[matthew.absurdum]

According to various Hong Kong media, it is very likely (not 100% though) that we are going visit Hong kong after this season (End of May or June). The opponent will be Kitchee FC (Their most famous player is former HSV player Lam Zhi-Gin).

If you know Chinese, here is the link....

We need to play all pre-season stuff at Wembley to make it feel at home.

If we don't I'd be gob smacked.

Fuck that, went last time we played there. We lost to a team playing in Arsenals kit. Got racially abused on the metro by some old woman ranting and raving about birdflu. Got charged about £300 in some restaurant in Kowloon only for everybody to no understand engrish when i complained!
Stayed in a hotel with a swimming pool on the roof though and filmed some Chinese bloke singing Green Green Grass of Home at the hotel Karaoke night. Priceless.

I live in HK and I can tell you that's a pretty standard day out!

Sorry I could not find any english media covering the news when I opened the thread. But they are reporting the words from Kitchee's chairman, so it should be reliable enough

Spurs join Euro giants in US pre-season cup

Tottenham Hotspur are close to reaching an agreement to join Manchester United and Manchester City as the Premier League’s representatives in this summer’s International Champions Cup (ICC) in the United States.

Chairman Daniel Levy has already forged strong links in America by agreeing a ten-year deal to stage at least two NFL games at the their new stadium from the 2018-19 season. In the latest indication of his determination to increase Tottenham’s presence in that lucrative market, Mauricio Pochettino’s preparations for next season will begin in the ICC’s flagship tournament, which will also feature Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain.

Tottenham played in the ICC’s subsidiary event in Australia last summer, with matches against Juventus and Atletico Madrid at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, and this year will feature in the bigger tournament for the first time.

The club have yet to sign a contract with the ICC and have other offers on the table, but negotiations are understood to be at an advanced stage and an announcement of the completed line-up is expected at a press conference in New York later this month.

The involvement of both Manchester clubs in the American edition of this summer’s ICC was already known and negotiations over the final fixture list are taking place, including the possibility of them playing each other in the first Manchester derby outside England.

Post season friendly?
Just don't forget that the FA cup final is on saturday the 27th

As for pre season, I guess it was given that we'd go back to USA again. Every other year as planned.

We should do but I bet we won't. Far too sensible.
