Now, if he was doping while at Man Utd he needs to get his supplier done for false advertising

With this, Everton, Forest, and Villa I don't know which side of this I'm falling on; Are the FFP/PSR rules finally holding reckless spending to account or, Are ambitious clubs having their growth limited?

 

Ambitious clubs are having their growth limited AND some clubs are sailing far too close to the wind.

 

Chelsea can get fucked though cos they've already admitted to breaking the rules on spending when Abramovich was in charge (of which more in the tweet below) and what they've done since Boehly arrived has been fucking ludicrous, and but for a very convenient bailing out by Saudi they'd be in an even worse spot.

 

 

Sounds like they did a lot more shady shit than they admitted to.

Can't wait to see Man City and Chelsea competing in the final of the FA Vase after each win the Conference North and South, respectively.

Pogba suspended for 4 years for doping. He's 30, so that's him finished.

Just been reading up on this as I knew he was facing a ban but hadn't been arsed enough to pay much attention. So they find testosterone metabolites in his system and provisionally suspend him - he then calls bullshit and demands a counter-test - which also returns a positive result

 

I think he's probably been done over by someone here, as he's had every opportunity to come clean and have a more lenient punishment but has fought it (despite knowing he was facing a four year ban) which I can only think he's done because he had no idea he was ingesting PEDs - I wonder if any other Juve players were tested, as let's be honest, it's not like they aren't the most corrupt and devious club to ever grace the game.

I think this is part of that investigation

Roman Abramovich bankrolled major Dutch club while Chelsea owner — The Bureau of Investigative Journalism (en-GB) (thebureauinvestigates.com)

It would be the FA Trophy at that level 👍🏻

 Ten Hag losing it over TikTok videos now, oblivious to the fact what a disgrace his club captain is. 

 

Which makes you wonder, does Tindall have an account on there?

A couple of deals with Saudi will sort Chelsea's woes out. 

 

Watch as we struggle to flog Almiron for 7M to an MLS side though.

 

[Kid Dynamite 7612]

Conor Gallagher is homegrown, so pure profit if they sell him. He's got to be worth £40-50mil (judging by how much we spent on Barnes).

 

Wouldn't be surprised if Cucurella, Broja, Fofana end up Saudi bound too, to balance the books. 
 

£300mil on Caicedo, Fernandez and Mudryk is fucking mental though  They'd have been better off sticking with Gallagher and Loftus-Cheek in the middle

Is this the first open dissent from a club owner?

Testosterone is my favourite PED. It's the desperate man's final gambit. See Floyd Landis. In yellow in TdF, dropped on stage 16, loses 10 minutes. Next day, stage 17, queen stage. He straps seventeen testosterone patches to himself like ASM applying bandages, and rides away from the entire field. He gains back the 10 minutes and an extra 3-4 minutes for good measure. He was glowing like Hale Bob. Promptly caught. Denies everything. Said his T-levels were elevated because he had a beer the night before. A single beer. His A-sample would've burnt a hole in the test tube.

Ten Hag trying to claim that that tackle made him a doubt for their match in the week.

Ballack on Virgin Van Dijk

 

Quote

Michael Ballack:

“Virgil Van Dijk is very lucky to play in an era where there is no Drogba, Lampard, Alan Shearer, Henry, Rooney, Van Persie, Tevez, Adebayor and Diego Costa in the Premier League. No wonder they think he is the best defender in the League."

So I think this might be a good season not to qualify for the CL 😆
