Another good win for Chelski - takes them into the semi-final against Fluminense to be played on Tuesday 8:00pm UK time. The prize money rises depending how far you go (regardless of which continent you are from). In the group stages, wins are worth almost £1.5m, with about £750,000 for a draw Reaching the last 16 earns clubs £5.4m The quarter-finals are worth £9.5m A semi-final spot lands teams another £15.2m Reaching the final and losing is £21.8m Winning the competition is worth £29m The total prize pot Fifa has offered is $1bn (£726m), which is believed to be a record amount. Apparently, Chelski have now pocketed £55.2 million
Chelsea are on the UP! They have made the other PL teams take notice, especially if they beat Fluminense on Tuesday night (UK).
The best goal was actually by our new wonder boy Estevao Willian, who plays for Palmeiras but will be joining us soon. How he managed to get it in from the angle he did I don't know - incredible goal See 1:12 Have to watch it at you tube
Only seen the highlights, looks like we might finally have signed someone, with a brain and a little bit of emotional intelligence too, who can actually hit the back of the net ! Anyways... another £20m in the bank and a shot at the Trophy , I'll have to get up early for that one
19 forwards & £600m later... is Joao Pedro the frontman Chelsea need? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cev0njr4ykpo Will all the spending translate into winning the PL?
Even if it doesn't... Chelski do seem to have a method behind the madness... most of these exciting young new players seem to want to play for then... they're definitely head line news and people are interested in them - so we appear to be on the up. In contrast Manchester United appear to be on a downward spiral, it's been nearly 20 years since they last won the Champions League... they're finding it difficult to sign new players or hang to the young talent, like Garnacho, that they've signed
I am pleasantly getting speechless. If we win this trophy, I may slow down on criticising Maresca. And if he gives us the Pl I won't go as far as carrying his children, but it will help in changing my mind.
I will be travelling somewhere on the bus when this randomly pops into my head causing me to lol for several minutes.

I did say that, but I am slowly warming up to the guy. After a couple of other pieces of future silver ware I will most probably buy him a pint or three.
