Angelo is so calm in tight places

Damn, cm away from serious highlight Hall to Nico

This heat is really intense, no breeze. The real feel is over 100.

Gilchrist saves Cucus blunder

Another preseason game coming. Madueke just returned to training. No reason to flog Mudryk, Poch knows what he brings.

You go Hall!!!

We need another starting XI graphic for the second half😂

Nkunku!!!

Enzo had two shots at it.

Burstow seems a step slow

Silva 1-0

Fed Ex field was supposed to be torn down three years ago. Letting it get in such disrepair is one of the many reasons the NFL removed Sneider as an owner. I was shocked they scheduled a game there.

That was perfect for Burstow

COYB!!! KTBFFH!

I expect almost a different team at HT.

Slonina with the first team is interesting.

Our fans said to walk away, so no moaning allowed.

Regarding the FFP calculation. The exemption from FFP is both under 21 and how many first team starts they have made for a top level team. The frustrating point for us casual fans is that we don’t know how many starts that is and the team tier system UEFA is using as they do not publish their FFP rules online.

Youth players are defined under FFP rules by the age, not if they are academy or first team players. The money spent on players defined as youth players does not count toward FFP. When they are sold for profit, it counts positively toward a club’s FFP calculation. The owners have said there is a separate budget for youth players. Buying all these 2004 born players is like printing free FFP credit for the future with no FFP counting against us. As soon as this is seen as Chelsea exploiting a loop hole, it will be screamed about in the press and they will start counting it when buying the kids.
