ASM so fucking unprofessional. Please sell the fucker.

Not sure Everton are getting what they deserve but Chelsea certainly are. Sweet fuck all.

Looking back at the videos I'm surprised Tielemans didn't take Willock out when he went past him. Glad he didn't but he would have just got a yellow and Leicester a point.

Better get on with it here, as Leicester are about to take the reserves off and get at us.

It's the height of conceit or just stupidity for Pep to have picked this side, hope Liverpool absolutely batter them.

Pep sent them out to lose with the team he selected, and losing they are. Tit.

I must be the only one that thought Merino was slow, weak and terrible when he didn't have the ball.

It is all just so slow from both teams and for a neutral boring as well. If Wolves wake up and go for it they'll nick it 1-0.

Joe Linton is just not involved in the game enough to play where he's playing, as a last resort I'd play him more central where Shelvey stands about, or as a CH or just sell him for glue.

This is absolutely where we are and should be reiterated in every thread. We have potentially two players good enough to get us into the top half of the table, Trippier who will need replacing in a season or two and hopefully Bruno. The rest including the three other signings we made in January are not fit for purpose and will not help us get into the top half of the table or not without a healthy dose of luck and a more astute manager.

Joe hasn't looked good for a few games now and surprise surprise he maybe isn't the answer to our midfield problems. Problem is where else can we play him? Maybe CH he's big enough and ours are crap.

We should really try picking our best player rather than leave him on the bench because he got on a plane.

Newcastle, West Ham and Southampton have all discussed signing West Brom's Sam Johnstone and now Tottenham are back in the hunt for the England goalkeeper, 29.

We can't be signing people called Yeremy. What's next, watching hot chicks in The Witcher called Yennefer?

Werner is a player that makes lots of goal scoring opportunities with his pace but is a very poor finisher. There was an article in the press either just before he signed for Chelsea or just after explaining why, something to do with his technique I remember. Since he signed for Chelsea he's gone backwards. At the moment we are not a team that has many chances and watching him miss the few we do have would not make for pleasant watching.

Manchester United, Liverpool and Newcastle are interested in signing Portugal midfielder Otavio, 27, from Porto this summer. (A Bola - in Portuguese) Newcastle United are targeting Watford winger Ismaila Sarr, 24, with Liverpool also watching the Senegal international. (The Sun)

It's on ESPN 2 but I'm in the Caribbean so it might be different in the States.

If we sign Pogba I'm going to support another team, any other team actually, even a bloody Russian one.

"There is only so much you can keep trying to butter someone up to give them confidence," manager Lampard said. "We are playing at the cut-throat end of football here. This is a cup quarter-final to get to Wembley and if you haven't got the confidence to play, you can quickly flip it and say have you got the bollocks to play? "Sorry, excuse me, but that is the football reality. If you fall somewhere in the middle then don't worry about it." First-half goals from Marc Guehi and Jean-Philippe Mateta put Palace in full control, before Wilfried Zaha and Will Hughes secured the win. "We didn't play that badly today and Palace didn't play that well and we lost 4-0 because of a lack of confidence and a lack of what I just said," Lampard added. "It wasn't tactics. Tactics showed in the first 20 minutes Palace couldn't get out of their half."
