Costa taking it off Oscar's boot from 2 yards out. At least they both had a laugh about it.

Probably won't be as funny if they lose

 

[King_Moc]

Damn, he has a terrible attitude but he'll definitely bail you out of your relegation fight.

MK Dons equalise with a massive deflected goal. 1-1 against Chelsea.

I don't know who i hate more. Chealsea, or Franchise FC.

McDons play Chelsea Dagger over the PA when they score, it's fucking horrid.

lol I can't imagine we'll be hearing it again today with the way they're playing right now, they can barely get the ball never mind a shot on Chelsea's goal.

2-1 to Chelsea.

Now 3-1 to Chelsea, Oscar hat trick.

 

[Lunar FC]

Seeing a shot attempt that ends up going out on the sideline has always been one of my great joys in life.

 

[Phantast2k]

14 points & +28 goals away from 5th (EL) spot.
Feels good.
No new signings after all.
Feels bad.

 

[sora87]

MK Dons stadium is pretty nice, better than a lot of premier league clubs

 

[Moobabe]

So Chelsea are set to sell Remy and got washed out striker no 2425 (Pato) and some guy from MLS (lol)

And we missed out Charlie Austin who is a boyhood Chelsea fan for 4m.

Piss poor business is an understatement. Emenalo needs to be fired.

I don't see Pato as a risk at all. 30k a week, on loan and is a guy desperate to prove himself in Europe once more.

The guy from MLS could well prove to be a great signing - Landon Donovon did pretty well for Everton when he came over.

A good performance today. We moved the ball quickly, created chances and, unsurprisingly, playing a left footed player at left back means we can make the pitch bigger.

Happy for the lad s who came in as well - Loftus Cheek was quiet but accomplished, delighted to see Traore get his first goal for us. Most impressed by Rahman though - I don't know the stats - but he was bombing forward, was precise with his passing and I'm not sure I saw him lose a challenge defensively either.

Would like to see both him and RLC start against Watford - but would be happy if one did.

Jordan Rhodes' proposed move is off because he apparently wanted around £20m over a 4 year contract.

Absolutely mental.

I will genuinely be delighted when football's bubble eventually bursts.

Yep - why not take a little bit less money and try to prove yourself? What a twat

[Ape Gone Insane]

Expecting Madrid to score a lot of goals tonight. Espanyol are not called 'Real Madrid B' for nothing.

Bursts how?

It's funded by milions of fans worldwide. It didn't get hit by the global recession, it kept growing. People pay to watch football on TV. More teams are getting big stadiums, and the season ticket waiting lists are getting longer as well. People would hate it, but for Arsenal and Tottenham, ticket prices could be even higher and they'd still sell every ticket every single match day.

The bubble only bursts when a club falls out of that lucrative European club, or the top tier as a whole. For many of these clubs, that may never happen (though Man Utd will be a good test of whether a club truly can be 'too big to fail').

 

[norinrad]

Newcastle have made an official bid of £21m for Berahino. Gonna be an interesting day or so.

Another meltdown like last summer incoming lol

 

[Moobabe]

JT to leave Chelsea in the summer - his contract won't be renewed.

 

[Cormano]

Expecting Madrid to score a lot of goals tonight. Espanyol are not called 'Real Madrid B' for nothing.

What a goal by Cristiano.

 

[Ape Gone Insane]

What a goal by Cristiano.

Oooooft, that second move.

Yea that was really good.

 

[ambar_hitman]

After a dominating win, bad news after bad news.

JT to leave and we get City in FA cup. FFS

 

[brokenbeans]

It really does not feel like deadline day lol

Wilfried Zaha showing class both on and off the field during the weekend.

 

[bjaelke]

It really does not feel like deadline day lol

I was hoping we'd sign/loan another player to help us get through the congested schedule ahead of us. Still a lot of injuries in the squad (8).

 

[Don Draper's Hat]

Isn't that bloke a bit old to be hanging around waiting for autographs?

 

[CecilRousso]

Isn't that bloke a bit old to be hanging around waiting for autographs?

In England? No.

 

[norinrad]

Slow news day.

 

[Moobabe]

The perfect crime.

 

[Carbonox]

Wonder why Newcastle haven't finished the Doumbia deal yet. Is it because their medical team's discovered he's really 60 years old?

[Eddie_Khaled]

oh shit...... when was footie GAF reinstated back in gaf ?
missed you lads <3

 

[bjaelke]

Slow news day.

Pep confirmed to become the next City manager.

 

[dc89]

I hope we give Pellegrini the head coach role at our South American club (that we have not acquired yet).

 

[raven777]

Well, congratulations to Man City.

 

[Carbonox]

Who takes over at Man Utd?

Who takes over at Chelsea?

Robert Di Matteo
Jose Mourinho
Pepe Mel

Bets please.

 

[nitewulf]

Pep really doesn't want to take risks eh?

 

[Error]

Pep to City

 

[bjaelke]

 

[MrPing1000]

The soulless husk of a club gets a new injection of vitality, for the next few years.

 

[Deaf Spacker]

Can't say I'm surprised, he seems very risk averse.

 

[Sloosha]

Who takes over at Man Utd?

Who takes over at Chelsea?

Robert Di Matteo

Bets please.

Conte
Simeone
Sampaoli

Pellegrini

Doumbia confirmed!

 

[Carbonox]

Fastest old man on the planet is signed.

 

[dc89]

4 years in the making

 

[RiggyRob]

Imagine being a club that sacks its manager a year after winning the title and could quite conceivably win it the season he's sacked as well.

That must be some payoff Pellegrini's getting.

 

[D4Danger]

I wonder if he'll bring anyone with him. I could see them putting in some crazy bid for Muller.

 

[norinrad]

Pep to City

Good, let's see if he's up for a club where the foundation wasn't laid by LvG.

 

[Lashley]

I'm shocked that Pep has chosen a team that would be a challenge

Oh wait

 

[Carbonox]

I wonder if he'll bring anyone with him. I could see them putting in some crazy bid for Muller.

I reckon Alaba would be his number one target.

 

[DKehoe]

I reckon Alaba would be his number one target.

I was just going to say this too. He seems to be a big fan of Alaba and he's still young.

 

[Godan]

Seems like city are going to go ham on that CL now. Can see them spending big in the summer too.

 

[Milchmonster]

Oh come on, Bayern isn't gonna sell Alaba or Müller.

Only one I could see Bayern selling would be Thiago considering he's injured all the time, anyway.

 

[bjaelke]

Probably one of their countless midfielders as a Yaya replacement.

 

[GoldenCrow]

Must have just got the Pellegrini negotiations done, that has to be something big. Sounds like that will also include Alaba if the reports about him were true a few days ago. I kind of hope City meet Bayern in CL now and that Bayern lose, the press would go crazy.
