Chatter from the sidelines

Juventus growing increasingly confident of keeping Chelsea's Juan Cuadrado on a permanent basis At Turin, he's a regular starter and Juventus are having a better time than Chelsea

Liverpool news and transfer rumours: Reds considering Jamie Vardy swoop and Klopp plans Balotelli talks Vardy is in demand. He's been linked to Spurs and LFC. The way how the money is in the PL right now, with each team flush with the cash, I can't see Leicester selling, because they don't have to sell, trust. Besides, if Leicester keep to form they might be doing Europe next season

Sky reports that Mourinho tried to make his way into the referee's room at the break, which is off-limits, and was ejected. More to follow The state of him!

Ancelotti: 'Roma and PSG triumph' makes a bet as to who will win what

Man United's Luke Shaw denies he is one of two Premier League players planning to reveal they are gay To be honest with you, I think they just floated the news to see what reaction they'd get before the players decide to pull the trigger as it were.

Angel di Maria's poor form at PSG under scrutiny as Real Madrid top La Liga and Barcelona hope Luis Suarez and Neymar continue to deliver the goals Di Maria still floundering form wise, in a different country and a different league

Pictures
Bundesliga
Bayern Munich 4- 0 FC Köln

Bayern Munich got their 1000th Bundesliga victory!

Looking through the pictures and all I can see is Köln being scored on and the goal scorers. No midfield or defensive battles. Why, FC Köln, why?

La Liga
Celta Vigo 1- 3 Real Madrid

Yeah, Real Madrid's express goes on. A question, is James still out injured?

“I read the part of a scientist who has to examine an alien. I found myself at ease. I imagined I had Cristiano in front of me.” – Carlo Ancelotti, who landed a cameo in the upcoming Star Trek movie

Keylor Navas put down some great saves, from what I gathered

I just love everything about this picture

Malaga 2 - 0Deportivo

Highlights of match

Premier League
West Ham 2- 1 Chelsea

I would feel sorry for Mourinho, but then I remember that he's in line for a £37 million payoff if he gets sacked. I have to be eating beans for the next month to save for a pair of boots I need. No mercy

Andy Carroll scoring against you, SMH. But West Ham have been giant killers this season so far

Chelsea got a man sent off, then one of Mourinho's personnel removed from the dig out and Mourinho himself in hot water. Oh, Mou.

Arsenal 2- 1 Everton

Forgive me, I didn't really watch this match. I had to rip back six inches of knitting. Gahhh!!!

Giroud is in fine form. Heard that Everton were down ten men and that Tim Howard kinda stunk up the joint

Koscielny beat Howard to the ball!

Leicester 1 - 0 Crystal Palace

Vardy is on fire!

Truth be told, Ranieri is just glad that Leicester ran out with a clean sheet. He promised his players a slap up meal if they kept ONE clean sheet (offered them pizza before but they weren't bothered, obviously). Now they have!

Stoke 0 - 2 Watford

What is going on with Stoke? They did really well last season, and now they seem to flopping like a fish out of water this season. I know that a couple of good players moved on but that can't be it, surely?

Goddamn it

Aston Villa 1- 2 Swansea

Ayew strikes again!

Villa is in the doldrums, tbh. The owner wants to sell the club, a lot of good players left the club- and they have tactics Tim. Oi!

OP: done! I hope this post gets through. It's my second attempt, but LJ has been acting strange. It's either down, or deleting stuff
