There are steps like this at the Saddledome in Calgary

Oligarch guy who owns Chelsea says he wants to sell.

Ruble keeps dropping he might make enough to buy a big mac.

Maybe the Saudis dump Newcastle and try to buy Chelsea now?

Apparently Chelsea owe Abramovich 1.5 billion pounds in loans but he is writing those off.

Another quality strike from distance for Southampton as they advance 3-1 over West Ham into the 6th round of the FA Cup.

By the way, we should all be cheering for Boreham Wood tomorrow and not just because they're playing Everton. What a terrific name

Regardless of all else, Abramovich impacted club football in a way few others can say they have. Football was in a bit of a moneyed frenzy before he came along but he was the first individual owner to truly not give a fuck and spend every dime it took to win. We’ll be feeling what he set in motion for a long time.

This has turned out to be a great loan from Chelsea - Can Saints retain him, though?

 

[StuUKWI]

I would think Chelsea would keep him next year but they do already have 300 other attacking players so maybe not.

Well, it was fun while it lasted lol

Well, if Portugal weren’t fucked before…

Saints have a decent record against Man City though so you never know.

So, Bayern took Salzburg to the woodshed today.

/Lewandowski with the natural hat trick.

7-1!

Liverpool snuck through. Didn't play very well against Inter but probably had another gear to go to if they got in trouble.

So I just watched the highlights of the Porto - Lyon match and I think the home team got VAR'ed big time today.
