Last season we didn't have community shield, and we didn't play twice in the week before Burnley.

This year, we do play the CS, and it's a much better contest to prepare a season than the Fiorentina game.

Cs is just a friendly like any other preseason.

8Aug , 10 Aug in Turkey plus Sociadad midweek before weekend 1 in this season just gone actually Which started on the 16th.

So could have been 4 games in 8 days including travelling.

When these games arranged we didnt know Burnley was going to be moved to Monday from Saturday

Why is it a much better contest?

The last game in preseason is the one where you expect to players nearly match fit and an indication of where the team is at.

The Charity Shield is just one if those games in the run up to the season start....nothing that special about it.

Bored already.....hurry up August.

Get the money spinner in USA out of the way, then Charity Shield ( cant be bothered with that one....someone else using my ST loyalty points for first dibs) ...then looking forward to Fiorentina ...more interesting and relevant than CS as its last pre season and we get to see where we are at

So the fellas who were at the Copa get 3 weeks or 4 weeks? If so, then Willian, Filipe, Cuadrado, Falcao will miss the first few games of preseason.

Falcao will join up with the rest of the squad in US on July 19 apparently - http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/transfers/radamel-falcao-joins-chelsea-blues-announce-seasonlong-loan-of-former-manchester-united-striker-10364183.html.

Guess it will be the same for the other 3 as well.
