They can't, that's the point. They lost £44m last year. Roman Abramovich can afford to pay it. Chelsea FC cannot.

Excellent column. It's all very simple but it's rare that anyone reporting on football actually achieves this sort of clarity.

Aye, they aren't the worse. I've been to aways v Leicester a few times though and their support is generally rubbish.

M'boro are complete ****s. In our first season down, had we drawn a top 6 Prem team we would have sold 32,000 easily.

Yeah lol at us for having a bigger crowd for a non-league team than the aggregate of a Prem v Prem tie and a Prem v CCC tie.

It's amazing how many Pompey fans think we didn't sell out the Dell regularly.

PMSL - seriously?

Bierhoff and Skacel?

Cool. Cheers.

Is this from the radio? Pardew?

Do you mean right back!?

Happy to secure the win. Luton are probably better than quite a few league teams and have only played once in the last two or three weeks so it was never going to be a stroll in the park. Our team is a mixture of Championship standard players and distinctly average League One players. If we can replace the latter with more of the former or top League One players we'll be fine.

What a bunch of joke clubs. Mboro and Leciester got 12-13k today and the Skates got just over 11k. Bear in mind Mboro were playing a Prem team too! Absolutely disgusting. They should all be in the third tier.

Lol - great minds and all that!

Alan Green is an ignorant ****.

No.

With our resources 3 Wembley trips is the absolute bare minimum we should expect. I will be fuming otherwise.

Punished for what?

Right, we need to hold this lead until half-time and then win 3-1 please!

Lambo - what a ****ing legend.

Sounds as though we've been well on top for the last 10 minutes anyway.

The attendance is probably a bigger LOL.

Would do me nicely... £££

Are they? Too subtle for me.
