Hopefully Roman is going to stop investing. Hazard and Courtois strawberry float off to Madrid.

Conte looks very likely that he’d end up leaving.

Signing Carroll will be his parting shot.

Constant rumours that Conte is off and even he himself is saying he could leave in the summer. Hopefully Hazard finally strawberry floats off to Madrid this summer too, he's been linked with them every year but they just keep sniffing around De Gea instead.

They really are a strange club. They won the title few years ago under Mourinho. He wanted a few big names in the summer like Griezmann and Pogba to refresh the squad and build on that. The board just refused and they signed Djilobodji. Who Sunderland fans can tell you is awful.

They have did the exact same thing with Conte. He’s not been happy with how they spent in the summer.

Costa as big as a banana split he was is a massive loss. But he most likely probably would have stopped trying this season just like he did with Jose.

This will most likely be the year. Hazard is 27, so it is now or never really.

Think they are finally fed up of Bale. Benzema just doesn’t seem to score anymore. Ronaldo looks like age is finally catching up. No doubt he’d probably turn up against PSG and score a hat trick.

Wouldn’t surprise me to see Conte at PSG if Emery doesn’t win the champions league.

I keep forgetting he's that "old", the way the media wank over him you'd think he's some up-and-coming superstar.

His OTT outrage just helps underline how much of a bellend he really is.

I’m surprised so many people think the Willian one wasn’t a penalty. I don’t see why it’s the responsibility of Willian to hurdle and avoid a mistimed tackle.

I also thought it was a penalty. I also share your surprise.

It's more to do with pundits/fans etc crying out for this sort of thing to be taken out of the game. If you purposely leave your foot into a tackle so that contact is made then you should be rewarded for it.

That’s a pretty big exaggeration in my opinion. I don’t think thats what happened. You’re looking at in slow motion, in real time I don’t think there’s much more Willian could have done. He beat his man and the defender mistimed his tackle and impeded him.

I don't think so because he's already jumped over the tackle, so he could have easily taken his back foot over the defenders leg too but chose not to.

We’ll have to agree to disagree because I just watched it again and I can’t see that at all.
