Chelsea

I imagine it might be like slipping on wet floor and landing on a cactus. A big thick one.

Chelsea will spend the next two weeks deciding whether to bring in a striker in January to replace Diego Costa, 27. (Guardian)

Defender Gary Cahill's future at Stamford Bridge is in doubt, with Chelsea only willing to give him a one-year contract extension after his 30th birthday next month. (Times - subscription required)

**** I totally forgot an absolute gem of some information I received last weekend whilst in London ... the reason Chelsea are in such a ****ing state is because that Doctor who was sacked recently has had affairs with 5 first team players ... this was told to me by an extremely senior london based medic and is well known in some circles

[redmike65]

I'd love to believe that just for the trashy amusement but I can't.

Told to me by someone I trust ... is it true I could not tell you ... but hey if there is something to this ... perhaps some of our Jorno friends on here need to look into this story

she got married a 3 weeks ago. I would think these gems of information to be somewhat far from the mark.
She was clearly thought highly of amongst the playing staff but because she is a woman in the football industry she was ****ing 5 players....

This is what I was told ... my response at the time was get the **** out of here .. he looked me straight in the eye and said its true .. I said the very same thing .. shes just got married to a arctic explorer ..... he said thats what he was told be several people within the London Medical establishment .. he was a Chelsea fan so there is that ..

But that line about ..because she is a woman in the football industry she was ****ing 5 players.... ffs .. calm down would you ... lets not make this into some Feminist PC Hipster whinge feast ...

I wasn't having a go at you for providing this info. I have heard it a few times and read it on here also. I don't want this thread to descend into the depths of the Sturridge thread and I have no interest in a feminist PC hipster whinge feast.
The sport is mainly dominated by men. Woman that enter this sordid male dominated sport because they are good at what they do get dogs abuse. Every time she stepped foot on the field she was jeered at. As soon as something goes wrong with her career shes shagging 5 players. I was making a connection albeit badly but could it not just be that she was thought of highly by a number of the team without jumping into bed with them?

As a general point I blame this kind of stuff on the great financial collapse and the fact that apart from a few odd exceptions it doesn't seem to be anyone's fault. No-one seems to be in jail for taking all our dough (and I mean all of it -not just some of it) and gambling it away in a great obscene free-for-all. After all, we can jail people for benefit fraud and (eventually) for not paying their tv licence, but we can't finger anyone for el gordo.

We really need a load of people to take the fall for it soon because now that we've done a switcheroo calling immigrants refugees it won't be long before we're right down to the gypsies and the jews.

Financial regulators are now setting up a regime where individuals can and will go to jail. Some will do so for reasons seemingly unfair (like renegade traders etc. - but still technically under their control) but the point I'm making is that before the view was the it was enough to punish the firms. But very large firms swallow fines with very little problem, so on the whole I welcome the change. It is sadly too late for this crisis, but I'm sure the next mis-selling scandal is just around the corner. By the same token we shouldn't be too forgiving of people who whole-heartedly take part in speculative flipping of properties, lying on loan applications, or otherwise over-leveraging themselves in an attempt to get rich quick or blame the bankers trying.

To be fair Nicey if some-one wanted to ruin her reputation before an employment tribunal this would be a good way of doing it as it is enormously hard to prove/disprove. (and as a tactic it relies on people repeating it btw)

Perhaps the person you were speaking to simply passed on the rumour but it should be considered how it became known that it was 5 players concerned.

Did 5 players suddenly all put their hands up to confess to it? Unlikely. Did Chelsea suddenly find video footage of 5 players and her having separate affair? Unlikely. Was it obvious but cumulative? Do Chelsea have a policy of 5-affairs-with-players-and-you're-out? Is four ok? Is the fact that this person is a Chelsea fan but might have a professional opinion about the case which would ordinarily be useful in the context of the tribunal have a positive or negative bearing on her case?

This rumour seems exceptionally dubious to me - and indeed not relevant to her case. I don't care how many players she dallied with or indeed didn't. Did she take a Hippocratic oath? I genuinely don't know whether she would have to but they appear to have punished her for doing what she knew to be right - not for rumours of affairs and hopefully the tribunal will arrive at the right conclusion despite what appears to be attempts to ruin her reputation.

I hear you, I tend to agree but my extreme dislike of all things Chelsea got the better of me
