There was a pre-season match against West Ham in Australia this morning...

 

[Orifice]

In Australia.
As you do.

 

[Joe_Fox]

In Australia.
As you do.

There's worse places you could go.

 

[City Fan]

Pre season matches in Australia, without the TV revenue benefits.

Waste of money

Pre season matches in Australia, without the TV revenue benefits.

It was part of a tournament, televised in Australia.

I understand friendlies and pre season tournaments at ridiculous places if it has commercial benefits.

I highly doubt this Susan Whelan vanity project trip does.

 

[Blaarev]

Susan Whelan vanity project? Really?

 

[Jeff]

I understand friendlies and pre season tournaments at ridiculous places if it has commercial benefits.

I highly doubt this Susan Whelan vanity project trip does.

So why did PSG, Manchester City and West Ham also take part in the tournament?

Travel broadens the mind. Plus I'm sure a few weeks down under would be great for the team and help with unity and morale. Plus there certainly would have been some financial reward. Apart from all that, yeah I agree. A complete waste of time.

 

[City Fan]

Plus I'm sure a few weeks down under would be great for the team

Must. Not. Joke.

 

[Joe_Fox]

Must. Not. Joke.

I'm absolutely fine with you, or anyone for that matter, joking. The trouble I have is that I find it very hard to tell when you are joking.

 

[Blue Maniac]

Getting a kind of Inception vibe from this one

Interview with Amandine on the Guardian. Their season preview for us should also go up sometime soon:

Leicester’s Amandine Miquel: ‘I don’t like to do the same thing twice’

In an exclusive interview, the women’s team’s new head coach discusses tactics, being on Chelsea’s books as a youngster and why the only way is up

The Guardian predicts we'll come 7th this season - based on the performances in Perth and the summer's acquisitions, I think we might spring a few surprises on our way and could do better than that...

Women’s Super League 2024-25 previews No 7: Leicester

New manager Amandine Miquel has brought knowhow and humour into the setup and Leicester will hope to improve on last year’s 10th position

www.theguardian.com

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

7th would be a best ever finish if I'm not mistaken. Priority has got to be improving our defending....

So Liverpool will be playing towards the Kop end in both halves.
