No way Jose
It's been a loooooong wait but the time is almost here- the new EPL season is finally about to begin! Our season kicks off with tomorrow's Community Shield (fka FA Charity Shield) at the Millennium Stadium.
Question: How do you cover your ass in case of a WHOoOPinG?
Answer: Pre-emptively make a statement that you're sending out a "50%" side.

They (Liverpool) will feel that they are in much better condition than Chelsea, so they have to win the game......Every other team - even the ones not competing for the Premiership - have been working for more than a month.....We are not ready to play 90 minutes because we have not worked on certain aspects of our game.

Well boo-hoo to you matey.
Announcing that you are sending out a "50% quality" side in this manner is no better than a child announcing his sore ankle prior to racing his rival down the street.
Y'see this way, in the event of a loss, the child has a ticket to say something like "yeah you won, but that's just because my foot was screwed up to begin with". And should this semi-paralysed child win the race, he has booked himself a LARgER-than-normal horn to toot and gloat over. I wish I could be bothered looking for a *rolling eyes* emoticon to place right here but you get the idea.
Admittedly, the FA Community Shield is not a trophy either side is going to be shedding a tear over....but hOtDAmN I can't wait!
:D
