Just seen that on Twitter. Reminded me of an effort Dybala had yesterday in fact. 

Anyone listening to merson trying to say milner didn't deserve 2 yellows last week? Unbelievable.

would be funny if guardiola joins us with no CL football next year hehe

City have well underachieved in the league with that squad and spending loads of money.

No.  It really wouldn't.

City aren't much better than us.

City 9 points off the title now, they had to win today, plus they're still in Europe.

Spuds and Arse will be out of Europe next week so they could be fresher for the run in.

It's all on Leicester to deny them now.

I think it's looking more and more like Leicestershire title

How f**king amazing would that be?

Shake up the big teams that's for sure.

Do teams get a lot of prize money for winning the title? Or do you just get more off TV rights because you were on the tellie more often? Anyone know how it works?

50% shared equally and then £1.23million for each league position i.e. 20th gets £1.23m, 19th gets £2.46m etc.  Then £875,000 each time you're televised.  So Leicester estimated £90.9m this year (if they win the league) compared to £71.6m last.  We got record £99m last season.

leicesters next game is newcastle, whats the odds that benitez robs them of points

Noooo!  Hope FSW loses all his games and takes them down.

This was my fear when they sacked McClaren. Whoever it is, the new manager often gets a reaction from his players and they put a shift in for him.

Can see Newcastle getting something from that game.

i must be missing something because i think he is a good coach, won us a trophy and got us in the CL whilst everybody hated him, except the players who must of thought he was al right as they performed half decent under him. He is one of the few coaches to give mourinho a hard time as well. I think newcastle have had a right result, gone from one of the worst coaches ever to a proven one.

 

What he did with us that season was the bare minimum. We were title challengers before he arrived, then we ended with a scrap for the top 4 because of his tactics, team selections and weird substitutions. The Europa League win was great, but if we hadn't won it it would have been embarrassing, the level of opposition we faced wasn't anything special. His subs and team selection cost us a chance of playing in a League Cup final and his awful tactics cost us the Club World Championship. We must have thrown away so many wins because of him, he has this weird habit of bringing on a RB for RB when we were going for the win, what the hell is that about ?

 

He also dropped Terry and tried to end his career early by saying he could no longer play more than a game a week, which was a bullsh*t lie. He also failed to apologise for what he said about the club in his Liverpool days.

 

I was glad to see the back of him.

It was the Suarez bite that did it for me, in his post match interview instead of mentioning how one of their players had committed assault and then stayed onto score 2 minutes after injury time was up with the ball going out of play, he kept praising the Liverpool fans reaction. Any committed manager would have led with that let alone Mourinho who would have probably run him over with the team bus outside the stadium.

Exactly!  He was bloody awful.  I remember I kept going on BBC Sport to see if he'd gone.  I hated, hated having him here.

van der Sar is apparently coming out of retirement for one game (albeit in the Dutch fourth division):

Apparently the game finished 1-1 and van der Sar saved a penalty:

Karanka has apprently told his players at Boro he didnt want to manage them anymore and has been sacked.

2nd place Boro lose their manager and 5th place Derby had already fired theirs. Seems strange

Anyone know what Channel Manchester United - West Ham is on?

This club is summed up by the fact that Nathan Ake is starting today for Watford at left back while we throw a twenty year old Brazilian winger in there while our £20 million proper left back sits on the bench

Good for Ake which is good for us.

How in the blue hell has Gabriel not been sent off??
