A friend of mine who is a Chelsea fan was in shock at this behaviour. Edited March 6, 2022 by Chelm Canary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cambridgeshire canary 6,794 Posted March 6, 2022 'After this disgusting behaviour I would support them docked points or being chucked out of the league this season.' Much as that would be nice there's more chance of us winning every match of our remaining games and scoring 10 goals in each of them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wings of a Sparrow 1,425 Posted March 6, 2022 I'm more incredulous that our government seems beyond reproach with all the dirty Russian money shenanigans. What is it that irks you so much about Abramovich particularly? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What is it that irks you so much about Abramovich particularly? Probably due to him being close friends to many oligarchs and having close ties to Putin. Of course that doesn't quite make him guilty of guilty by association but think its fair to say that Putin and all his cronies aren't exactly known for being the nicest group of people in the world..

OnDaBall 137 Posted March 6, 2022 Unfortunately i'm not at all surprised that the fans did that. Maybe they are terrified that their beloved club will inevitably fade into mid table obscurity without their cash cow. Maybe all the media pundits who say that NCFC have no right to be in the PL because we don't have the money, should take a long hard look at themselves if they think we should all have questionable owners, who support or at least wont condemn war criminals, rather than try to self fund to survive in this corrupt league. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's as guilty as sin. A thief of epic proportions and the fact he's been swanning around London for decades is a shame on us all. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canarycop 209 Posted March 6, 2022 Let's hope that the Chelsea players are so disgusted by the fans behaviour that they don't turn up against us as a show of their hatred at what happened. Now that would show a bit of player power in the right context. The Chelsea fans that chanted should be ashamed of themselves and if this doesn't force the sanctioning of Roman then nothing will.

All of these players showing solidarity with ukraine on the pitch, are more than happy to take Abramovichs money, as quite clearly are the Chelsea fans. The Chelsea players should refuse to play until he's gone, that would show proper support for ukraine, anything less is hypocrisy. Man City, Everton, Newcastle etc, have no problems taking the money from unfit owners. Who cares about human rights or international law, as long as we have a good football team?

To be fair to Everton, they have ended the relationship they have with Usmanov and stopped all ties with Russian companies. Will cost them a lot of money by the sounds of it but their fans seem to back it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
