90'+6', Harry Kane... C*nt!! Hahahaahhaaa the state of Chelsea forum after Kane scored.   

Have you not seen this place after a similar Anthony Taylor masterclass in one of our games?

[El Lobo]

I mean it was funny but you would be going apeshit if that happened to us (not you tubby). Its violent conduct surely, so it being reviewed, for some bizarre reason not getting sent off, and then conceding from the subsequent corner was absolutely appalling officiating.

Mike Dean on VAR again

Fuck me sideways, front and centre for dodgy decisions this weekend and we were apparently rid of him!

Of course, I agree it was appalling officiating on ridiculous level. As Tuchel said, "the goal shouldn't stand".

ANTHONY f**kING TAYLOR

Blue Exile:
Pulled to the ground by your hair. No foul. Bent as f**k this league.

just:
Every single time with Antony Taylor when he refs a big game with us, controversy and poor decisions which always go against us. 

WhiteWall:
Before this I would have definitely taken a draw but yet again that cheating Manc c**t has done it to us again. How the fck is pulling someone to the ground by the hair not a free kick.

Wasnt the ball out of play? So even if it was a red card, they wouldn’t have had a free kick.

That's right.  It would have been one less man to mark at the following corner though (I'm not sure that it would have made much difference as half the Chelsea team seemed to be magnetised towards the corner flag).

[El Lobo]

It was as the ball was coming in, no? Either way, things obviously wouldn't have then played out the same.

[Scottymuser]

I see as well as the rumours of upping their (already insanely high) bid of £40m for Gordon to £45, the bookies now have Chelsea as 3/1 favourites (if he were to leave United) to sign Ronaldo.  What have they been smoking?!?!?!?

It's so strange. They're spending increasingly mad amounts of money with no discernible plan at all. If I was Everton the only reason I wouldn't sell them gordon for £45m is they'll probably bid £50m by the weekend.

I mean it’s funny because it’s Chelsea but posts like that crop up on here all the time

Half of the first couple of the palace pre game thread were talking about the referee.

Chelsea fans have always hated Taylor.

Chelsea fans have always hated Taylor.

I saw a video on Twitter and when you see some of his decisions in their games… yikes. Even allowing for a fans bias it is mental how bad these are. Every single one bordering on a scandal.

What is FFP when this lot are spending like they've won the lottery...again.

What happened to the £1bn debt the club had? Surely that can't just be wiped out?

[Samie]

That has to be paid back by Chelsea eventually. These new lads say they are not running the club like the Russian mobster did.

He's just a shit ref.  Reckon you could probably make a compilation for any club in the league and it'd look like he hates them.  Even Utd.

They borrowed £800m a few weeks ago.  Speculate to accumulate and all that.

As I understand FFP it's averaged across three seasons.  Chelsea had a break even spend last summer but a massive £170m net spent the summer before.  This summer they're at about a £150m net spend and still not done by the looks of it.  That's going to average at over £100m/season on transfer losses but maybe their underlying finances are healthy enough that they can do that and still be within FFP.  Or maybe they see FFP as the joke it is and couldn't care less.

They have youngsters that they can flog for decent fees like Gallagher.

True.  They only managed to get £18m for German international Werner though.  I think buying clubs will look at the bloat of their squad and know they need to sell so it weakens Chelsea's bargaining position.

So far Boehly has made signing players look very hard or, at least, very expensive.  I think he's shortly going to find it doesn't work the same way when you try to instigate a sale.

There's a Swiss Ramble thread about this from earlier this week.

According to that, somehow Chelsea are going to be easily with-in the Premier League FFP rules even with the enormous spending.

Apparently, Werner's wages is off their books because he took a pay cut to force his return to Leipzig. That's a good deal. With respect to their transfers so far, they have spent a lot but they haven't significantly improved.

[markmywords]

So Sheik Todd Boehlyavich is shaping up to be a long term threat , it's 1 thing to stay within FFP like Chelsea look like doing, it's another for him and his group to have the available cash to pump 200m into Chelsea, weeks after purchasing them for over 2b, with no leveraged debt put on the accounts from the purchase.  Klopp is gonna have stay for years and continue his habit of miracle conjuring inline with Todd's transfers

[Dave McCoy]

Moving on Pulisic for Gordon is kind of insane. They can spend all the money they want if those are those choices they'll make. It won't matter.

[Drinks Sangria]

It won't matter, because Pulisic has never really been that productive and Gordon is shit. They'd be selling one inconsistent player who can't stay fit and has never made 30 league apps (for Chelsea and only once in his entire career) for a rubbish youth prospect.

That thread is a great example of why FFP is a bit pointless.  It stops a club spending £1bn in a single window - the 2022 equivalent of Mourinho's first transfer window at Chelsea and then some - but beyond that it barely puts the breaks on.

How the accounts go from £94m losses - just inside the £105m allowed - to £125m 'profit' via various accountancy wheezes is beautifully insane.  If an owner wants to pour money into a football club then they will be able to even without the dodgy extremes that Man City have gone to.

Chelsea investigating allegations Tottenham's Son Heung-min was racially abused at Stamford Bridge

Chelsea insist they will take the "strongest action" as they investigate reports Tottenham forward Son Heung-min was racially abused at Stamford Bridge.

The incident is alleged to have happened when Son went to take a corner in the second half during Sunday's 2-2 draw in the Premier League.

The club have previously banned fans for life following racist incidents.

In a statement, Chelsea said discriminatory behaviour was "totally abhorrent".

It added: "Chelsea FC has consistently made its zero tolerance position on discriminatory behaviour very clear, yet there are still idiots like this that attach themselves to this club as so called 'fans', which shames Chelsea FC, our coaches, players, staff and our true supporters.

"We are investigating this incident and, if identified, this individual will face the strongest action from the club.

"It has no place at Chelsea or in any of our communities."

Chelsea's long-running 'No To Hate' campaign launched its latest initiative on Sunday, which gives instructions on the back of every seat on how supporters can report alleged abuses by either by text or by barcode on a smartphone.

They believe that identifying a specific seat from which incidents either happen or are reported will help increase the chances of individuals being caught.

Mail are saying that they have enquired after Maguire..



Omfg…. Where to start with that??

[God's Left Peg]

Wow... like a real life Brewster's millions

[rossipersempre]

They’ve lost the plot haven’t they. Boehly acting like a pre-teen who’s just got his first PlayStation and copy of FIFA.

[Pistolero]

Enjoyed Tuchel's skewering of Mike Deane...if he carries on in this vein, I might even start warming to him...

Funny how refs like Taylor only have these "masterclasses" against certain teams though.
One could even almost mistake it for match fixing...

They will pay 500M for Fofana now

His negative tactics seem to have a bad effect on their forwards. His tactics are suited to knockout football.

Their supporters probably hope it's Tobey Maguire...

Can’t say I was unhappy watching Leeds whack them today.

[[new username under construction]]

Squad worth hundreds of millions, stockpiled players in the reserves and loans for a decade and still need more players as that's the answer to why we're a bit shit
