When the club stops winning trophies the billionaires sell their shiny toy to someone else

Milan have not won Serie A since 2011 and finished seventh, 10th and eighth in the last three seasons.

Chinese investors Rossoneri Sport Investment Lux have completed the £628m (740m euro) takeover of AC Milan, promising "significant capital increases".

After thrashing Luton 2-2 at Kenilworth Road today, anything other than a loss is a morale victory, D Day on Monday at Brisbane Road with the visit of Hartlepool. Too avoid the dreaded falling off the coupon the O's need to win all four remaining games and hope that Hartlepool and Cheltenham fail to gain another point, anything other than a win on Monday and its bye bye.

I just bought my ticket to see Tottenham vs. Manchester City in Nashville, TN at the Tennessee Titans Stadium on Saturday July 29th. That's just a little over an hour away from me.

I had no clue this match was taking place until I saw The Men In Blazers show and they were interviewing former Spurs player Ledley King and they were saying that Spurs were coming to the US for 3 matches and Nashville was one of them.

I can't wait to see the game. It will be my first ever football match even if it is only an exhibition. That time of year it could still be in the mid 90's Fahrenheit with probably high 80's or low 90's humidity.

I'm going to see 2 top level English Premier League football teams

Watching Tottenham/Bournemouth now. I wonder what Spurs will do to ekevatte themselves to become champions? They appear to have elevated themselves where they can can challenge for the league for a number of years. But they not yet crossed that line.

The goalkeeper commits to running up the pitch to join his team mates and leaves the goal gaping. Liverpool steal the ball and shoot at the open goal from distance but it's WIDE!! and then he does it again, we steal the ball again who gets the ball to try and score in the empty net...Alberto Moreno! who has just come on as substitute. How on earth did we miss TWICE?? Should have won at least two goals more with Milner blazing over from a fabulous cross and Firmino in the first half put the ball wide of the right-hand post. Anyway West Brom v Liverpool was not a straightforward game, never is, and it is hard to break them down but Liverpool were victorious in the end and got a hard fought 3 points to keep their dream of Champions League football a little closer.

I was mainly watching the WEC race from Silverstone this morning but I was checking in every now and then on the Liverpool game. I turned it back on right when WBA's goalie came forward and saw Moreno's break and I keep saying, "don't shoot from there pass it!!" but I guess he got wide eyed from lack of experience and tried it anyway. But a win is a win.

I was surprised when the lineups were announced and Mourinho left Ibrahimovic on the bench today for a very big game. But having Herrera shadow Hazard really paid off. Chelsea looked very inept. I don't think they registered a shot on goal today.
