I'll be there! I heard every ticket sold and if everyone shows up I think it'll set a record for the largest attendance at a football match in USA.

[The Chels 2,502]

Look at Ivanovic's defending for the first and third goals here . I don't think I will be able to cope if (when) he's made untouchable this season again.

I would be there too but something came up. 

Only 45 mins from my house!

[Unionjack 7,531]

I was praying N'Golo would be there today to start gelling with the lads and hopefully play in this. With this system of Contes the more practice the better.

PSG beat Real Madrid 3 - 1 a few days ago but Chelsea FC will probably still lose to Real Madrid and Real will probably injure our players.

Regulations for Saturday's Game - For those of you not familiar with the Big House, they have a pretty strict NO BAG policy and alot of other semi strange rules. Check it out so you don't get stuck having to walk back to your car!

Conte added: “Eden will play in second half. For Hazard , the right moment is in the second half.

“Now Courtois is back and tomorrow we start with Begovic and in the second half we play Courtois.”

(Conte talking about Kante) :

“He’s in good physical condition, fantastic. He’s a runner. He has great stamina and endurance.

“He’s in good shape, but we want to respect the time in the training sessions and put him in to play with us in the future.”

So Courtois and Hazard to play in the second half and Kante probably won't see any minutes.

Conte does seem very strict when it comes to being fit enough to play in games.

“In the last few days he (Costa) had a pain in his back and for this reason he didn’t train and didn’t play against Liverpool.

“When Costa trains with us I always see the right attitude, but in these few days he didn’t train with us.

“It’s important to see the players doing the training session. If I don’t see a player doing the training session I can’t put them in the game.

“These are my rules and it’s important to understand this.

“My concept is very clear. I want to see my players doing the work in the training session.

“If someone is injured or there is some problem and I don’t see the player in the training session, it is impossible to think of putting him in the starting 11 or on the bench.”

Now I'm not sure reading between the lines and Contes not fully grasping English whether that means Cstas mind wasn't at training so hes not playing or that he didn't put himself fully into training because of his back.

Just wish all the transfer palava had finished, we had got ourselves all the players we need so proper training can start.

these quotes give me the feeling somebody's told Conte that certain players would slip right back into our XI last season after injuries despite not even training and proving they were the best option. 

[Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067]

Crazy how far both Zidane and Conte have come.

They shouldn't be feeling that comfortable about a startring place.

It makes me laugh now seeing as his actions didn't match his words but I remember when we had Big Pete and Tibo and Mou was asked did he have a problem with team selection. He said those were the problems he loved. Havind to decide which player to select.

But if a position doesn't have a good alternative then that player will maybe feel he doesn't need to fully push himself. And Costas not really had another striker pushing for his spot.
