Chelsea's to lose

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/38524102

That means Arsenal would finish outside the top four for the first time since 1995-96.

Clearly a flaw in its algorithms.

we've lost our snap crackle and pop, our sparkle

teams just defend against us these days and get the odd breakaway goal or three

Messi goes level with Koeman on most free-kicks scored for Barcelona

Took him long enough, Koeman did it in 6 seasons 😒

Still one of my favourites..

Lovely little dink that

Yep without Mane we are not the same team. Dreading Sunday...

Nothing to see here, move along please.

Oh.
Oh no.
Definitely not. Not the same people involved. AT ALL.

Now we have a massive game against Liverpool. Nine games in a row but football has no past, you have to live in the present and the present is Liverpool

Top trolling from Juan Mata

RIP ex-England and Watford manager Graham Taylor

RIP, sad news.

Also, one-season wonder Payet on strike and on the way out:

RIP.
Go on strike but don't expect your wages would be my words to him. Followed by cunt

Footballers can be fined max 2 weeks wages at a time.

Then I'd fine him 2 weeks wages every week

Sad news about Graham Taylor, shit Ingerlund manager, did very well at Vicarage Road... RIP...

All England managers are shit. Maybe, just maybe, the manager isn't the cause of the problems.

Anyway, Taylor always struck me as being a decent, honourable man, who clearly loved football. Let's hope that's how he is remembered.

Ironic now that you posted that video today

Was just thinking that,
RIP
Always liked listening to him talk about football.

RIP

Villa legend. Brought us back up last time and up to finish 2nd before he was poached by England.

Took Watford to their first and only FA Cup Final in '84 and stood up to the racists at The FA who told him to 'not pick any black players'

Can we be sure they weren't just trying to get him to forget about picking Carlton Palmer?

Mentioned his death earlier to a younger member of staff, who said 'Oh, was he the onion-head?'

Long-standing Leicester favourite, Alan Birchenall, had a heart attack last night. He scored this cracker against Leeds in the first game I ever went to at Filbert Street, playing for the "entertainers" that Jimmy Bloomfield assembled. They never won anything, but played beautiful football and are the reason I loved the game.

The Birch still works for the club - MCs the half-time entertainment, greets the opposition teams, all-round ambassador and raises a shed load for charity with his runs every year. Wishing him well.

I remember him playing for Chelsea back in the 60s. 20 goals in 75 games. Hoping he recovers.
