The Premier League would do the same as the Dutch if they could, just reboot the whole fucking lot, which would see the Vermin miss out on their league title They wont though, as the clubs owe just one broadcaster, Sky, £960 million if they do

Lockdown thoughts...….Without John Neal who begat Spackman, Nevin, Micky Thomas and the indomitable Joey Jones -saving us from the third tier of English football there would be no Abramovich or any of the rest.....

Norman Hunter and Frannie Lee having a disagreement

He's going nowhere

Barcodes could become the next Man City with a Saudi led consortium as owners, and doubtless a big spending spree coming.....

Bristol City v Chelsea 1990 Complete riot. Fans went mental. I have an enduring image of one of our lot covered in blood ,so angry biting the locked gates separating fans at the end . EastEnders star Chelsea fan also got beaten up by City fans.

Loved him. One of those geniuses with a sixth sense knowing where the ball would appear in the box ala Lineker, Lampard, Van Nistleroy….

England v Germany we were 2-0 up at half time when he was in goal. England lost 2-3 and he got soooo much flak. I remember the next day kids at school who knew I was Chels were coming up to me flapping their arms. Cunts

Back to Bonetti - he always came out to risk life and limb, and nearly without exception managed to catch the ball (certain employees take note) In Chelseas history he is in the top 10, no doubt.

He was (is) one of the wittiest pundits ever as well back in the day. Saint n Greavsie show.

Same OFAG, actually met him when I was about 8 and his understudy Tommy Hughes. BTW your namesake is also very poorly ATM, but has rallied a bit yesterday.

Stay Home, protect the NHS, with Talk Chelsea Has a nice ring to it

'They'll almost win it '' Presumably he means they would almost certainly win it. Fuck me you can see why hes UEFA President -such valuable insight and wisdom. Is he also President of the Bleeding Obvious Society ?

Think they plan to isolate players from the public, then play behind closed doors. Seems the biggest logistical headache they face is stopping fans travelling to those cities where they are playing.

Clubs have been told to prepare for a mid-June comeback, which will see players increase their training load from May. (Reuters)

Worse than that, like I said so many clubs will go to the wall. Don't think anyone wants that scenario

Sounds like a plan - its probably difficult to get all the TV companies contracts rewritten, lawyers, other sporting events clashing with TV schedules on side etc but it could be done.

He's making more noises (if you believe the press) about moving on now. Don't blame him. We'd all want a 3 year deal in what is a short career I've never knocked him and it only seems to be on the internet he gets slagged. Obviously we will be fucked off if he goes to Sp*rs, but then more fool them if they pay him up until he's 35. The other thing is, there are players out there with his ability that score more.

haha sorry just read my initial post and agree it is hard to gather what I am on about. Still a bit hung over. I think the PL will see sense, (and because of the TV revenue which pays their executives exorbitant dividends) and they will finish it behind closed doors.

Agree Tomo - it has to be done and dusted - that TV revenue and players 30% wage pool needs to filter down, and quickly -otherwise a conservative estimate suggests 40-50 clubs going bankrupt in the lower divisions.

They just have to finish the season now. The non leagues are done and some European leagues are following. The PL will have to pay back 750 million on TV rights if not, so thats the incentive to finish the season in some format. Give the mickey mousers the title and it will forever have an asterix next to it.. Then we will sing "You never won the league.. You never wont the League. Etc etc

Yup been known for a long time yet the FA fail to act. Gooners particularly dislike him...

If there were 20 non-playing staff, earning average 30k a year. So approx 150k wages for 3 months. 120k will then have to be paid by the Government. That'sless than 1 week's pay for the average Sp*ds player. Shitcunt club.

The Premier League intend to resume matches for this season behind close doors at the start of May. The plan needs to be endorsed by the Government, public health bodies and the PFA, and there is a conference call on Friday The season will then end on July 12th. If it doesn't get the go ahead, the Premier League will have to pay back TV companies £762 million (Reuters)
