So Players are back and shortly off to Austria where they will play St Gallen before playing Brentford.
This can be the thread for friendlies, ticket info, team news even match day comments.
But I will start it off with a question.
Guess how many pre-season friendlies we have managed to arrange?
2?
Precisely.
Now begins the fun, when has ANY Professional Football Club ONLY arranged 2 pre season games?
I reckon there will be at least another one arranged.
I think there will be another 2.
Away trip to Tranmere and tell VVD this is as close as he is getting to Liverpool?
Don’t we have that St Mary’s Cup thing? Remember seeing something about us, Chelsea, Porto and Deportivo La Coruna
Hope so. The new boss to get us into a semi final of a Cup this early in the season 
At least a total of 5 games for first team. 
Otherwise I will complain with lots of vim and vigour 
As a comparison, under Judas

IF ONLY
I could copy that photo of VVD would make a classic Caption Comp
Loving the positive energy here
Vigil boards a plane to Blackpool Airport…should wind-up the bin-dippers. 
Virgil has one last longing look at @jurgenklopp before boarding the return flight to Southampton from Squires Gate
Hope they checked that rucksack at Security.
I don’t want to be hearing Breaking News on Sky about a crazed man beleived to have a bomb in his rucksack has just hijacked a plane and demanding that the pilot takes him to Liverpool 
VVD thought bubble as he is boarding … This plane looks shit compared to the sexy little exec jet Yurgey Boi sent down to pick me up. I bet there isn’t a bunch of roses and a box of chocolates waiting by my seat for me either.
Or … Why the fuck is VVD looking so grumpy … he’s getting his wish … he’s going to play in Europe. Selfish little cloggie.
Where’s Bednarek?
