I see we're due to play Atletico Madrid in this trophy after the PL season has kicked off on Fri 31st August! Is it being held in a neutral venue? I seem to remember we beat a German side in Sweden to grab this trophy in 1998 which I didn't get to and I'd like to think I'll have a chance to make up for it this time! Any Blues out there know the answer?

It's in Monaco.

Courtois can't play either.

Oh and didn't we beat Ral Madrid last time? Poyet goal??

I think you are thinking of Stuttgart who we beat in the cup winners cup final in 98 if memory serves. Zola winner.
 
Yup. It always puts me in mind of Messi when I think back to that Zola goal! Was hardly a classic game though... Anyway, it was Real that we played in the Super Cup with Poyet scoring, again hardly a classic lol
 
it was Real Madrid we beat in 98 Bluemoon, I remember the game well.
It was a German team we beat in the European Cup winners cup final to qualify for the Super Cup, Vfb Stuttgart (through a Zola goal)
 
Thanks guys--the memories not what it used be!--Great to know its in Monaco, one of my favourite places! I'll definitely be trying to get to that one!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe only in the Premier League are players not allowed to play against their father club.

Indeed, Courtois was commenting on one of the Euro games a couple of days ago, and he said he was most likely to play in the Super Cup against Chelsea.
 
His loan extension hasn't been extended yet has it? If not I'm sure Chelsea would make it part of the agreement that he couldn't play!
 
I hope he does play, would be nice to see how he copes with our new line up. Enjoy Monaco BM2, it is a great area down there. Would you believe I leave London for Singapore on the very day !!!! Bollocks.
