Think the idea of giving Poch the best pre-season possible went out of the window directly the FA insisted that Kane, Pritchard and Carroll went to the E u21's, which with the u21 friendly before ensures they have insufficient rest between the end of the season and their u21 matches (regardless of Spurs week in the far east) and insufficient time afterwards....and the FA bringing the season forward by a week is just the icing on the cake
Sadly true. But I'm not sure that excuses having these additional games. If anything it's another reason not to have them.
Ah well.
