Things are falling apart at Chelsea


Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has recently stadium plans, citing an unfavourable investment climate. It comes after the 51-year-old was recently denied a UK Visa renewal, forcing him to seek residence in Israel.Its already been a bad summer for Chelsea supporters. Their owner https://www.shopprogiants.com/Mark_Bavaro_Jersey.NFL is currently denied visitation in the United Kingdom, theres uncertainty over who will be manager next season and a number of important players could be on their way out in the coming weeks.Chelsea are falling apart and could be in for a rough season.Player recruitment has been disappointingAfter winning the Premier League title in 2016/17, Chelsea would have been hoping to strengthen the squad for a credible title challenge, but the Blues instead finished outside of the top-four. They won the FA Cup earlier this month but bowed out of the Champions League to Barcelona in the last-16 and to Arsenal in the League Cup semi-final. The squad had barely improved from the previous season, with additions such as Willy Caballero (Manchester City), Davide Zappacosta (Torino), Emerson (AS Roma), Danny Drinkwater (Leicester City), Ro s Barkley (Everton), Tiemou Bakayoko https://www.shopprogiants.com/Deandre_Baker_Jersey.NFL (AS Monaco) and Alvaro Morata (Real Madrid) struggling to make an impact in their debut season.Only Antonio Rdiger (AS Roma) and Olivier Giroud (Arsenal) came away with any credit.

However, things are currently at a standstill as Chelsea to pay Conte 9m in compensation to sack him, nor will they pay 7m to get Sarri, so theres a real uncertainty over who will be the Londoners manager next season.Such uncertainty could lead to a number of talented players jumping ship in the coming weeks too.Key players look set to leaveChelsea recently contract talks with Thibaut Courtois, as the Belgian goalkeeper looks set to run down his contract and leave on a free transfer next year. As a result, the Blues https://www.shopprogiants.com/Odell_Beckham_Jr_Jersey.NFL are willing to sell Courtois this summer to ensure they get some value for him, rather than lose him for nothing in 12 months.Willian could follow him out of the door too, with the Brazilian forward unhappy with Conte over a lack of playing time last season.

Portsmouth Fans Love Misery Portsmouth Fans Love Misery


I think its important to make clear now that what I mean is the misery of being a mid-league, mid-table side that no one has any comment about.Apart from a couple of seasons supporting Chelsea when Di Matteo was a player and a couple supporting Man Utd leading up to the triple I have been a Portsmouth supporter all my life. In this time I have seen my club sell John Aloisi for peanuts to Coventry, Robert Prosinecki keep the side out of relegation trouble single handedly, Harry Redknapp buying a new team every season before leaving every time the money dried up, and of course the FA Cup win.Frankly now these memories seem to belong to another club as the team I support has more recently been crippled by debts and mistreatment by more owners than any club should have in a lifetime let alone half a decade. Once we were outside bets for the UEFA Cup spots and now we look set to spend next season in League Two, with no training ground and confusion as to who actually owns what at Fratton Park. On a personal note I look increasing likely to be making a trip https://www.shopproeagles.com/Desean_Jackson_Jersey.NFL to Grimsby to honour an ill-fated pact to go to all the games between the two sides.For those unfamiliar to Portsmouths plight, in short, the club overspent on bank loans to win the FA Cup, then changed hands several times in one season, entered administration twice whilst the debt level seemingly remains untouched. The club are currently embroiled in a courtroom battle between Chanrai (twice former owner who changes his mind on whether he wants to own the club as often as you eat a hot dinner), the administrators PFK and the Portsmouth Supporters Trust for ownership of the ground and from that the club. It is unknown to the fans who will be victorious in the battle and what the future will hold for our club under either ownership, with the consensus being Chanrai will suck any remaining life out of the club to pay what the club supposedly owes him. The future under the Supporters Trust is not nece sarily brighter, with concerns emerging over the level of funding actually available to the Trust and where this is coming from. The proposal that a property developer would buy Fratton Park https://www.shopproeagles.com/Sidney_Jones_Jersey.NFL and the surrounding land on behalf of the club was not widely accepted https://www.shopproeagles.com/Jj_Arcega_Whiteside_Jersey.NFL , nor is the current suggestion of using a council loan. As of 15/1/13, the Trust stated they intended to buy the ground themselves. Im sure Im not alone amongst the fans in expre sing concern over where the money suddenly came from. This all in the same week that a second High Court adjournment over the fixed price of Fratton Park only adds to the fears that Portsmouth FC does not have long left to live.With the squad numbers dropping (only recently propped up by the promotion of two youth team players) it seems to be a long time since the likes of Defoe, Crouch, Diarra, and Johnson were playing for the first team. This has now become the norm for Portsmouth fans and to be honest we never deserved to have such names in our first team to begin with. I would be happy to see my team move past the risk of going out of busine s and sit somewhere in mid-table in league one for the foreseeable future. However, I remember when I attended Pompey games with my father when Portsmouth were a lower mid-table Division One ream just hoping to stay above the relegation spaces. As much as I enjoyed attending the games I couldnt get into the team.It was during an end of season clash with Barnsley where https://www.shopproeagles.com/Tommy_Mcdonald_Jersey.NFL Portsmouth needed to win and for results to go their way to ensure relegation survival. After winning 3-0 and storming the pitch after the final whistle I was hooked for good. It is this memory that I remember fondest, more so than winning the FA Cup, although that may be because I was in attendance for the Barnsley game rather than watching on a tiny telly in my awful north Yorkshire student pad where I watched the FA Cup win. I like to think it is because we were celebrating the preservation of our misery. Another year flirting with relegation lay ahead for us.We all want to see out hometown side prosper and not everyone can say theyve seen their local team win a trophy. Whether you think Portsmouth are hard done by or deserve all that comes their way, I wonder how many would trade their current position for a cup win and then fall for a few years. Leeds United almost reached the final of the Champions League, only to fall to League One, and whilst Portsmouth didnt quite make it that far we can take comfort in their recovery and continued existence. Local rivals Southampton also toiled with financial trouble only to be rescued in the lower divisions and are thriving now. As much as I would love to see Southampton relegated from the Premiership, for spending so much on Jay Rodriguez and whatever they pay Gaston Ramirez for him to turn down Liverpool for them, I cant begrudge them putting their club back https://www.shopproeagles.com/Ron_Jaworski_Jersey.NFL together.Many supporters talk about their club moving to a new stadium but I dont think anyone in Portsmouth has any illusions about us moving from Fratton Park in the foreseeable future. What we would like right now is to have a conclusion to the power struggle for Fratton Park, leave administration, take our points deduction, get relegated and be left to the misery we once enjoyed so fondly in the past.Bad Football Joke of the Week:Forest fans had a shock this morning after being told a world cla s defender was seen entering the training ground.

Three things we learned from Liverpools


Liverpools defence of their Champions League crown ended at the round of 16 stage as they were beaten 4-2 on aggregate by Diego Simeones Atletico Madrid.The Merseyside outfit were clearly the dominant outfit through the course https://www.clippersedges.com/Blake-Griffin-Jersey of the double-legged tie but Atletico produced a solid defensive display and scored with four of their eight attempts on target.As a result, the Reds have bowed out of the FA Cup and Champions League in the space of just one week but they are still on course to win their Premier League title with a maximum of six points required from their next nine matches.Three things we learned from Liverpools Champions League exit: Liverpools away form: The Reds were able to accumulate six points from their away games in the Champions League group stage but they were particularly disappointing in their key encounter at Napoli, where they succumbed to a 2-0 https://www.clippersedges.com/Rodney-Mcgruder-Jersey defeat. Against Atletico, the club suffered a similar fate with a slender 1-0 lo s and surprisingly failed to muster a single shot on target. That eventually came to haunt them in the home leg at Anfield where Atletico sustained the pre sure with crucial away goals in added extra-time. The Spanish outfit, however, required a top-cla s performance from Jan Oblak between the sticks as he made on the road.The need for a better back-up goalkeeper: https://www.clippersedges.com/Montrezl-Harrell-Jersey Klopps side faced elimination from the FA Cup and Champions League within a space of seven days and in both occasions, Adrian featured in goal. Adrian was impre sive for the Reds during the first half of the season when he deputised for the injured Ali son but of late, he has been susceptible to errors. On Wednesday, he was largely responsible for the opening goal scored by Atletico after his pa s was gifted straight to Joao Felix, who laid the ball https://www.clippersedges.com/Patrick-Beverley-Jersey to Marcos Llorente to find the back of the net. He was thereafter easily beaten at the near post for Atleticos remaining goals in the 3-2 defeat, and surely the Reds ought to pursue a better shot-stopper to deputise for Ali son next term.The nece sity for another elite forward: Liverpool po se s an elite frontline of Roberto Firmino, Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane but there have always been question marks over the attacking depth. Against Atletico, Divock Origi and Takumi Minamino were the forward options called upon from the forward but neither have the same pedigree as the above-mentioned trio. Origi, of course, built his reputation after scoring key goals against Barcelona and Tottenham Hotspur last term but he was not able to repeat the performance this term. The Reds may struggle to convince a potentially world-cla s forward to join them without the a surance of regular playing https://www.clippersedges.com/Louis-Williams-Jersey time but Klopp needs to find a solution for next season.
