Everton v Chelsea, Saturday: The Premier League Punishment Derby.
In the home corner: 8 points deducted, law suits faced, prize money lost, the primary cause of it all: building an incredible new stadium, which hosts the game.
In the away corner: Corrupt payments to agents for players who led the team to sporting accomplishments. All punished with a slap and tickle. Hotels sold to themselves to comply with PSR.
Chelsea Football Club:
They Respect The Ball, But Not The Rules.
@leeds2023456 I was there on the balcony, it was incredible on the back of our win. It was in Ten street Social. Hope Leeds stay up, playing well, 4 points from 6. Good luck
Yes, VAR is here to stay but if Jake O’Brien’s header is scored in the days before Stockley Park and ear pieces, nobody complains and it is seen as a perfectly good goal.
Your weekly reminder: football has not been changed for the better.
#LEEEVE - 84”
It gives us great pleasure to award the first penalty of the season fairly against Everton, after Tarkowski made the fatal mistake of not removing his arm from his body pre match.
There's a much easier way UEFA could sort this Palace farce they've created. Just put them in a qualifier and draw them against the strongest team. And if its still tight after one leg, fuck the ref off and bring another one out of retirement for one night only. Its worked before
The Premier League PSR rules are about as fit for purpose as a chocolate teapot. Chelsea FC Holdings made a profit of £128m in 23/24 after selling the women’s team to itself. The parent company BlueCo 22 (which owns the men’s team, the women’s team and…Strasbourg) made a loss of £430m in the same period as cannot include intra group transactions in the group accounts. Richard Masters keeps a straight face and says Chelsea have not broken any rules…because the rules on these types of deals are full of loopholes.
If I was Everton or Forest would be livid.
