How did this guy win a World Cup?

He's not the goalkeeper who was done for drunk driving is he?

The Stamford Bridge supporters were very eloquent in Wales on Sunday, according to the Metro.
Chelsea fans turn on Maurizio Sarri during Cardiff game and chant ‘f**k Sarri-ball.’ https://metro.co.uk/2019/03/31/chel...rri-cardiff-game-chant-fk-sarri-ball-9073419/

(yet another) Taxi for McCLaren! https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47773297

Every football supporter with half a brain knew this would happen yet the owners and directors who make such decisions simply say next!

Following the Old Firm dismissals yesterday, Alfredo Morelos gets a 4 match ban (with only 7 matches left to play) while Halliday got a 1 match ban. Ryan Kent's lash-out to be dealt with tomorrow.

I really dislike the term "Old Firm". The Rangers died. The The Rangers are a NEWCO.

Its just one of the many Glasgow derbies.

 

[Weekender]

And you would express that opinion in a public house frequented by Gers fans?

And have you also written to the BBC, Daily Record, Herald, Sun, Star, Telegraph, The i and the P&J who all refer to the Old Firm on their front pages? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-47770710

As for Glasgow derbies, I'm not seeing many other ones in the 4 divisions at the moment.

Jordan Pickford trending on twitter.

Not the greatest weekend for Match officials.
Not a Gooner, but not sure about disallowed goals tonight.
Goal difference could be crucial come the end of season.

Not the greatest season for Match officials.

Fixed that for you.

With 6/7 matches left for the top six in the PL there is still everything to play for.
Having assessed the remaining fixtures my opinion is that the final positions will be :- Liverpool, City, Arsenal, Spurs, Chelsea & United.
What do you think?

I'd say that was correct and hope that is the case, but I suspect Liverpool maybe 2nd..

That's the important bit.

Yep. It’s been that sort of year.

 

[tqineil]

Don't see Spurs in the top 4 tbh. That stadium is going to be a bit of a white elephant...

Well if they don't it'll be 'buy one get one free' on Thursday nights

United played well until the dopey sending off by Young, and mistakes ultimately led to their downfall. That said, Wolves are an amazingly well drilled outfit, with plenty of quality too.
As for the top 4, it will be interesting to see how Arsenal's results pan out with so many away matches to play. Spurs moving to their new ground could be a problem, and effect their form till the end of the season, new ground has recently meant sketchy form for clubs. I stand to be corrected, but Arsenal have more away games left now, than home, and their form has been at home, and with Chelsea not knowing what side or tactic will be employed, I think top 4 is wide open still.

BBC News - Danny Rose on racism: Tottenham defender 'can't wait to see the back of football'

Not sure comparing the fines to how much he spends on a night out is going to help his argument.

BBC News - Danny Rose on racism: Tottenham defender 'can't wait to see the back of football'.

It's very sad to read this kind of thing. You know it goes on but I can't imagine what it must be like to endure it for years without things ever really improving. I guess the money does make it difficult to just walk away from the game. Something new needs to be tried to get into some 'supporters' thick skulls that racism is never acceptable.

 

[seagull]

Well, we have virtually sold out our allocation for tomorrow, including 1500 extra seats released by Wembley.

It looks like City haven't...

Nice gesture by Sterling though. He has definitely gone up in my estimation recently.
