There are more Chelsea players at the stadium than there are fans.

Also WTF is this about introducing the players individually?

There are more Chelsea players than Chelsea fans anywhere...

They have 15 subs on the bench.

Heard a rumour today that a North West club is (edit - was ) paying £5m a year for private chefs for their players as they don't want to eat at the training ground - It aint us BTW

Should have coughed up a fatter envelope

[SB]

Is this even allowed in England?

Real Betis want to enter into a joint-ownership agreement with Manchester United for Brazil winger Antony, 25, that would see the Spanish club buy increasing percentages of his playing rights from next summer. (ABC - in Spanish)

[ChesterDave]

I don't think so but then neither is losing as much money as United did but they got away with it.

Wasn't that part of the issue with the Mascherano and Tevez contracts at West Ham, and why it took us so long to get the Mascherano transfer through

It was. It's not permitted in the PL, PL clubs must own 100% of the players registration or 0%. It seems somewhat unnecessary too, just agree to pay in installments.

England U19’s were down 5-1 after 48 minutes against Germany & equalised in the 63rd minute & it finished 5-5. We scored in the 52nd, 55th , 60th & 63rd minutes. What a match that would have been to watch.

Dortmund look a weak side nowadays. Jobe Bellingham off the bench for the last 1/2 hour. What a Micky Mouse competition that is

It really is, there's no appetite for it at all outside of the sponsors and teams involved. It just wasn't needed

Like a wank preseason comp but at the end of the season. Players really are getting over played, especially in the big clubs who go deep in several competitions.
