City have beaten them twice, Liverpool have drawn with them twice, so City would lose 6 points and Liverpool only lose 2. It would amuse me if Abramovich's downfall ends up costing City the title.

No, as that would hugely advantage the clubs yet to play them. They'd have to basically wipe Chelsea's previous results from the record. In essence, it becomes a 19 team league and any games played by Chelsea are voided. To be fair, I can't see this situation arising as I'm sure the government would come to some sort of arrangement to ensure Chelsea can see out their fixtures.

Footballfirst Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 'Boro statement. We are aware of Chelsea's request to have Saturday's Emirates FA Cup sixth round tie played behind closed doors and find their suggestion both bizarre and without any merit whatsoever. All concerned are well aware of the reasons Chelsea have been sanctioned and that this has nothing to do with Middlesbrough Football Club. To suggest as result that MFC and our fans should be penalised is not only grossly unfair but without any foundation. Given the reasons for these sanctions, for Chelsea to seek to invoke sporting "integrity" as reason for the game being played behind closed doors is ironic in the extreme. We currently await formal notification from the FA of the next steps but rest assured MFC will resist Chelsea's actions in the strongest terms.

They are not alone, Old Trafford is a stadium badly in need of re-investment. There is a story today in the papers that Man Utd are preparing three options, the first is to upgrade all stands in stages, the 2nd (and currently preferred) is to rebuild the south stand (something they have been reluctant to do in the past as it requires building over the railway line but now the believe modern techniques can get it done) and the third most extreme one is knock down Old Trafford and build a new stadium on the land but slightly over from the current stadium (i.e. doing what Spurs did.) However that one would require them to move out of Old Trafford for 2 years and would be the most expensive. But as you say for all the money sloshing around at these clubs the little has been spent on their stadium is mad. Though there has been limitations, particurally for Chelsea as there is the Chelsea Pitch Owners, an organisation that holds the freehold of the stadium.

I think there's one in particular, a stubborn little old lady who I imagine is like Herbie's owner in the little firehouse.
