http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2013/jul/22/chelsea-juan-mata-fernando-torres? Well, now our chances of winning have gone from very slim to slim. Get in.
I'm bored. Deal with it. Besides, if you read the comment under the link, it wasn't meant to be taken seriously.
Agreed, although he probably wouldn't be eligible for the first game The only thing with teams like this is that even with those players missing, the players that will replace them are more than capable and who knows who Chelsea will sign between now and our game. We should be preparing to face a full Chelsea side, regardless of who they are putting out.
Sorry to dampen the spirits... Lukaku wil; start ahead of Torres which is fine. He's been impressive already in pre season. Ivanovic will play right back. And De Bruyne (who has been outstanding this pre season so far) or Schurrle will come in for Mata... Guess the good news is Mata not playing but we'll get by
So we'll be playing some normally benched players, who are a class above us anyhow, and will be hoping to use the chance of a start to impress their new manager? Oh that's brilliant. Meh. Might have to downgrade my score forecast to 0 - 2 now. Arse.
I've gone for 2-1 to Chelsea, just like the 2009/10 season. Won me £100 that day, so I'm sticking with it.
Al so Chelsea want to re-arrange the Aston Villa game for the tuesday night after us so again squad rotation comes into play. The 3 missing will be a massive loss to Chelsea especially Mata imo. A great time to play them. No dampening of my spirits at all. A great time to play Chelsea at the bridge imo. COYH.
I will be very surprised if Man Utd allow Rooney to leave prior to the Chelsea game @ O.T. on 24th August. But it could well happen after that game.
Everyone should be entitled to a opinion maybe you should base yours on his football and not on is caps.
