Ahead of tomorrow's Chelsea vs Man Utd fixture, #CFCDev will lift and parade their trophy for finishing the #PL2 regular season phase top of the table. It should take place around 7.30pm and the academy would appreciate as much support and celebration as possible.
Some great panelists (plus me) will be discussing all things Chelsea At War (no, not Hicky-stylee) at a fab venue on 30 April. Would be lovely to see some of you there chelseaheritagequarter.co.uk/events/chels...

Was it Roberta Tambling?! 🤪
Surely her name will be out there among the digital plankton now?
🤣
That’s a fallacy. It was the Royal International Horse Show, held there in the summers of 1968 and 1969, then continuous bad weather after the pitch was relaid that ruined the pitch

I didn’t even know there were blackouts in WW1 until a chance piece of research about the official Chelsea photographer who was mortally injured during one in 1918
I get that – less visceral drama. But the change to a troglodyte life, albeit occasional, must have been remarkable and surely merit a place in folk memory
☺️
there's another that reckons, overall, on one night in 1918, 750,000+ were in tube stations sheltering
Why weren’t we told?! My E, C and N London ancestors would almost certainly have been among them but no stories were passed down – loads from WW2 of course
Remarkable document.
Not in the habit of eggs/suck and the teaching of but slice lengthways, wrap in foil with dash of oil and water and bake works for me
Should we call them Hubros? Let’s be their Nemesis.
They said it would take 193 years to clean London’s air. We did it in nine. 💨

Another one we asked was ‘What song should the team run out to?’ One disgruntled player responded, ‘Talking Heads – Road To Nowhere’.
Punching well above their football weight I’d say
True that
In the 1990s I used to interview Chelsea players for a programme column called ‘On The Ball’. Here are the original questions we thought up. ‘COMA’ was ‘What would wake you from a coma?’ One player replied ‘REDACTED PLAYER’s breath.’
