Football

You don’t be an oligarch without learning a few things about shell games

VAR City back at it again. Not sure how Rodri got away with that one.

This is what I assume.

What’s the point of VAR. 100% a handball

The only thing that that Abramovich statement changes is just that the money can be laundered through CFC still without government sanctions.

He’s not distanced himself politically from the war monger at all and shouldn’t be welcomed back as owner ever.

If they were 2 up then that would’ve been given as a pen, but with the lack of Russian money in the league for the foreseeable, the prem need to keep other rich owners on board.

Remember when the ball hit Moutinho’s armpit?

Can’t believe City just got away with that.

VAR statement: “Not clear enough evidence to show conclusively that it was handball”

It’s a fucking football match not a court of law, you don’t need to prove mens rea, you just need to look at the cocking video: https://twitter.com/Lfc_Hrob/status/1497652013848576002?s=20&t=1NEsD2dlimozD2LZDR4qKA

Daft thing about that clear handball by a city player is that it was less blatant than the clear handball by a Southampton player (Romeu) last week which got no coverage because they’re Southampton. Either way, a tough one to take. I’m telling myself Ederson saves it to ease the sting.

Bielsa gone, resigned

Jesse Marsch replacing him, apparently. He’s a manager I would have liked at Everton. Be interested to see how he does.

Yep Chelsea fans it is about time you came out and justified your support for abro.
Then city and Newcastle fans can have a good think about the excuses for not protesting their owners.

Clubs official statement has gone out:

The situation in Ukraine is horrific and devastating. Chelsea FC’s thoughts are with everyone in Ukraine. Everyone at the club is praying for peace.

I’ve got no idea between the relation of the senile/loco Putin and Abramovich

That is extremely slopey-shouldered. They have a very close relationship. Abramovich is rich because he is as corrupt as hell and part of Putin's inner circle. When will Chelsea fans wake up? Disgusting.

Mealy mouthed. Don't even mention Russia and use conflict instead of invasion. Hope they get battered today.

Exactly this. Fuck Chelsea

Three sentences!

I assumed this was a snippet so went to the site to read the whole thing.

Lol

Mealy mouthed.

Extremely.

Been working but had it on van radio.

We deserve penalties

And now have them.

Ha. Funny.

Fuck me that was good

Lol Kepa. Should have refused to come on.
