Ronaldo fined 17mill and 2 year suspended sentence.. tax fraud
Assuming Manchester City don’t blow their nine goal lead, our home fixture against them on February 23rd will be re-arranged.
Strange that BT had already nominated that as theur televised early Saturday evening fixture given City’s involvement in the League Cup when the TV fixtures were announced.

Thierry Henry at Monaco proves how superstar-turned-manager trend can spell fiasco

No doubt wishes he was still a pundit, 5-1 at home to Strasbourg isn't just bad it's exceptionally bad, hard to be so awful if you were actually trying to ruin them.
It's putting Gary Neville's dalliance with management in a new light as that's not looking so bad by comparison, Monaco are now second from bottom and three points off the fourth from bottom club in a twenty team 'ligue 1' table.
I know they've lost so many top class performers but that's some fall from their recent heights

Fulham striker Kamara arrested. Interestingly, Fulham have yoga sessions, that worked out well.

didn't realise the city game was on, what on earth is pep thinking picking some of those players?
...pass by de Bruyne in the lead up to the goal was glorious. Commentator never even mentioned it.

I thought this but I think it's keeping the form going? I dunno, bit of a risk, hope Burton have a flat surface

I'm not watching, just saw a few big guns playing.
Think de bryne is still playing his way back to full fitness and whilst aguero is scoring you have to keep playing him ... strikers thrive on confidence and nothing builds confidence like scoring goals

So Higuain has finally signed and Sarri has someone he trusts, we'll see how it goes - personally i can see him being sacked at the end of the season.
Or perhaps “mutual consent”, which is just a euphemism for sacked anyway.
A League Cup won't save him
Sarri wanted Higuain, because he is clinging to what he knows best as a familiar crisis looms over Chelsea. It makes more sense than some of their most absurd short-term signings in the past, like Alexandre Pato three years ago, but you can see the pattern emerging. An embattled manager granted an expensive signing against the club’s better judgement and problems flowing from there.
Shevchenko, Torres, Morata were maquee signings up front, their history with these is fairly chequered and not a particularly happy one.
His recent comments on Hazard seem fairly delusional, almost as if he's searching for someone to shift the blame onto to me, and his treatment of their former star player Kanté, just to try to accommodate his favoured and underperforming favourite Jorginho, is quite bizarre.

Paris St-Germain forward Neymar was told "don't go blubbering" after he left the pitch in tears having suffered a fractured metatarsal.
Neymar was fouled three times in a few seconds by Moataz Zemzemi during PSG's 2-0 French Cup win over Strasbourg.
The 26-year-old responded by doing a "rainbow flick" over the head of Zemzemi but had to come off injured.
"It's Neymar's style, but don't come and complain when you get kicked," said Strasbourg's Anthony Goncalves.
"He is a great player, I respect him. He can enjoy himself but don't come blubbering afterwards."
However, PSG manager Thomas Tuchel was unhappy with the comments by some of the Strasbourg players and coach suggesting Neymar's behaviour provoked his opponents to cause the injury.
"It was a situation where he was fouled three times, one after the other. The referee didn't give anything. He twisted his foot," said Tuchel.
PSG said Neymar had suffered a "reactivation of the lesion of the fifth right metatarsal", adding that treatment would depend on how the injury heals in the next few days.
The former Barcelona forward, who has scored 20 goals in all competitions so far this season for the Ligue 1 leaders, injured the same ankle last February and missed the rest of the season, only returning to fitness in time to play for Brazil at the World Cup.
"Ney is worried, because it is the same foot, the same place," added Tuchel.
"When you protect players who respect others, there's no problem"
Strasbourg manager Thierry Laurey described Neymar as a "phenomenon" in his post-match comments, but also said there was "nothing malicious" in his players' actions.
"There are moments when you have to play tough, it's as simple as that," Laurey said.
"There are moments when, if you go over the limit a little bit, you have to expect that you are going to get a kick or two.
"I didn't ask my players to go and kick Neymar, but I understand why the players had had enough of someone who was looking to tease and taunt them a bit."
Strasbourg coach Thierry Laurey has accused Neymar of "mocking" the opposition
The 54-year-old Frenchman conceded players [like Neymar] need protection but that his players "grafted for 90 minutes" to "try and stop" him.
"When you protect players who respect others, there's no problem," Laurey added
"For example, when you do a pass with your back [referring to Neymar in a match against Guingamp], when there's no reason for it, then that's mocking.
"I've seen plenty of PSG players other than Neymar who are very good at 5-0 up, but when it's 0-0 they don't show off like that.
"If Neymar plays in the same way against Manchester United [in their Champions League last 16 tie] he'll get the same reaction. Don't be surprised."
Goals from Edinson Cavani and Angel di Maria sealed the victory over Strasbourg.
Meanwhile, PSG midfielder Marco Verratti is already doubtful for the first leg of their last-16 Champions League tie at Manchester United on 12 February after suffering an ankle injury during the 9-0 win over Guingamp on Saturday.
