A point that we should have been thrown out of the competition because of Roman? If so I don't agree, to put it mildly.

No the point of us asking the game to be played behind closed doors being ridiculous. Which it was.

No one has problem with them taking issue with the request, did you stop reading the club and their chairman statement after that?

You are probably right about this though I confess I have not seen it the same way as you. Perhaps it's my overwhelming anger at the situation preventing me thinking clearly.

The 'special license' talks about maintaining the integrity of the competitions. It then goes on to impose the stupid ban on ticket sales which is completely contrary to that and other aims it sets out. The club's best response to this hypocrisy would probably have been just to point it out and leave it at that. In my state of fury however I did not blame them calling for The FA to protect the game's integrity when the government attacked it. One year I'm going to get over this and calm down but it won't be this year.

I'm with you on this one and in answer to your previous comment, I didn't actually read the full statement made by the Borough chairman. I couldn't bring myself to do as such. I have little tolerance for the bias hypocrisy that is spouted from the mouths of opposing critiques that cant wait to stick a knife into the back of Chelsea.

Fucking great yesterday, 700 Chelsea fans loud and proud v the world.

Very fortunate I was given the chance to be there. Had a great night Friday night at the hotel as a guest of Pulisic and great gesture from him to give my lad his match worn jersey and then to receive a message Saturday morning to say he had left us 3 tickets.

Quality.
