So of the players that travelled, only Bulka is not starting or on the bench, did I see that right?

I want to, but the people that are paying my wages want me to do something in return early the next morning. So unfair

Not a good date Can someone go on my behalf?

When? Whenwhenwhenwhenwhen?

Was there speculation about to what club he would be loaned?

Some booing might be my response, certainly not screaming abuse.

I really don't understand the urge to get into someone's face and scream abuse, but perhaps that is just me. Good-natured banter is quite different in my view.

Ah, the self-pity "we're victimised" angle

That's exactly what the police are investigating, as racial abuse is a crime. And it seems to me that abuse, even if it's not racial or homophobic or whatever, can be as unpleasant to one who is on huge wages as for one on low wages. The fact that it's deemed "normal" - mostly by the abusers - doesn't make it more palatable.

Even if he did, that doesn't diminish the nastiness of racial abuse. Surely you're not saying he has no right to complain about racial abuse?

Is Piazon eligable to play in the Europa League?

Don't you yell racist abuse because you think that's despicable or because you're afraid to get caught?

He's already been banned, Strider, so Goodbye Chelsea1082 is more appropriate.

Check our banned members.

Do we have a reserve kit man and reserve tea lady (or a kit lady / tea man)? If so, use 'em.
