I love that of you don’t like something you just sue! #hilarious
The inability of Chelsea’s financial team to secure a front of shirt sponsor for 3 consecutive seasons is poor at best & negligent at worst. It inevitably impacts PSR & leads to the sale of Academy graduates. I also question why they haven’t then ‘gifted’ the shirt fronts to a worthy charity #CFC
www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... I’ve horrible memories of my younger sister having whopping cough - ignorance of the importance of vaccinations is literally killing people
Unbelievable RFK Jr saying ‘need to stop trusting the experts’ Expertise is based on experience and data You’d want expert pilots, surgeons, educators, financial advisors etc Surely the people most qualified to make decisions should be advising on those decisions
www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... This is what you get when you vote Reform: councillors unwilling to answer questions and be held to account
Rick did we not play them in the 1910-11 season, winning at the Bridge and drawing away ?
Chelsea played Lincoln City eight times in their first six years of existence. Six league games and twice in the FA Cup. They not met since 1911 so no living fan has seen Chelsea away at Lincoln #EFLCup
How have #Everton never won the League Cup? That great side of the mid 80s. The side with the Holy Trinity in the 60s. If your the Everton manager surely one aim, every season, is to address the obvious omission from the honours list. Particularly given 30 trophyless years
pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC... Wow - the brain of those born deaf repurposes the auditory cortex for other roles Remember this next time someone trots out the falsehood about we only use 10% of our brains as it’s another great piece of evidence for why this is false
Who will be the first journalists to repeatedly call out Farage over being the cause (via BRExit) of the small boat crisis rather than being the solution @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social @theguardian.com @channel4news.bsky.social certainly not @dailymail.co.uk who have a large blind spot over the issue
That’s either m57 or 58 M56 runs Chester to Manchester… #motorwaybore
Curious (nosey) as to your route? Why the M56 on that journey?
www.bbc.co.uk/sport/tennis... If thr ATP can does this why not FIFA, UEFA, the FA, EFL etc
MAGA in the USA and ReformUK in the UK ‘net zero is pointless because other countries, like China, are bigger polluters than us and are doing nothing…’ Really! Really? What about this move to solar in China then ? What’s your excuse now ? www.independent.co.uk/asia/china/c...
Would love to see a version of this table that is order by net spend (and with text alignment issue addressed!)
Which suggests they’ve bottling it against the smaller teams and blowing their title against the mid table abs bottom half Attitude problem? Motivation problem ? Managerial problem? The question that immediately springs to mind is why? Or like The Invincibles are they draw merchants?
Three of Chelsea’s greatest ever goalscorers: Bobby Tambling (3) Peter Osgood (4) and Kerry Dixon (5) have less caps between them than Ray Parlour (10) That makes no sense !
Rather bizarre - not other - damn this ‘smart’ text guessing what I wanted to say
More hypocrisy from Reform Farage went into meltdown mode over modifications to the English flag on the England football change kit and flew into the same state over Team GB athletes wearing a modified version of the Union flag but what’s this we see on the (other bizarre) Reform football shirt?
So is she (A) really that dense? (B) deliberately trying to stir distrust in the electoral process? Either answer is a pretty poor indication of the standard of representative being elected (And the two answers aren’t mutually exclusive)
Is there a footballer who has played alongside more Ballon D’Or winners than Iker Casilles? By my reckoning he’s played in the same team as Ronaldo (R9: 97 02) Zidane (98) Figo (00) Owen (02) Cabbavaro (06) Kaka (07) Ronaldo (CR7 08 13 14 16 17) Modric (18) Benzema (22)
When did Threads descend to cess pit level of Twitter (X)? Noticeable the differences in replies you get if you post the same message on different platforms On hear people disagree with you without being rude and you can actually discuss differences of opinion
Ken Bates was ahead of the game building that !
There is, of course, no connection at all between football fans feeling emboldened to fling racist abuse in public and mainstream politicians uttering barely-sanitised versions of the same sentiments.
Arsenal fans are always vocal about Chelsea spending: how can they afford it? PSR? Etc The largest fees Arsenal have ever received for The Ox (£38m) & Anelka (£35m are less than the two largest fees Chelsea have received from ARSENAL let alone anyone else (Havertz £65m Madueke £49m) That’s how!
My Grandfather always made a habit of thanking veterans attending the Royal Tournament and making sure I knew who they were and why we were thanking them. I particularly remember one year being sat in front of members of the Guinea Pig Club, some of the bravest men I ever got to thank
Winter is coming… the honking sounds of geese are apparent when my windows are open as the geese are beginning to gather for their migration
Football players again receiving racist abuse from racist idiots. When platforms can almost instantly remove copyright violations how difficult can it be to prevent racist messages being sent
I can think of numerous villages where the response would be in stages 1) No 2) Set up social media accounts for those who don’t have them 3) Post lots about Vance and Trump 4) Repeat in neighbouring villages
So how do we preserve family history and heritage or does it really not matter any more? Yes we can print albums but do we ? 3/3
Photos now are digital, so the handing down from generation to generation of albums with handwritten captions explaining this is Great Uncle Maurice and Great Aunt Phil at my Grandparents wedding could soon be a thing of the past 2/3
There are more photos of my wife and I than either of our sets of parents; and more of our parents than our Grandparents and yet I suspect our children will have more photos of our parents than of us. 1/3
That’s not even an attempt get the ball, simply the chance to rake his studs down the back of Poyet’s leg. Three years earlier he somehow escaped a booking for kicking Gus in the head!
www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... This would make such a difference to so many under the age of 22 and/or those on low(er) incomes
Would love to see Jess Carter print every single racist message she’s had onto a separate sheet of A4 and deliver them to Badenoch in person
Tech Colleges award Level 4 and Level 5 qualifications Poly’s awarded degrees from the Council for National Academic Awards (CNAA), and when they converted to Uni’s gained their own awarding powers
If THE Guardian is right & Chelsea/Leipzig discussing a swap deal that sees Xavi Simons/Christopher Nkunku switch clubs then it brings a little more balance to the Chelsea squad (midfielder for forward) plus brings in another young player. Nkunku will be outstanding somewhere but not, sadly, at CFC
Only friendlies but the performance of the Chelsea wingers against Leverkusen and Milan suggests to me that Alejandro Garnacho isn’t needed. He runs the risk of being the next Joao Felix if he signs: not really used, so loaned out then sold
What David Coleman understood is that sport itself can ‘speak’ he said nothing from 38 seconds for the next 15 seconds, he let the pictures tell the story & then picked up the summary of the race. A trait shared by other great commentators: Peter Alliss (Golf) Brian Johnston (Cricket) John Motson
www.france24.com/en/live-news... Remarkable - until you realise the connections that those in ‘power’ have with the fracking industry !
👏 👏 👏
www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a... @uefachampions.bsky.social this is a disgrace. A statement needs to be issued and an explanation provided Russia the aggressor is being funded, but the Ukraine, who defending their sovereignty are being punished
www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba... When people still buy spares from the people who one week have tickets they don’t need at Old Trafford and next week at Anfield and the week after for Stamford Bridge you have to ponder the gullibility of some of the people that fall victim to these people
Arsenal have backed Arteta to the tune of nearly £200m this transfer window. If they don’t land a trophy this season will (should?) he be replaced next summer when some great managers become available after the World Cup
Too good not to share…
The bottom line is his actions will result in American deaths whether from measles and other diseases that the rest of the world keeps in check with vaccine programmes or by not developing vaccines that keep pace with mutating illnesses
You should audition for the role of Doctor Who - all the other actors have had to pretend to be over 600 years old; you’ve the lived experience
Staggering! RFK Jr has Axed $500m vaccine funding Fired the committee issuing government immunisation recommendations Replaced them with people who have criticized vaccines Removed Covid-19 vaccine from the CDC Withdrawn recommendations for immunisation for healthy children & pregnant women
Can’t argue with that
Relatively low numbers so wild guess but going with arrests at home games ? If not then arrests at all games ?
Your point about the number of wingers at SB is, however, valid!
Actually not bothered by his departure not ready for first team yet and Cobham has other prospects equally as good or better.
Slightly surprised the rumour mill hasn’t put Alfie Gilchrist at the Coventry Building Society Arena for next season. A Chelsea legend as manager not linked with a loan for a Chelsea Academy Graduate. His versatility adds to any squad he joins
I was thinking he was prolific at Bournemouth, but he wasn’t and they’re also not a big club so out on two counts Pereira similarly as Fulham mid tier not ‘big’ club
Hang this in the Louvre seems unnecessary baiting of the French…
Is it just my ‘For You’ feed or has Threads descended towards the low quality output of X ?
Dominic Solanke must have played 30ish times for Liverpool and then became prolific at Bournemouth
Arguably Anthony Elanga Man Utd (40 ish games) and outstanding at Forest
Andreas Pereira did very little at Man Utd but has looked outstanding against all opposition for Fulham
It’s not widely known but Sgt Matt Busby (later Sir Matt Busby) made three appearances for Chelsea during WW2 wearing the No 4 shirt #Chelsea #Carefree #CFC #ChelseaFC
Fellow Chelsea fans: am I alone in hating this LDN addition to the CFC branding? Or is it winding others up too? It’s so unnecessary- if you don’t know the city we’ve in don’t follow us !
In securing their sixth consecutive WSL title Chelsea have lost just 8 league games in 6 seasons That’s the same as 2nd placed Arsenal & 3rd placed Man Utd lost combined THIS season alone
That aged well he’s scores this afternoon !
1 point against relegation candidates Ipswich is going to ultimately cost Chelsea a decent league position Forest (a) Newcastle (a) Liverpool (h) Man U (h) Everton (h) Fulham (a) 3rd 4th 1st 14th 13th 7th Simply could not afford to drop points if serious about a top 5 finish
Why impose tariffs on US whisky? The quality directs most consumers towards products from elsewhere!
Someone please explain how exercising the choice to not buy a Tesla is, according to Trump, illegal?
20,000 Puritans leaving the UK & Europe for the New World and founding the USA is now, under Trump, beginning to increasing look like Golgafrinchan Ark Fleet Ship B
If Carol is discussing their latest paper as part of this work it should not be missed It’s a game changer in terms of format and content
Ever the developmental psychologist !
Todd Boehly’s share plan for Premier League clubs appears to be dressed up as democracy but looks to simply be a way to give the big clubs power and remove the need for a minimum of 14 Premier League clubs needed to vote in favour of a change
Roberta Metsola President of the European Parliament 👏
Could not agree more. The Prez & VP are shameful, embarrassing Putin puppets & a disgrace to our country. 🤮 #SlavaUkraine 🇺🇦
Luís Montenegro Prime Minister of Portugal 👏
Sweden stands with Ukraine 👏
Olaf Scholz Chancellor of Germany 👏
Jonas Gahr Støre Prime Minister of Norway 👏
Petr Pavel President of the Czech Republic 👏
Petr Fiala Prime Minister of the Czech Republic👏
Evika Siliņa Prime Minister of Latvia 👏
My Senator is a traitor.
Gitanas Nausėda President of Lithuania 👏
Maia Sandu President of the Republic of Moldova 👏
Pedro Sánchez Prime Minister of Spain 👏
It bears repeating.
President Zelenskyy is the democratically elected leader of a sovereign country, a hero who is bravely standing against the illegal invasion of Ukraine by a murderous ACTUAL dictator called Vladimir Putin FACTS AND TRUTH MATTER NOW MORE THAN EVER
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a politician as disrespectful as VP Vance was towards President Zelenskyy Attempting to scold him like a child for not saying ‘thank-you’ more often Where did the American belief in democracy, national borders & the right to defend yourself go?
@johnamaechi.apsintel.com is here ! Definitely one to follow for a great insight into a range of issues
NEW: President Trump moved Tuesday to punish a law firm for providing pro bono legal services to Jack Smith as he prepared to face a potential investigation from the Trump administration. He is stripping security clearnces and govt funding from the firm. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...
Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.
We need to change the way of things. The world is in such a precarious state, we have to declare our allegiance to what is right, not to what is traditionally expected of us. We need to immediately realign ourselves to our European neighbours & call out the vile, tawdry dealings of Trumps America.
Google maps allows you to report errors… so that’s me pointing out it’s been the Gulf of Mexico since 1550 and they’ve got the name wrong
I’d go as far as to have different awards based on the instrument being learned from most painful early stages down… - strings - brass - wind
Trump complaining that the EU (& the UK) ‘don’t take our food’ and that tariffs are the answer No, food standards are the answer: ensuring pesticide residues aren’t in the food, better labelling incl. of GMOS, restricting antibiotic use in animal agriculture, reducing colouring and additives etc
40pts Premier League status secured for next season by Chelsea 🍾 #Carefree #CFC #CHEWOL
Not quite curse of the commentator… but definitely curse of the graphic but 8 seconds later… #MUNSOT
I couldn’t possibly comment 😎
Oh Cole Palmer that is genius - the way you sat Travers on his backside was a thing of beauty #CHEBOU
@wezzo66.bsky.social one for you
US 14th Amendment Section 3 “No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President… …shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.” How is Trump not ruled out ‘comfort to..’?
Whilst Trump is talking about Canada, Greenland, Panama and the Gulf of Mexico and this is grabbing all the headlines I wonder what he’s attempting to do whilst attention is drawn to his latest insane pronouncements Smoke and mirrors misdirection We’ve seen this MAGA dance before
