Cicero 5,267 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Been 7 years since we last won this and have been 0/3 in the last 3 attempts. Bound to win this sooner or later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluewolf 7,165 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I can just imagine it Arsenals win in the FA Cup managed to buy Wenger a stay of execution after a fairly woeful season but if we won this he would be straight back to square one with the 'Wenger Out' banners flying even before the season has even properly kicked off... Should have beaten you in the Cup but had that silly walk in the park mentality after winning the league and got what we deserved from it which was fuck all!

SirBalon 2,692 Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Defeat in this won't affect Arsene Wenger in the slightest if Arsenal sign a player or players that lift morale with the fans. But if the same happens as has been for so long, then it will whip up a storm. But the reality is that he will be judged on the Premier League season by the fans. Not that it will matter if we are shrouded in mediocrity at the end of the season, even if it's "successful" mediocrity in qualifying for the Champions League.

6666 1,310 Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Will Diego Costa play in this if he's still around after Conte told him he's a dog faced cunt that needs to fuck off or have Chelsea already moved past him and don't consider him to be a part of the new season's preparations?

The Artful Dodger 1,831 Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 They need to either make this a competitive game with proper rules like they do in Spain or scrap it. It's a friendly and a boring one at that, make it like the super cup in Spain which is a proper trophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True Blue 971 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Won 4 and lost 7 out of the total 11 we played. Lost it last season and walked the league, if that is what it takes then lets lose it again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cicero 5,267 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Batshuayi Pedro/Boga------------------Willian Alonso----------Cesc-----Kante----Azpilicueta Cahill----------Luiz-----------Rudiger Courtois Team I'd put out. Batshuayi has been on fire and deserves a start. Pedro depending on his fitness. Boga has looked decent in pre-season, just needs to work on his end product.

Pedro will probably wear a mask and i doubt he wasn't training at Cobham. That Cesc - Kante will get murdered, Cesc apart from being a great player is probably the slowest person in London. Michy earned a start, if Morata does i think Conte will make a mistake. Still needs time to settle and Michy is in his full power and knows the team.

Seriously lacking numbers at the moment. We could play a 3-5-2 but Cesc and Kante are our only CM. You could add Baker but he played at wing all pre-season.

He started Morata at the wing to get minutes, and Michy didn't deserve to be dropped. Enjoying the social media experts, flop after 70 minutes of pre season football.

The Palace Fan 3,409 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Got no idea what to expect. The Huddersfield in pre season have looked a lot more attacking than they ever did last season, and there fans are going to treat the occasion like a party. This could be the worst time to play them.

Toony 95 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Chelsea's squad is very thin, if they end up with a couple of key injuries this season they'll struggle to keep pace at the top unless they bring in some more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toony 95 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Huddersfield & Brighton will surprise a few this season. Most writing them off for relegation before a ball has even been kicked, two good managers with sides that play good football. I personally think there's worse teams in the league than both.

SirBalon 2,692 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 So far there's a lack of football coming from the Chelsea players. But they've maintained it at 0-0 and that's the important part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
