Jase 43,479 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Either we or United will apparently be facing Barcelona in Qatar next month. I mean seriously, if this happens, it's even worse than the post-season friendlies!The Catalans have confirmed that as part of their sponsorship agreement with Qatar Sports Investments, a friendly will be played in Qatar during the first quarter of 2014.Sport understand that, barring any surprises, the game will be set during the month of February and that the opponents will be English, with a choice currently set between Chelsea and Manchester United.It is believed that facing Chelsea would be preferred option for the game’s sponsors, for the curiosity of seeing former Real Madrid Coach Jose Mourinho once more face the Blaugrana.Source - http://www.football-...-barca-friendlyClick here to view the article Stingray 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only feasible date is between FA Cup and Everton, but that seems unlikely considering we'd be travelling to Turkey the week after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only place to be 11,313 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Although I'm not the biggest fan of us playing in far-flung places like this, this is where the money. Not sure where it fits into the schedule though...could just send the kids team. The Skipper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liquidator 5,176 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Totally stupid. Defies logic. Wouldn't surprise me if that muggy berk Gourlay nominates us. I'm all for us meeting FFP but in the middle of the season? We don't need any more games, especially after last season. I doubt the Premier League/FA would let us move a fixture and there are no international breaks so we'd end up playing midweek as WHS mentioned. 7 hour flight, 3 hour time difference, so including the match that's at least 3 days of productive preparation gone, then back for our 12:45 Saturday kick off against Everton, one of the strongest teams in the league. Good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hjperdeath 2,226 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 It's Barcelona's deal though. The QTA has a huge tie up with both Barcelona and PSG. Barcelona also has Qatar Airways( best airline ever, trust me) and Qatar Foundation ( Strives for education and does a lot of charity work. Backed by the King's wife, extremely rich ) as one of their main sponsors, while PSG have Oredoo ( a telecom provider, one of the most popular ones here) . If any club's getting benefited from this, then it has to be Barcelona. Don't think Chelsea or United would get as much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HD3D 1,038 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I sincerely hope it's us. If they catch United, it won't even be fun to watch. The result will be a huge embarrassment to the EPL. Whereas if we have a quality striker by then, Barcelona will be facing someone of their own size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
