Manchester United's flight to Madrid today was due to be on an A350 of travel sponsor Aeroflot.

Flight changed this morning to operation by a Titan 757.

Why are Gasprom adverts still being allowed on ground perimeters and on tv channels?

Double standards from EUFA.

Probably something to do with the £30 million sponsorship, don’t want to have to pay it back :((

UEFA have cancelled their sponsorship deal with Russian energy company Gazprom, European football's governing body said on Monday, reacting to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

PGMOL General Manager Mike Riley has made personal phone calls to Bill Kenwright and Frank Lampard to apologise following the decision by VAR not to award Everton a penalty against Man City
Well that makes it all right then :-o

The government had come under pressure to sanction Mr Abramovich, who said he had made the "difficult decision" to sell Chelsea FC earlier this month.
Chelsea FC has been seized from Mr Abramovich as part of the freeze on his assets and the sale of the club is now on hold.
The government says it will issue a special licence that will allow fixtures to be fulfilled, staff to be paid and existing ticket holders to attend matches.
Season ticket holders can still attend games they have tickets for but the club can not now sell any more tickets for games. The club's merchandise shop will be closed.
Obviously not the most important thing happening at the moment, but could make life difficult for the Club :-o

Match replay? No, probably not. :) I was at school with Bill Kenwright and he never struck me as the sharpest knife in the box, but the lad has done well for himself.

There are other conditions on Chelski that are even more of a problem for the club:
Can't sign contract renewals with any players who's contracts are due to expire.
Can only spend a max of £20,000 per game, on travel costs to away games. Could make their continuance in the Champion's League a bit hairy.

Telecommunications company Three has asked Chelsea to remove their branding from their shirts immediately, having now suspended their sponsorship deal with the club. There’s a kit man in Norwich now heading down to Sports Direct to buy 20 plain blue football tops.
Mike Ashley favourite to buy them as well =))
