Week before big kick off against Arsenal. Nice but slightly bizarre.

Huws will definitely be playing

Looks like NQDP Towers will be a bolt hole for MCF.net on tour then :-)

As things stand, there's no one but some of the maids living in the west wing of the mansion right now. There should be enough room for roughly 350 people to stay comfortably.

will the game be on tv?

what kit will we be wearing?

And who will the ref be? Bloody hell you would have thought people would have got the hang of this by now!

This could be a good excuse for another cheeky trip to Helsinki!

Miikka, I'll be in touch!

Can someone please list all the pre-season games between now and the start of the next season? We have Barclays Asia trophy, that Audi cup in Germany, this Helsinki game ... what else? And mention dates pls.!!

My sauce is wiki so forgive me if these are wrong:

Football Invitational in support of Mandela Day
Two games versus South African Premier League clubs on 14th July & 18th July (probably Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates as they seem to be the only two teams in South Africa)

2013 Premier League Asia Trophy

24th July v South China FC Semi Final
27th winner/loser v play the winners/losers of Tottenham v Sunderland Final/3rd placed playoff

2013 Audi Cup
31st July - 1st August - 2 games against Bayern Munich, San Paulo and/or AC Milan (Manchester City 2010)

No confirmation on the referee's yet.

Just get the team to bring the Aquavit with them. Should be faster than the 'shipping' method

Apparently everything's sorted but the deal will be signed early this week and it will officially be announced on Wednesday. Tickets to be on sale from June 10th.

USA, South Africa, Germany, China and Finland.

Not long ago I watched us at Torpoint, Newquay, Exeter and Plymouth, with more northerly options being Macclesfield, Stockport and Doncaster kickers.

When I was very young, I and a couple of mates sent a letter to Brian Horton telling him he needed to sign Ugo Ehiogu. In reply, we were sent a 5 page glossy magazine signed by the entire squad, with photos from their 'tour' of the Isle of Man.

Keep hold of that mate. I bet there are hardly any of them in the world.

What I would give for a tour of Torquay, Newquay, Exeter and Plymouth now. Even a day out to Tranmere would scratch the itch.

I'm going with West Didsbury & Chorlton AFC on a tour of the Isle of Man in July. Absoultely giddy with excitement.

20 years ago this summer i went over to holland to watch us play a preseason friendly against halsteren, an amateur side from the dutch village where i lived for 6 years from 80-86. a typical city performance saw us lose 2-1...

The perfect hosts. Its rude to enter someone else's house and then smash at their own game.

Confirmed now

I was kind of hoping that City would've asked for certain allocation to sell themselves, would've been ace to have all City fans in one section

29 Euro for a pre season friendly. Madness.
