Well I am totally f****** p***** o**
Chelsea won psg.

That hasn't done much for my mood, either. Oh well, if it distracts them from the league, I guess it is a good thing.

From my fantasy manager side of things it is the worst thing ever, I need them to do well in England, which they wont with player rotation, and I need them out of Europe as I don't ever use English teams in that

Ah!  From my point of view, Chavski winning the league again would be horrid.  Only the scum winning it would feel worse, but they have as much chance as Spurs do.  I can see why you'd want them out of Europe.

Oh well, at least Argyle won, so today wasn't a complete write off.

You know ( I'm ducking out of the way of missiles now ), I don't mind who wins it.
Obviously there is the banter between Leeds and Man u, but I was born in Manchester and raised in Liverpool.
Despite what is said on the terraces I wish them all well, I hate shrek, the fat idle lazy ------ ok you get the picture lol.

I really hope that was accidental, it is bloody appalling if not.

I can't believe this, ATM have done so so well, and are doing great in their own league, but if they get drawn against Chelsea the keeper can not play -

[BrenD]

A spot of crowdfunding anyone? I'm sure we could easily get enough football fans who hate the chavs to stump up the 5m or so for Courtois to play if they are drawn together.

Poor Chavski. Looks like Courtois will be able to play after all

[ionian]

Pour Courtois - everything he does will receive massive scrutiny. If he makes a mistake, there'll be cries of "fix!". If he saves a winning penalty or shot, he'll never play for Mourinho again.

There is that, I suppose.  But unfortunately I think he'll have a massive future at Chavski no matter what happens in the matches.  I can't see Jose backing down over Lukaku, but there are other strikers out there of similar age and talent, if he can make a few quid on the deal, even better.  But for a keeper to be as good as Courtois at 21, Mourinho would be a mug to let him go.  He could easily be first choice for a good 15 years or so after Cech retires or gets moved on and will only get better with age.

Courtois shouldnt play unless they pay , he is a chelsea player and the contract stated he could only play if a madrid pay the fee per game.
This is a standard agreement and surely if he plays the contract isnt valid anymore?
Therefore the second he walks on the pitch they have played a elegible player.
I am i missing something or isnt that how a contract works ?
I dont see how they can just make up new rules against english teams.
maybe it would be ok if we can play our players who are elegible.
personally i think he may not play as they want him on loan next season.
thats my rant over lol

UEFA decided that the clause in his contract breached their rules, which to be fair it looks like it does.  As much as Platini hates the English, this isn't an example of UEFA making up a new rule to screw an English club over.
