After calming down from running around like a crazy dick for the last 2 minutes last night, I am now back in the real world and accepting that, yes, we are still really crap and that only papers over some of the cracks. Still stealing 3 points from Utd is so sweet it will do for now !
Yip.... still a bit crap. But gawd united are about as bad..... at least its entertaining crap. SWoll said:

He'll stay when Chelsea offer him a 24 year contract 
Already on a 7 year apparently..His contract at the end of the season will be worth about £35m, so if they can sell him for £75-85m that's a very nice profit in 12 months that'll help towards those FFP targets?

The real issue is the need to raise £150m+ by June the 30th. Given that the transfer window opens on the 14th June and runs to the 2nd of September, the Euros also start on the 14th June and everyone knows you are desperate for money, the chances of getting deals done and not being hugely lowballed on prices, seems unlikely.
However, the bigger issue to my mind, is that any punishment is currently unknown. If for example you knew that it would be a 20 points deduction this season, you might think fkc it, as long as we avoid relegation it's all fine. Keep the players and take the punishment this season. However, if it's 20 points next season, that's Europe out the window. Or it could be a 30 point fine. Or it could be expulsion from the league.
The players that will actually return a decent profit are Colwill (injured), James (injured), Chalobah, Gallagher, Broja and maybe Palmer (you are starting at -£35m with him though). So it seems a stretch to sell all those by June 30th for £150m+ (£200m+ if you include Palmer).
Interesting times ahead.

Anyway, last night. Crazy game. I recall a home match v Spurs in the 90s, we went 0-2 down early on, but were leading 3-2 by HT. Then the made it 3-3. Then they got a 90th min pen and missed, and we then got an injury time per and Mark Stein scored. Reminded me on that.
Great result but a horrible performance. If it weren't for Palmer, we'd be in a proper relegation dogfight now. And we've had some really soft pens go our way. Not convinced that was a foul on Nono, VAR never overturned it but if the ref hadn't given it they wouldn't have overturned that either. Would have lost 2-3 and things would be very different this morning.
The number of goals we're conceding is relegation numbers. Didn't we go a whole season once conceding only 15 goals!! That's 5 games these days. And the keeper is doing fine, it's the defence.

I switched off TalkSPORT after Garnacho scored. The commentary was so Man U biased, it was ridiculous.
Is it possible that we could sneak a last minute European place?

You'll have clubs approaching Chelsea about buying a player, and Chelsea will say "Okay, £20m, he's yours"Interesting times ahead.
"No problem, leave it with us"
And then on June 29th you turn around and offer them £3m :hammer:

A lot of stuff on social media following Enzo's set to at the end of the game with Mount. Enzo was apparently taunting him, saying "we are Chelsea, coward, coward". Many of our fans think this is a good thing, and shows Enzo is "proper Chels", whatever that is.
My take, Mount was a kid in the academy who, thru hard work and determination , fought his way into the first team and lived the dream. Until we decided to sell him. He was an important player for us. Enzo is just another gun for hire, who is "proper Chels" because we offered more money than anyone else. He hasn't got even close to justifying the price tag. Perhaps he shout shut his mouth, show some humility, get his head down and concentrate on football. When he provides the pass that wins us the CL, like Mount did, he can give it the big I am. Until then, the jumped up little prick should keep quiet.

ks. We didn't want to sell Mount. He wanted 250k a week having been pony for the entire season and asked to leave because we wouldn't pay it. But you'll ignore that because he's an academy kid. Mason is the real mercenary here, gone for money. We saw it in his departure video where he couldn't give two f
ks about Chelsea. Unlike Azpilicueta who joined us as an adult and was in tears. Good riddance to him.hemidom said:
