Agree. Seen quite a few posts on the wonderweb, and here, from people getting rid of varnigh everyone except the 4 signings (no Wood, obvs), Wilson and ASM. Reckon there'll be no more than 4. All way better than what we have. Rinse, repeat every window until we're mint.

Spat me tea out reading this Barnsley fan's comment

Plymouth winning.

Nice stuff to hear. Knows his onions, this lad...

I like him in adverts mind ?

Before he went "rogue" ?

Apols, if SEB, but I can't get my head around the level of disrespect here....

Full page article in the last Private, Eye on Abramovich & Chelsea. Apart from the sanctions being a joke the numbers are eye watering. The debt & running costs aren't viable. I'm thinking the only way any buyers will make money, if that's the aim, will be through a super league.

This her...

Don't normally go for these homemade ditties but seeing as I know this kid....

Maybees the defeat, and nature of, hurts more if you've suddenly bought into the myth we're a top10 team. I'll give you a clue, we're not. Was always going to be a tough game, a la Chelsea, and I thought we did well until zip-wire. Went to pieces after the sending off but they looked tired. Welcome break now to replenish and go again. Ps Everton were never gonna be reigated Ps some of our supporters need a reality check.

I'd rather see 1000 felons, however deviant, banged up for life if it meant 1 innocent party wasn't executed. Emotionally, I could easily see off nonces, rapists etc but the justice system doesnt and shouldnt be led by emotion. The US has a long record of innocent (usually men, usually black) being released from death row. We've a shit record as well never mind how many kids die whilst in custody. "political correctness" "cancel culture" "woke" "sportswashing" & "whataboutary" have been spoon-fed into the public domain, ironically, to subjugate discourse. Top and bottom of it all is our Gvt does considerable business with SA Inc the means to bombard Yemen. They ain't gonna flex anything. The Premier League have accepted the takeover. They ain't gonna flex anything either. As for Chelsea, these oligarchs have been buying London and tories for years. Having said that Gordon Brown was first to lay out the red carpet whilst the supposed "Putin apologist" Jeremy Corbyn was warning against allowing them and their money into the UK Football's fucked. The UK's fucked. All by Foriegn money. In short... "Toon, Toon"

Wouldn't even have been a red card under Mr Coote

I'm less critical of players like him than I am players like ASM. He might be limited but plays within those. He's decent enough and has put in a shift for this club. Hell I'm old enough to remember the suggestion, quite understandably, that he was getting towards international level. I'm not inclined to put the boot into players that have found themselves at a stagnant football club, managered by a succession of wankers (barring Rafa who got a tune out of them) and done the best they can. Just because we've suddenly got a few quid. Disingenuous at best.

There's a lot to take in with the club/team's transformation but one thing stands out even above results. That's the players' commentary of the present. You can just see, man. It's like someone's flicked a switch. Even though they might have liked cabbageheed they, now, know he was killing them. Lights are on now.

SWIFT doesn't include the energy supply. We, the west, are still trading with Russia. iirc obvs https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/is-war-ukraine-impacting-russian-gas-supplies-europe-2022-03-07/

This weapon thinks...... 100k dead from an unnecessary "austerity" ideology 100K dead from reckless covid miss-management Tens of £billions stolen from the public coffers into the hands of tory donors and family Absolute closing down of free-speech and protest NHS on the home run of privatisation Potential WW3.......er............could've been worse Exactly why we're so fucked in one post. UK RIP

Makes me laugh all the belated handwringing over gangster oligarchs and despotic regimes. People were warned when Abramovitch first bought Chelsea. By none other than Corbyn, for one, and many others. Julian Assange is rotting away in a UK prison for being an international whistleblower ffs. We do £billions of war sales to the Saudis. They, like their Russian counterparts, own half of London. An equally criminal oligarchy, the US, has undermined our "democracy" since WW2. Tufton St. being the control centre of their activities. China, Israel, they're all "at it" here. Up front it's called lobbying but it's basically corruption of power. That's why brexit happened. To isolate Britain completely. So we exist in a country embroiled in dirty money and there's fuck all, barring a revolution, we can do about it. This so called sanctioning of Abramovich is a fraud. Christ they gave him and the banks 30 days notice man. Johnson, under pressure to sanction his paymasters accidently named Abramovich in the HoC. He was then forced by the Russian Don to retract that statement the very next day so he could continue shipping his wealth. They may let Chelsea suffer/be sold and/or let Everton crumble. In the wider scheme a couple of billion is small beer and clubs folding looks like they've gone hardball. Whole things a joke.

All but 1 of the 9/11 terrorists were Saudi

Apart from the, obvious fact, "Corbyn's lot (sic)" weren't in power there's also.......... https://www.thelondoneconomic.com/news/jeremy-corbyns-2001-warning-about-valdimir-putin-resurfaces-314188/ https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/russian-oligarchs-tories-cleverly-corbyn-b2022242.html Idiotic crack by gullible Englishmen like you are why this country's fucked. Imho, obvs.

They're bombing the Yemenis with OUR bombs, many from OUR planes. In fact they purchase more of our aircraft than they need. Hmmm

Quite. Huge misgivings about the Saudi regime and the tory bastard Reubens. However, like many warmongering, greedy states we're complicit in their wars etc. The Ruebens may have been part of the western invasion that was encouraged by the west to take advantage of the Russian, post-Yeltsin free for all but they got out/were chased when Putin decided to return that wealth back into his gangsters hand. Whatever the morality of our owners, we're not on the hit list. As for Chelsea/Everton et al, I'm a cynic so don't expect much will come of it. Having said that, if sacred cows are going to be thrown under a bus, this gvt may just push for examples to be made. Bit more smoke and mirrors.

Looking forward to an RTG thread title.. "That blerk who threw his season phone at Alex when we were getting beat off Sutton at half time"
