Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur Premier League post-season Australia trip slammed by Alan Shearer

Former Newcastle great Alan Shearer said Newcastle's post-season trip to Australia was "madness".Newcastle play Tottenham on Wednesday at the MCG and then an A-League All Stars team at Docklands on Friday

The Premier League's all-time record goalscorer, who later managed hometown club Newcastle, added: "I wouldn't be happy at all.Newcastle defender Kieran Trippier, who is expected to be in England's Euros squad, had already questioned the timing of the trip."I understand why the club are doing it. I've done it at Tottenham and Madrid but from my own experience of it, in a tournament year it's not ideal.

Tottenham have been more relaxed about their trip, in part due to having an Australian coach in Ange Postecoglou, who will be returning home to Melbourne, but mainly due to having had a less-demanding season. "I don't think it's ideal. But I think each situation is unique. For us, on the back of our season, to play one more game two days after the end of the season, there is substance to it for us."

Last month, the Football Association provoked the ire of the lower reaches of the football pyramid by scrapping replays in its flagship tournament, the FA Cup, to allay fears predominantly from teams that play in European competition — although such measures appear somewhat moot when those clubs then arrange overseas tours.
