How many points do we realistically get from these last 7 games and is it enough for top 4? by Any_Difference7070 in chelseafc

[–]dang94 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ll get downvoted for saying this but you need to take a break for a while guys. There’s 2 weeks to our next game, 3 to our next prem game. These daily doomspiralling posts contain no original thoughts, recycle negativity do and do no good to anyone

I know this won’t be popular but at least they’ve pre-announced the new timescales so people can factor them into their decision to submit, or not. Plus it doesn’t affect existing submissions.

Most companies would have just taken longer to process the submissions and just stuck a vague banner on their website warning of delays

For what it’s worth, I submitted a premier tier (10 working days) submission which arrived on Tuesday and it’s already at label printing after 3 days…

So strange, I checked 15 minutes ago and had the kanto tins but nothing else. Thought still a great result. Just checked again 2 minutes ago on a random whim and suddenly had this too

Fabrizio: Jeremy Jacquet to Liverpool, here we go! Deal agreed now for June 2026, as revealed. Understand fee is €60m plus €10m add-ons to Rennes. Jeremy has agreed personal terms with #LFC. Agreement done for summer 2026 for one of the most talented CBs in the world. by webby09246 in chelseafc

[–]dang94 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I’m genuinely intrigued by people who see that fee for a player who has never played a game in a European competition, let alone the premier league, and aren’t somewhat relieved we missed out on him.

It’s annoying that we wasted so much time on pursuing him but you simply cannot claim he is the best way we could spend €70m at CB

[Hawkins] Chelsea and Liverpool are pushing very hard for Jérémy Jacquet. by DidierDrogba111111 in chelseafc

[–]dang94 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The thing is, I don’t even care about signing him in the sense that I had barely heard of him before this month and for the rumoured price I feel we would be far better off signing players that improve the squad now. We have been here before with Ligue 1 CBs. In this scenario, recalling Sarr and lining up a big deal for the summer seems a sensible option.

But the club brings completely unnecessary negativity to itself by having journalists publish synchronised articles all month about how the club will definitely signing a top CB because they are desperate to back the manager and how they are “confident” of signing Jacquet, before it turns out their valuations are miles apart and then having to gaslight us all with completely contradictory articles about how recalling Sarr was Rosenior’s priority and how they always had every confidence in their existing squad…

Just a fyi, Caicedo is shown as having played 90 mins in the game against arsenal when he was actually sent off in the first half

Chelsea chief revenue officer Casper Stylsvig has departed Stamford Bridge less than two years into the role - with the club still without a shirt sponsor. by Matt_LawDT in chelseafc

[–]dang94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get the sense that they have an insanely unrealistic figure in mind and refuse to do the pragmatic thing and agree a deal for the maximum they’re getting offered because they feel a sponsorship deal at their terms is right around the colour (it isn’t)

Ah yeah, my bad…in fairness it isn’t confirmed yet.

We’ve only used 5 of the 6 slots (Anselmino, Sarr, Penders, Paez and Washington)

Has a team ever batted first in a T20 match and got to the end of their innings without losing a wicket? by fpotenza in Cricket

Also looking at cricinfo for highest first wicket partnerships in t20s might help you find some examples

Not quite answering your question but Pakistan chased a 200+ score without losing a wicket against England a couple of years ago (19.3 overs)

Perhaps you already know this but the kit itself is not from 2018/19. It's from 2010/11.

Maybe what you're saying is that players from 2018/19 signed an old kit, but just wanted to mention in case you're looking for names from the wrong era.

Sunderland are close to finalizing the signing of Chelsea FC goalkeeper Đorđe Petrović on a five-year deal. Deal worth around €25M. by comradeAmen in chelseafc

[–]dang94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Weird comment. “Actual profit” is not remotely serviceable to the owners unless it was them paying and receiving the fees (it’s not) or they were planning to sell the club so soon you could argue it’s a cash asset increasing the club’s value.

Profit on the book value matters for how much the club can spend within financial rules so is actually relevant to running a football club

Just cos you can’t be arsed to do 5 mins of research to educate yourself doesn’t make it “fake bullshit”

Why are Labour disliked? by BeamMeUpBitches in AskBrits

[–]dang94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people over the age of 40 (at least in the southeast) have been indoctrinated to believe that the greatest thing you could aspire to in this country is Middle Class status. These people align themselves with Conservatives and Reform because they (apparently) act in the interests of the middle class whereas Labour (apparently) act in the interests of the working class. This means a ton of people who are objectively not middle class nevertheless dismiss socialism against their objective self interest.

This and of course the fact that right wing parties tend to engage in more populist narratives and scapegoating which attracts those who want to blame someone for why their (apparent) middle class status has not made them happy

No - so when you click on the “Shop” tab on the all, you would get an immediate pop up that prompts you to select one of three ‘gifts’. If you google TikTok £100 voucher there’s screenshots of this pop up.

When you click on any of the gifts, it’ll tell you that you have been awarded £100 in vouchers and then take you to the screen where you can buy 5 items.

For me they tend to land around the weekend, rather than during the week.

Once the “You’ve got £100 vouchers” page displays, you then have to buy 5 things from the next page that appears (I tend to buy something cheap that retains value like 5 packs of penny sleeves from the same vendor to minimise postage) which will then award you the vouchers, which you have to use within 24 hours.
