Stamford Bridge‘s attendance is the best in percentage among Premier League’s top clubs’ stadiums.

The Bridge has a capacity of 41,631 seats while the average attendance is 41,528 fans for a percentage of 99,75%.

Only Bayern Munchen and Freiburg in Europe, considering just the best five leagues, have a better percentage than Chelsea.

The Blues are followed by Arsenal which have a percentage of 99,55% at Emirates Stadium, by Manchester United (99,53%) and Leicester (98,99%) with seven English teams in the top-ten.

 

Well done Chelsea, great stuff.

 

"The Bridge has a capacity of 41,631 seats..."



That's pathetic!

 

Best filled ground in Britain by percentage

 

This will go #netspend

"Real Madrid intend to make a summer move for Eden Hazard as they seek the latest galáctico at the Santiago Bernabéu. They are also considering a bid for his Chelsea and Belgium team-mate Thibaut Courtois and believe the goalkeeper would be open to the move even though he has publicly stated he does not see himself leaving London."

Thanks to NSIS for tipping me off about this bit of news.

Worrying times for Conte and Chelsea, as the Real Madrid tapping-up machine grinds into action.

 

Ronaldo tells Madrid: Do not sign Eden Hazard

Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has told his club not to sign Eden Hazard this summer.

As reported by Spanish outlet, Diario Gol, the ageing Portuguese attacker would fear for his place in the Madrid side should Hazard arrive at the Bernabeu this summer.

Ronaldo is also keen for the club not to pursue moves for Atletico Madrid’s Antoine Griezmann and Paris Saint-Germain’s Marco Veratti as he worries about the ego of the players that could arrive in Spain’s capital.

The winger has previously been linked with moves to La Liga after a number of glittering performances in the Premier League this season.

Hazard has been back to his best under Antonio Conte this season, playing a key role in Chelsea’s charge for the title.

Wow! With Ronaldo ****ting his shreddies about the prospect of Hazard moving to Madrid and stealing all of his thunder, you just know there's something in this!

Hazard has been a half-decent player for Chelsea, but he's going to be superb at Real.
