A solemn atmosphere at the Bridge to welcome the players as the fans look towards the unknown future. You would naturally expect the fans to be chanting at the top of their lungs, shouting for the punishments they have to endure through no fault of their own. But no, the away section led the songs, and the atmosphere had been set.
Chelsea hosted Newcastle in what could be their last home game with casual fans in the stadium. How scary is that? The scenes were eerie as it was almost certain that the Magpies came to make a statement. They have inherited new owners whose wealth is unmatched across Europe. To be fair, Chelsea could do with their level of riches to maintain their prestige status right now.
A weird rivalry could be brewing. The Newcastle fans seem up for it, but the Blues just needed the match to be over and done with.
