OK, bit premature maybe but, I'm hoping Moyes may do things a little different this time round.

I'm not sure our pre-season format is enough to get us up to speed and I hope we play a few european teams this time round rather than a couple of US sides and some 1st division stuff.

What would you do ?
 

Not get players injured Ohhh and not get players injured
sign the current crop with new contracts and get preseason shoppping done by july with abit of luck (y)
 
I'd invite the mls over to try and win their cup back off us for starters, we are the holders and we deserve the right to defend it.

Keep hold of it and refuse to return the thing.
We won it and it's ours now, you want it back then come and win it back!!


we could even make Landons mind up for him once and for all after the game. my guess is that he would put a blue shirt on there and then.
 
A few things to consider. Firstly most leading teams now appear to try and peak for the latter stages of the season, thus relying on latent quality to get through the early stages. We certainly seem to be in a similar vein and hopefully with a full squad to choose from will get a better return from the pre-Christmas period.

Secondly we have the World Cup this summer. History suggests that players that participate in this tend to struggle in the following season. We may benefit from this as I think the spine of our team will be fresh.

Howard is obviously going. In defence its unlikely Pip will go, whilst Baines is touch and go, as is Jags. Is Heitinga likely to be in the Dutch squad? In midfield Pienaar will be going but the likes of Arteta, Osman and Billy probably won't be, whilst Felli will hopefully be back fighting fit and Rodwell/Gosling will be a year further along. Up front is perhaps a little worse as it would seem likely that both Saha and Yak will go to South Africa.
 
A quick game on the local council pitch, traffic cones as goalpoasts...then down the nearest pub to get bladddered...well that's what happened in my day:unsure:

Oh OK, that will do, can Moyes and Round play on opposite sides and stick Chris Woods in goal. (y)
 
Back in my navy days, swings lighting fixtures and spills diesel fuel on deck for atmosphere, we all had to have a good working knowledge of everyone elses job. So Strikers in goal defenders swop with midfielders and goalies upfront. Kit man in charge and Moyes can make the tea.

On the other hand a quick 5 a side and down the pub is always a good choice.

A tour of South Korea would be unreal.

But I'd imagine much of the same. Austrian camp, USA, and then preston at Deepdale with perhaps Napoli at Goodison.

great pre-season prep dining on dog and live octopus,mmmmm here you are lads a snack for after training ....silkworm larvae, playing second rate teams on the other side of the world who's fans support man utd, besides pre-season is about bonding and watching porn, cant exactly do that there can they, Johnny H would end up locked up with the collection he undoubtedly takes to away games.

wasn't a rant of any kind, just stating how ridiculous your suggestion is, which is of course based in satisfying yourself and yourself only, yes of course you was joking which is why I gave that ridiculous answer.

Johnny H doesn't need porn he has gash on tap, and korean gash wouldn't be any different, apart from maybe a little younger.
