Internally, Chelsea realised they were facing a challenging run of fixtures with away trips to Leeds, Bournemouth and Atalanta, and it will hardly get easier with the visit of Everton, who have won more duels than anyone else in the Premier League this season. (@kierangill_DM) 😵🫤

The irony being the country is presided ove by a felon, rapist, insurrectionist....Epsteins 'best friend' Fuck them - my next big road trip will be Canada

You've bought your tickets, how about the flights? Any fan wanting to follow their team from the first game to the final - if they get there - will spend a minimum of £5,200 on tickets. There there's travel. For an England fan planning to attend the group stage, current prices show flights from London to Dallas to Boston to New York/New Jersey and then home are £1,300. Add on £526 if you get the cheapest match tickets. It gets a lot more expensive if you want to go for the whole tournament. If they were winners of Group L, England would have to go from Atalanta to Mexico City and then to Miami. Those two flights alone would cost £800. Flights across the tournament could cost £2,600. Add on the cheapest match tickets, and it is £7,800. What about Scotland fans travelling from Glasgow? Flights across the group stage would cost £1,675 each, with the lowest ticket price bracket £500 on top. If Scotland were to win Group C, flights through to the final would be £2,357. With tickets that is £7,567. These prices are as of today. Many supporters would not want to book flights for the knockout rounds before they know they need to travel. By then, it could be a lot more expensive.

'Anger and disappointment' as fans priced out of World Cup Image source,Getty Images The price of following a team all the way through the tournament has increased significantly since the last World Cup in Qatar By Dale Johnson Football issues correspondent Supporters are continuing to speak of their frustration at the astronomical cost of following the 2026 World Cup. The Football Supporters' Association has called ticket prices a "laughable insult" to fans. For some smaller nations, the cost of group-stage tickets is going to be higher than a month's wages in that country. And that is before factoring in travel and accommodation. One Ghana fan told the BBC of "anger and disappointment" that Black Stars supporters might now be forced to cancel their plans. Fifa's ticket price policy was revealed on Thursday, with group-stage tickets up to three times the prices of those for Qatar in 2022. The cheapest ticket for the final will cost £3,119. BBC Sport has contacted Fifa for comment. Ticket prices outstrip wages for many countries Image source,Getty Images Many Ghana fans are rethinking their plans to support their team at the World Cup

I think Palmer being back will help us the CL. PL I don't think we have a chance, but we know with this team we can do damage in cup competitions, so going to be interesting to see how Palmer and Estevao develop for the coming months.

Since I live in Buffalo the closest stadium for me is Toronto, I put for the match of Ghana vs Panama as it's cheaper and the knockout stage that would be second place from K vs second place from L. I'm not driving far to watch the match and insane prices so I will just stay close to home. If I can attend an openining match for a team even though they are so so and a knockout stage we will be happy. Probably a chance I get to see Colombia play if they finish runner up in the group and if we get the two options that I put for those two games.

It's not just all social media account information for the past 5 to 10 years you will have to turn over to the US Feds to be allowed into the country. It now looks like visitors to the US from Europe and other countries that are part of the visa waiver program will have to submit an enormous amount of data about themselves and their families, including DNA, when Trump's proposed new rules are put into place.

Lol FIFA and Trump 2 peas in a pod England tickets to cost ten times price promised in World Cup bid Fifa announced that cheapest tickets available for group games will be $220, but initial bid from US, Canada and Mexico included seats for $21 https://www.thetimes.com/sport/football/article/england-ticket-prices-world-cup-fifa-us-wbhhl02hj The FA will contact Fifa to pass on fans’ concerns after it emerged that the cheapest tickets for England supporters next year’s World Cup are more than ten times the price promised in the original bid for the United States, Canada and Mexico to host the tournament. Fifa has announced that the cheapest tickets available to members of the official England fans’ club for group matches are $220 (£165) — the bid document’s ticket model stated the cheapest seats should be $21 (about £15.70). Even more astonishingly, the bid document on Fifa’s website puts the lowest price for the final at £95 but the cheapest ticket being offered to England fans for the final is £3,129, more than 30 times higher. Some insiders think that there is a strong chance England may not even sell out their 8 per cent allocation per match for some games.

Yep. 😞

Would prefer Wharton, but the price for either is too high unless we sell major core List A players, as we are in real danger of failing the UEFA FFP punishment rules we are under.

I had a dream we had submitted a bid for Elliot Anderson. 😇

🔵Chelsea are emerging as the frontrunners in the race for AZ Alkmaar’s highly-rated midfielder Kees Smit, who is also on Newcastle’s radar. He's rated at £25m. (@MsiDouglas)

There's tomorrow's jinx

What a mess. This is basically human trafficking at Sports level. It’s only a matter of time before Palmer, Caicedo, Cucu and others want out. They have undone all Romans hard work. It disgusts me.

We have some horrible fixtures coming up, hopefully Maresca stops tinkering so much. Everton/Newcastle/Villa/Bournemouth with City in early Jan...

Per Matt Law, NONE of the following sales would, if we sell any of them, help us to balance the UEFA books so we can play in Europe next season: Sterling Disasi Nico Jackson Aarón Anselmino Kendry Páez David Datro Fofana Deivid Washington Caleb Wiley Omari Kellyman Leo Castledine Ted Curd Teddy Sharman-Lowe Mudryk the Drugryk And none of the CL List B count either: Josh Acheampong Tyrique George Romeo Lavia The only sales that count are players on the CL List A. So any incoming buys, if we are not transfer banned, will mean we have to sell core players (Tosin needs to go go go, but we are going to get fuckall for him, and we cannot sell Badi if we are transfered banned, as he is literally, with Colwill out, our only left-footed CB). IF Penders comes this summer, the we can sell Filip Jörgensen. Guiu also needs to go. That's about it IF we are transfered banned, and even if NOT, we will will be damn lucky to get a total of £40-50m or so max for Tosin, Jörgo, and Guiu. Good luck shopping on that total budget. It is insane that UEFA limits the sales that count to only the CL List A. We still have to pay all the players listed who are not on it, unless a club loaning them pays them, AND we ourselves DID ALSO pay transfer fees for most of them. It seems borderline illegal to not count any and all sales towards UEFA book balancing.

Said it time and time again, go with your strongest 11 or near as damn it, then either make pro active changes based on the score at the time. It's nigh on impossible to second guess his line ups game after game

Youth madness part #4672 Now we are looking to buy a 15yo DMF Jadiel Pereira da Gama from PEC Zwolle youngest Eredivisie player ever

I was ok and happy Maresca seemed to be coming right but he only flatters to deceive and it quite seemingly appears thats not going to change which is unacceptable for Chelsea as a club and a team and the huge fan base world wide. Therefore as much as I wanted Maresca to succeed being half Italian myself it's time to go or the alternative is a mid table finish or even lower as the points separating all the clubs is very minute, I mean even United for one team who are having a bad season according to their fans have the same points as us and will probably finish ahead of us. NOW is the time to sort this mess out or face a very disappointing season.

They prefer slave trade players despite their good salaries

This club getting a transfer ban wouldn’t be the worst thing. Save us signing utter dross for a period.

He actually looked a bit happier then - enjoyment of your football is vastly overlooked these days

He is undoubtedly a problem. SDs poor decision making shouldn’t mask that Maresca is a bang average manager.
