Statements fromdDome and reporting in our media have misled many over who we could expect to play in these games.
Any follower of english football knew that world cup players would never be coming.
Now it's going to be a beat-up of the phoenix for newcastle bringing a soft team, despite everyone knowing that from the beginning.
Hell I even saw discussion of Loic Remy in early reports when this tour was announced, he was only on friggin loan at newcastle last season and was never ever going to be associated with this tour.
27,000 out of 30,000 who will be at Westpac won't give a fuck.
Yea just wanna clarify, I'm not whinging about the world cup players not coming, im one of the 27k who dont give a f*ck, I'm just whinging about the widespread reports in the media claiming debuchy, krul and even remy (!) would be coming and thus creating an expectation which was never going to be fulfilled - and it wasnt helped by dome appearing to back that up.
The phoenix dont deserve a beat-up over this whatsoever but i fear that's what we'll get from the dompost etc. Hopefully not.
I'm blimmin stoked about this whole thing, the chance to see 2 epl teams whatever the lineups may be.
