Closed NY Red Bulls v Chelsea

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Desperately need my Chelsea fix, haven't felt this way before. Some teams are already on their 2nd, 3rd, 4th pre season game while we still have another 2 days & there's no transfers to temporarily distract us either.

Yeah, for some reason we've planned it latter than everyone else. Not sure what the reasoning behind that was but maybe something to do with the post-season tour we did.

But it's gotten so bad I actually watched Arsenal vs Everton in that Asian EPL trophy thing....

Theres a group of the lads from my local going over and I cant make it cause her indoors is in hospital that morning.

But I'm feeling really weird about this season so far. Last year as soon as Cescy/Costa was confirmed there was an amazing buzz going on. When presaeson came there was an electricity in the stands and a feeling that I hadn't felt in a few years. We was all just bouncing off each other with excitement.

This close season so far has felt like a kick in the balls and I'm sure its not all to do with no glamorous signings. I'm sure as soon as everyones together in the pub before making our way to beat them north Londoners I will be ok. (God I hope so cause I'm on a real downer

I've mentioned it before but that New York Bulls shirt is bloody horrible. The bulls look like they've just been dragged out of an abattoir

[Hybrid Angel 2,130]

The other forum members if they want to criticize me for what I say I accept it and there is no problem.

My English is horrible, I accept that too, but I can not understand people who always want to argue or laugh at others.

I prefer to live respecting the people. Life is too important to be all day hating.

And I apologize for these words if I have upset someone who respect to the comments of others.

Now let's talk about football!

Regards to ALL.

I love you supporter. Literally the perfect person to idolize, passionate about what you are talking about and always optimistic, respectful, and insightful. Keep it up mate.

True but on the other hand, we'll have 6 matches in 17 days, including the Community Shield and Premier League opener.

Its not the sort of need to get wrecked that normally clears your head and you're fine the next morning. Its like feeling an impending doom lurking and the only cure will be watching us kick shit out of the gooners. So not much longer to live with it.

Almost as bad tho is someone actually said on here lately it didn't matter if we lost to them. Almost brought on temporary blindness!

Pathetic, aint it! There will be nothing sweeter than beating their sorry arses and putting them in their place.

Talking of getting wrecked... I had a wedding party to go to on Friday night that went pair shaped! haha

Impending doom? Football related or life stuff bruv?

[Jase 43,479]

Chelsea likely to face weakened side with New York Red Bulls scheduled to play cup match just a day before friendly

Oh no - lifes always a barrel of laughs, the only thing that manages to get under my skin is Chelsea, and where it only used to take an hour or so to get over a loss it tends to take a night and a pocket fiull of money now! Must be getting old.

Wedding dos are either one of the best things you've done in ages or they bring out all the little rows and scraps break out in all corners of the room.

[kmk108 1,186]

I could see the Red Bulls lineup being half regulars for the Open Cup and half regulars for the friendly. That said, there probably aren't many players Chelsea supporters will care about seeing other than maybe Bradley Wright-Phillips.

From Mourinho's pre-match presser...

Mourinho: 'We are working on different things. We had to build a football team last year; now we are trying to add new qualities.

Jose says he is happy he can now watch MLS games live in Europe. He says the league is stronger with the likes of Lampard in it.

Jose: 'The [transfer] market is what it is.' He adds clubs only have to pay for players what they are willing to pay.

Mourinho says it is good for his team to play against a fit, fresh side in the middle of their season, as New York Red Bulls are.

Jose says he is impressed with what he has seen of Montreal so far and it is a good base for him and the players on our #CFCTour

Mourinho: 'Right now I only have one objective: to win tomorrow.

'Mourinho explains he can feel how much the popularity of football in North America has grown since his first #CFCTour here in 2004.

Mourinho says it seems like the transfer window is closed now so maybe it would be better to wait until 1 September to make a bid.

Jose says we need a left-back because it looks like we will be selling Filipe Luis in the very near future.

Jose says he would consider managing in the MLS one day, but not now. He would 'like to contribute to a fantastic country'.

I waited a long time for my first game at the bridge... Eventually chose the London derby against West Ham in 2013-2014 season.

It became a scoreless draw 0-0. The ONLY home game in which no goal was scored in the whole season !

Must say it was an expensive trip to London ... but at least I saw all of OUR boys in action! Amazing experience.

So my opinion: just go dude! And let that blue blood in your veins flow harder!! :blue scalf:

My first match at the Bridge was the dreaded loss to Sunderland in April 2014, Mourinho's only home defeat in the EPL. Ugh. Returned this past May vs Sunderland for the 3-1 win and got to see the trophy hoisted in person! Pure enjoyment!

Will be in Charlotte this weekend.

Come on you Chelsea!! :blue scalf: :blue scalf:

[MrBlueGuy 1,552]

Really hope we actually take the game serious as we got CS clash against Arsenal next weekend. I would rather we play most of the 1st team for 45-60 mins rather than just half an hour for each players and the rest just throw in youngsters that we know won't play at all this season for the sake of it.

whose staying awake in England and in the European countries during Thursday Morning to watch this match. or some of you going to bed much earlier and setting the alarm and waking up during the night to watch it. it starts at 12:05 pm - New Zealand Standard Time during Thursday Afternoon.

My prediction Results for us in The #ICC2015. Expecting a Win against NY Red Bulls and to Lose to PSG and to Loose to FC Barcelona and Winning against ACF Fiorentina in The International Champions Cup Matches.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

3 am kick off

Going to bed at 5 only to wake up at 7:30 for work...brilliant.

[boshman 1,073]

I remember when that match clock read 50 days, now it's just 15 hours. We are nearly back!!!

[zolayes 14,489]

the preseason schedule is crazy .. and why stop in Canada ,, too much travelling and too many games before the PL starts ..

just hope we stay injury free.

I am living in England mate. Normally I would have a rest around 23.30-23.45pm and have a good hour+ rest however because Jamaica are playing at 11pm against USA I need to go to have a rest even earlier. to watch both matches. And I am looking forward to both. Great timing really. Watch my NT play against USA for 11 (assuming no E.T) and then watch my favourite club team play against NY Red Bulls for 1am. Lovely!
