"For the record I don't believe British Steel should have been sanctioned any more than I do Evraz. They're both private companies and both in business to make money, why would it be anymore unusual Evraz selling their produce to the Russian Government than BS selling to the UK Government?"

Greed is good no matter how many people it kills

Should those making a fortune off the back of war also own a football team? How do you reconcile a new signing being bought off the back of war money?

Again you're avoiding the question, what is it that you feel you can condemn Evraz with but not apply the same principle to something a little closer to home?

And all our recent signings have been made with US money. Again not a situation I'm happy with but as a fan what do you propose I can do about it?

Not avoided anything

"Mate stop clinging to this. I don't agree with who we (The UK) selectively decide to arm in the world. The British gov obviously disagrees so would never apply sanctions. Who do you think should be sanctioning British Steel? "

Congratulations on being an adult, unfortunately something I am not

You're now just repeating yourself, FieldsofAnfieldRd!

In answer to your question, I don't think anyone should be sanctioning BS!

Thanks for the debate, we won't agree on anything over this by the look of it but at least you try and present a thought out approach to the subject, unlike some of the other trolls that lurk around the Chelsea board just trying to point score!

Unfortunately I don't have time to continue but I wish you well until the football season starts!

There you go, Brummie.

Can't promise it will help with what you know about bee-keeping, but it will certainly expand your football knowledge.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

You're nothing more than a hypocritical clown to me.

Accept what you don't like if it suits, but demean others for less!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Can you explain to the rest of us what you think hypocritical means?

I don’t like warmongers, or their acolytes. Especially those currently committing, and assisting in committing atrocities.

It is true, I’m tend not to be so concerned about dodgy sporting shenanigans that may or may not have happened, to the benefit of many parties, over 100 years ago.

I’m weird like that.

Stop asking me questions I've already answered then

Yeah we know, make as much as you can, doesn't matter how many people die along the way. Free market capitalism no matter what the cost. And if the owner of your football club is arming a war criminal then that's OK too

You cool with Russian dissidents and UK citizens being poisoned on UK soil as well? Romans mate was so blasé about it he put the KGB agents on national telly.

Just be honest, Brummie.

You didn’t realise Chelsea have as much to thank Henry Norris about as anyone.

Better luck with the bee-keeping, eh?

You didn’t realise Chelsea have as much to thank Henry Norris about as anyone.


If after supporting Chelsea for 60 years, you think I don't know about our history, how we came about and that if events and conspired differently, Fulham could have been playing a Stamford Bridge, you're more stupid than I thought.


The difference between you and me, is that, despite loathing your club, I don't hang around your board like a bad smell try to point score and be generally being obnoxious!

I would NEVER come to your board and WUM you!

The first line of your comment barely makes sense (a theme with you?). However, assuming I have correctly deciphered what you’re trying to say, this isn’t my first rodeo having to correct headline readers such as yourself, so you are wrong, my friend.

And I only commented upon this article due to its misplaced praising of one of Putin’s acolytes. Chelsea only come into it due to your fanbase’s continued support of him.

So you are wrong about the amount of time I spend / comments I make on the Chelsea board too.

0/2.

The first line

Isn't the first line of brummie's comment, which 'doesn't make any sense', him copying and pasting part of your own previous comment to reply to?

The first line was your line - not surprising that it doesn't make sense to you then!

Taken out of the context of my original comment it is misleading. A couple of apostrophes would've helped highlight you'd clipped it from my point, so really, the fault is yours not mine.

Fair enough, I should've realised you might struggle with something as basic as that.

My point still stands.

But as a gentleman, we'll call that last round a draw.

This is the most Winston comment not made by Winston I've seen on this forum

I guess not allowing you the last comment, only makes it worse?

I’d better not reply then…

My how gracious of you!

Next time I copy n paste one of your lines, I'll be sure to put it in bold italic, highlighted in Red, with parentheses, to make sure you can't forget what you've written!

And I thought I was supposed to be the senile old codger!

I’d better not reply then…

And that's the most un-Winston like one

Well played sir
