Heathrow to most American east coast cities you looking at 6 to 8 hours travel time.same with places like Chicago.i sat next to cricket world cup winner with England,Liam Plunkett,during a Heathrow to Philly flight.I was going to my annual couple of NFL games.he was visiting his American girlfriend.is not that far..plus London business capital of Britain,New York business capital of America..is going to be some ex-pats...etc.

And back in the 80's with Concorde..London to New York was quicker than old folks push out a turd..

Does BlueCo or Boehly own the NY Times 🤣?

Not sure if it’s a coincidence or not but they always post a lot of pro/positive/optimistic Chelsea articles when things are going shite. 

It's The Athletic, which the New York Times bought in 2022.

Home of Ornstein, etc.

And someone needs to remain positive here, as it is overwhelmingly negative on this board.

I do my fair share of whingeing, but I also try to have some hope.

Win, lose or draw BlueCo Out

Delap on his Yellow Cards

“I think I’ll always be the same. I was a nightmare when I was a kid. I still have my moments where I probably go over the edge, but if I took that away from me, I wouldn’t be the same player,” Delap said.

“Obviously, there are times where I can control it and be sensible and smart about it, but I would never ever lose that because I’ll lose my edge, lose my fire a little bit.”

Nobody wants him to lose his fire, but it’s a little concerning to hear him be so defiant about potentially changing his ways to become more sensible. Let’s focus on scoring goals first, then we can worry about the rest.

I think a manager like Mourinho or Conte would take a dim view towards something like this, especially if he's not backing it up with goals scored.

Now if Diego Costa or Didier Drogba said that, I’d 100% believe it but a massive, massive concern to hear some young kid who’s done nothing of note in the game speak in that regard, particularly about something that has been a big issue for the team the past 2-3 seasons here.

Wouldn’t be the same player? He should definitely try something different because he’s not exactly ripping it up. A very lucky boy to be playing for a club of this level so needs to drop that attitude & knuckle down as constantly getting avoidable yellow cards is going to just affect the team.

I mean outwith picking up bookings what does he actually offer the team?
