I don't play football games, so I can't even read/pronounce half of them. Lol

It should be Plovdiv obviously, it has an imploding ring to it.

Odds are fans of most of them are Googling Chelsea and learning about a flower show.

We should buy half of these teams, and each team will get a GK from Chelsea as part of the deal 😎

I think I've heard of 6 of them, and I can tell which country 14-15 are based from the names. Rest...not a clue.

I hate that this competition is being disparaging so much, I used to love going to random places in the cup winners, UEFA cup etc. We've win every available European trophy other than this one I think, I'm looking forward to seeing us in this one.

We could play the losers of Panathinikos/A**x which was the 1971 European Cup Final

We win it we've won every European trophy on offer.

To be fair the Cup Winners' Cup and UEFA Cup/Europa League actually had a certain level of prestige given the quality of teams involved. This competition is at best the same level as the old post-season Intertoto Cup. 

That said, it will be a serious challenge to win regardless of the opposition. Many of the teams in the competition are comfortably mid-table or over-performers, meaning they are able to prioritise the competition in a way we might not.

Methinks we will be prioritising it.

Not to mention we need the first trophy under the new ownership ASAP, regardless of what it is.

Am a bit annoyed. The Chelsea Supporters Trust Annual General Meeting will be held at Stamford Bridge on 7 September and I'm going to miss it.  Could be very interesting given what's going on at the club. Hopefully it will be recorded and I can post the recording in due course. @Munkunku are you still a member of the CST and will you be going along or watching the livestream?

Sounds like won of those community engagement projects, where they smile, and make believe they address your concerns are  valid, whist thinking “ f**k you. This is our show now “

Braga or Servette. Braga are no mugs, surely we couldn’t fluff our lines?

Can anyone explain why we are singing so many freaking players ?

A transfer ban right now would almost be a blessing in disguise!!

Yeah there are some suggestions the club are anticipating a lengthy ban + penalties given the investigation under Roman and Clearlake are planning ahead.

To be fair though, about 15 of those players are gonna be sold or loaned out. Although we do need to get a move on
