    Nice job - I know its pre-season, but don't forget the [R] at the end of the title...

    I think we should have one thread starter this year, btw. Not sure what everyone else is thinking.

    They both are doing a good job. Kudos to them. I guess it would be unfair to pick one of them. I guess they can divide the season between them.

    My 2 cents.

    I didn't get down in time to throw anything, much less get any photos of my coworker shilling for autographs.

    This one will be a really interesting match to watch. I want to really see how Ancelotti will setup the team versus his ex-team. Ancelotti knows Milan perfectly and new Milan coach, Leonardo knows Ancelotti very well, so it'll be very curious to see what kind of game will come out all of this. Leonardo is probably one of the most hazardous moves a club in Italy has ever undertaken in these last years, probably trying to set another Guardiola-effect. I must admit this for me, as I'm both a Chelsea and Milan fan, is probably the hottest match of this summer to watch.

    It's weird to see your name in blue rather than red.
    And yea, you know pre-season is where we work out all the kinks, before the real stuff starts...things shall be perfect for the regular season lol :)

    Mod, can you edit the [R] in the title, por favor?

    And I don't mind doing the thread or splitting with Kaz :)

    Yessir!

    The table goes like this:

    Wins -- PK Wins -- PK Losses -- Losses

    - 3 points for a win
    - 2 points for a PK win
    - 1 point for a PK loss

    You also get a point for every goal scored in regulation time. (Maximum of 3 points)

    effing journo's (except Kaz of couse, well usually:p)

    but here is the full Mikel quote from Carlo, far less worring than how the Telegraph, I think, had it

    Sat alongside Ancelotti was John Mikel Obi, who it was announced this week has signed a new contract with the club that runs until 2014.


    'Obi is a young player, he has great quality, technical, tactical, for the present and for the future he is a very important player for us,' the manager said.



    'We are very happy he has signed a new contract, and I hope that he stays at Chelsea for a lot of years and I would like that he puts for the team his great quality.'

    Don't know about the kids but this grumpy old sod will be there. I got up at 5Am to watch the 2nd half of the Inter game live before heading out to work. I caught the rest when I got back. Looking forward to seeing what Zhirkov can do and where he is played.

    I finish work at 11, so I'll stay up and try to catch a stream.



    To all those going to Bodymore, Muddaland - don't get captured :)
