Man City's sham contracts of £830m might be the biggest football story of our time. We ask what it means for Chelsea: how we feel about it, how it compares with our own case, and whether we'd even want the trophies.
Then the big one, the best punishment from a Chelsea point of view, with relegation-battling Hull, Coventry and Spurs watching closely.
Plus the postbox: Stamford Bridge or a new stadium, one January signing, and the Chelsea match we'd watch again and again.

Brentford 3–0 Chelsea | 22 Days
22 days to sit on Brentford 3-0 Chelsea, 22 days for Xabi Alonso to find a plan B, 22 days to restart the season.
A perfectly decent first half unravels when Jaidon Anthony nods in from a back-post corner, and the familiar Chelsea collapse follows: one goal down, crosses going nowhere, no answer.
Chris backs Alonso and asks for patience, while Joe wants the back three binned, Estêvão on the pitch and Lavia alongside Jordan Henderson, who might have been Chelsea's best player on the night.
Plus João Pedro's absence, Levi Colwill at left centre-back, and why Brentford, Brighton and Bournemouth always seem to arrive with a plan Chelsea don't.

Brentford v Chelsea Preview | The Fix
Chris and Joe reveal their fix for Chelsea's leaky defence ahead of Friday night's trip to Brentford — chasing a first league win at the Gtech since Ben Chilwell's solitary goal there in 2021.
Off the back of a frustrating draw at Hull, they run through why Levi Colwill is under pressure, make the case for Reece James dropping into a back three, and back Jordan Henderson and Romeo Lavia to start together in midfield against Henderson's old club.
Marco Palestra could get his first minutes on the left, Malo Gusto's struggles come under fire, and Morgan Rogers' remarkable start — three goals and four assists in six games — gets the praise it deserves.
Plus: predictions for a game that sends Chelsea into a 22-day international break.
