  3. You'll hear a lot of 'this isn't fair, we didn't do anything wrong, it's not our fault', fuck off; you cheered the last 15 years whilst getting trophies off the back of the Putin regime's ill gotten gains. You waved the plastic flags. You sang about how rich you were. You sang about Abramovich when there was an applause for the Ukraine. Fuck off back to the holes you crawled out of, you polished-up Millwall cunts.

  7. Easy to say when you’ve not got bombs falling on your head. Maybe Putin should stop killing kids and talk, then the west wouldn’t need to try to get them weapons to defend themselves against a unilateral invasion and wholesale slaughter. You’ll be very embarrassed to look back on these posts one day. You’ll ask yourself ‘what kind of mindset resulted in me watching Russia indiscriminately bombing civilians, maternity wards, and shooting families fleeing for their lives and choosing to criticise Zelensky trying to defend himself and the Western powers trying to help them do so’. At least I hope you will.

  13. Ouch! Sounds like some old scores being settled here. And funny how now, after 19 years, the trophies are only now described as 'tainted.! Should have massive fucking asterisks against them if you ask me, same for city. He does make a great point about travelling to Norwich though. After 19 years of writs and injunctions, Roman Abramovich can no longer steam-clean his reputation through his lawyers. His fierce and long-litigated claims that he has nothing to do with Vladimir Putin today lie in the same deep freeze as his British assets. No sooner does a Treasury document reveal his passport numbers than it labels him a “pro-Kremlin oligarch” and Putin as a figure “with whom Abramovich has had a close relationship for decades”. Chelsea’s owner is found by the Government to have been not just a sympathiser of the Russian president but a man who has used this connection for his own financial and material benefit, whether through “tax breaks, buying and selling shares from and to the state at favourable rates” or “contracts received in the run-up to the 2018 World Cup”. This, then, is the figure for whom Amanda Staveley, financier of the Saudi sovereign wealth fund’s similarly grim acquisition of Newcastle United, feels “really sad”. This is the individual about whom former Chelsea captain John Terry posts mawkish tweets, describing him as “the best” and attaching a cluster of blue heart emojis. This is the same benefactor whose name Chelsea fans still chant in helpless gratitude, even when it ruins a minute’s applause to mark the myriad atrocities that Putin is inflicting upon Ukraine. It is one of the game’s bleaker truths that many fans care far less about the dubious origins of their clubs’ money than about how much there is to burn on the latest larcenously-priced left-back. After multiple reports that the Saudi state had ordered the murder and dismemberment of a journalist, grown men turned up with their sons at St James’ Park with dishcloths on their heads, a shabby mock-sheikh tribute to their buyers. Even in the midst of disgrace, Abramovich will still have his credulous acolytes in the stands. Even the Government’s devastating accusation that he is, via his mining company Evraz, involved in “destabilising Ukraine and threatening the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine” will not deter those who have hung “The Roman Empire” banners all around Stamford Bridge. But the collective delusion is plain for everybody to see. It was grim enough that Abramovich bankrolled Chelsea’s transformation with the billions he amassed at Sibneft, an oil giant that even his own lawyer admitted had been acquired through a “rigged” auction. It is to his club’s graver discredit that he now finds himself exposed as a henchman of Putin, whose forces are reducing maternity wards in Mariupol to rubble. At times like these, it is apt to remember those who have incurred the full force of his litigious wrath. Take Catherine Belton and HarperCollins, the author and publisher of Putin’s People, against whom he settled a libel claim last December. Belton described how, for 12 months, she had been caught in a “war of attrition”, in which she was “bombarded with lawsuits”. One of the 26 passages by which Abramovich purported to be defamed stated that he was under the “control of President Vladimir Putin”. And yet a mere 10 weeks on, we see this claim supported in black and white on Treasury letterhead. “Abramovich,” the department declares, “has received preferential treatment and concessions from Putin and the government of Russia.” One positive upshot of the Abramovich affair would, as Conservative MP Bob Seely has argued, be an end to the intimidation of a free media by “oligarchs and kleptocrats”. But in the short term, it cannot hurt Chelsea to learn the meaning of humility. Under Abramovich, a man whose largesse extends to buying a flotilla of superyachts and his own Boeing 787 Dreamliner, the club mastered the art of ostentatious excess. At the height of their spending, they would travel to a game in Norwich on a 25-minute charter flight. How deliciously ironic, then, that the first trip taken under their newly-straitened circumstances, with away-day spending capped at £20,000, should be to Carrow Road. This time, they would be lucky to afford an overnight stay at a Premier Inn. Chelsea have long bristled at being caricatured as vulgarians. Each one of 18 trophies won under Abramovich’s ownership would somehow be portrayed as proof of his noble intentions and clarity of vision. Even Thomas Tuchel, an intelligent manager who has spoken eloquently in recent days about being caught in the crossfire, has fallen prey to this blind loyalty. After lifting the Club World Cup in Abu Dhabi last month, he offered a paean to his employer more gushing than any spokesperson could script. “I told him, ‘This is for you, it is your club. Your input and passion have made it possible’. This trophy is for him.” How naive those words now look. Within a month, the owner depicted by Tuchel as a paragon of virtue has been identified and sanctioned by the Government as a direct associate of a head of state unleashing vast bloodshed and slaughter against a sovereign neighbour. Even amid the mayhem, Abramovich still desperately sought to salvage his image: first came the suggestion that he was participating in peace talks on Ukraine’s side, despite not having once condemned Russia for invading, then the assurance that any “net proceeds” of a Chelsea sale would be channelled towards reconstruction efforts. Neither ruse helped avert the outcome he feared most. His beloved Chelsea cannot even shift any further match tickets, with Government convinced he is complicit in enabling a murderous tyrant. Let this once-unthinkable turmoil - the ban on everything from player signings to merchandise sales - become an indelible part of the Abramovich legacy. Difficult though this might be for Chelsea supporters to swallow, every achievement over which he has presided, from the five league titles to the nights of European glory, belongs now to an irredeemably tainted enterprise. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2022/03/10/every-chelsea-success-roman-abramovich-era-now-tainted/

  17. Weird game this. We never looked like ourselves and we definitely can’t say we played well, yet we dominated the game, hit the woodwork three times and saw two other certain goals prevented by heroic blocks. Inter basically had one and half chances and scored from one of them. Contrary to much of the post match analysis we’ve seen, we deserved to go through over the two legs but the way we did it definitely leaves something of a bitter taste. We didn’t exactly back door our way in to the last eight but we certainly didn’t roar into it either, in the way that Bayern did for example. Ultimately though it really doesn’t matter. This ‘defeat’ will bother me for a few days but then it will be forgotten as there are no consequences to it. It hasn’t hurt us other than maybe knocked the aura of Anfield invincibility a touch. It may even help as it shows what can happen if we aren’t at full throttle. So what went wrong? Well it’s easy to point to all of the near misses and put it down to one of those nights, but there was more to it than that. We never looked right all night, especially at the top end of the pitch. The passing wasn’t sharp, the movement never looked right and the forwards seemed to lose the ball every single time they had it. That’s maybe harsh on Sadio as he wasn’t bad, but Diogo and Mo were shite in the first half. Mo got better after the break and his second half display was fine, but Jota just couldn’t get going and frankly I’m amazed he lasted 80 minutes before eventually making way for Diaz. Inter were feisty and positive and made life very difficult for us, but they didn’t threaten much. They pressed us well and they passed around our press, but they just seemed a bit toothless up front. Sanchez was given the nod over Dzeko and to be fair he rolled back the years and put in a quality performance until his costly sending off. I’ll get to that in a bit. The energy and desire showed by him really took me by surprise. I don’t know how he’s done for Inter but I remember how fat and shit he was at United. This was more like the Arsenal Sanchez though. Lively, skilful, hard working, he was popping up fucking everywhere. I was really impressed. Some will say he should have been sent off for a high, studs up challenge on Thiago. I would say he certainly could have been sent off for that, and it looks particularly bad on the freeze frame of the moment of impact. But watching it at full speed I’d say a red card would have been somewhat harsh, simply because there was a lack of force behind it. It was a rake of the studs rather than a full force, dangerous impact challenge. The ref could have justified a red if he’d wanted to, but for me a yellow was just about right. It’s one of the few things the prick did get right all night. What the hell was wrong with him? He’s been refereeing at the top level for donkey’s years and he’s done loads of our games. I had a generally positive view of him before this but he was fucking hopeless. At one point I was thinking Inter had paid off another ref, but then he sent Sanchez off who dispelled that theory. He was not biased, as I’m sure Inter are just as baffled by a lot of his decisions as we are. He fluctuated from giving no free kicks at all to giving them for absolutely nothing. They weren’t major decisions, thankfully, but so many of the minor decisions were just completely wrong. As an example, Virgil was about to head the ball clear and was blatantly shoved in the back and missed his header. Such an obvious foul, but this clown said play on. A second later Dumfries is taking a tumble after minimal contact from Robbo (I’m not sure he touched him at all) and not only is he giving a free-kick but he’s booking Robbo, who is immediately pointing to where the Virgil challenge took place and is yelling “THAT’S A FOUL!”. There were loads of things like that, it was embarrassing to watch at times he was getting so much wrong. The worst decision (or I should say non-decision) of the night was when a defender just barged into Mo from behind and flattened him about a second before the ball even arrived, and he gave nothing. That is legitimately one of the worst calls I’ve ever seen. It was genuinely incredible. He definitely didn’t help but as woeful as he was I’m not using him as an excuse for how we played. In fact, he probably made life easier for us by sending off Sanchez. Again, that’s a decision that you can give or you can ignore. You can say it’s a yellow because he caught Fabinho with his follow through, but if I’m honest I absolutely hate that decision. Sanchez wins the ball and his follow through isn’t high, it’s basically on the floor as he tries to pull his foot down to avoid contact with Fabinho. We shouldn’t be giving cards for those. We shouldn’t even be giving free-kicks. It’s different when the follow through is high, but I think that’s harsh. Maybe I need to just get used to it though as that’s the way the game has gone. It had a huge impact on the game because had just gone ahead on the night and we were set for a potentially very edgy last 20 minutes or so. Their confidence was now up after that brilliant strike by the otherwise anonymous Lautoro Fernandez but almost immediately the wind was taken out of their sails with the sending off. Actually Fernandez had another chance just before the goal. A much easier chance, but it hit Robbo on the heel and deflected wide. Given how shite he’d been over the two games it was a surprise when he rocketed one into the top corner. Bad goal from our point of view, as Joel gave it away cheaply and we never dealt with what came next. Hell of a finish though. When they scored I was worried. Not massively so as I expected a response from us and we were still ahead in the tie, but there was concern there because of how we’d been playing. If the sending off doesn’t happen when it does, who knows how this tie would have gone? So I didn’t blame the Inter coaching staff and subs going mad about it. One of them was sent to the stands for taking his protests too far, although Simone Inzaghi stayed fairly calm, to his credit. Imagine Simeone in that situation! That decision killed any chance they had because there was no way ten men were going to complete the comeback against us. So any concern I had when they scored disappeared when Sanchez did. I was hoping we would avoid defeat though as losing at Anfield is something that massively bothers me now because our record here is so great in recent years (at least when fans are present). We’ve been on such a great run of late that it’s something ideally you’d want to keep going, but then losing a game that doesn’t actually matter can be a good thing in the long run. We just didn’t look right and there were lots of examples of it. Whether it’s Joel’s weak ball down the line that led to the Inter goal or Robbo failing to beat the only covering defender with his cross when it was easier to bypass him and pick out one of the three team-mates that were running into the box unopposed, it was evident all night from most of the team. Two of our better players were Jones and Thiago and they were the first ones to be subbed. I didn’t agree with that but at the same time I do think Henderson and Keita gave us more control than we had previously. Then again, Inter were down to ten men so that made a big difference. I liked what I saw from Curtis but I don’t think we got him the ball enough. He looked bright and sharp when he had it but we couldn’t really build up any momentum as every time the ball went the forwards they invariably lost it cheaply. Thiago was involved more and he played well I thought. He won the ball back brilliantly on a few occasions with slide tackles and I assume his withdrawal was just a precaution following his injury. It did surprise me that with five subs to call on that Klopp didn’t make a change up front earlier. To me the game was crying out for Diaz but maybe because we were still creating chances Klopp wanted to see how it played out. Mo hit the post twice and it just one of those nights for him. I don’t think he did anything wrong with either chance, it’s just unlucky really. The first one comes after some lovely play by Thiago. Jota challenged the keeper and his punch fell to Mo. It looked like the goal was gaping but there were defenders back on the line so he had to try to place it in the corner and it hit the post. The second one was from a lovely pass by Sadio and Mo did everything right with the finish, it just didn’t go in. It happens, but far better it happens in this game than in the league. Diaz eventually came on and looked great again. He looked like he’d salvaged a draw for us late on but Vidal arrived from absolutely nowhere to make a block. That typified Inter’s resilience. Woodwork great last ditch defending was the main reason we lost this game. In the first half they survived a couple of major scares too. Joel headed against the bar and then Virgil had a goal bound header blocked by a defender. He didn’t know much about it but his desire to get in front of his man and try to impact the play probably deserved some reward. They defended very well and they had luck when they needed it. Sometimes that happens. There’s no cause for concern at this point although there’s no denying that ee weren’t at our best last weekend against West Ham and we were off it again in this one. It’s possibly a result of winning the League Cup Final and then dropping off just a fraction in terms of focus and intensity. We’ll get it back, hopefully soon and before it actually does cost us. Star man was probably Trent. His set-piece delivery was great, as was most of his crossing in general, while he also made some decisive contributions defensively. It’s going to be interesting to see how many changes Klopp makes this weekend. I don’t expect too many but who knows, he’s done it before where he makes eight changes out of the blue just to give us fresh legs. I don’t know if tiredness has contributed to the last couple of performances, but if it has then maybe we’ll see sweeping changes at Brighton. Personally I don’t think it is tiredness, but it’s probably worth freshening it up at least a little. Hendo will come back in after not starting this one, we might see Konate too. We have to see Diaz as he’s the liveliest of all of our forwards right now, and certainly the one who loses the ball the least. Since Potter arrived there Brighton have played us as well as anybody has but that needs to stop now. We need the points but we also need a performance. Hopefully this kick up the arse we had against Inter will refocus the team and get us playing our football again. Alisson: Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson; Fabinho, Thiago (Henderson), Jones (Keita); Salah, Jota (Diaz), Mané:

On the anniversary of the violent attempt to overturn democracy on Capitol Hill, I reminded him of some of the comments he posted on here that day and subsequently about that, in the hope that it might make him reflect on his belief that the sources he seeks out are true and everyone else is taken in by propaganda, as well as the hypocrisy of the latest bout of peace-loving, freedom-fighting, anti-authoritarianism rhetoric he was indulging in, re the covid restrictions. I might as well have been speaking to a door. The guy's in far too deep. He holds up Glen Greenwald as a paragon of truth FFS.

  35. Things are actually pretty black and white here. Russia has for two weeks been carrying out an all-out aggression against a neighbouring sovereign nation. It should stop immediately and withdraw its troops back over the internationally recognized borders. Period. No ifs and buts and what abouts. Nothing justified this act, no NATO, no Nazis, no biolabs, no coup / Eurmaidan protests (pick your version) even if Ukraine attacked Donbas, this wouldn't be a justification for the Russian military intervention, because Ukraine has a legal right to do so. All of this is just noise which serves to justify aggression or at least create a situation where people would say, well, they are all bad, I am sorry for the poor people but what about this and that.

Where are they, what weapons do they make, how are these weapons stored, when were payments made, how much do they cost, and who made the payments? So far I’ve only seen Russian claims, and knowing what we do about how truthful Russia is, I’d like more information. There’s no way somebody as knowledgeable as you would have spewed out Russian claims practically verbatim, so if you could supply those details that’d be great. Thanks.

  44. I have a much better question. There are 650 MPs in Parliament and in addition members of the HoL were allowed to attend and watch the address from the balcony. However, a cursory search would have revealed that the government only supplied just over 500 pairs of earphones, no doubt distributed first to the main parties over independents. So, why did the Conservative government (that you so love) not supply enough headsets for everyone? One to address to your wife who is a member of the Conservative party.

  45. “now let's say we get a few of the players we have been linked with in - the likes of Tristan Nydam (0m), Charlie Ward (0m) and we go for Ben Alnwick (0m) and Martin Crainie (0m), we buy Jerome Sinclair or David Nugent on a free thats 0m spent, and probably looking at around 10k in wages (again a generous estimate) leaves the club with 190m debt and 500k in wage deficit still burning a hole in our lovely Iranians pocket, but no statement sale, just some very good ones that will make the balance sheet slightly competitive, say we then sort a 3m sale on Richy lad (current flavour of the month after his 5 goals this season and also an asset we depserately need selling) and we give him parity with ronald koeman on continuing to pay his wages - so another 14k and 3m gone we are then left with a 187m and 486k pw situation, to go out their and target a 'statement' sale for the club to propel us into league one, go begging to Tottenham, ask them to pay our asking price for DCL and see what they actually say when we admit wer're fucking desperate, and see what his agent says when we offer to let him go for free just to get the wages off the books.  Honestly it sounds mental even typing this out, but money talks in football, and if we are serious in hurtling into administration then we couldn't make a bigger attempt than this"
