BINSPORTS have been telling their clients that Real v Barcelona is the greatest match on earth.
Silly people.Didn't they know Spurs were playing.......?

I'm trying to work out if that's a typo of beIN SPORTS or a fair summary of [pick whichever of Sky Sports, BT Sport, BBC Sport, Squawka et al you see fit]
Keys and Grey have worked there since they got binned by Sky.
Most of their other presenters have had the boot from someone, too.
Might be due a slight name change, to be fair.

"Deeney: Leicester's gameplan last season was based on hitting sides on the counter-attack."
Thick fishy incoming, Troy !!! <run>

Next weekend's fixtures have thrown up this probability
Leicester vs Man City
Liverpool vs West Scam
Swansea vs Sunderland
Hull vs Palace
Or to put it another way, it's certainly feasible that both Leicester and the Scammers would both be in the relegation zone by this time next week.
The really interesting one is that, if the Scammers lose, any result in the Swansea/Sunderland game will see them drop into the bottom three: a win for either team would put them above the Scammers, while a draw would see Sunderland move ahead of them.

My mess up,Human.beIN SPORTS. I make a lot of mess-ups these days but I can still put me socks on!
Fabregas is not going to be charged for slapping Ferdandinho in the face, then diving over the advertising boards.
Consistent.
Need to sack the panel then, really. It's an obvious, textbook red card.
As was Taylor's foul on Walker, which also isn't being punished, as it wasn't on MOTD. Possibly.

The instigators rarely get punished as much, or at all, as those that retaliate. Not much of an incentive to stop is it? Clearly Fabregas slapped whatsisname, not doing any damage at all (much like Dembele) but still a sly and cowardly move intended to bring a reaction and get greater punishment for the other guy. Should we be surprised that he was ready to make that move so soon after the Aguero incident? We can only conclude that it is in his nature to react that way and/or covered in Chelski training sessions. Anyway, the FA have yet again shown their cowardice to stop these incidents. And do Chelski get extra punishment for failing to control their players again, as they were charged for the same thing fairly recently, or is it like Maureen where it doesn't matter how many offences are committed the punishment doesn't escalate?

Fabregas is something of a serial offender in the 'wind-up' stakes. The reaction he elicited from Fernandinho was clearly excessive in terms of what was visible during the game, so even allowing for the sly slap, he must have done or said something to provoke that reaction.
And then you recall this story from 2011 and remarkably similar circumstances......

As I probably mentioned after our visit to Shamford Bridge last season, The FA's stance reminds me of this time I was at school where a teacher gave me a detention for telling someone to go **** themselves - but did nothing about the kid who ran up and kicked me, which was the reason why I told them to go **** themselves.
With the Dele Alli witch-hunt on, I hope that Spurs don't resemble me at junior school
(where one teacher waged persecution on me and my old lady had to read them the riot act) .
If City had loaned Patrick Roberts to a Premier League club, he wouldn't have played against them
But as City loaned Roberts to Celtic, he scored against them
I'm sure there's a parable in there somewhere...

Traore scored against Monaco in our group.
Have Champions League clubs stopped putting those clauses in their contracts or are they against the rules now?
The latter, I hope.
It must be a restraint of trade?
With major clubs stockpiling players and consequently loaning out so many here, there and everywhere, UEFA risk a farce if clubs are allowed to prevent loanees playing against their parent club.
EUFA have said there rules overide any loan contract terms so in EUFA competitions they will punish any club that even tries to get the clause implemented.
Best known over here was when Courtois was on loan at Ath Madrid & they were drawn against Chelsea in CL semi final
