Roll-up, roll up, grab a bargain while they are going cheap.
Don't think I'll bother.

Chelsea, as a club, are pathetic. A lot of their fans, not all, are pathetic. The headline in the Daily Mail (no I don't read it) saying that Chelsea now face a gruelling ten hour round trip by coach because they can't fly up there, is pathetic.
As for the owners fit and proper test. It took ages for Potless to take over at Town because he'd had a small scale betting ban. But these corrupt people get in without a flicker of opposition.
Pathetic!

Chelski are also saying it would cost them £60K to get to Boro. Well two things - how many people are they taking and what are they spending it on? Even if there's 60 of them (should be nowhere near) that £1000 per person. Secondly, "reasonable" travel and accommodation expenses are always paid by the home club.

As someone on SSN pointed out yesterday, Chelsea behaving like this about their situation when people are suffering and dying in Ukraine is obscene. He also said what happened to Bury wasn't the fans fault but it happened anyway. For once, someone putting some perspective in.
Having said that, someone else also said that Abramovich was hailed a hero 20 years ago. Well, maybe so by Chelsea but I seem to remember there being plenty of speculation about where his money came from, too, and it possibly being dodgy dealings ... was it porn or arms or something like that???? Even so, he managed to pass a fit and proper test. I wonder if any greasing the wheels will come out in the future, in that respect?
As for feeling sorry for a bus journey. How do they think the lower leagues go on travelling the length and breadth of the country (Scotland, too... that's far and wide) and more than likely in a lot less fancy coaches. And if it is cost we're talking about, any one of the players could pay for everyone travelling several times over. I'm sick of these prima donnas and their sob stories. Doe anyone remember Lou Macari having to pay for a coach himself? If ever the term FFS was more apt, please let me know.
And why don't they ask the refugees how to cope with a gruelling journey? Oh, and while they're at it, make them do it whilst leaving all their possessions behind.
Another phrase... WTAF????

First world problems of football fans feeling deprived, Overpaid footballers not wanting to travel in anything other than style.
Good to see that the Chelsea supporters Trust didn't agree with the club over playing the game behind closed doors, It just made Chelsea look silly.
Anyway on to matters closer to home, after last nights results we need a win to keep the pack at a distance. It's going to be a close call tonight, I can honestly say I'm not sure i know which way this will go. Maybe I need to put a bet on Millwall which will ensure we go home with at least a point, amazing how footballers know who I've bet on and then conspire to to send my bet down the pan

Bourne correctly theo. Ask for the other questions. I think tonight's the night. All good runs come to an end sometime.
