Stripey McStripe Shirt Posted Sunday at 20:18 Posted Sunday at 20:18 Just switched it on at the end of half time. Has anyone said something like Cole*-Play yet? That'd be a good play on words. * Palmer, get it?
whelk Posted Sunday at 20:20 Posted Sunday at 20:20 Some of you will hate this because it’s scousers but great tribute at the end 3
SNSUN Posted Sunday at 20:25 Posted Sunday at 20:25 Had a choice of whether to watch James or James tonight and I ended up choosing James. Nice big scoreline from James's team tonight.

ant Posted Sunday at 21:21 Posted Sunday at 21:21 Given footballers can't resist pulling Cucurella's hair, should its continued existence be considered an unfair advantage?
Maggie May Posted Sunday at 22:53 Posted Sunday at 22:53 Trump joining Chelsea’s trophy presentation is up there with the funniest thing I’ve ever seen. He just refused to leave. Haha.
sockeye Posted Sunday at 23:36 Posted Sunday at 23:36 Just read that Chelsea get $142.3 million for winning the Club World Cup. Not exactly healthy for the game. 1

And then dare him to try to deport me using his masked ICE Gestapo thugs while 100 million are watching. 1

He went on and on about how many hours he would have to drive his bus to get that. Just as well he can't see how FIFA are ruining the once humble game of football. 1
Football Special Posted Monday at 07:24 Posted Monday at 07:24 I didn't watch a minute of that tournament, even Chelsea / Man City fans I know weren't interested yet Fifa will claim it was a success. All about the global product Do Chelsea even have a pre season now ? 1

All about the global product Do Chelsea even have a pre season now ? I wasn’t really interested I watched Bayern Munich beat that New Zealand team as I was bored and thought the whole thing was a farce. Watched the semi final PSG V Real and was blown away by PSG to be honest so watched the final as was expecting them to dish out a similar performance tonight but Chelsea were excellent. Crap tournament and nothing more than a money maker for FIFA but I did enjoy the semi final and final 1

I think with the bald FIFA guy saying its a success due to the revenue made sums it all up really. Not too much about the fan experience, prestige etc....nope just about money made. 2

A pure marketing operation and a way of shoehorning in sub-standard Middle East and American teams into the world order. FIFA are jealous of the revenue that UEFA have via their club competitions, and this is Infantino’s idea to counter it. if ever a photo summed up everything wrong with the modern game… 3

All about the global product Do Chelsea even have a pre season now ? Absolute nonsense of a tournament, and it seems a pretty hollow success for Chelsea - leaving aside the $ won of course - as it means fuck all to most fans. The whole thing is a Watneys/Texaco Cup type tournamnent designed for billionaire owned clubs in the 21st Century for a global tv audience. In truth the Watneys/Texaco Cups meant more to the real fans of the clubs taking part at the time. No doubt Chelsea and their players will be crying about too may games towards the end of next season. I consider myself fortunate to have lived trough a bit of a golden era of football 1960's - 80's , before it started on the slippery slope to what it has now become. 2
AlexLaw76 Posted Monday at 17:17 Author Posted Monday at 17:17 The World Cup itself wasn’t popular when it started in the 30s So who knows

Is anyone outside of Surrey that excited about Chelsea winning this? Chelsea & City aren’t even the best two clubs in England. They will keep running it though as it creates TV revenue and armchair football fans will pretty much watch anything. I’m more than happy for the ‘Super clubs’ to bugger off and do this all the time. Leave the rest of us to it… 2

Tommy Mulgrew Posted 17 hours ago Posted 17 hours ago Perhaps I was a bit obscure or merely of an older generation: In UK slang, "johnny" can refer to a condom. It can also be a more general term for a man or boy, similar to "chap" or "guy" What is a Johnny in Cockney slang? Johnny-bag - condom. Never mind.
