mate, this is just beyond ridiculous at this point

Its way beyond that brother, did you see how they pushed pool vs WB? Daylight robbery to get one of their darlings in CL. Look at udt last season and this season......pushed to be in top4, others not only have to fight for it like old days but also has to content with these corrupt bastards as well.....perfect example is Chels.

Its disgusting. 

The only consolidation is that we're not the only group of fans seeing this obvious corruption. Even the fans who support United and Liverpool are agreeing with a cheeky grin on their faces because they know they are getting away with murder.

I have a feeling we are going to miss on top four in Sunday.

Where's the winning mentality that Jose has taught us? Are we really scared of freaking Villa, instead of pumping to ram them?

Anyway, I wonder how came PL clubs never said a word on officials. It's ridiculous that best league has such poor refs and multi million dollar business is dependant on them. They unite in much less important things, staged superliga, what is there to loose?

At some point clubs will do exactly that, look at pool, they banned a ref from their games not long ago, pool of all fucking people. Managers already very bewildered, TT mentioned it alot after the LC match the other day. Big Sam just did it too......this corruption is bound to fail, its breathing its last breaths.

No man is jinx and Chelsea keeping him in job. Cup final, they had terrible run and beating us at Christmas and the same last week.

Also Rui Faria is rumored as option. Interesting, as he worked in Chelsea as physio and Mou's assistant.

Flattering to deceive or reasons for optimism? Analysing Arsenal's post-Christmas surge By Daniel Zeqiri No statistical sleight of hand can turn this season into a successful one for Arsenal. Finishing outside of the top six in the Premier League, and being eliminated by Unai Emery's Villarreal from the Europa League, makes it nothing other than a failure. However, contrary to their position in the table, Mikel Arteta's side have not bumbled along as a mid-table team. Their league season actually divides into two parts: an abject first 14 games which yielded only four wins and left them 15th on Christmas Day, and a pretty impressive stretch of accumulating just shy of two points per game since then. Only the two Manchester clubs have amassed more points than Arsenal since Christmas. Even more surprisingly, if you base your calculation on points per game then Arsenal are second behind Manchester City. Should they beat Brighton on Sunday, Arsenal will finish with five more points than they did last season and only two fewer than in Arsene Wenger's final campaign. Underwhelming certainly, but not that far off expectations. How much can Arsenal take from their post-Christmas results? I offer some reasons for both optimism and caution in this week's Football Nerd.   The best of this week's coverage Turbo Timo: How Chelsea can get the best out of their industrious but wayward striker Euros audition: England stars have one last chance to impress Gareth Southgate End of an era: Nuno Espirito Santo announces he will leave Wolves at the end of the season Farewell Sergio Aguero: 'He was like Denis Law - a different animal' Nature is healing: How the return of fans made all the difference to the Premier League action 'Every top manager in Europe wants him in their side, but his options are limited to a couple of clubs who won’t be priced out.'   Jamie Carragher column: Liverpool would love to buy Harry Kane - but there are 120 million reasons why they won't     This week's best stat   7 Premier League goals scored by Jorginho this season, making him Chelsea's top goalscorer.
