Leicester firing Cooper: knee-jerk reaction? And who do you see getting - or even wanting the job?

Maybe a bit. But he's ex-Forest so was always going to be difficult for him.

Graham Potter should be a good shout.

Liverpool win on Sunday and the title is done already BTW.

[Trollheart]

Potter eh? Not a bad shout. Bet you're delighted Man City are crumbling! You think the new guy will make United into the team they once were, or are their glory days gone?

José Mourinho has delivered a withering response to Pep Guardiola after the Manchester City manager noted that he had won twice as many Premier League titles as his long-time rival.

On Friday Mourinho said: "I want to win, but I want to win cleanly and fairly. If I can't win cleanly, I'd rather lose. Guardiola told me something like this. He won six trophies and I won three, but I won fairly and cleanly. If I lost, I want to congratulate my opponent for being better than me. I don't want to win by dealing with 150 cases."

People are starting to fire shots at them openly, now.

Mourinho 😎

I swear to god what does poor Caroline Graham Hansen need to do to be votes best footballer of the year

Mudryk fails doping test.

£90m down the drain.

Not that he was on fire before, but his Chelsea career is over now.

That's outrageous.

[jimmy jazz]

This is our best performance of the season.

Complete control and domination.

2-0 flatters Lance Armstrong FC.

Could easily be 4 or 5 to us.

Grealish stinking up the pitch.

What a time to be alive.

Donyell Malen has agreed personal terms with Villa (according to reports).

I expect this to be done in the next week or two @Trollheart

@Trollheart

Diego Carlos has gone, this guy will be our new centre back to replace him - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lo%C3%AFc_Bad%C3%A9

Was linked with Liverpool as the replacement for Virgil van dijk. He's meant to be a serious player.

Hopefully confirmed before the weekend.

[jimmy jazz]

One of my favourite ever Villa games.

I love this club.

[Trollheart]

Is that Ozzy??

[jimmy jazz]

Is that Ozzy??

Yeah, he's a Villa fan.

[Trollheart]

Yeah I thought it was.
So is Duran gone to fucking Saudi Arabia? Or going? And surely if so they're not going to sell Ollie too? Self-destructing behaviour if they do. Rogers is great, and Ramsey on his day too, but we need a natural goalscorer to keep up there.

fucking chelsea, greedy ass club just throwing money at big names and scooping them all up to try to buy themselves a champions league win. disgustang. are they as bad in men's football?
