Why did I just read that in an American accent as if I was advertising it on tv.

I like us playing in the States for pre-season, no idea why. Better than just throwing up a bunch of Blackburn, Bolton and Stoke before playing Real Betis at home

Reckon we'll have 1 home friendly the weekend after, and a week before the start of the season.

I like it being sorted, and being back in the US, but us playing on the MetLife turf terrifies me.

I disagree. I've enjoyed the North West away days the past couple of seasons.
Had a great time at Preston last season. Had a great time calling at every pub on the way to the ground.

Kind of sums up Dyche, a bit of a pub crawl.

Like America.
Not a big fan of just playing 3 premier league teams out there though.

Us playing Man United at Old Trafford a week before the season under Benitez was a mental decision, got twatted 4-0 as well.
Not sure it was as bad as whatever Martinez was doing after the world cup.

It'd be nice if they played west of the Mississippi.

Can't be that far for you to drive? Bet you could do it in a couple of hours.

Yea I'm a fan of a US trip. Top facilities, decent opposition, warm weather training. Our pre-seasons have felt a bit amateur the last few summers, good to be going into something more professional. Moyes was always a fan of taking the lads over to Austria for some high altitude training as well, I seem to remember. Wouldn't be surprised if that was back on the cards.

Perhaps if I were driving a Citation X.

Growing numbers of people boycotting US products and the US generally.
I imagine not many will agree but I'd like to see us cancel the US tour and make alternative plans.
