The Barclays Premier League is very popular in Uzbekistan and as the BBC report, fans are extremely passionate about the teams they support. Many street vendors sell various sorts of club merchandise in the Central Asian republic, like kits and balls etc, which is widely viewed to be all counterfeit but no-one has ever seen Chelsea FC toilet paper which led some fans to think that it may have been made by fans of rival teams.

Anyway clearly it is not an omen as Chelsea’s season is going from strength to strength and is certainly not going down the toilet as we are currently cruising at 3-0 towards a comfortable win over United.
