Thanks: Gave 771, Got 421 | Who will win the Community Shield?
After watching Chelsea's 2 pre-season games against MLS Allstars in Chicago on Saturday and tonight against Feyenoord in Rotterdam, I feel they are off the pace fitness wise.
Instead of playing friendlies over a 2 or 3 week period, Mourinho has decided to make pre-season more intensive & play 3 games in 4 days (we play Celtic tomorrow), then the Liverpool game at the weekend. Not sure this is the right approach and I can see Liverpool being stronger, fresher and conceivably sneaking the win! OUCH!  |

If Exeter spent £billions they would be there.
So if you win what good comes of it?
What does it mean for the season?
Nothing thats what.
Just another game for more injuries, hopefully Chelseas way.  | |

Dream on boys. We're here to stay, so get used to fighting for scraps and being relegation fodder in the not too distant.....  | |

Pool no question.
Shev who?
Michael One Ballack?
Oh and as for it being meaningless, it won't be for Chelsea, come the end of the seasons it might be the only trophy they had a chance of winning.

I'm starting to understand why every other person in the country is starting to detest chelski.
Me I've always hated them.
