owlinexile Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Does success in a daft game really mean that much to YOU? It definitely doesn't to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1867owl Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Fans of all clubs would do it. It's not a Chelsea thing. It's them sticking their fingers up in a time of adversity. Plus they're not exactly singing Vladmir Putin's name. It's completely moronic, but we'd do the same (not every supporter, obviously). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putney Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Every club have their fair share of morons, in the case of Chelsea it’s a much higher percentage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The owner, a section of their fans, John Terry etc. They sold their soul to the devil, won all there is to win with his money, and now it may all come to roost.

Does that mean they can't pay the players then? A few months of that and there'll be issues there. Think players can walk away after so long without pay, plus as we've seen, threats of points deductions follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owlinexile Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Abramivich clearly knew about Russia's planned invasion well in advance. Started trying to protect his assets at least four days before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Something rather apt about them playing Newcastle this weekend. Another club awash with blood money. The Saudis have been bombing the poo out of Yemen for several years, have journalists chopped up etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scram Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Awks... Quote At which point three possibilities present themselves. Alan Shearer has never heard of the war in Yemen. Alan Shearer is unaware of who Mohammed bin Salman is, or what he does as his main day job. Or third, Alan Shearer is wiling to overlook both of these things because he really likes and cares about Newcastle United. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/mar/11/shouldnt-someone-in-football-also-care-about-the-war-in-yemen-just-a-little 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owls2k Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 I think it was Henry Winter's (the footballing writer's equivalent of an IKEA wardrobe with an integral part missing) tweet about it that made me think. Roman apparently wasn't a problem all these years but now he is? What about Newcastle and Man City's owners? Funnily enough I think the Chelsea fans when singing about their owner are singing about him rather than going against the people of Ukraine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine being a closeted player at Newcastle, or even a member of staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
