    Dante wouldn't be much of a help, he's even been benched in Wolfsburg now.

    Thankfully it's not Badstuber's damaged knee, "just" a fractured ankle. Will be interesting to see how Guardiola's gonna play now. I guess Kimmich and Alaba in the middle.

    Dante has been complete crap since Heynckes left, don't know if it's mental. Everyone cringed when had the ball or was in a crucial possession, he'd be no help.

    Regarding Matip: There'll be an announcement on Monday, LFC is the likely destination.

    Had a really good transfer summer and the rest of their talents developed really well. Ranieri is a great coach and built a functional unit.

    "Oh ok Yung-T, so you're just gonna forget about me, the great Nigel Pearson? The special one who brought Leicester back from the relegation zone last season? I think you are an ostrich. Your head must be in the sand. Is your head in the sand?"

    Tbh, I have no clue bro... but nobody really takes this award seriously. I have no clue what the basis for picking the winner is, there's some sort of voting by LFP but I have no idea what they base on. 5 Ballon D'OR and won player of the month, sounds silly.

    Here's Wiki with all the previous winners.

    Liverpool had a party this weekend.

    This was probably how it felt when the Warriors beat Memphis early November last year.

    Saw this on Reddit, had to share.

    Our Danny, who art a gunner

    Dat Guy be thy name;

    3 points will come,

    The foxes done,

    At Kingpower stadium as it was in the emirates.

    Give us this day our 95th minute winner,

    and forgive us our crap finishing,

    as we forgave those who couldn't finish against Southampton;

    and lead us not into 4th place,

    but deliver us the title.

    [Amen.]

    That would suck for Atleti and LFP but I guess he needs to move onto something better.
    EPL next season:
    Wenger
    Mou
    Pep
    Simeone*
    Klop
    Pellegrini*
    Pochettino

    Not bad, not bad at all.

    PSG-Chelsea was pretty entertaining yesterday. I really enjoyed watching Verratti and Matuidi do their thing in the middle.

    Looking forward to watching Roma-Real later tonight.

    Verratti wasn't fit, should be better next game. Away goal was huge for Chelsea, I think they might actually go through here.

    ManU losing 2:1 vs Midtyjlland, van Gaal will be history soon.

    ManU cannot handle the talent... would be interesting what Mourinho does with them.
