Nice of you to make it personal. When did I mention this was about Chelsea V Arsenal.

This is why Chelsea fans are so horrific. You were absolutely nothing before the Oligarchs blood money. Its true, come to terms with it. That disgusting humans beings stinking money that he obtained with blood on his hands made you the club you are today. Without it you would be nothing.

Imagine if Ken Bates was chairmen. Its laughable to think you would have won leagues never mind Champions leagues under Ken Bates. If you're happy with it though, then that's OK.

It's almost like Girth is blaming Chelsea fans that a Russian Billionaire brought the club 20 years ago...It's beyond weird.

Roman also donated all the net proceeds of the sale of Chelsea to the victims of the Ukrainian War....

Businessmen are ruthless, in all forms, their blood in the hands so so many!

Arsenal have always been a self-funded club though, so not sure what "influence" means. Usmanov tried for years to buy them and do a Roman, but he was always prevented from doing so by the old Arsenal board, who even refused to sell him the club when it was up for sale.

Abramovich has been involved in corrupt deals. Not condoning it, but it happens in business. Blood money though? I thought people would be happy he cheated the Russian Government out of Billions in a deal? That he's donating the proceeds from the Chelsea sale to the victims of the Ukrainian war? I know he's ruthless, and we'll never know how dodgy he was/is. But this "blood money" crap is getting old.

Also Slim, do you think Chelsea were "sh!t/nothing/villa" before Abramovich? As Girth insists on saying in ever post?!!
