Good game tonight at The Riverside. Boro v Everton live on SKY, think it will be a great game in all honesty. Hoping Kalas gets a start and looking forward to see how Stones and Lukaku get on.

Edit: and a nice assist to Lukaku..

I don't understand why Arsenal fans say they're inconsistent; first they had Diaby, now they have Wilshere.

How London's Football Teams Got Their Names

http://londonist.com/2014/10/how-londons-football-teams-got-their-names

Chelsea

The Blues' name dates back to Anglo-Saxon times, with Chelsea a corruption of Chelceth or Chelchith.

This means something like 'chalk wharf' (i.e. a place on the Thames where limestone or chalk was originally landed).

Shame for fans of Old English puns that they never signed Norman Whiteside.

And, indeed, that they actually play in Fulham.

Gary Neville has been appointed the new head coach of Valencia until the end of the season.

Neville has been working as an England coach and as an award-winning analyst for Sky Sports since retiring as a player in 2011 but now takes up his first managerial role.

The former Manchester United captain - whose brother Phil was named co-caretaker following Nuno's decision last week to step down as boss - has agreed a five-month contract and will continue his role in Roy Hodgson's set-up.

His first match will be the UCL match vs Lyon.

Very nice assist. Feel sorry for Ádám Bogdán, I hope he'll make some good saves.
