Mason Greenwood should not be on a football pitch for the foreseeable future. What his girlfriend has posted is beyond horrifying.
No 'two sides to the story' defence for this cos the audio clip proves what he was doing.
Another highly talented footballer going the wrong way...
VAR took 3.5 minutes to disallow a Sheffield United goal for no real reason yesterday.
Today, within 10 seconds, 2 handballs were decided, and there was none of that line drawing check on Salah for offside.
Where is the consistency?
From 2004/05 to 2010/11, Chelsea and Manchester United dominated PL by winng all seven seasons with the Blues taking three titles and the Red Devils taking the other four.
There was mutual hatred on the pitch between the two sides and among the fans. This wasn't because of
Paul Tierney cost Liverpool two points against Tottenham, Jurgen Klopp spoke about it and the referee has since got limited duties for LFC matches. He was also removed from VAR duties after being assigned the Chelsea vs Liverpool match.
But the issue isn't discussed widely.
🚨 Shakhtar chief executive Sergei Palkin has told The Athletic that Chelsea MATCHED Arsenal's offer for Mykhailo Mudryk, but just offered better structure in payments.
Mudryk asked to predict where Chelsea will finish this season and he said:
"I dont know about that, but I know Chelsea only think about finishing first."
🥶
Everyone wanted Timo Werner and Kai Havertz.
But now that Chelsea have signed them, they are 'not that great players and won't make it in the PL'. 🤷♂️
I really wish the English refs were watching today. Lahoz & co showed how to handle a big game and got every decision right.
No VAR, no wrong offside calls, not a single step wrong.
Gave advantage when needed, no stupid stops & carded properly.
THAT'S HOW YOU HANDLE A GAME!

...now they're closer to breaking Sunderland's losing streak (10) at home in the Premier League.
FYI Arsenal fans, the joy you're feeling today is somewhat close to what it feels like after winning the Champions League.
Just wanted to take a moment and let you know. Cos, this is the closest you'll ever get.
🚨 Chelsea to submit €70 million bid for Matthijs de Ligt, as per

Looks like NO involvement of Pulisic and Werner in the offer.
Juventus still looking to sign Jorginho this summer.
Hearing that Harry Kane is the Premier League POTM for March.
4G/2A in 3 wins out of 4 matches – none of the goals proved to be the decisive one.
Havertz had 4G/1A in 3 wins in 3 matches.
Lavia grew up watching the best footballer from his country play for Chelsea. Not to mention the trophies the club has won at the same time.
Only those living under a rock for the past two decades won't understand why a player would reject Liverpool for Chelsea.
Madueke starts - best player on the pitch
Mudryk starts - best player on the pitch
D Fofana starts - best player on the pitch
But somehow these players are getting benched for someone like Sterling.
Christensen is ending his Chelsea career in a worse way than Courtois. Pulling out of the squad constantly just so that he doesn't get injured before the Barcelona move is pathetic.
People complained when Chelsea went for Badiashile over Gvardiol.
People complained when Chelsea went for Jackson over a big-name/money striker.
People complained when Chelsea went for Angelo Gabriel.
Having doubts is fine, but don't brush off a player even before he's joined.
Getting scammed in the

is a Chelsea thing.
🏆 2017 — Alexis Sanchez handball
🏆 2020 — Christensen fouled in goal lead up and Kovacic red card

Last season, Chelsea were creating chances and there was no one to finish them.
Now, Chelsea have a finisher in Lukaku but he's not getting a lot of chances.
Chelsea had 7 players out with COVID plus several injured. EFL asked them to fill in the numbers with youth players or forfeit the match vs Brentford.
Same happened vs Wolves in PL.
Liverpool refuse to tell how many are out with COVID and they have their game postponed.
Amazing how Cole, Cesc and Giroud came from Arsenal to Chelsea and become true blues while Cech & Gallas go the other way and still feel more connected to Chelsea.
Coutinho left Liverpool for Barcelona to have a better chance of winning the Champions League.
And since he left, they have reached the Champions League final TWICE!
CHO - Lukaku - Werner has to be the Chelsea front line for the time being.
Mason Mount and Kai Havertz will have to rotate or maybe have a supersub role, just like Christian Pulisic when he comes back.
I do not see a future for Ziyech at Chelsea though.
Anyone not understanding tonight is a very high chance loss doesn't have a clue. Need to get behind the lads who are fit enough to play tonight because it's David vs Goliath in relation to who is available
Guaranteed fee for Wesley Fofana is around £66M with just over £8 million in add-ons.
Chelsea's last bid was 'reluctantly' accepted by Leicester City as they wanted the transfer sorted and focus on their own incomings.
So, there was a bid from Chelsea TWO WEEKS AGO and both clubs managed to keep it away from the media.
That is incredible stuff and actually a very good sign.

@TheAthleticFC
If anyone still thinks Trevoh Chalobah should be sold, give your head a good wobble.
I want Fofana-Colwill as the main CBs, but Chalobah is currently better than Disasi and Badiashile too. Shouldn't be sold in the summer.
Excellent performance by Arsenal, shows how far we’ve improved defensively since last year’s debacle at City. Loved the fight and tenacity. Proud of you. 👏👏
Alternative Revenue System:
- Morata + £5M = Werner
- Batshuayi* + Pasalic = Ziyech
- ⅔ Eden Hazard money = Havertz
Clearly means Chelsea still haven't touched their budget for 2020/21 season. 🤯
(* on Michy assuming he's sold for £20m+)
Man Utd are making efforts to sign Kai Havertz, but a familiar story could develop here... Mr Abramovich has dusted down his wallet and wants to bring him to Chelsea alongside Timo Werner.
Clubs with ‘alternative’ revenue streams have a big advantage this summer

Oh no, look at that Liverpool injury list!

choice goalkeeper is injured; same for Chelsea and he's been out for 2 months.

choice right-back is injured; same for Chelsea and he's been out for months.
3 important midfielders are injured; oh look, same for Chelsea.

No word from Neville and Carragher on Henderson and Fabinho moving to Saudi Arabia.
When Mendy and Koulibaly - who have a bigger following than the Liverpool duo combined - moved to the Middle East there were a lot of toys thrown out of the pram.
No conspiracy theory, nothing.
VAR did everything possible to rule out that Chelsea goal despite Cucurella being onside while Gallagher is taking the free kick.
Then they switched to a possible foul which not a single Tottenham player appealed for!
"Clear and obvious" 😂
The new Chelsea owners get a lot of criticism but they have done a lot more right than wrong in the last year.
Sacking Tuchel and moving to Potter didn't go as planned and looks foolish now. But looking back at it, they did have a vision but it flopped.
Kepa deserves another chance as stayed loyal and quiet for 2 years now. Mendy has been woeful and should be benched like the Spaniard was.
Worst case: Kepa makes mistakes & is benched again.
Best scenario: Kepa does well, pushes Mendy to regain his form and CFC have 2 top GKs.
Thomas Tuchel calls out Anthony Taylor after repeated mistakes in Chelsea matches, and there is a cry for respect for the referees.
Klopp was right to speak about Tierney and so is Tuchel about Taylor. Makes it worse that the ones sitting as VAR care about their colleagues...
Cech was phased out of the Chelsea XI not because he wasn't good, it was because the future was in mind.
Same thing needs to happen with Thiago Silva. He's still at his best, but Chelsea need to phase him into a substitute role.
Playing Colwill at LB instead of LCB and benching
Paul Tierney had limited Liverpool games after Klopp's comments last season, and now Darren England will not be close to the Reds matches.
But when Tuchel commented on Anthony Taylor after repeated mistakes in Chelsea matches, there were calls for respecting the referee, and

My point remains that no one from the Chelsea or ManUtd side would celebrate it as an era of each other's success but rather see it as 3 or 4 titles dropped. They finished 1-2 in 5 of those seasons, with Chelsea and ManUtd finishing 3rd once in that period.
Billy Gilmour to talkSPORT on why had HAD to leave Chelsea:
"When I came back from my loan from Norwich, I came back and had pre-season and I just wasn’t in the plans."

Chelsea were poor, and the Liverpool players did everything to win today. But you really need to question the officiating.
The first penalty was denied at 0-0, and the second was waived at 3-1 with 15+ minutes to go. Both decisions made a massive impact on the game.
Not to
Should Caicedo join Arsenal over Chelsea, there will be no talk about money, scouting, planning, etc.
All that comes into play when the player moves to Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea's midfield revamp is scary. It has to be one of the best changes I have seen and only Real Madrid moving from Casemiro-Kroos-Modric to the new gen is better than this one.
Do not understand people saying they'd be fine with Chelsea losing to Everton this weekend.
I do not care who is at that club, all I care about are the three points Chelsea need to all but seal the Champions League spot.
Just like they did when Edouard Mendy signed, Chelsea doing all they can to show that Robert Sanchez is really tall.
PS: Sanchez [1.97m] is taller than Mendy [1.94m] and just over Cech [1.96m] too, but shorter than Courtois [2m].
Kepa is 1.86m.
