Yeah plus there would be very little trouble. I'm not going to Madrid but I can see it kicking off big style with Spurs fans. Both having huge numbers drinking a lot all day and the scouse ditties begin to come out from a few spurs fans and a few of our idiots react....hope i'm wrong.

The Chelsea thing is a really interesting case.  I’ve got to know a gang of lads from London quite well over the past 4/5 years.  Half of them are Chelsea fans the others support QPR, Watford, Spurs and Arsenal.  They’re all in their mid 20s and the Chelsea fans know nothing other than success really.  The thing I find weird is that most of the Chelsea fans brothers and dads all support different teams.  In the last year they’ve stopped watching football generally other than the big games.  It looks like the tap has been turned off for them.  Abramovich has fucked off and it looks like Hazard is about to as well.  They’ve got a transfer ban and in all likelihood a manager who will be looking for a payoff within the next 12 months.  It’s going to be interesting to see how they react to a continuous period of failure.  In all likelihood I think they will just not bother at all.

They actually don't really sound like real football fans to me at all,to be honest.

Looks like PSG are in it up to their necks as well. Doubt much will happen as has already been said, not much of a spine at UEFA.

Wouldn't take all that long before they were back to their early to mid 80's 12,000 average gates and early 90's 10,000 odd.

A one year CL ban would pretty much guarantee them the title. They'd have nothing else to play for. 

[coachpotato 463]

How come none of the UK papers are running with that story?

 

The usual “head in sand” shite no doubt.

By my algorithms a two point deduction would be equitable.

Feyenoord are far more likely to sing it than Ajax

A couple of city fans sent me this picture of 2 of them outside my bar this afto:

 

 

 

I responded with "Nice one lads. Your dream is our reality" and this picture. 

 

Top bants bro.

Sky News running with the "City could face European Ban" story coincidentally  just after the league is won.

Meanwhile Bolton get a 12 point deduction for their clubs financial misdemeanours

The classic shots from the front of the crowd so you can't see how small it is. That's unintentionally hilarious.

Both Gallaghers again - younger twat going on about playing a gig at Anfailed, older tory twat still bleating on about winning the league is letting him laugh about us 'having our moment' when we knocked them out the CL. That was 13 months ago you twat, fucking Spurs have knocked you out since then!

 

Horrible scruffy fuckers!

[Captain Turdseye 12,106]

That’s one of the most cringeworthy things I think I’ve ever seen. 

 

I mean, what kind of idiot would pay actual money for a pint of Carling?

This chimes with my experience working down here, actually about two of the lads I know who 'support' them have a significant soft sport for Newcastle 'because, I liked them in the nighties', you just know they were wandering round with those brown ale tops. I've also found that a lot of new emigres to London tended to have Chelsea as their favourite team, especially among the Portuguese and Russian fraternity.

 

To be honest if they do go into a period of decline it couldn't happen to a nicer club, they are the absolute pits.

They had their moment 25 years ago. A couple of decent riffs and the worst body of lyrics outside of Des'ree's "Life" really shouldn't make anyone take these giftless turds seriously.

Exactly. They'll bottle it again next season.
