Ending 3pm blackout will help combat piracy, says Sky Sports Measure was introduced to protect attendances and amateur football but broadcaster says it encourages illegal streaming of Premier Leagues games

So would reducing prices, but we never seem to discuss that for some reason.

It is this simple: football has zero responsibility to help the Premier League tackle piracy.

This is a problem they caused in persuit of ever higher revenues and profits.

There is neither benefit in nor obligation for the rest of football to take any steps whatsoever to help.

Now it's officially a FIFA tournament

Transfers Podcast Extra | Inside Chelsea’s two Lukaku transfers Podcast Episode · The Transfers Podcast · 24/04/2025 · 37m

I feel like this transfer really could have worked out in other circumstances. A massively underrated factor is the impact of a change of ownership on resolving the Lukaku issue. In depth, nuanced look at one of Chelsea’s biggest deals. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

Personally I think it's really unnecessary to wait until 7 February for the Women's Champions League quarter-final draw... Now we know who's through, get on with the draw. Do it now and give fans more time to buy tickets and flights, rather than just 5-6 weeks notice before March's 1st legs. #UWCL

I believe it's goals scored before GD though?

I believe so.

I believe I am right in saying that it actually in Chelsea's case requires them to lose by 2 goals as they have the lead on H2H on goals scored.

Not so sure that is necessarily needed. Yesterday Cuthbert missing through suspension, OJF and Bartel all minor knocks, same as Baltimore made it look thinner than it is. And also Kerr and Fishel to return c. February.

Yes, to be honest if we needed a wake-up call, rather it came before Xmas than after.

Basically this was Reading away again, except we actually got a point. No one bar a couple played well for about 75 minutes.
Meagre positives - Kaptein excellent and Bernabé looked sharp. Should have won it late on.

One of those 18 was still Ethan Pinnock scoring a header from a long throw.

Precisely my point. See my above team.

Being called a Manchester United fan for my valuations apparently being too generous(!) was not what I expected this evening.

Swap Guiu for Nkunku, Neto for Mudryk and Carney for Félix. 👀

Richard Olise - Michael's younger brother. Right sided player.

Jørgensen
Acheampong-Disasi-Tosin-Veiga
KdH - Rak-Sakyi
George-Félix-Mudryk
Nkunku

Bench: Bergstrom, Dyer, Mhueka, Guiu, Murray-Campbell, Chukwuemeka, Neto, Olise

Purely an educated guess.

Didn't think he qualified for the B list nowadays. Might be wrong?

Would be tempted to take Pedro Neto as suspended for Brentford.

Funny now people realising Jim Ratcliffe doesn't care about anything besides making money when the media were busy painting him as some working class hero who wanted to save Manchester United. All he has done is sack people, disparage the women's team and raise ticket prices to obnoxious levels.

Christen Westphal is an outside pick.

Nearly as boring as Maresca being asked every presser about Sanchez being No. 1 or whether we are in a title race. The answer is not suddenly going to change!

If you could make one #ChelseaFC or #ChelseaFCW signing in January to have a real impact, who would you pick and why?

🚨 Sonia Bompastor confirms that Niamh Charles is available for the Brighton game ✅

Sam Kerr is expected to be back in February, or March time. She is still training individually ❌
