Man City v Chelsea (12.30 Sky)

Tottenham v Swansea
West Brom v Watford
West Ham v Arsenal (5.30 BT)
Sunday
Bournemouth v Liverpool (1.30 Sky)

City v Chelsea is the stand out this week but Sunday looks pretty good, Also tomorrow is El Clasico between Barcelona and Real Madrid at 5.30pm on Sky, all PL teams will wear black armbands out of respect for the victims of the Chapecoense plane crash.
Another big revelation in the abuse scandal today, which is former Chelsea player Gary Johnson saying he was abused at the hands of their then chief scout Eddie Heath (who is now dead) in the 70's, he also claims Chelsea gave him 50k to keep quiet about it last year, the club say they are investigating, this comes as 17 police forces are now investigating abuse claims and the NSPCC helpline has received 860 calls since it opened last week.

Celtic losing 2-0 at Half time.
...bring it back to 2-2 in the 71st minute, Motherwell make it 3-2 in the 72nd minute, Celtic make it 3-3 in the 73rd minute.
...then a winner in the 91st minute by Mr Tam Rogic.
Best game of football I've watched in 2016.

The Clasico will be on Sky from 5.15pm in the UK, so it will be either a 5.15, 5.30, 5.45 or a 6pm kick off our time.
Also Chelsea beat City 1-3, goals from Costa, Willian and Hazard with Cahill with an own goal, City had Aguero sent off for a very bad challenge on Luiz in the dying minutes and Fernando sent off in the subsquent pushing and shoving when he pushed Fabregas into the crowd (no that actually happened!) City really lost their heads at the end.
Edit, scrap that about the Clasico Kickoff times, it is actually on now!, it must be highlights later....

So Swansea had a good win against Palace last week and i hoped that it would kick start our season, but now we are getting a hammering from Spurs 3-0 and the second half has only just started! 
0-0 in the Clasico at half time..

Preston North End had two players sent off in injury time, after some bizarre incident between the two of them...
We'd earlier had our goalscorer Forestieri sent off (for being a bell end, again), made two substitutions due to injury, gone 2-0 up after a penalty, been pegged back to 2-1 while down to nine men due to injury and made another injury-prompted substitution - and one of the two players sent of for Preston was THEIR goalscorer...

I'm guessing that the reason for the confusion about the kick-off time is that no UK broadcaster is legally allowed to show a live football match between 3 and 5 pm, hence why Sky always have games at lunchtime or after 5 pm on Saturday, and all day Sunday etc. That also explains why pubs that show live games on a Saturday afternoon show the games on some dodgy European or Middle Eastern satellite channel...

In other El Clasico-related news, it would appear that several Real Madrid players including Cristiano Ronaldo are being implicated in a tax evasion scheme after a Wikileaks-style leak of documents...

Rumour has it that Ronaldo used shell companies in the British Virgin Islands to hide money from the tax authorities which ended up in his Swiss bank account. The leaks implied that many other clients of Jorge Mendes had used the same scheme.

That's always irritated me. Why can some guy in the middle east watch every Man Utd game on TV but me sat here in the same country not being able to. I get the whole trying to get people to go to the games but I'm not made of money so I'd rather spend 50 on all the premier league games for a month rather than that plus a lot more to see Man Utd for just one of them games in the month.

I knew we were doomed as soon as I was told we were 2 nil up at half time. We always do better if I don't know the result until the end.
Broonie looks like he's about to lamp someone.Celtic losing 2-0 at Half time.

Arsenal win 5-1.
Love the man! 3 great goals and an assist and his work-rates are just immense. Also, happy for Gabriel to get back into the team again but playing as a right back.
Time for Juve Vs. Atalanta now. 5 points are what separates both teams and Roma is hot on the heels of Juve.

So many red cards in the Championship this weekend. One for QPR first of all on Thursday, then one for Birmingham, one for Brighton, two for Newcastle, three at Hillsborough (one for us, two for Preston)...
Eight in twelve games! The Red Weekend?
