ncfcstar 287 Posted May 11, 2009 Notice how the can''t bring themselves to write the 2009/10 League ONE season will start of August 8th. Oh dear. How embarrassing that we now are seen as inferior opposition for someone like Wigan to play in a pre-season friendly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shaun Tilly Lace 0 Posted May 11, 2009 Do you think it will be a recognisable Man Utd XI though? I remember Arsenal and Chelsea reserve teams coming to play our reserves, and there wasn''t one player I had heard of playing for them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Smith 2,314 Posted May 11, 2009 No way in thw world I will be at either of these. a game against the man U youth team with the stadium packed full of c**ts from Norfolk bedecked in their Man United shirts and then a friendly against tinpot (but well run) team who should be in league 1 where we now find ourselves - talk about rubbing it in!

Tim Allman 1 Posted May 11, 2009 Man Ure are away in China, so I presume they will be bringing a bunch of youth team players and cast-offs, to play our bunch of youth team players and cast-offs.Luckily I''m away on holiday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stephen Hawkings Football Boots 0 Posted May 11, 2009 I cant wait to see us pummeled by a bunch of kids that no one has ever heard of. Why have we got so many friendlies anyway, the sqaud will be knackered and the injury list will be so long that we''ll have to bring in loads of loans. 10 games in 22 days. At the moment we''re only got about 20 players signed up for next season including the older youth players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted May 11, 2009 Of the two I might go to the Wigan game. At least I''ve heard of Rodallega and Figueroa, unlike any of the Man U reserves.Possibly a chance to see Sitonyourarski''s return to Carrow Road, who could ever turn that down???

Jim Smith 2,314 Posted May 11, 2009 Just to point something else out.We now have confirmed a tour of Scotland and friendlies against teams managed by Steve Bruce and Alex Ferguson. I wonder what this tells us about who might be our manager! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AJ 1,218 Posted May 11, 2009 I think of it less as a friendly, and more of a target practice for our keeper.If it gets so bad, we can always pretend it was a cricket match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wonder Wiganer 0 Posted May 11, 2009 Why all the moaning about Wigan. At the end of the day they are a Premiership team who are going to play a friendly agianst League 1 opposition. Yes we have humble beginnings but a Chairman who has backed us to the hilt. I was at Wigan when we won League 1, and I hope that Norwich can do the same.

gazzathegreat 0 Posted May 11, 2009 Wonder Wiganer - I will probably go to the Wigan game, as it''s likely to be a real genuine team out there and I have no problems watching a friendly against your team, the Man U XI don''t think so, but I suppose it''s easy cash for NCFC from the multiples of sad little gloryhunters.

Theres only one Ken Foggo 0 Posted May 11, 2009 It''ll be similiar to Bryan Gunn''s tesimonial in 1996 when United sent a team made up of reserve and youth players plus Eric Cantona!The Wigan match definitely more interesting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fair play Wigan have done well and no doubt you are not excited about a friendly against a league 1 team but don''t expect us to be excited about a game against the mighty Wigan Athletic. Frankly it was embarrassing enough to have to take a loan player off you! It really rubs it in how badly we have been run in comparison. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
