[Cripps_orig]

Manchester United are set to meet Barcelona in a pre season friendly in Gothenburg.

The game will take place on Wednesday August 8 at the Ullevi Stadium, which hosted the Uefa Cup Final in 2004.

The Premier outfit's chief executive David Gill told the club's official website: "Manchester United against Barcelona is one of the top fixtures in world football and we are delighted to work with GotEvent to bring this match to the beautiful city of Gothenburg.

"We have a large following throughout Scandinavia and it’s great that this match will form part of our preparations for the new season."

The pair last met on the 30th July 2011 in a friendly at FedEx field in Washington when a Michael Owen goal secured a 2-1 victory for the Red Devils.

The two sides also previously locked horns in the 2009 and 2011 Champions League finals, with the Catalan giants coming out victorious on both occasions.

Tickets will be released on Tuesday 3 July at 09:00 (local time) on www.ticnet.se.

Friendlies for all PL clubs

[hobson's choice]

[Cripps_orig]

Austria Wien 3-1 West Ham

Baldock scored for Hammers

[Cripps_orig]

The MLS All-Star first XI set to face Chelsea has been announced, and Thierry Henry, David Beckham and Landon Donovan have all been included.

The players, as voted for by fans, selected in the First XI will not necessarily be part of Ben Olsen's starting team for the All-Star match against the Blues on July 25, but all 11 players are considered All-Stars whether they make the field or not.

Sporting Kansas City had three players selected in the First XI, the most of any club, with goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen, midfielder Graham Zusi and defender Aurelien Collin all being voted in to the team.

All-Star first XI in full:

Name Club
Goalkeeper:
Jimmy Nielsen Sporting Kansas City

Defenders:
Steven Beitashour San Jose Earthquakes

Prem new boys READING thrashed AFC Wimbledon 7-0.

Simon Church led the way with a 15-minute hat-trick. Adam Le Fondre had notched twice to give Reading a 2-0 half-time lead, with the Royals’ other goals coming from Michail Antonio and Jordan Obita.

EVERTON were far too strong for Morecambe, running out 4-1 winners.

On target were Francisco Junior, Apostolos Vellios, Jack Rodwell and Victor Anichebe.

The match was a testimonial for Shrimps manager Jim Bentley and some charitable Everton defending allowed him to net a late consolation after coming on as a substitute.

Holman :bow:

[Munchies]

Ronaldo rocket BREAKS young fan's wrist in Bournemouth friendly... but he got a signed Real Madrid shirt to ease the pain!

‘I could see the ball coming towards me. It curled past the post and was going to hit my face – so I had to block it with my hand. My dad was sat next to me and ducked out of the way so I took the full force.’

Barca had to rummage in lost property for a kit I see.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

They have Song to keep Bayern out though!

This match has been reduced to 40 minutes per side too. :wacko:

[Niall_Quinn]

What happened to McClaren's Dutch accent? Why have him on the program if he's not going to do the accent?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pellegrino is managing Man City says Hoddle.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi going for goal, curls it just wide.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Last ditch Big Man tackle to deny Thiago.

[Cripps_orig]

Chelsea won 8-1

Lukaku 2, Ramires 2, Ba, Terry, Traore and Hazard

[McNamara That Ghost...]

8-1 or 7-0, what's better? :popcorn:

[Cripps_orig]

8-1 would put a team higher in the league than a 7-0

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That is true. We didn't concede though so I would say it's our result.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cerezo Osaka 1-0 Man Utd, Sugimoto.

Moyes. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

[Niall_Quinn]

Mediocre pre-season tour for Utd. Who could have guessed Moyes would establish himself so quickly.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

South China vs Spuds in the Asia Trophy third place play off is on at 11.

Not sure if Bale has recovered from his injured arse yet.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dempsey through on goal, should be easily put away, goes for the lob...over. :lol:

Defoe fails to score from about a yard out. :lol:

Defoe header, hits the post. :lol:

Third place on its way for the Spuds! :trophy:

Negredo eats mud. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pelanty to Citeh.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dzeko completely balloons it! :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gardner clears off the line to deny Jesus Navas.

Nastasic was stretchered off.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Negredo off, Barry on. Can't work out if that is a defensive substitution from Pellegrini or not.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Citeh 1-0 Sunderland, FT. They win the Asia Trophy. Off go the fireworks!

[Cripps_orig]

Suarez on the bench for Liverpool's game agaist Thailand. :popcorn:

You said agaist :haha:

[Cripps_orig]

Man City 5-3 AC Milan

Silva, Richards, Kolarov and Dzeko 2

[Cripps_orig]

Juventus 1-1 Everton

Everton win 6-5 on penalties.

Pirlo missed the penalty.

England :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

Bayern taking city to school. There's a gulf in class between these teams. city are a bit of a joke really, all that money and they are extraordinarily ordinary. Bayern players can pass. I really think we should learn how to do that because it would improve our game massively.

[Niall_Quinn]

Bad miss Mr Mueller - offside anyway. Schweigsteiger is 'king awesome. A precision machine.

So glad he plays for us.

[Niall_Quinn]

city hanging on by a thread. The arab bloke's chequebook is on the sub's bench - bring it on FFS!

[Niall_Quinn]

Jovetic almost sneaks one - against the run of just about everything. So glad we signed him.

[Niall_Quinn]

Meuller is definitely their weak link. Ordinary player. He scores goals but there are plenty of better players who could score more given all the chances.

[Niall_Quinn]

Smart passing, walked right through the city defence. Wasted again though.

[Niall_Quinn]

Bad foul on Ribery by Boyata. The commentators thought it was okay at first glance but on the replay it was so obviously a foul. But they couldn't bring themselves to admit it.

[Niall_Quinn]

Terrible miss by Negredo. Right in front of goal, heads it back to the keeper. He looks desperately overrated, no natural talent there. Then immediately fucks it up again. Glad we didn't waste cash on this bloke.

[Niall_Quinn]

HT 0-0

8-1 Bayern wouldn't have been unfair but the Germans wasteful in front of goal. Negredo looking awful.

[Niall_Quinn]

Not a bad match now. city have decided to move the bus off the pitch.

[Niall_Quinn]

Negredo nicks one in Nick Bendtner style. He's a battering ram by the look of it. But defender gave it to him.

[Niall_Quinn]

Bayern rely a lot on Schweinsteiger and Robben, when they aren't there the quality drops a lot.

[Niall_Quinn]

1-1 Meuller pen. Dodgy decision but funny nonetheless. Stupid commentators are whinging over a pen given in a friendly. Authorities need to step in and look at it apparently :doh:

[Niall_Quinn]

Greedy piggy Nasri goes alone and fucks it up. Awful player.

[Niall_Quinn]

Mandzukic 2-1 Bayern

[Cripps_orig]

Real Madrid 3-1 LA Galaxy

Di Maria and Benzema 2

Chelsea 2-0 Inter

Oscar and Hazard

[Cripps_orig]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Monaco 1-0 Spuds at HT, Raggi with the goal. This is on ITV4.

Rhiannon Jones is the presenter, never seen her before.

Barcelona annihilated Santos 8-0 yesterday. :lol:

Pele. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Monaco 2-0 Spuds, Ocampos.

Spuds. :haha:

Embarrassed by a newly promoted side. :whistle:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Monaco 4-1 Spuds, Kane for the Spuds. Falcao with the other two for Monaco. :bow:

[Cripps_orig]

Don't like Falcao much anymore
