J'ai attendu d'avoir la confirmation sur Chelsea FC. Le drame des fans de Chelsea qui sont morts en hélicoptère au retour d'Anfield est vraiment horrible.
Du coup, je vais envoyer un petit message de soutien au club de Chelsea. Dois-je l'envoyer au nom de toute la French Branch?

It is with huge sadness that Chelsea Football Club has received the official confirmation of the tragic deaths of Phillip Carter (pictured) and his son Andrew following a helicopter crash.
Our immediate thoughts and sincere condolences go to his wife Judith, and daughter Natalya, family, friends and business colleagues.
Fellow Chelsea fan Jonathan Waller and pilot Stephen Holdich were also travelling with Phil and Andrew from the Champions League semi-final in Liverpool and their bodies are expected to be formally identified later today.
Pending that official confirmation, everybody at Chelsea FC would also like to extend our thoughts and condolences to their families.
Phil, aged 44, will always be remembered as one of our most committed fans and a very popular, larger than life character.
A lifelong supporter, he was a season ticket holder in the East Stand for many years, before taking one of the boxes in the West Stand when it was first built and was then invited to be a vice-president five years ago, an honorary position.
He had four seats in the Directors Box and was normally accompanied by Andrew, 17, and frequently by his father Tom. He was present at every home game, travelled to most away games and every European trip.
Phil was a generous supporter of all Chelsea Pitch Owner events and recently accompanied another vice-president, Tony Reeves, to our Champions League match in Porto as a guest of the Chelsea directors, having made a substantial donation for a prize to be part of the official club party at an auction in support of the Chelsea Past Players Trust.
As a tribute to their lives, and as a mark of respect, the Chelsea team will be wearing black armbands at the next home match against Manchester United.
All official statements can be found on the Carter and Carter Group plc website.
