Chelsea’s pre-season shill tour of Malaysia, Thailand and Hong Kong will see them clocking up a grand total of 19,091 miles before the 2011/12 Premier League season kicks off in August- the most distance covered by any of the top flight clubs.

By way of contrast, new boyos Swansea will rack up just 19 miles in that same time, playing away friendlies against fellow Welshies Port Talbot and Neath.

Give the thumbnail a couple of clicks to see the full-size version…

    Heh I get to see Tottenham next weekend. Hope they flatten whatever carp local team they play (either Orlando Pirates or Kaizer Chiefs, meh)

    A worthy mention to Oxford United who are also doing a pre-season tour of the US!

  3. Montesquieu says:

    How does Liverpool or Everton or West Brom have this money to go around the world, but no money to buy decent players?

  4. Lady B says:

    Well Liverpool have sold Konchesky, so that’s a start :P

  5. Cool – you’ve given us a few ideas! Good work!

    three things

    1. liverpool clearly have too much money to spend on players as they keep getting scammed

    2. they generate money on these tours so its hardly a financial burden

    3. people always chat shit about going through the early qualifying rounds of europa league or champs league as destroying a teams season but they end up going less distance than other teams in their pre-season, it is illogical and just an example of doomsday neighsaying that people seem to love so much

  7. Miles says:

    The Fulham one is wrong…

    763 miles e/w Faroe Islands = 1526 miles
    321 e/w Belfast = 642 miles

    Total = 2168

    with the rest of the europa campaign its going to get a lot bigger
