They're actually 1st with a single point difference and decide the title today, unless Inter draw and Napoli lose, then they'll have a final match between them to decide who wins Serie A. Hoping they manage to hold on and Billy/Conte gets their title, unfortunately the prick Lukaku is there as well.

Lukaku has just put Napoli 2-0 up against Cagliarl.

As it stands Billy Gilmour, Romelu Lukaku, and Antonio Conte will be Serie A champions.

(Also Philip Billing and Scott McTominay)

Bring Billy back!

I'm not a big A-League fan, but it's pretty cool to have a former Chelsea player playing for one of my local clubs.

Eden Hazard inducted into Premier League Hall of Fame

Arguably the most naturally gifted footballer the Prem has ever had. The notorious stories of him being the worst trainer yet getting MoTM almost every Matchday.

His talent was so immense that despite this, he was first name on the teamsheet under two of the most notoriously harsh trainers (Conte and Mourinho). Doubt either coach made an exception before or since.

Don't agree with anyone who says he 'wasted' his talent, I think the club failed him more than anything.

In terms of talent and natural skill & ability, undoubtedly the best player I have ever seen in a Chelsea shirt.

Even now, it's great to watch compilation clips of Hazard, dribbling past opponents and putting them on their arse. And he did it his way and on his terms. Some players are that dedicated that they squeeze every ounce out of themselves (the likes of Ronaldo and lamps - stories of first in training and last out). But Hazard just enjoyed playing and entertaining and was THAT good that he didn't feel the need to put in the extra effort on the training ground.

Wish we still had a prime Hazard. No better sight on a football pitch and we were so lucky to have him.

I dont think he wasted his talent, he got out of the game what he wanted and was an absolute joy to watch, at times he was one of the best player in the world, alongside Messi and Ronaldo, and not many can say that.

But I do get a bit annoyed that he could really have been even better if he had fully applied himself. I know hundreds of good players who absolutely battered themselves to be the best version of themselves they could be, if they had a 10th of the talent Hazard had they would have been top level pro`s.

This is pure speculation but I feel that Hazard's lackadaiscal mentality is part of what made him great. If he possessed that discipline or was willing to defer to managers with a specific idea, it would have negated his absolute conviction that he was on the pitch to have fun and to take risks.

Former Chelsea midfielder Oscar has been hospitalised after suffering a heart problem during pre-season training in Brazil, with fears growing that he could be forced to retire from the game.

The 34-year-old, who played for Chelsea between 2012 and 2017, was rushed to hospital after falling ill on Tuesday while training with São Paulo. The club said he “presented an incident with cardiological changes”.

Brazilian outlet Globo reported on Tuesday that Oscar is being treated in the intensive care unit at the Einstein Hospital Israelita in São Paulo. Globo reported that Oscar was doing interval tests on an exercise bike when he was taken ill, and that he was unconscious for around two minutes.
