The 2012 victory helped me recover quickly from that heartbreak. If we didn't win in 2012, I'll still be grieving about that shootout.

That final was bonkers...80th minute onwards...to them scoring to Drogba scoring. To him giving away a penalty.. to it being missed..then the shootout..Mata missing then bammmmmmm. To many down and up moments all after the 80th minute onwards

None of our players had serious injury. A couple of weeks max at the time.

Not that it matters since our next game is in 3 months at best.

So theoretically by June all of our players should be able to start for the club? 

Kante, Tammy, Pulisic and even RLC?

Interesting discussion of all things Chelsea: -

 

Very good, even the articles that come the athletic are the best. 

In fact years ago journalism was like that, methodical, a lot of analysis and what not. 

Nowadays the journalism like skysport, the guardian and what not is so sub standard of what it used to be. But the athletic is like the elite of sports journalism.

Pretty sure they are all fit now. But when are we back in training for sure some of them will get new muscle injuries

I hope they give us like 2 to 3 weeks of prea season type before restarting the season in July. 

I think finishing the season in July-August is doable. 

Giving that the virus started in Wuhan and they are already reopening their city, we can assume that it last anywhere between 2 to 3 months. We already been in lock down since March and will be all of April. This is good, hopefully by mid May we can slowly start to open things up again. And then let clubs get back into training and pre season in June.

Our quickest players ranked by top speed. All above 34 kmh which is already damn fast. 2nd place is a shocker. Apparently Azpi ran 35kmh in October 2019. not bad for an old man...

Doesn't look like the club are furloughing the staff.

https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/11968597/premier-league-clubs-furlough-pay-cuts-deferrals

All Chelsea players and staff are being paid as normal. Cesar Azpilicueta is involved in talks with other Premier League captains about setting up a fund to help the NHS.

Roman Abramovich is paying for The Millennium Hotel at Stamford Bridge to be used free of charge by NHS staff.

Chelsea's global charity partner Plan International is responding to the effects of Coronavirus around the world. It works in more than 70 countries.

Good good. They can't. Smaller clubs maybe can understand as no so much of a income but for a huge club like Chelsea makes sense..and especially after how feelings been known after other clubs probably for the best.

Chelsea hero and league record scorer Jimmy Greaves admitted to hospital 

https://www.chelsea-news.co/2020/04/chelsea-hero-league-record-scorer-admitted-hospital/

The former Blues, England, Tottenham and West Ham striker had a severe stroke some years ago, and is now “being treated in hospital for an unspecified illness.”

The Daily Mirror report that it is not known to be coronavirus related.

Greaves came through the ranks at Chelsea before a glittering career that saw him blast his way to fourth on England’s list of top scorers.

He won the World Cup in 1966, and is Tottenham’s leading ever goalscorer, as well as the top scorer in England’s top division ever – 357.

He got 124 goals for Chelsea alone, making him one of our most prolific players even just from the early days of his career which he spent at Stamford Bridge.

We wish Jimmy all the best, and hope to see him well again as soon as possible. It takes a great man to bridge the Chelsea Spurs divide, and he manages it easily.
