Ah kev...hope you had a good Christmas,,red wine,,yearly true indulgance was the most expensive bottle of red wine (or any wine) I have ever purchased..and worth every penny.......as a real OG saving for a rainy day is not cost effective! OK all settled for the game...I want a Chelsea win as always..if I want to watch classic football I'll choose a likely game or rerun...I'm a basic Chelsea supporter wishing only for points...sort of the wine analogy in reverse!

Sciatika Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 My worry is Badiashile. He has made a mistake in both the last two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the teamsheet was meant to give that impression I guess we woud see Gusto and Maatsen as either both part of the back 5 or both part of the middle 4. But the way it is written suggests Gusto as an FB in a back 4 and Maatsen as CM3. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chara Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 OK add on ;;;hope your cocktail works Sam and all you other anesthesia seekers! Hopefully as the true dire relegation candidates settle in for a desperate battle..see recent results... Chelsea can just about stay above that maelstrom and get through the season...points deduction question... Can anyone actually provide the facts of the so called irregularities reported to the All Powerful as opposed to media speculation ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not having a go but can we put to bed that we looked good in pre-season. Pre-season teams never give 100% effort. And yes we were okay but we weren’t great either.

Can anyone actually provide the facts of the so called irregularities reported to the All Powerful as opposed to media speculation ? Don't think they've been revealed yet. There appear to be two separate issues: the ones the club drew the FA's attention to (incomplete accounting, or something like that), and the undeclared payments made by RA to people supposedly representing players we signed (Hazard, Willian among others) that emerged via some leaked documents. They may or may not be the same payments - noone seems to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chara Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 (edited) @Backbiter Thanks for that..was about how I thought things were but with so much doom and gloom I thought perhaps Chelsea were to blame for everything bad in the World! As I recall Everton were warned and still carried on....until the facts are revealed it's impossible to even contemplate any repercussions,,,not trying to understate the possible disaster just know that one should fight the battle on the day after good preperation...not waste energy and emotion on maybe's....throws you into the hands of the opposition!
