Pathetic decision at the time (proper used to those aren't we?) but Lampard's "They've cost us a point" is a bit presumptuous, they'd have had to have scored the penalty first!

Rooney having a moan at the officials. I can’t see much in either decision shown in the video. The second a dive if anything.

The second is definitely a dive and as you say there’s not loads in the first. Think he’s just trying to be a bit Fergie there

Interesting way of protesting....

thomas tuchel not liking being asked questions on russia/ukraine only a few days after dedicating the world club championship win to ambramovich kinda seems like a double standard to me.
you can't sing his praises one week, then tell the media it is not appropriate for you to comment.

Abramovich confirms he's selling Chelsea..

 

[Lupo]

Abramovic not asking the club to repay loans he is owed (about £1.5b) and has instructed his people to set up a charitable foundation to benefit the victims of the war in Ukraine

Interesting that Roman has called it a war, does that imply he's not aligned with Putin?

I guess Roman is selling because he's worried about his assets being frozen or something?

He tried to put it into the hands of the Chelsea foundation to bring it out again when things have cleared over, but they refused to take it. Personally I don't think for a second it would have been taken off him, our government don't have the balls

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Interesting if he has written of the £1.5bn debt. It was basically unsaleable without that

I do wonder why he's selling

 

[Keef]

Apparently his houses are up for sale as well, think he’s just getting money out ( or trying to) while he can

The Russian Football Union are appealing their ban to Cas:

Ukraine crisis: Russia to appeal against football ban imposed by Fifa and Uefa

The Russian Football Union says it will go to the Court of Arbitration for Sport to appeal against its ban from international competitions.

Good luck. Even if CAS re-install them no other team will play them.

Today is the day. My first live professional match, Charlotte's first home match, etc.

I'm a smidge giddy. Although my Moutinho shirt unfortunately did not arrive in time for today.
