27th July, Sunday, 2014
Stozice Stadium
16:15 Kick Off (UK time)

[Melanicus 5,208]

Probably the only time Chelsea will visit Ljubljana and I won't be able to see it live at Stožice Stadium. Fuck my life.

Oh, and by the way. Olimpija is really shit, I'm surprised the club didn't go bankrupt already. Expect goal fest.

Love coming to these threads just to see the moment Slippy G realised he fucked up.

Looking forward to seeing more of the news guys in this game.

Confirmed by José that Cesc and Costa will play 45 mins in this one.

Can't wait.

I mean no disrespect to Olimpija Ljubijana and Wolfsberger but does anyone know why have this season's friendlies been arranged against weaker teams ? Why haven't we gone to the US like we do every season ?

Because of the ridiculous travel arrangements during a WC season...

Let desperate Utd go to the US - Van Gaal already saying next year it won't happen.

These teams might be considered 'poor' - but for them it's the game of their lives and like RZ last night, they will put a solid shift in, be organised and hard to break down. This is important in the development of the team and fitness (main priority)...

Just looking to avoid all the travelling post a WC period in which the team comes back in a staggered manner.

And in terms of quality of opposition, we're not going to be facing worse teams than we did last season - Malaysia All Stars / Kitchee Sports Club.

couldn't have posted that fact any better than you. I noticed spudz wasn't on that graphic. They are doing a bit of traveling here in North America too. I know they played in Seattle & Toronto. I believe their last match will be in Chicago.

Sp*rs aren't important enough to be included in the graphic

Wow, smart move by the club imo.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

I still don know if I will be able to watch it...I want badly but I might not have time...fml

So Jose confirmed that Costa, Fabregas, Torres, Azpi and Cahill have trained well enough to get 45mins in the squad for this game! I would imagine that means Swift, Solanke and perhaps Bamford are done for the preseason?

Solanke definitely. We'll use 3 strikers when Lukaku joins the team, so Bamford can still play in 1 game.

As for Swift, he's been playing on the wings where we only have 2 players in Brown and Salah, so i think he'll still play.
