Thank you.

Don't get me started on test cricket else the foul language filter will get clogged up.

In sh*t times,  this made me smile. Characters like this are for me what football is about, both on the field and the terraces

I thought of this too. Roman may want to favour non-Anglo American bidders more due to how he has been treated. A sort of sour grapes but somehow justified.
On the 1.5 billion debt being written off, this can be treated as a "Force Majeure". Irresistible compulsion to write it off by Roman. Due to the sanctions, he couldn't be paid. A typical example is when a creditor dies, how does the debtor pay? So, I think worst scenario for Chelsea is that, the 1.5 billion will be recognised as a gift or income and we will be liable to pay tax on it.

At this point in time and seeing that whatever we do we are criticised (we invaded Ukraine, we are going to walk out debt free, we are incompatible with integrity, and all that sh*t that’s been thrown at us by pundits, politicians and other football clubs), I’d go with the bid that pissed everyone off most. f**k ‘em all!

This how thing baffles me... seems like daylight robbery. I don't understand how a government can just seize billions of his assets and sell them, and then do as they wish with the money. What do they have on him to justify this? What crimes has Roman committed in the UK to allow our government to just take his money? If he was involved do we not think he would have seen this as a possibility and sold up before it all eventuated. I guess we only hear one side of the story, and even then it seems very speculative... I can't believe the fact he owns shares in a company that "may" have sold steel to the Russian military be enough evidence to justify all of this.
I can understand that they are looking to cripple the Russian economy, but could they not just do this by blocking his international dealings, meaning that the money he has in the UK stays in the UK. 
If anyone has any further info on this that will shed some more light please go ahead.

Which ironically just serves to confirm what a massive club we are now.
This level of interest in a club is unprecedented.

Offers confirmed by Media so far, purchase price of club.
 
Saudi Media - 2.7bill
BWG - between 2 and 2.5bill (no one is exactly sure how much between these figures)
Ricketts-Griffin 2bill
WJ - 2bill
Ken Bates 1 pound 

If only, it would have made my day. He was there to watch though, alongside this man

I don't know if this is the right place to put this or not, apologies if not. 
I'm a Huddersfield fan and thought I would give you a quick update on this little gem you have. Smith Rowe , Ben Chillwell, Trev Cholobah to name a few all started their careers with us, and we all said how good they are, but Levi is just simply on a different level. After a few games we all said he will be England captain one day, now I'm thinking it really wouldn't surprise me if he ends up in Qatar this year (squad player) if he can break into your squad this summer. 
You are probably thinking this is a completely blown out of proportion post but he is already probably the best CB in the championship at the age of 18. Last year we shipped the most goals in the entire league, this year we are 3rd in the clean sheet chart, and he is a huge part of that.
He is simply years ahead of his age, and probably is the most promising young CB player I have witnessed in my lifetime. I understand its just the championship, but give him a run of games and you will see just what you have.
There are rumours of lower end prem teams looking to buy, but I would be gobsmacked if you would let such a promising talent go, so we all have our fingers crossed we can keep him until year end.
Either way, what a future this young lad has and we are all looking forward to seeing his rise in the game. Do you have anymore we can have?

feeling slighlty better since the bin dippers have lost too ..

I have a bad feeling about the ManUtd match on the 28th. The refs will probably put in a shift for MU that would make Howard Webb proud.

I think sometimes Tuchel is too honest. All he had to say was that Mendy was back and that we had some players to check on before the game at 12.30. Pep was asked about his 5 injured players and didn't give any information on who could play and who couldn't , he just said some can and some can't. Now with Mason out it is obvious we will play a 352 .

Great video by Feroze again

Must say that might be Emerson's best game in a Chelsea shirt. Once he moved to right wing LOL

Team I expect to see is
Willy
Azpi Zouma Rudiger Alonso
Mount Kante Havertz
CHO Giroud Werner

I'd probably go for this (based on the players I understand to be available):
 
-----------------------------Caballero
Azpilicueta--------Rudiger--------Zouma-------Alonso
-------------------------------Kanté
---------------------RLC---------------Mount
----Hudson-Odoi-----------------------------Werner
----------------------------Abraham
