Suspended or not, if Foden doesn't start then I may just go back to being a Chelsea fan.

Banner for Balo that'll be at the game on Wednesday

Great banner. Over 50 years since Martin Luther King’s death, and yet racism is still prevalent, it’s fucking disgusting

Both fucked up with Foden mate, lol.

But we miss a lot to our Captain Kompany.
Can we borrow him for the scousers match, because of his leadership and strength
I would want him to tackle salah like he did the last match

Atalanta's fan are very racist so this won't go down well.

They had a game stopped for racism in September.
They made monkey chants to Batshuayi last year.
They had a game behind closed doors for racist abuse against Koulibaly last season.
They were racist to Nigel de Jong in 2014.
They threw a banana at Kevin Constant in 2014


Not that it's a reason to not show it, but might be worth knowing it's not exactly a neutral crowd.

If they are racist cunnts and are offended by the flag then thank fuck for the flag

I assume they go through the protocol before the game now in these places. Following the protocol puts the pressue on the home club to sort it out - although it must be hard for the players at the time to think with cool heads.

I would think that would be even more reason to show it. Solidarity and all that.

Guessing with that traveling squad it will be Poveda and Carson that miss out on the matchday squad.
