Utterly disgusting allegations about Mason Greenwood.
If your first reaction is to make jokes about Prison FC, then you’re trivialising what victims go through and are part of the problem.

Chelsea’s FA Cup win means they got £39,000 in prize money in total.

Emma Hayes to Sky on Catarina Macario: "I love her to bits, she's a great human. I knew bringing her to Chelsea we'd have to go backwards before going forwards. To the Chelsea fans, I'm leaving you a superb player, she's a world-class striker for a long-term."
