One Chelsea starter and two subs cost more than all 20 Newcastle United players

It ended Newcastle 4 Chelsea 1.

Newcastle United absolutely blowing Chelsea away.

Absolutely hilarious.

Even funnier were the embarrassing Chelsea fans.

Well, before most of them left well before the end that is.

In the first half pretty much only singing about Saudi oil money flowing into St James’ Park to give NUFC an unfair advantage.

When reality is that it is very dirty Russian oil money that has bought all the Chelsea trophies thanks to war mongering Putin’s mate.

You couldn’t make it up.

Especially when these latest Chelsea jokers have just bought almost another billion quid’s worth of players these past 18 months.

Shameless.

All 20 Newcastle United players in today’s matchday squad that thrashed Chelsea, cost £282m by my reckoning, an average of around £14m per player.

For Chelsea, Enzo Fernandez (£107m), plus subs Moises Caicedo (£115m) and Mudryk (£88m) costing £310m just for that trio, around £30m MORE than the entire 20 man NUFC matchday squad!!!
