How did that not go in?

I wonder if Chealski supporters ever re watch the big games that they win. Sure they win the game, but it has to be tough cheering on you're team knowing the opposition will have at least 60% of the ball, and that wont ever change under Jose.

Chelsea just two wins away from the title now.

Once we went down it was always going to be difficult to come back. Considering Rooney was in midfield, I thought we played okay, put Carrick there, Rooney up top and the game could have been different. If Falcao was his old self we might have won too.

Shaw was very good.

Suppose Chelsea fans won't care as they've won the league but they are boring.

4.00 is hilarious. Puts the journo back in his place haha.

No problems for Man City today.

Its that time of year again were Yaya and his agent start the same old stuff again. A Footballing mercenary if ever there was one. I wonder if City will actually deliberately forget his birthday this year?

Think City will be happy to see the back of him, and if they can get 20 million for him they would be pretty happy. Tough to replace, but not had the best year.

Not sure I understand Toure attitude in the last year.

Toure is 32, is looking like a player past his best, is on serious top dollar wages and plays for a consistent Champions League team with resources and reputation. Can Toure expect a top team to come in for a 32 year old and have to outlay 20 million to sign him, plus match his 2 year contract still worth 27 million pounds? I very much doubt it, 47 million for two years of a declining player who arguably wasn't in world class territory at his peak (the best team in the world flogged him because he wasn't good enough) is stupid money..... for that price, they could probably sign a hungry 20 year old with almost certain quality and sell on value.

Toure will end up at a club lower than Man City, who surely cant buy him a Bugatti Veyron for his birthday every year of match his 250k a week pay deal. So Toure in essence is unhappy at Man City because he wants to play for a smaller club and get paid less?

After all, the rumours are (with Toure himself saying) that he wants to play at Inter under Mancini.... a team currently in the mid-table mediocrity of Italian Serie A football, as evidenced by the fact a loss to Sassuolo at the weekend would mean they dropped below a team based in a village of 20k people. Falling attendances, no European football, team heading to financial ruin.......

At least they may sing happy birthday

Apparantly City have got him a birthday cake this year -

[yuppie]

City would be pretty happy to get rid of the soap opera that is Toure.

Will be interesting to see if he is true to his word, and If Inter do make a bid for him and he is happy with a new challenge at £50,000 a week. He seems like a man of his word.

Tweet from Sky News -

Durham Police says footballer #AdamJohnson has been charged with three offences of sexual activity with a child under 16 and one of grooming

The grooming one is a bit disturbing. That's probably his career over even if found not guilty.

having sex with a 15 year old (was that her age) is against the law, but lets be honest, some look about 20. But yes, grooming, that sounds very wrong.

Yep, this sounds pretty bad.

Did he not recently play, or at least make the match day squads?

he came on, off the bench, and got a horrendous reception, as expected..
