Oh well -thank fuck we still have the CPO -they cant touch that

It is easier for a Russian oligarch to enter the House of Lords than for a Ukrainian refugee to enter the Kingdom of Great Britain! From the first book of Johnson

If that's true he better check every cup of tea he has from now on

We need a World leader Hunger Games - I'd pay to watch that

Geopolitically will probably back fire on Putin - with Sweden and Finland feeling jittery they will seriously consider joining NATO

Thats what you get when Putins been in power for 22 years, thinks he's invincible.

Thats my thinking. Politically, westerm politicians will huff and puff, give it 4-6 months things will roughly be back to normal. Either that or we've all been nuked 🥴

'This is genius,'' Trump said. 'Putin declares a big portion of the Ukraine - of Ukraine - Putin declares it as independent. Oh, that's wonderful.' Andrew Bates; ''Trump and Putin 'two nauseating fearful pigs' and said they were 'rubbing their snouts together and celebrating as innocent people lose their lives'

Uefa will take the 2022 Champions League final away from St Petersburg following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The decision will be made at Friday's emergency meeting of European football's governing body.

Lots of tweets then

Think Superblue was asking who were the best free signings. But Jimmy was an amazing buy at 15m - partnership with Eidur was pure smash and grab. Could hardly ever head the ball though ! ⛹️‍♂️

Well they do have that video of Russian prossies pissing on him -allegedly

2-0 22.22 time Tuesday 2022 year Tuchel Touche ✌️

Pretty certain it wont be 'years' for a start hes nearly 29. Its nothing new either From Fernando Torres, to Radamel Falcao, to Alvaro Morata, Sheva even as far back as Sutton. Many strikers with big reputations -- and some with even bigger fees -- have come to Stamford Bridge and failed to live up to their billing. But we still rein in the silverware.... MOTD analysis: Why are Chelsea not playing to Romelu Lukaku's strengths? - BBC Sport

He has his self preservation to consider - he will have Marina, Abramovich and the wrath of Russia on him if he doesnt give the overpriced Belgian a decent shot. Lol not a 3-4 year cycle - probably another month. However, chances are Lukaku will get the odd goal or two in the next few games, with James pinpoint crossing back, so it will be longer.

Tuchel is damned if he does damned if he doesnt Whether it’s the system, the striker curse, Tuchel, Lukaku, the players, or a mixture of it all, the fact is that they ALL need to find a solution now because we are coming up to a hugely important part of the season.

''Chelsea chief Marina Granovskaia 'clashed with Mino Raiola, uses late-night WhatsApp chats to get deals done and left agents stunned with her uncompromising manner', say insiders in a L'Equipe profile on the Blues' 'enigma' Granovskaia is the chief negotiator for new players and contract renewals and, while she has been praised for her role in convincing veteran defender Thiago Silva to join, it was her display at the negotiating table for the sale of Eden Hazard that captured attention. Hazard had a year left on his Chelsea contract in 2019 when Real Madrid aggressively pursued a deal for the Belgian attacker. Negotiations were described as 'long' but Granovskaia 'had a clear amount' she wanted as a transfer fee and was unwilling to cave to pressure from Real Madrid. It is said she was willing to keep Hazard for another year and lose him for nothing than sell on the cheap. In the end she pulled off a reported deal of £134million in three instalments. Granovskaia, who was in Abu Dhabi to see Chelsea win the Club World Cup, has been described as 'a savvy and fine leader' who is 'available and uncompromising' in her work, which has led to Chelsea becoming reigning European champions. Forbes ranked her fifth overall back in 2018 in their 'Most Powerful Women in International Sports' list. In addition, Granovskaia's work was recognised on a global scale when she received the Best Club Director in European football award back in December. '' Has to be the most powerful woman in football which is normally dominated by alpha males. Very impressive. Kudos to her for standing up to Riaola. He is a money minded parasite.

Reece James is expected to make his long awaited return to action for Chelsea this week following a seven week injury lay off. The England full-back has been out of action since the end of December 👊

Yes, quite depressing

Great to see the faces of Man U players and fans after that equalizer 😄

Unfortunately I can not see the club just selling him yet

True but I'd tend to go with three top strikers judgement over some others. I think they are spot on with their assessment of his poor movement as well.

Yorks v Lancs this afternoon should be lively, their meetings have always been violent on and off the pitch. War of the Roses. Dont know which team I despise the most, but would be funny to see Leeds beat the Glazer Franchise

Shearer, Wrighty and Lineker the ultimate scorers seemed quite emphatic in their assessment, and to know what they were talking about in terms of his poor service. They were also quite critical of his movement, and that both these facets had not been addressed in training. They were adamant his lack of movement and lack of first time balls in were not being sorted in training. These two facets need to be immediately addressed if anything near his fee is to be attained.
