[andrea]

Night isn’t complete until you see Real Madrid kids snot crying in the stands. Time to enjoy this win and relax until Saturdayyyy.

 

[jake2013guy]

Went to St Mary's and saw 2 goals in a simple win. Fulham are dreadful.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Tonight's full times.

Arsenal 5-1 Bournemouth
Chelsea 2-0 Tottenham
Crystal Palace 1-3 Man United
Liverpool 5-0 Watford
Man City 1-0 West Ham
Southampton 2-0 Fulham

Easy wins for Arsenal and Liverpool. City not at their fluent best but a win anyway, a nice away win for United despite all the injuries. Kepa decided to give himself a rest and he gave Caballero a go instead, Spurs were poor and there was a comical own goal from Trippier, Fulham lost a must win match and are now 10 points from safety.

 

[yas]

That finish from Trippier though, ooph.

 

[Famine]

10pt from safety, and now the tinkerman has left:



Dilly ding dilly doh.

Football is full of these weird coincidences, but...

Ranieri replaced Slavisa Jokanovic as Fulham manager. Jokanovic was Ranieri's first signing when he was Chelsea's manager.
Scott Parker now replaces Ranieri as Fulham manager. Parker was Ranieri's last signing when he was Chelsea's manager.

... and Fulham's next game is against Chelsea.

Full times.

Tottenham 1-1 Arsenal
Brighton 1-0 Huddersfield
Bournemouth 0-1 Man city
Burnley 1-3 Crystal Palace
Man United 3-2 Southampton
Wolves 2-0 Cardiff

North London Derby didn't disappoint. Spurs sloppy in the first half, Ramsey got the first goal and then a Kane penalty which shouldn't have been given as there were five Spurs players offside, Aubameyang had a penalty saved and then Torreira got sent off late on.

Jesus United made it hard today! Crap in the first half in which Valery put the saints 0-1 up, much better in the second half. Pereira and Lukaku made it 2-1 before Ward-Prowse levelled it 2-2, Lukaku got the winner in the 89th minute but that wasn't the end of it as Pogba had a penalty saved.

[MUSC4EVER]

Todays full times.

Watford 2-1 Leicester
Fulham 1-2 Chelsea
Everton 0-0 Liverpool

Watford winner came in the 92nd minute on Rodgers first game as Leicester boss, Chelsea had a little bit too much for Fulham but Kepa, who was back in the side, did make some good saves. Liverpool had the best chances to win it but it ended goalless.

City now one point clear of Liverpool at the top.

Pochettino handed a two game touchline ban for confrontation with referee Mike Dean.

[MUSC4EVER]

Pochettino said he was in shock over the ban and hasn't had an explanation from the FA.

There's a chance that Sergio Ramos played his last game for Real already.

After Real - Ajax the chairman Florentino Pérez went into the changing room to give the players a verbal ass whooping for being humiliated by Ajax. Ramos didn't like that and ran his mouth, and then Perez told Ramos that he could go, and Ramos said Pay me and I'm gone.

I wish Sergio Ramos all the very best for his future career and hope he enjoys all the success in the world.

Said nobody ever.

 

[Dennisch]

I hope he goes to PSG, not winning prizes with the crying actor.

 

[Jimlaad43]

Or ship him off to China so we never have to see him again.

Reports in Italy saying that Marcelo has agreed to Juventus in the Summer.

Reports in Italy saying that Marcelo has agreed to Juventus in the Summer.

This seems true, I've been reading it for over a week now.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Premier League confirm that it is investigating Man City over alleged breaches of FFP.

This comes after UEFA said yesterday that they have launched their own investigation into the club regarding FFP regulations.

FIFA have refused to suspend Chelsea's transfer ban whilst their appeal is being heard, Chelsea say they are being treated unfairly.

Simeone has been fined 20k Euros for his cojones gesture during the game against Juventus.

With his new contract, that's about 4,5 hours of unpaid work.
How will he survive that onslaught on his wallet?

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Tottenham have finally announced plans to move into their new stadium, the opponents will either be Crystal Palace on Wednesday 3rd April or Brighton on the 6/7th, it depends on the FA Cup and whether or not they will get their safety certificate by then.

The certificate is dependent on the two test events at the stadium which they also announced, the first being an Under 18s game in two weeks and then a Legends game a week after.

Spurs want to play their CL quarter final home leg at the stadium and UEFA paid the stadium a visit on Thursday, during which it was decked out in Champions League branding the theme music was played.

This looks like fun. Honeyman and Tyson had both already been subbed off.

 

[PzR Slim]

Shocking standard of officiating at the Newcastle v Everton game today.

Incredible comeback from the Mags. Was bouncing in the Gallowgate when we scored the winner!

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Results from today.

Crystal Palace 1-2 Brighton
Cardiff 2-0 West Ham
Huddersfield 0-2 Bournemouth
Leicester 3-1 Fulham
Newcastle 3-2 Everton
Southampton 2-1 Tottenham
Man City 3-1 Watford

Magnificent comebacks from Newcastle and Southampton, coming back from 2-0 and 1-0 respectively, Tottenham's bad run of form continues.

West Brom have sacked Darren Moore.

Simeone is also rumored to be on the shortlist for the next Juventus manager position. Obviously his gesture didn't help his chances...

Everyone is linked to that job, I wouldn't read into it.
