2 good goals tbh.

SSN reporting that the Manchester derby has been cancelled due to bad weather.

Yep, sounds like the pitch was a bit of a nightmare anyway and the weather has been awful. Probably not the worst thing.

Robbo · 25 Jul 2016 at 10:00

Looking at images of the pitch, I'm shocked they were even considering playing on it!

Newbfail · 25 Jul 2016 at 12:24

wonder if we are going to be a little undercooked at the start of the season.

essentially only 2 pre season games + Rooney testimonial and Charity Shield.

NexusK · 25 Jul 2016 at 12:26

They'll probably play closed door matches before the season starts too.

Newbfail · 25 Jul 2016 at 16:50

I'm actually quite glad it got called off, makes you more excited for the proper derby in the EPL.

Cresswell out for four months after a ******* rubbish 'tackle' on him in a pre season match; I think the West Ham players reactions are quite tame, expected someone to chin him.

Newbfail · 26 Jul 2016 at 01:10

who can come in at LB for West Ham, Creswell was an ever present last season.

Really hate it when players get bad injuries, especially in pre season.

HT and Chelsea 1-0 with a Cahill goal.

Cosimo · 28 Jul 2016 at 05:51

Liverpool collecting yellows.

Cosimo · 28 Jul 2016 at 06:07

Fabregas gets a red.

Cosimo · 28 Jul 2016 at 06:34

A good header from Cahill and looking better defensively with another clean sheet.

omnomnom · 28 Jul 2016 at 06:47

That was a horrible challenge by Fabregas. Dirty little ****.

Cosimo · 28 Jul 2016 at 07:20

Watching those highlights makes me glad I didn't stay up. Fabregas is a **** even in pre-season I see.

Newbfail · 28 Jul 2016 at 09:36

that fabregas tackle was terrible :eek:

He's an absolute **** in general; not just pre season. Suits Chelsea

Yep, horrible.

Aguero looks very tanned and a little stocky in their game vs Dortmund.

NexusK · 30 Jul 2016 at 16:36

Celtic vs Barcelona this evening should be good for a friendly.
