Signed up for ESPN+ to watch. Hate that they make it difficult to watch the FA Cup. Should be a great match!

I guess coaching matters. Beautiful gameplam not allowing City to just control the game.

Tuch has really shown how inept Frank was. Love him for his time at chelsea but he should’ve never been Manager, or else gotten more experience elsewhere before being considered.

Keep the momentum going against Brighton on Tues and climb back into forth. Thanks Magpies.

Doing it all without a striker worth a damn.

We would be a complete club (with depth). We’d legit win consistently 3-0 or 4-1 on a regular basis with a goal scorer that works off our playmakers.

The head of the Danish FA, and UEFA executive committee member, Jesper Møller expects Chelsea, Real Madrid, and Manchester City to be kicked out of this season's Champions League. Møller told a Danish newspaper that there is expected to be a meeting this coming Friday and will likely end with the remaining clubs being thrown out of this season's competition.


Is this for real?

its UEFAs competition and they just got fricked. im sure they can do whatever they want if they have the votes.

if it happens, the whole season was essentially a wast of time and, as it stands, theres nothing to gain in the remaining league fixtures.

Literally no one wins if they do that...UEFA in particular takes the financial burden on the chin.

They are being told realities about what level of tantrum will be tolerated by their sponsors. Not sure when the world’s sports fans will realize the truth about what franchises/clubs care about. TV transferred ALL power to corporate sponsors. People need to learn it and adjust priorities accordingly.

It made no sense from Roman's perspective. He's the one who understands the sport better than the others. It's the fact that he was willing/is willing to put up his own money which drives these ghouls to justify everything in terms of revenue. fricking assholes. Good on Chelsea and Roman.

I will say this. Roman did a lot of stuff early on that wasn't great. Chelsea have actually been run fairly well the last 5-6 years. Net spend pretty even. Not just splashing cash on players without major selling.

At this point, who gives a shite? All the talk about clamping down through FFP has proven hollow. What mechanism is in place to curb excessive spending has to be more thoughtful than FFP, and most importantly, enforceable.

Excited to see Mount's impact from further back. I had just asked opinions of this move, for him, last week.

Is he playing Kepa to get his value up to sell? That’s the only thought.
