The Pre-Season Thread

Indeed. Glad the club made the right decision rather than flog the players to death with all those long distance travels.

On the other hand, read a piece in Daily Mirror the other day stating that we'll be heading to Asia again next summer.

It's not sucha big deal as there isn't a WC so players can get their holidays in before the tour starts, and not be already knackered arriving for preseason

Err, was I even complaining about the tour to Asia? Was just saying it.

OK, I mis-interpreted the 'On the other hand' in your sentence.

Wasn't having a go or anything, just think it makes a lot of sense the way the club have done it to not do a big tour this year, whereas next year it won't be a problem.

I think this preseason is far more crazy than we ever did, no? Travelling every 2 days, and then you have a match for every 2-3 days. I will be surprised if we could perform consistently, to be honest.

Been kinda forced into a packed schedule due to the WC and players arriving back at all times. Will be better for pre season next year

Wasn't sure where to post this, but a few people were asking for the prematch player introductions from last night's game. Here they are:

What a load of fucking shite. Do the pre-season tour somewhere closer.

It doesn't matter where pre-season takes place surely. As long as the boys get a good pre-season under their belts then who cares, right? And they will playing against some decent opponents for a change rather than an mickey mouse xi.

Why? You live in England, it's easier for you to go to a game than people over here. This is likely one of the few times I'll ever see us play live.

Its nothing to do with that. All the travelling, it has an effect on the players, its pointless really, all it is is a money gainer for the club we can play top teams at home or in more ideal locations in Europe or even in England which doesn't have as much of a toll on players due to travelling.

Also I live in Scotland :D

Again like I've said above, traveling takes its toll eventually. We can play top teams anywhere, we are Chelsea football club, big teams will always be up for friendlies against us if they are possible.

Of course its good for fans who are US based to get a chance to see their team but I think its more for the money. Its ridiculous in my eyes.
