Re: All threads are temporary. This one's about soccer.
I’m going to see a friendly between Chelsea and Wrexham this summer, and I fully expect it will feature mostly youngsters and backups. So, there’s that. That's what I said when Arsenal came to town last year, and I didn't get tickets. My daughter was so pissed at me when they actually played a lot ...
