15:25 and it’s practically night time. 

Horrible isnt it?

Glad its quite mild at the moment.  Had a problem with my hot water today so thankfully its not been freezing

The fans have been great in my opinion. Ok we are winning home games but thw fans are geftjng behind the team. It started under deano and has generally continued despite thw blip under gerrard. Even when we lost games last season under emery the fans backed the team and manager.

There is a real togetherness between fans and the players. Its superb

We aren't playing at their ground though. Or are you talking about getting to the stadium that they're borrowing for the match?

The stadium the games at.

Didnt realise it wasnt their ground. Why are we not playing at their stadium?

Blose have cardoff tomorrow night if they lose that, they have leicester at home saturday which will be a very tough game for shrek.

They could be very close to relegation zone if they lose those two

Sold out at the 3+ Away Conference League matches level didn't it? If people are buying tickets and not bothering to go they should be blacklisted for any other european tickets, there's plenty more of us who'd love a chance.

Think it sold out before people checking how to ac tually get there. Its absolute nightmare to get to!

James should just retire. Your lucky if you get 10 games out of him

Plus Lukaku, Azpilicueta, Kepa, Kovacic, Mount, Loftus Cheek, Aubameyang, Pulisic and Ziyech off the books. Few more as well

Lukaku yeah true he was on silly wages.  But of all these players the ones out on loan do we know if the ithee club is covering 100% of the wages?

Wouldnt suprise me if chelsea are covering some of those wages

This has happened in the Turkish League.

 

 

 

Surely a ban for life and a jail sentence. 

Animal

Tbh its not the recruitment the injuries have decimated them. I think even we would struggle with that volume of injuries

I think full strength they are a decent team

Have to say as much as im nit a fan of them their recruitment style is a lot better than chelseas

And only about £700k/w off their salary budget

Yet they added more than that to their wage bill

Cant see a big villa following after reading how hard it is to get there.

The villa boys may have to do this one without us

Forgot about him

God we need him to do well

How is gonçalves doing? We were hevaily linked with him in summer wonder if we will go back in for him

Im.actually going charlotte, south carolina in april to visit my mate what a coincidence. 

Ill catch a game if playing

On verge of being named charlotte boss.

Good opportunity for him. Good luck deano!

He’s actually a pretty good pundit

His rant about Ten Hag is spot on. 

Yeah i quite like goldbridge tbh.

That squad is so poor dyche is performing miracles there

Good thing for them that Boehly has Saudi backing and they have a easy way to generate funds through the Saudi league transfers.

Thats the only thing saving them - nothing else.

However what happens if chelsea start doing well then it starts effectiving newcastles place in the league. That's when it gets tricky for chelsea. As newcastle will be saudis no 1 priority not chelsea.

They are on longer contracts so have lower salaries. Its been mentioned many times that was the plan

Mudryk alone is on 100k a week

Nkuku 195k a week

Enzo 180k a week

Cucrella 175k a week

Caidedo 150k a week

And these guys are not even the heavy hitters

Sterling 325k a week

James 250k a week

Fofona 200k a week

Chilwell 200k a week

So where are the lower salaries? Its the huge transfer fees thats spread over the contract term [8 years] thats helped them with FFP

5k fans less potentiall watching our first year in CL (fingers crossed) would be a tad frustrating but long term better for club

I'd go with:

 

                                   Olsen

Cash         Chambers      Lenglet      Digne

                               Dendoncker   

                             Luiz          Ramsey

                         Zaniolo        Diaby

                                    Duran        

 

 

Subs: Martinez, Konsa, Torres, Carlos, Moreno, Watkins, McGinn, Kamara, Bailey.

                           

 

 

Thats a really good lineup tbh

If things start badly we can always bring watkins and some of the heavy hitters on to make a impact

It's wishful thinking dem, their revenue is huge because over the last 20 years while the PL has seen insane growth in global audiences Chelsea have been the most successful team 

They'll take the £80-100m hit due to no CL and probably won't be able to spend £400m next summer but their revenue will still be 3x ours, that's the head start that they have, their advantage over the other 14 is monstrous 

Just like man utd and arsenal they'll have a bad few years and then be competing again and those bad few years will still be finishing in European spots and getting to cup finals 

We just need to make hay while the sun shines because they'll be back

I think one thing that we havent accounted for are these HUGE contracts. Their squads **** massive and all their newbies must be on huge wages. I bet chuck alone is on close to 100k a week so cant imagine how much the high end players are on.

Also the fact that alot of these players are on 6-8 contracts how will they move the ones that are not good enough on? None of them will want to go they getting paid and can sit cushy for years.

I think they going to be in massive trouble unless their saudi mates bail them out of course

If you want to be sure you’re calling the right people always get the phone number from their website, rather than an email/text. Then you can sort out whatever the issue is over the phone.

You can pay money into your account at a post office if there is no local bank branch.

The post office near me are so bad. They are under staffed, rude and just not very helpful 

Prefer banks tbh.

Yeah i do check but i really dont like giving my card details over the phone tbh. Always been like this
