How is that cheating? Spreading the cost of the fees over a longer period makes more financial sense. Unless FFP rules explicitly state you cannot do that, which, as far as I know, they dont. Its a riskier move for Chelsea if anything, because if a player turns out to be a dud, he is tied to a LOOOONG contract on massive wages, which means we will have a hell of a time trying to shift them. EDIT: Just looked it up and FIFA rules states contracts should be no more than 5 years, but it states that each nations governing body can opt out of that statute if they wish, its merely a guideline, and the English FA opted out.
We will get to the final and lose on penalties, it's just what we do. I'm mentally preparing myself. I think our first trophy will be the league in about 3-5 years, we need to win it by 5 points or so. Cup finals are too much of a lottery and i'll be ****ting myself.
1 game newcastle have not been attacking and it was Arsenal away ... I've noticed this narrative creeping in since, but if you look at our numbers it tells a different story. I'd be happy for teams to attack us because the sides that haven't we ended ended up drawing with. Memories won't matter it's who's the best right now or at that moment.
While I'm glad we are doing well, the spam in here about Newcastle is so intense even I don't want to be here. Like, pipe down the obnoxious **** for a day or two thanks
It's just comical banter on a message board man, thankfully the mods on here can see that, it's harmless stuff.
I think we need something to bring up to yours to have any chance. Can't see a situation where we lose the first leg and comeback up there. If we can get a lead though I'd fancy our chances of frustrating you up there and maybe nicking a goal on the break or from a Ward Prowse free kick. I just hope you don't win the first one comfortably as the 650 mile round trip midweek will suddenly look less appealing!
It is rather dull isn't it? Don't mind it so much from Chaos as he's been around for ages but the influx of posters who never posted here until this season is beyond tiresome.
All that's happened this morning is me chief and and few other have debated football tbf. Nobody had been disrespectful or unpleasant as far I have seen. The knives are out and it's Saturday morning though..
Indeed, wanted to make sure we werent facing any Juventus type punishments. More for myself. These ****ing american owners are as bent as a 9 bob note.
I still do but I like to give it so I take it the way I should. Toonarmy is just a fish out his pond and forgetting it shouldn't be all about the toon on here.
Not great. Playing every game possible last year has broken some of our old legs. And perhaps even some spirts.
