Community Shield 2018 Chelsea vs Spurs
If Chelsea win the FA Cup they face Tottenham Hotspur in the Community Shield
Sun reporter Andrew Richardson seems to think football didn't exist before the Premier League which is insulting to all the clubs who have achieved magnificent things prior to that date. History doesn't just get expunged, Mr. Richardson.
Everything you need to know as Antonio Conte's men aim to become only third team to win domestic double in England his sub-headline shouts, wrong they are one of 7 teams who have achieved the feat.
Preston North End won the double in 1889 without losing a game all season and Spurs, of course, won it when it was considered impossible to do.
If Chelsea win the double then they will face the Premier League runners-up, Tottenham Hotspur, in August. If that happens it is a game we need to be ready for, it's a chance to win a trophy having played only one game and the players can then experience the celebrations etc that go with it.
It is a backdoor entry to winning trophies and one we should focus on. The experience can only help in our quest for further trophies.

So, Paul, what do you believe would be a good time frame to consider accomplishments within?
It should be a very decent game as long as we're fully charged and ready to go, but that's not always the case at the start of a season. Also, we're at Wembley again. Not our best venue recently.
Still, I'm very much looking forward to it. Perhaps, like in all our performance stats except the final points tally, we'll show we're the best there is ATM.
COYS!!
Supporters help to create an environment, hopefully a winning one.
However, I don't believe we can simply ignore history. I believe we have to face up to it honestly, recognise where we aren't as strong as we'd like to be, and improve that area. This is what Poch is doing with the Wembley situation I'm sure. I'm confident that, just as we used to be known as Spursy, and we are no longer that, we will get to the stage very shortly in the coming season where our difficulties playing at Wembley, and larger pitches in general possibly, will be a thing of the past. Perhaps we've already reached that point. We were certainly dominant for most of the game against Chelsea in the semi-final.
But you're right. This is no hoodoo. We have a club with such a strong collective mentality now that we can be confident that any issue that comes up will be dealt with positively and without the fear that goes to make up a…
