Just cannot understand how the hell the Aspina foul on Oscar was not a penalty?????? Did Oliver (Twisted) feel that he would wait and see if there was an advantage to play on??
Did he think Oscar dived?????
As DID NOT Fabregas!!!!
Think Chelski were hard done by!!!

BUT I doubt if they care!!!!

Another bad weekend all round for refs. Joe Hart on Benteke, QPR having a perfectly good goal chalked off, you only have to look at a keeper these days to get a booking.
Probably more that I have missed as well.

As for David Cameron confusing us with those claret and blue imposters

what a plank, thankfully he is only Prime minister and not the Chancellor.

A huge turn around from their early/mid season form juggling competitions
which saw them sitting as low as 14th

Given the form Man U have been in winning any which way 3-0 is a huge win

65% possession to Man U for nothing speaks volumes about how well Everton played

Just the result LVG will use to push for better depth in the overall squad
Its a blessing in disguise in that context

Dont want to get deluded into thinking you have the right players
like Arsenal do every season they finish top 4.

As regards Johnson and Sunderland.

Gardening Leave could send out the wrong impression, as could Suspension.

Best that he trains and is involved outside matchdays. So he can contribute toward the team ~ but that it is understood he won't make any matchday squad. That way the club isn't endangering his court case through pre-judgement, and he can have some other focus, beyond his court case 24/7.

Decide when all is said and delivered.

According to the Express this morning, the scousers have spend £770,340,000 on 190 players since they last won the league. I am astonished that they know exactly how much as most clubs these days do not disclose the fees.

I know other clubs have spend more, but they have won the league, but the point I am really making is that it is obscene. It is just a game, gone commercial I accept but a game nevertheless.

Well done Bournemouth, I know they are not technically promoted, but I can't see them loosing 19-0 at the weekend.

Congrats also to Chels youth, but I wonder how many of this team will get into the first team squad regularly.

Congratulations to Barnet on returning to the football League and winning a third Conference title.

Not a good news day on the football front, former Peterborough, Player, Manager and even owner Chris Turner has died.

Gregory Mertens of Sporting Lokeren collapsed with a heart related illness in the first half of a reserve game and apparently needs a miracle to survive, lets hope it happens.

How nice to see Rotherham thrash Reading 2-1 and secure Championship status next season after being cruelly deducted three points.

Hopefully Jamie Carragher's comments on Liverpool next season were said with tongue firmly planted in his cheek, otherwise he is looking a tad stupid.

Uneducated guess

1.They should merge with Everton to be a real threat?

He made comments about how good Evertons mid-field were against Man U

2. their trying to miss out on Europe altogether so they can
have another easier crack at the EPL title

Seems those 2 defeats to Arsenal & Man U and the FA semi exit have sent Liverpool
into rudderless hibernation mode

If their not careful they'll finish 7th given Spurs & Southampton are a point behind them

Number 2 it is - tongue in cheek

The former Reds defender tweeted:

"No Europe = Title challenge next season that must be the plan!!
