If you fancy a laugh about Chelsea

Funny to imagine players like riduger, mount and jorgingo getting a lift in a Boro minibus, with pigbag playing on loop all the way here.

Thumbing a lift on the north circular....all arrive in dribs and drabs, so kick off with six....full compliment by 60 minutues

They must be really struggling to afford to get to Lille on Wednesday then

A lot easier and cheaper to get to Lille from there on the train

Two mini buses surely would be less than £20k and over night stay at a Premier Inn.

They could probably charter a plane for that.

I'm sure our away fans on here will have a load of good prices on buses etc, but from what I remember, M&D travel is like £250 for a bus/ coach to the races, Chelsea's not even 5x that distance. Even if they had to do two trips (and not wait), it should only cost at most, 2.5k. Even if it was two trips and 30 rooms of £100 on top, that's only another 3, so 5.5k total.

Plus, they all have about 10 cars each, and even if they took 10 cars, it's probably only £100 in fuel, even in their gas guzzlers.

One of their players on the bench would probably fork that out in spare change, to get a game.

Maybe we could show what a caring club we are, and transfer the game to the bridge.

FIFA should suspend the contracts of Chelsea players and coaches and allow them to temporarily leave the club outside of the usual transfer window. It’s unfair to force people to represent the club when companies do not have to do the same.

Most of them have about 250,000 reasons a week why they're not being "forced" to represent the club.

If they are worried about costs, The Golden Eagle in Thornaby has plenty of free rooms, and I remember Man Utd staying there once so it must be of a good standard.

an that's fine if they want to stay.. but they should be given the option imo

 

[newyddion]

Would this level the playing field..

Timo Werner on £272k a week??? I find that more shocking than the request to play the match behind closed doors to be honest.
