Best of luck Chelsea fans. Personally, I'm excited for this one as a neutral. This marks the start of the new season after all.

Thanks, I'm saying 3-2 to us. Yes, August arrived today, at last!

Well wembley is going to be our new home for a few seasons, so may as well start off by beating arsenal there and presenting our first piece of silverware.

So f**king stoked right now for this.

 

Beginning of the season for us, first chance at silverware.

 

Local MLS team winning a derby on road in front of 55k 3-0.

 

Now to be up in seven hours for another Mourinho win vs Wenger.

It seems as if we as a club are treating this game as if its another pre season warm up especially when you consider we still have a game against Fiorentina before the real season starts.
Whereas Arsenal have already had 4 games in their pre season and this is there last blow out before the league campaign.

This would suggest to me that Arsenal are taking this more seriously which is a worry as I think we would need to be close to 100% to beat this Arsenal team (who by all accounts have had a decent pre-season) and not still finding our form and fitness, admittedly this game doesn't matter and neither does the result, but I really don't want that record broken as I think it will break the Wenger Hi jinx and give them a lot more confidence going into the season in which I think they will be our strongest rivals.

Hope I am completely wrong though and we give them a battering.       

Won't be able to watch this because of my university exams tomorrow, but I will be checking the score now and then. Have a feeling that Mou might go 2 up front with Costa and Falcao. Come on Chelsea!

i would like traore to feature at some point and RLC. 

I might not get to see this one unfortunately

finally gameday, very excited for this

any game versus arse matters for me, hate them butthurt delusional bunch more than anyone

predicting a comfortable 2-0 win

Although technically only a pre season friendly it would still be nice to put one over the gooners.

Gutted not going today but those who are it's either the globe at Baker Street or better still on a day like this the green man at wembley in the beer garden. Don't forget stock up on the celery and sing loud and proud ktbffh!

Not looking forward to Cech's first time out for them :(

Me neither seriously worried that cech going there is gonna bite us on the arse big time...he, s gonna earn them at least 12/15 pts this campaign... :(

I'm confident we'll win in style today, it just feels uncomfortable to see the beloved Cech keeping for Arsey.

They all think they're going to win the treble on Arsenal Mania.

 

Excellent

Does the treble include their pre-season trophy, the charity shield and then their 4th place trophy if so then it might well be on

Yeah Arsenal properly hate us these days, a lot of it down to Mourinho. Though it's also Roman, net spend, class oh and the fact Stamford Bridge doesn't serve olive tapenade and hummus to away fans.

They really are a strange fanbase, and very, very easy to antagonise.

Every arsenal fan dreads the words "Daddy, can we go to McDonalds?"

I'm nervous for this one, always am with games involving Arsenal

Can't wait. Vacation is over, August is here.

 

Season is kicking off again, finally!

 

Glorified friendly or not, can't stand losing to Arsenal.

Just got this delightful text from my brother in law, now obviously I do care and want us to smash them in to the ground but I'm not rising to his bait...

P.S. I've even censored it for the mods!

Good luck to CFC. I hope Arsenal are denied pre-season momentum!

If this wasn't Arsenal I probably wouldn't be as edgy about it, I really don't want Wenger beating Jose....ever.

Same here

There f**king fans drive me nuts aswell, deluded f**kers

Just seen that BT Sports aren't feeling too charitable about the Charity Shield.

Not on on their free channel, it's on their new subscription service.

Proper sh*t.

Really looking forward to this, makes it even more tense considering my brother is an Arsenal fan, but then again even more sweet when i rub it in his face. 14-0 today for us and Jose!

 

Btw special mention goes out to this idiot..

 

From Metro.

Arsenal have failed to score past Chelsea in their last 5 attempts, a total of 482 minutes.

Arsenal have failed to win any of their last 8 meetings against Chelsea L5 D3.

I ignored rest of the stats as it doesn't reflect our recent outing. Be encouraged, Arse should be very afraid :)
