What does everyone think about Remi Garde's departure from Villa? Hopefully his leaving doesn't have a negative effect for us this weekend. It shouldn't - Villa's players are all either really crap or really not interested.

Hahahaha that is so ridiculous!

Oh please please please! Rodgers + Newcastle would be a perfectly hilarious match

My ideal fantasy would be if Leicester won the title, Spurs came second, Man Utd picked up enough form to overtake Arsenal and City, who would finish fourth and fifth respectively. Wenger keeps his job (better for everyone except Arsenal fans), and Pep arrives to play in Europa League!

Just heard the Liverpool fans, I had assumed they'd all gone home.

Anyone else think Sterling's facial hair looks really silly?

Mignolet deserves a new contract, give him another 10 years I say!!

Good on Gary, hopefully he's turned a corner and can keep this momentum going for a while.

Looks like my wanting to see the best in people has backfired again. Now that we know more of the facts I can categorically say that Adam Johnson is a sick individual who deserves more than the probable two or so years he'll get. Moving on, I really can't wait to see Leicester beat those gooners!!!

I completely agree that he deserves punishment, and I hope the court don't go easy on him because of who he is. However let's not get carried away and lump him into the same sort of group as Jimmy Saville and the like. He's not a pedophile, he didn't force a young kid into anything. The girl was just a few months from legal age of consent. Perspective.

Please excuse me reminiscing a bit here; A few years ago, when I was a single 22 year-old out on the town with my mates, I met a girl in a pub and we hit it off really well. Our groups joined together and we spent the night doing a bit of a pub crawl. I got her number and we met up again a few nights later. At the end of the night we were going to catch a taxi back to mine when we bumped into an old school friend of mine who knew the girl and thankfully informed me that the girl was actually 14. I had no idea and it had never even occured to me that I had to ask - she looked and acted about 19 I'd say. I was going to use this as an example that not everything is black and white and we shouldn't judge until we know more of the details... But seeing as how Johnson has effectively admitted to knowing she was underage, its his own stupid fault and he deserves to face the consequences!

Just saw the Valencia-Barcelona second-leg result from tonight, 1-1. Sure beats the 7-0 loss in the first leg!

Come on Spud, almost there! :)

Can you imagine how amazing it would be if Arsenal finished 4th and we won the champions league? That really would be a dream come true!!!

Only been watching the last ten minutes of the match but already annoying me how much of a hard-on the commentators are getting over Martial. Really don't see what all the fuss is about. He's pacey but his ball control is inconsistent, his decision-making is terrible and I've yet to be convinced by his finishing. Okay he's young so has time to improve, but at present I don't see much difference between him (apparently valued at £45m or so) and loads of other english youngsters I see playing in the Championship. Is it just me?
