You have to feel for Villa. They've been in terminal decline for years whilst comparitively smaller clubs running on smaller budgets have passed them by on the roadside. How many teams will have been PL-permanents once they're down? Just the 5?
Really soft penalty that; looks like Depay attends the Ashley Young School of Diving Excellence. Not that bothered to be honest, the result won't do anything to boost their morale after a shocking performance and it means that their fixture list remains clogged heading out of the transfer window.
Stoke striker Marko Arnautovic, 26, wants a weekly wage of more than £100,000 if he is to extend his contract, which expires at the end of next season. The Potters have a wage ceiling of £70,000 a week. (Observer) I don't know anything about this player, but is he one who can reasonably command that kind of wage?
I see that Bale has bagged his first hat-trick for Zidane. Yep, that's him out the door and heading to United!
OR! Our squad and manager are retained Spurs become champions next season new stadium opens on time and Bale returns in triumph to his old club. j
Chelsea back to their standard FA Cup result and they even got a dodgy penalty call in their favour. Looks like all of the ****bags that couldn't be bothered to play for Mourinho are turning up again, now. Ominous signs for the rest of the campaign.
Chelsea playing pretty much their first-choice starting xi against Scunthorpe doesn't say much for their squad depth, does it?
They need results. More clubs should look at that and learn from it, in my opinion. Something tells me that Swansea losing to Oxford and Villa failing to win another game isn't going to do them much good. Getting wins against lower division sides would've been far, far better than a couple of days of rest, in my opinion.
I see Liverpool have signed Caulker on loan. Not sure that's a wise move. Shame the way his career has gone.
