Coneys Knee 959 Posted March 10, 2022 All the more reason to display anything Ukrainian you can get your hands on. Show your support for the Ukrainians and stick one on the premier league for allowing Chinese money to be more important than human life and it’s unjustified killing. Shame on Russia, shame on the Premier league. i so hope somebody has the last minute ability to bill print 27000 Ukrainian flags and that people don’t just hold them up before the game but all the way through it. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surfer 1,547 Posted March 10, 2022 The answer is easy - lend Chelsea some yellow socks. And we’ll wear our 3rd kit shorts and socks - yellow and blue all round. Done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Greavsy 2,415 Posted March 10, 2022 I dont think the club are stopping anyone taking their own flags/ banners and the like (subject to usual admission restrictions) there is just no official ones, as decided by the EPL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ged in the onion bag 855 Posted March 10, 2022 (edited) Remind us again what there fans did to the National Anthem at Wembley a couple of weeks ago (shameful noise) and what they sang about Abramovich over the applause for Ukraine last weekend.

It wouldn't take so much to recreate this tonight as it would need to be in the City stand to be seen on TV. Was proud to be part of this at the Brentford game but it didn't make MOTD for obvious reasons. Edited March 10, 2022 by nutty nigel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheGunnShow 5,940 Posted March 10, 2022 If I were there instead of here in north-west England, I would happily risk being thrown out of the stadium and keep a printout of the Ukrainian flag in my pocket to wave during the course of the game. And if I had a musical instrument, I'd be playing the Ukrainian anthem on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With that, and with a Putin apologist owning Chelsea, I wanted both teams to lose the match! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the EPL threatened us then I'm of the opinion that public and government sympathy and the moral high ground would be ours. Because of the bleddy Chinese!!
