    Situation could get real ugly by the time they play us. Hopefully the team will be in self destruct mode and the players all disguntled. that's a game few of us thought we'd even have a chance at. By that time maybe some of the players will be shutting down mentally.

    Let's hope they aren't playing for big money contracts at that time!
    The club will be sold and bought well before then, latest news relates to Nick Candy, property developer ; "London-based luxury property developer Nick Candy now has the funds in place to make a bid for Chelsea this week."

    Although their joint net worth would suggest that they might be putting in a big stake, but not all the money. Apparently "he has held talks with former Liverpool and British Airways chairman Sir Martin Broughton".

    Org's. That's an offensive term now.

    Please refer to them as "peaceful protesters".

    Property developer? I would think that's a really sketchy proposition at this point. Bricks and Mortar seem to be hurting a bit with covid and Amazon. Kind of poetic if they are bought by some with the financial resources of GFH!

    I'm not sure "Nick" is used for steal here and if you say "Candy" in the UK you're likely to get a blank stare.

    G, F and H didn't have a single camel between them.
