Chelsea's pre-season camp officially starts today in Ireland. We did beat Peterborough 6-1 behind closed doors last week, as well. Camp is just outside of Ireland ahead of a friendly v. Bournemouth. July 27: Bournemouth, Vitality Stadium August 1: Arsenal, Emirates August 4: Spurs, Stamford Bridge August 11: UEFA Super Cup v. Villareal, Windsor Park
Going to a game at my local club for the first time in over a year a few months ago was overwhelming. Had gotten vaccinated and all that and it was a mix of relief and joy. KTBFFH.
I have both vacations, but the government over here is really letting things rip and the levels of infections is staggering. I am not worried about the game itself, all the people round me are season ticket holders so it's the same people that are also likely to be fully jabbed. It's the journey there and back on public transport.
There are studies that show public transport is not a big spread risk...as long as people are quiet and not talking. If it's footy fans singing songs, well, that's a risk.
I think that is true in normal circumstances and I use public transport without worry. However have you been on a service at Fulham Broadway after a game? Sardine can conditions faces inches appart
Yeah, that's what I mean. Football matches are a different animal. On that note, the only seats available for the Crystal Palace opener are in hospitality. Full house. I do worry that the idiots not getting vaccinated will cause more people to suffer and die.
Current squad in Dublin. No Baka, Kenedy, or players from Euros. GOALKEEPERS: Arrizabalaga, Bergström, Cumming, Mendy FULL BACKS: Alonso, Baba, Sterling, Zappacosta CENTER BACKS: Chalobah, Clarke-Salter, Miazga, Sarr MIDFIELDERS: Baker, Barkley, Drinkwater, Gallagher, Loftus-Cheek WINGERS: Hudson-Odoi, Musonda, Pulisic, Ziyech STRIKERS: Abraham, Broja, Ugbo
God i hope we get a striker lads. Nt following the hallaand episode. Just know we need a striker desperately... our friend Girou has departed, tammy is well, just tammy lol. That german guy, ive even forgot he bloody name. Bloody Timo! He needs to get his finger out his arse.
If Haaland doesn’t work out, maybe Ellen White is available. She can certainly put her foot on the ball.
Chelsea have wrapped their Ireland camp up 4 days early due to C19 scare in team/staff. Back to Cobham to prep for Bournemouth on July 27.
Lots of new players back today. Nine players in all including those knocked out of the Euros at 16 and quarter finals. Also Kennedy is back from Brazil and a few other loanees
Bournemouth tonight live worldwide on the 5th stand app that can now cast to a decent size screen. 7:45 BST
I am casting it to my TV, 0-0 so far Tammy and CHO with chances. The elusive Dany Drinkwater spotted in midfield
0-0 at the half, Tammy with a few good chances, one excellently saved by the keeper. Lewis Baker with some good defending. All change at the half?
Miazga with a very nice defensive header directly and safely into the arms of the keeper. Unfortunately their keeper from a wide open header.
