Confirmed Pre Season 2026
That is Barcelona of the friendly list now then. Just shows the sorry state we are in that in pre season we can’t field a team for a friendly.
We could I suppose have got 4 or 5 ooc trialist to make up the numbers?

Just a suggestion to hide the total embarassment!
No offense but we dont need a raport with Barcelona anytime soon. More chance of needing 1 from a championship side the way we are going!just been on espn barcelona looking for someone to play at 24 hours notice disgrace does not cover it, any other club would move heaven & earth to play against this lot even the reserves / youth team, you dont fuk of barcelona you build a raport with them,

Such a Peter mentality.
We literally have former players at Barcelona and Real Madrid.
Icing on the cake that for me, absolute embarrassment and no professionalism from the club.
To have such a threadbare squad at this point and a handful of injuries tipping us to the point that we can’t field a team - it’s just the club all over.
To go from the proud moment we had with Liverpool at home last season - to this against Barcelona, it’s below amateur.
The local team I coach for would be in a far better position to facilitate this fixture and they aren’t even on the professional ladder - they’d also be able to field a fully fit squad as well.
The complete radio silence from the club is making this even worse. Our reputation was already in the gutter, there’s no one taking us seriously when we keep doing this.
After my lad’s first World Cup fully into football, I was looking forward to getting him into PNE and getting the bug like I did at his age - but how can you inflict this on a child 😂.
It needs to be sorted and this takeover needs to happen, or more generations will be lost.

My God we look shit.
Everyone from Iversen to Erabi just screams apathy and minimal application. Zero quality or composure.
I got that impression from the brig game. It felt like the Westley era, nobody seemed to give a shit.

Yep - awful from North Endabsolute embarrassment
Any comment from the club? Absolutely not. They never said it was happening and will now pretend it never was.
Can somebody please drag Ridsdale out of the door and put us all out of our misery.

Apparently we’ve cancelled the Barca game because we don’t have enough players. We are a shambles

Because aside from Storey, every single senior player and most of the kids with senior deals played on Saturday. A two day turnover would be risking injuriesHow the heck do not have enough players with this many under contract?

Lashers are probably correct that we offered the chance to play our U21s because we couldn’t risk the first team
Close this thread. The sooner we forget about this preseason the better.
