Good luck

Good luck.

Good luck!

Good Luck Smauel!

Thanks everyone, I started my save this morning. I've already played a couple of games too, although before I announce the results I'll have a few updates first.

"This morning"

It's 3am

Yep, and I started it an hour ago.

How come you're always on MSN? Do you leave your phone on or something or are you genuinly just on it 24/7?

I just leave my MSN on, I can't be bothered to turn off my PC constantly. There's a theory that restarting your PC daily could be more harmful than leaving it on 24/7 anyway. I should have my first update later today, that'll be when more people are on-line.

I thought so

Will read it when I awaken. (Probably afternoon )

That said, I'm still fairly active on MSN. I prefer it to Facebook.

That's cool.

Good luck

Chelsea Football Club’s official website has announced the club’s pre-season plans ahead of the 2011/12 Premier League season. It was said that Chelsea are planning a trip to Australia, where they’ll face Australian superstars Brisbane Roar FC and Central Coast Mariners. Chelsea, however aren’t the only non-Australian team in the competition with fellow Premier League side Norwich City flying to the southern hemisphere.

Despite the hectic journey required to travel, Chelsea have remained both positive and enthusiastic. Chelsea’s new appointed manager Andre Villas-Boas will be expecting his team to represent England’s league, along with newly promoted Norwich City. Chelsea is set to aboard a plane in the late evening – early morning.

Whilst on paper it may seem like Chelsea are clear favourites to win the competition, with Norwich City following behind alas there may be more than on show than a humiliation of Australian opponents. With the absurd change in temperature, surely Chelsea will not be able to perform at the highest level. The dates for the following matches are as followed:

Saturday 23rd July
Central Coast Mariners v Chelsea (11:45pm)
Brisbane Roar v Norwich City (12.30pm)

Sunday 24th July
W1 v W2 (11.30pm)

What’s your prediction? – Please check the reserve for information on the prediction league.

Good luck for those!

Good Luck! I predict 5-1 win for you

@Neal - Thanks, predictions?
@America - Thank you.

I'll have completed the reserve today, which'll basically describe the points towards the 'Prediction League'. I'm not too sure if the match result against CCM will be detailed, seeing as it's merely a friendly.

7-0 win Deleted your post up there for you^

Thanks for the good luck, Walter.

That's a pretty close prediction to the actual scoreline, Mike. Oh, thanks.

Good update.

Chelsea began their pre-season campaign with a stunning victory over Australian side, Central Coast Mariners at the Bluetongue stadium this afternoon. Chelsea hit eight past the Mariners and are set to play current Australian champions Brisbane Roar, after they pulled of an unexpected win against the newly promoted Premier League side. Despite Chelsea’s comfortable victory, Alexander Wilkinson hit the crossbar from an astonishing range mid-way through the first attack of the game.

That, of course didn’t affect Chelsea’s confidence going into the game as they admittedly regained possession with centre defensive midfielder, Michael Essien who strung a beautiful through pass across the pitch gifting an early goal to England’s young international, Daniel Sturridge. Twenty minutes then passed which saw Chelsea score four more goals, courtesy of Frank Lampard, Juan Mata and Fernando Torres. The half time whistle went, with Chelsea leading by four goals.

We aren’t aware of what Chelsea were told in the dressing room at half time, although Chelsea took their foot off the pressure. They sat back, relaxed, and defended for ten minutes and welcomed several attacks from the opposition. However, the substitution of Fernando Torres for Didier Drogba saw Chelsea turn their game around, Didier himself managed to get one too which was shortly followed by a second goal for Frank Lampard.

The Mariners, who were exhausted and already arguably finished, kept throwing around sloppy balls, giving easy balls to Chelsea’s strikers, who had already tasted the goal mouth, and they both tasted the juice of the net once again. Perhaps it wasn’t the most respectable victory, although that didn’t remove the smiles off the Chelsea players. They had won, and were set to play Brisbane the following day.

*I have ignored predictions for this game, seeing as I only received a few. Predictions will start at the beginning of the season.*

Brilliant win
