Its also on ESPN, don't know who gets that around the world... but thats is what it is also on.

They are both almost full strength. Although it's a bit of a boring game so far.

YAYA Toure looking good, and not because he scored... Arsenal need a true striker...

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

Toure is a very good player. Runs City's midfield. Hopefully Oscar can do the same for us.

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

Man City's squad is very good. They have world class players through their spine and havd quality depth. Their squad is still better than ours I'd say. It reminds of me Chelsea in 04/05/06. Looks like they will be very competitive and successful for years like we have been. Mikel and who ever plays alongside him really need to step up and have great seasons. A striker would help as well.

City play 8 games in total in their pre-season while we are only playing 5...

I don't see why we don't play atleast 1 game every pre season at The Bridge,gives the locals a chance to look at the new players.

They lay new turf during pre-season I think, the ground-keeps would hate it.

I love the Chelsea Unseen US Tour the club put out

[Milan 17,955]

I just saw a reaction from my friend who also supports Chelsea and who is now in the US. He watches the Premiership football in pubs and says Arsenal and Man United have way much larger support there than us and City. In numbers, according to him, 98 % of people he saw supported Man United or Arsenal.

Maybe he was in a wrong pub or maybe our US tours do not really bear fruit.

Well it happened again. I hope next season people wont say: "pre season results doesnt matter".

It really matters because its 4th season in a row where the way we played in pre season was the same way we did in most part of the season.
