Looking forward to this personally. Will be interesting to see if the other teams are of their 'calibre'.

Having seen NYRB play live, they're about the equivalent of a lower championship/league 1 side. Very slow & ponderous, including Thierry sadly. I'd be embarassed if we don't put at least 5 past 'em.

Word was doing the round in Barcelona that they (Barca) are taking part too. So we won't be winning the EC this year :lol:

Actually quite pleased about this. Only so many times I can watch PSG and Valencia. At least this is something fresh and different, and the return of AFC's greatest ever player. I'm there!

If you took the MLS All-star team, i'd reckon there about as good as a relegation Prem side or a Championship side

Not sure about Japan now after the earthquake, but I think a game in Malaysia against their national team is all but confirmed. Hope there's still a couple of interesting Eastern European aways pencilled in, love those offkey trips :barscarf:

Yeah I like the emirates cup, good to see teams from other cultures getting involved, and of course Thierry!
A pre-season trip to Asia can't be much worse than playing xlombathei or whoever we play currently :roll:
