James and Isco to be moved on from Real Madrid Don't buy them Manchester United or City! Look to your academies first. €80 and 40 m are too much

Arsenal hit by injury setbacks for Santi Cazorla and Jack Wilshere He better not go to Euro 2016 if his form is touch and go

Disgraced former FIFA president Sepp Blatter launches scathing attack on English football and the FA *kanye shrug*

Premier League breakaway: Are England's big five bosses meeting in secret over European Super League? iirc this concept was floated back in the 1990s then shot down (I think it kick started the process of what Europa came to be now). Trust an American to try and reanimate this idea again. Basically it would be top 5 PL clubs against the top European clubs creating a 'super league'. SUPPOSEDLY the top European clubs (Bayern, Real Madrid, Barca, et al) are pushing this because - money (update: Stoke chairman on talksport says that it's not from the PL clubs, they are GOOD with where they are). Can't see it happening though - UEFA would fight it tooth and nail. Not to mention the other PL clubs (Spurs would turn spoiler) and the FA . But hey, Manchester City, United, LFC Arsenal and Chelsea - their reps had a nice meal at the Dorchester!

Ezequiel Lavezzi: I rejected Chelsea, Manchester United and Inter Milan… I like the money in China! Why not? No shade, I don't think Lavezzi would have suited the PL, so...

AFC Bournemouth 2- 0 Southampton

Afobe scored- I really appreciated their set pieces

Cherries got past the Saints twice. Both the Saints and West Ham want European places- my face when I heard that because they threw away their chances and made our coefficient worse this season

Gradel came back from injury after a six month layoff (lad in the left) and was lively

Austin injured. Again.

Aston Villa 1- 3 Everton

Lukkaku became the highest scoring Everton player ever

Mouri was in fine form

Everton fans sang, "We're effing rich" in the stands. LOL, nouveau riche. That being said, with their problems in terms of stadium, and various issues, the supporters have cause to rejoice

Leicester City 2- 2 West Bromwich Albion

I was looking for a WBA win. SMH. You only had ONE job

Fuch working

LOL, I like sports photography

Norwich City 1- 2 Chelsea

Costa scored

Norwich players collided and one lost some teeth

Norwich got first blood, iirc- but Chelsea have put themselves in the race for European places

Sunderland 2- 2 Crystal Palace

Man, Crystal Palace- they were flying in the first half of the season, and now battling with the likes of Sunderland.

If nothing else, Yedlin is learning how to defend. Word has it that he's open to leaving Tottenham - we will see!

Bundisliga
Hannover 96 0 - 4 Wolfsburg

There was a disturbance that stopped the match for the first ten minutes. Wolfsburg fans throwing flares like it wouldn't take someone's eye out!

OP: done. Cheers, jeers, corrections and the rest of it, you know the drill
