they arrive back some of them will be getting ready to go to the Euros.
Absolutely bonkers, money talks I guess.

    As long as there are no England players in either squad that are likely to be picked for the Euros then it sounds like a great idea to me

    The sponsors will want everyone there. This is partly a result of the sustainability thing, isn't it? Having to maximise football revenue. Or perhaps just greed, I don't know. Anyway when they start complaining about fixture congestion, remember this.

    Spurs (and probably others) have been doing this for a few years now. 

    I never want to hear Premier League managers moan about how many matches they have to play ever again

    We haven't done an end of season friendly in years.
    Absolute load of b*ll*cks but I suspect its to do with the big Australian fanbase we've acquired since Big Ange has taken over.
    Spurs' chief football officer Scott Munn is also an Aussie.  It figures.

    Those games don't make any money.

    The FA needs to stamp this nonsense out, but they won't

    Well, to be perfectly honest, I don't support Spurs or Newcastle, so I really don't give a monkey's.

    Newcastle are playing Spurs on 22 May and the A-League all-stars on 24 May.

    The timing is ridiculous given the PL season doesn't end until early evening on the 19th. Now whilst i'm sure they won't be flying in a cramped economy class, flying for the best part of an entire day to then play 2 games in 48 hours is crazy.

    We can cross reference this thread with the one about the climate emergency. Totally unnecessary flights. Still - let’s just crack on…

    When Liverpool played Man Utd in a friendly in Bangkok two years ago, tickets started at over £100 and the most expensive were £500! It pretty much sold out as well.

    Give it a few years and they will be playing league matches abroad. Similar to the NFL London matches.

    I strongly suspect it won't be long until the Community Shield is played abroad.
