I'm going, the Man U youngsters will play better football than what we'll see over the rest of the season!

Man United are playing a youth team Are they going to throw in a few old pros as well? What about the "stars" that have just got back from the world cup? |

There must be a record somewhere. It was sold at the auction. I bet someone has it in their back garden. Campaign to find the arch and buy it back! |

I've always thought - from a football perspective - that these games against the Man U youth are pretty pointless.
I mean we're going to be playing against a bunch of supremely talented kids, who'll all be incredibly technically gifted but probably won't be up for much of a physical battle. Or in other words, exactly the opposite of what we're going to be facing day-in day-out in League Two.
Obviously it's going to be great for fleecing money out of plastic Oxfordshire Man U supporters - and that's clearly a good thing - but from a footballing perspective, I'm certain that the Leicester game will have been more use and maybe we could have done with another game or two against a League One or Conference side? Someone closer to the level we're going to be playing at (although the Scots were probably about right too)........

Someone closer to the level we're going to be playing at (although the Scots were probably about right too)........ I dont think there's any denying that but if it makes us £75k then Im happy. As you state in your post. I also agree though that our pre season doesn't look a particularly robust test. Are we playing Oxford City this year or have I completely missed it? We normally start with that game. Perhaps Junior has got his way and we're not playing them after the horro tackle?! ;D I do think we should really have tried ourselves out against a Yeovil or a Tranmere type opposition this weekend this giving them still a week to recover from any knocks. |

I think you're right Tony - it's an opportunity to make some cash rather than a valid footballing test. My kids have season tickets but they've bugged me to go along so I'll be there.
You can see what it means to Man U in that there doesn't seem to be a mention of the game anywhere on the reserves site, let alone the main one.
