FIFA allowed Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid to get their transfer bans (temporarily) frozen pending the result of their respective appeals.

Chelsea?

Nah.

:rolleyes:

(Chelsea will now take that issue to CAS using the other clubs' treatment as precedent.)

Official club statement:

Quote

 

Chelsea Football Club is astonished by the FIFA Appeal Committee’s decision not to suspend its sanction pending completion of the appeal process. 

The club acted in accordance with the relevant regulations and has already notified FIFA of its intention to appeal against the Disciplinary Committee’s decision and sanction. As a matter of procedural fairness and equality of treatment, and Swiss law, the Club’s right to an appeal process must be afforded, before any irremediable sanction takes effect.

So far as the Club is aware, in all previous cases where a registration ban has been imposed by FIFA, a decision has also been made to suspend the sanction until the appeal process has been completed. In this case, Chelsea considers that it is being treated inconsistently in comparison with other European clubs.

We will consider our next steps once we have received the written reasons for this decision from FIFA. The Club notes the Appeal Committee’s statement that it has the right to appeal to CAS. In the meantime the Club will continue to fully cooperate with the proceedings.

"ASTONISHED".

I'm really glad our new stadium is ready.

Now why the fuck are we using it at the crunch time of the season when all the team are used to playing at Wembley?

Teams tend to do well in a new ground, usually. Increased happiness/good feeling, full crowds and lots of optimism etc.

If Nike etc. are paying a tonne of money to have their name on the thing, obviously they want to start using it asap. That 100% trumps any possible concerns about how it will/won't affect the team.

Did the board die? I've had a nice afternoon despite Hughesing massively at the worst refereeing display I've seen in ages.

Also, having just seen City score I no longer understand the offside rule.

Nike sponsoring the Spurs stadium will actually finally settle the debate about how you pronounce 'Nike'.

Also, lol Pickford

Refs in this league are fucking awful. 

Again, even if you're not a fan of VAR, the game is still 0-0 if it's in use there. Didn't seem a lot of contact live, but on replays you can clearly see he's being fouled.

Erm. Given the standard of VAR interpretation by English refs thus far that's a bit assumption.
