Watch Friendly Tottenham Hotspur v Olympiakos Free Live Online Stream

For Tottenham final pre-season game, some may have been underwhelmed at facing Olympiakos, but at the same time will have almost certainly ignored their dominance in their domestic game.

Although the Greek league doesn`t start until a week after our own, we shouldn`t underestimate their preparations to pre-season. Already with two Champions league qualifying win`s against Slovan Bratislava they will be prepared and fit. Slovan are hardly Barcelona, but they were still games that potentially have a massive impact on the season`s hopes and no doubt finances.

Spurs will again probably look to play a decent number of players, to give as many as possible an opportunity to shine and get minutes on the pitch, but we can surely expect a debut from Peter Crouch and perhaps a glimpse of Sebastien Bassong, If he has been registered in time.

St Mirren have lined-up a glamour pre-season friendly at Premiership club Wigan Athletic.

Gus MacPherson’s side stepped in to fill the void when Wigan’s initial opponents on Saturday, August 8, Spanish club Almeira, pulled out due to the perceived risk of swine flu.

MacPherson reckons the match will provide a welcome challenge for his players, similar to that faced in last week’s 4-0 defeat to Italian side Chievo.

“Going down to face a Premiership side so close to the season starting will be really good for the players,” MacPherson told the St Mirren website.

“We were watching the situation after we saw that Almeira had cancelled their match with Swansea and we knew that Wigan were scheduled to play them.”

He added “I’m sure we’ll see a really tough game as we are going up against Premiership opposition, which will be another really good test for the players as the Chievo game was. That was a fantastic education for the players.”

Blues v Sporting Gijon Pre-Season Friendly St. Andrew’s Stadium
Saturday 8 August, kick off 3pm.

Blues pit themselves against top flight Spanish opposition when they host Sporting Gijon in their only pre-season friendly at St. Andrew’s on August 8.

Both sides have been extremely busy during the summer transfer window, with Blues signing no less than eight players and their Spanish counterparts five, so expect plenty of new faces to be on show.

Real Sporting de Gijón returned to La Liga for the 2008/09 season after a ten-year hiatus from the top flight of Spanish football.

It was a moment to treasure for the Asturias club and its fanatical band of supporters following a decade out of the limelight.

Nicknamed the Rojiblancos, which translates as the ‘red and whites’ due to the colour of the stripes on their kit, Sporting Gijon may never have won major silverware but they have a proud history.
