Which United and City players have retired recently?

I would argue Messi is more of an impactful player than influential.

You can copy Cruyff’s philosophies and find moderate success, but it’s near impossible to just copy Messi’s playstyle.

Tame Impala would like a word.

Shouldn’t a player wait until further in the game to make bets on themselves?

Player contracts need an equivalent of “overtime” clauses; i.e.: anything above 50 games per year incurs a per-game appearance fee, bar any cup finals.

Perhaps even more granular with total minutes tracked.

It’s only illegal if you get punished before the statute of limitation.

Seven out of five dentists agree that brushing your teeth with acid gives them more business.

Unrelated to the match itself, but why did Henry refuse to talk with the ref analyst at the end of the broadcast?

The shross strikes again.

Arteta: “Trossard, if you score we’ll give you that nap you’ve been begging for.”

I thought Trossard was injured. If not, why wait so long to put him on?

What a finish. Midfielder more asleep at the wheel than Sanchez.

Classic Arsenal, where every rebound goes to the other team, every mishit cross turns into a goal.

• Rain is slowing down’s Arsenal’s style and hardly affecting Chelsea’s.
• Lot of fouls by both sides, some unpunished. Penalty was a bit harsh, but understandable.
• Martinelli needs to run at the defenders and put them in trouble.
• Sterling causing trouble out wide, but Chelsea has a gaping hole up front.

He wasn’t sure if it’s classical Big 6 or current Big 6.

Guy pushes Martinelli just as hard and then flops when he’s met with the same contact.
