The Trinity Times

It’s hilarious watching them try to cancel @NJ_Timothy and it not working at all. Times have changed Humza. We aren’t putting up with your cry bully shite anymore. They are the exact thing they accuse you of.

@cfcAds @TeleFootball @SamWallaceTel When you mention who the daddy is, are you using facts or dreams? I’ve decided to utilise facts 👍

@TheVillaTrinity @TeleFootball @SamWallaceTel Selling us to kellyman at an inflated price.. we helped you idiots avoid breaching FFP. Know who your daddy is, and pipe down.

Chelsea players were warned not to form their infamous huddle around the ball against Newcastle United – but did so anyway, leading to the farcical encircling of referee Paul Tierney Read our exclusive by @SamWallaceTel below 🖇️ telegraph.co.uk/football/2026/…

This Labour MP wants me investigated and silenced. He makes my case for me. Labour’s rebranded “Islamophobia” definition is designed to censor us. So Mr Khan, here’s my reply: Get lost.

The official definition of Islamophobia — now repackaged as “anti-Muslim hostility” — will be used to suppress legitimate criticism of Islam and its practices. We are already seeing this play out. Less than a week after the Communities Secretary, Steve Reed, published the definition — assuring the public it would not stifle legitimate criticism of Islam — Nick Timothy is facing calls to resign after criticising mass ritual prayer by Muslims in Trafalgar Square. He has been accused of “anti-Muslim hostility” by a Labour MP and reported to the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards. This is a Muslim blasphemy law by the back door. Today, the Free Speech Union has sent a pre-action letter to Steve Reed, threatening judicial review if the definition and guidance are not withdrawn immediately. This is one of the biggest fights we’ve taken on in our six-year history. Help us stop the Government’s de facto Muslim blasphemy law 👇

@cfcAds @TeleFootball @SamWallaceTel I’d imagine an “off books” inducement has already been forwarded. That’s your way 👌

@TheVillaTrinity @TeleFootball @SamWallaceTel We’ll take Morgan Rogers in summer. Cheers

I lived in the United Arab Emirates for 12 years and never saw anything like this. Why was it necessary in Trafalgar Square? What was it trying to prove?

@TeleFootball @johnmerro1 @SamWallaceTel Your talking about the wrong thing. More time spent on a huddle rather than the fact Chelsea should-have trophies removed and points deducted. They tried to destroy Everton. The farce of the @premierleague

Completely fucking unsustainable. As anyone with even the slightest intelligence has been saying for years. But here we are, it’s going to drag us all down.

@johntownley11 Unfortunately there aren’t many other McGinn types in the team. They’ve all withered over the last few weeks, not 1 of them taking responsibility for performance and leading by example. They’ve hidden. And those types are not much use to us in the longer term.

Strong comments from John McGinn - and he's right. Now is the time for Aston Villa to get over the line. #AVFC

@Cfc_Kemboi Champions League endurance ain’t for some clubs. Here’s a snapshot from last season, where it seems Villa must have performed a miracle……

-Newcastle faced Chelsea 3 days before they faced Barcelona ,City Faced west ham 3 days before facing Real Madrid ,Chelsea faced Newcastle & Tottenham faced Liverpool. Barcelona and the other teams rested most of their players while facing mid clubs over the weekend , then play tired prem teams. The intensity in the EPL is damn deadly & draining compared to other leagues.

@TotalVilla_ @SPORTBILD Best news I’ve heard this week. Sancho is absolute gash, produces next to nothing. A huge waste of salary. Ppl dig out Bailey, but we and Bailey thought he had gone for good. Sancho is no more productive and yet some fans want to keep him 🫣😂 Get the trash out 🚮

A return of Jadon Sancho to Borussia Dortmund is taking on a more concrete form and is now a very real possibility 🇩🇪 ✍️ - [@SPORTBILD] Would you want us to look at signing him permanently for free this summer? 🤔 #avfc | #BVB

@BBCMOTD Cartel clubs. The clubs that @premierleague look after. They have had it too easy and don’t get the same protections in European competition. The Premier League needs to quickly reevaluate and change back to an open competition, the competition that a Leicester can win.

So much for the best league in the world? 😬 This is the first time that four sides from a single nation (England) have all gone out at the same stage in the Champions League. What went wrong?

🚨 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗹𝘀𝗲𝗮’𝘀 𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘀𝗮𝗻𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗟… Chelsea cheated for over a decade - that is now fact. And the penalty for this cheating? A mere £10.75m fine that will be taken from Ukrainian war victims, a suspended transfer ban (that won’t happen if they’re not caught breaking more rules) and a short ban on academy transfers. The academy ban applies to inappropriate academy recruitment but it’s nothing to do with the First Team. Under Ambramovich’s ownership, Chelsea regularly paid people “off book” to secure first team transfers (i.e., not from Chelsea’s bank account but from other bank accounts, so that the transaction was never reported - it was hidden). They did this to secure the transfers for key players such as Hazard, David Luiz, Andre Schurrle, Ramires, Matic, Willian, Eto'o. Players that were instrumental in securing titles and major revenue from Champions League spots. The Premier League Board chose to settle with Chelsea, getting their agreement rubber stamped by a Disciplinary Panel, rather than actually putting them through a hearing. And effectively, Chelsea has suffered no actual consequences for the cheating they undertook with the First Team. And how did the PL Board justify this insanely lenient sanction? Using two reasons: 1., They re-calculated Chelsea’s historic accounts to see whether the supposed money spent off-book would breach PSR rules. It did not and as such, they implied that no sporting benefit had been achieved (applying the logic that they could have simply paid the money through the accounts and it would have all been OK). 2., Self-reporting and co-operation, making the PL believe that they know all of the wrongdoing and that the new ownership will not repeat it. Chelsea’s new ownership self-reported the breach to the PL after they took over. They claim they became aware of the breaches during the acquisition diligence process. They then co-operated with the PL to uncover as much as they could. However, both these reasons completely fall apart when examined. Reason 1., entirely relies on the deeply flawed assumption that they could have moved the transactions on-book. You remove this assumption and the whole rationale falls apart. Chelsea made the transactions off-book because they were bribes. They bribed player agents to act against their clients’ best interests and manipulate a move to Chelsea instead of other teams, including PL teams. This is an egregious breach of the rules (and illegal I might add) and it came at both a cost to other teams and massively advantaged Chelsea in sporting terms because of the players they were able to secure. Reason 2., entirely relies on the assumption that the self-reporting and co-operation were complete and from a place of good morals. But again, this is flawed. Much of what Chelsea’s new owners reported was made public shortly afterwards due to a hack of professional service firms known as the “Cyprus Confidential”. The hack took place just 2-3 months before the Chelsea sale was completed. It is highly likely that the professional service firms notified key clients, like Abramovich, of the hack. He would have been able to inform Chelsea’s buyers and cultivate a paper trail that they could use to self-report to the PL. One that limited its revelations to what the hacks would have revealed and other minor infractions. And the problem? We can’t ever know the truth because it was all done off-book. There could be even worse dealings. But why could one suspect this to be the case? Because why would there be any paper trail in Chelsea’s records to be found during DD if the transactions were made off-book? It’s a bizarre notion which goes entirely against all experience of these situations. It also begs the question as to why Chelsea’s auditors never found it! They have not been mentioned here, at all…

🗣️ "The £10.75m fine given to Chelsea for financial deception and concealment is so paltry that the outrage extends far beyond tribal lines," writes @oliverbrown_tel. Read more here 👇 telegraph.co.uk/football/2026/…

@henrywinter The problem currently is PSR, which essentially forces non cartel 6 clubs to sell “homegrown” players because they’re worth more on a balance sheet. Villa didn’t want to part with Ramsey or Grealish, Newcastle didn’t want to part with Anderson. There are many more examples.

8 of the 16 players Barcelona used last night were nurtured fully, or partly, by the club. That breeds togetherness and identity. Whether for reasons of financial necessity or club culture, more English clubs need to re-assess the balance between recruitment and development. 1/2

@OGRoyalBlue1905 @TimesSport @matthewsyed Sayed has achieved more in his lifetime than you likely could in 5 lifetimes. The fact you’ve only got personal insult to offer highlights what an empty vessel you are. Very Chelsea. Very predictable.

@TimesSport @matthewsyed Pitiful journalism from a pitiful has-been. The only thing more washed-up than your ping-pong past is your present. Spare the rest of us with your next sad attempt at relevance.

Pitiful handling of Chelsea is shameful. They should be stripped of titles ✍️ @matthewsyed thetimes.com/sport/football…

@TimesSport @matthewsyed Let them keep their titles. Hand them a sporting sanction that’ll have repercussions for them now. Points deduction and 3 window transfer ban.

@premierleague This wish is a bit far fetched, but here we go…….. I’d wish for the Premier League to be a fair competition where all/any participant gets treated equally, that the authorities don’t soft soap a certain 5 or 6 clubs with light fines whilst hammering any other clubs with pts

If you were granted one Premier League Wish, what would it be? Tell us yours, and it could be the one we make happen 💌👇

You tried to bury us! You inflicted so much pain on a football club & fan base! You ordered Sky not to broadcast interviews with politicians & dubbed sound at GP. You wanted to relegate us, so to govern without regulation. You’re corrupt @premierleague We would not be moved
