If we weren't in Europe we'd probably get really good numbers for this friendly. Still be a fairly decent turnout I'd guess.

Anyone know the logistics of this? Is it possible to fly to Barcelona, have a jolly old weekend and get a train to this game or something? I like the idea of it but not keen on hiring a car
I'm sure the Spanish lads will have a decent grip on this, but it looks perfectly feasible. Looks like the fast train takes 40 mins no changes (possibly no stops?). Prices look reasonable too, less than €15 each way by the looks of things.
I'm sure it's easy enough. I am tempted to go but being honest I'll probably end up saving my money and leave for a CL game or two instead.
Let's play spot the players
No Edwards?
Wasn't seen in the training pics - but not everybody was so it means nothing, yet !
Possible starting XI vs Roma on 26th
-------------Gazza
Aurier----Foyth----CCV----Davies
-------Winks----Wanyama
Sissoko----Lamela----Lucas
------------Llorente

Many of these players have a great opportunity to cement places before the World Cup team get back. Winks in particular could play so well he cannot be left out.
Can easily see Aurier, Winks, Lamela and Lucas starting against Newcastle.
I'm actually beginning to get a bit concerned about the amount of players who won't have any pre-season training. Just not enough time to have a decent rest and then get back to top level fitness and match sharpness. Hope Poch & co. have the squad members up and running to fill in. I think we're going to need them.
Just checked train prices - €200-250 return from Madrid, fuck that
Wow! Surely a flight is cheaper? Have you looked at flying to Barcelona and then getting a train?
I haven't had the chance to check out travel yet but the Mrs is up for a trip away for the weekend, both spent some time in Girona and love it. I like Barcelona but will always stay in Girona instead nowadays, takes about 45mins by train, from memory it's about £10-£15.
