I found it. But not sure what that's supposed to prove or not prove, nor do I understand how this relates to Alzheimer's

Sat with my fellow Chelsea regulars and witnessed what has been coming all season. Sometimes you have to hold your hands up and admit the opposition were just too good for our team. Without any doubt, Munich are on a different level to us, maybe as many as 2 or 3 levels. The movement of their front 6 was outstanding. EVERYTHING our team does not have. Abundance pace and a centre forward who is at the top of his trade. Their defence was not tested and when we did escape their high line our forwards did not have the pace to even get a shot at goal. Mount is a number 10, not a player who is wasted outside. Their midfield players were so much easier over the ground and fully exposed our central positions. The manager main comment on our performance was our lack of knocking the ball about. We have done it well against the better sides in our own league, but last night Munich dominated the middle of the pitch allowing them to boss the game from the 1st min onwards. We got spanked, but I really enjoyed the night. Our young players will learn more from that game than any of the group stage games and the older players exposed by Munich SHOULD leave the manager no doubt they need to be moved on. It was a pleasure to see a team play football at an elite level and not take their foot off the throats of the opposition for the entire 90mins. The only other team I have seen do that to us at Stamford Bridge this season was Leicester City for around 20-30 mins. This allows the club to concentrate on the league, but to be brutally honest we need to improve if we are going to be a worthwhile entrant into the CL next season.

I think it's the Deputy Health Minister... and he's a fucking idiot. So yeah, there's no way he's good at his job. Last night he went onto PressTV to do an interview where he updates the public with the status of the virus in Iran. But overall he's telling people not to worry. The interviewer has a moment where she's like "you're coughing an awful lot" (and the guy is also sweating visibly on TV) and he makes a joke about how he should be covering his mouth with his arm when he coughs. Then today he makes a statement that he's infected with the virus. He even states that he thinks his time on earth is coming to an end - so much for telling people not to worry...

If I'm gonna die I'm taking you all down with me.

I didn't watch the match but saw the video afterwards Class.

@nudge did you see this?

Yeah I've been ill since Thurs and the missus for a couple weeks before that. Both all good now! Pretty sure we didn't have coronavirus mind.

Alonso, Emerson, Barkley, Pedro, Giroud, Willian, Batshuayi, Azpilicueta. Being cynical, you could probably shift all of these for starters, perhaps keeping Giroud and Azplicueta around for squad positions.

I see flying lawn mowers.

Does anyone else just see the words "no need to panic" and immediately think "I'm feeling more panicked than I was before I read that" … or is that just me?

I bet this scheme has scared the shit out of a lot of people though as 5, 10, 15 minutes pass and they can't find the camel.

Two cases apparently - according to this: https://www.dawn.com/news/1536792. But then all other sources report one case only so I'm a bit confused. EDIT: nevermind; two cases now confirmed by the Pakistan's Minister of Health.

Reports here that the first case has been confirmed in Karachi, man returned from Iran recently

Yeah it's probably just some regional variations in spices/herbs used for the marinade. Thought maybe there's something particularly unique about your version of it

Well, good question. I don't know any other. But I think originally, rheinischer is made with horse meat. Although I don't really it like that.

Cheers; corrected it Should have been Iraq instead of Oman under 4 cases each.

Sounds as if Hansi will be given the job permanently, hard to argue hes proven he can handle the job thus far. The instantaneous improvement probably doesnt reflect to well on Kovac but thats another matter.

I was listening to a Podcast with the author of the book "Pale Rider: The Spanish Flu of 1918 and How It Changed the World", Laura Spinney, and one thing she mentioned is that government transparency and the cooperation of the population is fundamental. She was somewhat optimistic.

The timing's been been pretty unlucky to be honest; first the Chinese New Year at the start of the outbreak, now Carnival. But I think the world is too connected nowadays for any fairly contagious virus to be contained in a short time anyway.

Makes you wonder how widespread it is in Italy. Most of the cases in numerous countries in the last two days have been related to the outbreaks in either Italy or Iran...

First case in Brazil has been just confirmed. A 61-year old man who returned from Italy.

So far i think Kovačić gets my vote for Chelsea player of the year.

Cyril roasting Nico. Woooow.

Huge thanks to everyone who has contributed. £455 out of £500 already is incredible. TF365 will be 3 years old next month thanks to the support of everyone.

400 new cases in Italy

Jesus. Shit getting serious now.

Bahrain GP and Vietnam GP are now also in doubt due to coronavirus.

It´s definitely worrisome. Especially considering the volume of passenger traffic between Brazil and Italy and also due to the fact Carnival is only ending today. Brazil could be a game-changer in this crisis. Add to this the risk of the virus somehow reaching Venezuela where a significant part of the population is malnourished. EDIT: Apparently the man had been in São Paulo for 4 days before getting tested. During Carnival. Oh boy...

My sister and her boyfriend live in Rimini, and they've been in Venice since last week. He has coronavirus symptoms.
