Whoever drops points in the Liverpool vs Chelsea game tomorrow is out of the title race, City will have pulled too far ahead already.

Leicester's 2015/16 title winning squad. Goes to show how miraculous it was. Most of their rivals had a bunch of players who cost more than the entire Leicester squad.  |

Good game for the neutrals, but best possible result for Man City.
League's gone now, hopefully we can win a cup.

And of these players, Vardy, Okazaki, Kante, Fuchs and Schmeichel are players who have or is playing at a very high level. 10/10 value for money. Though Drinkwater didn't become any kind of star, 1 million transfer fee was still rediculously low.

We were robbed by the ref and VAR... again! Edit: I'm talking about arsenal, lol. are you referring to the Liverpool/Chelsea game? |

Fuck, Oussou Konan Anicet, who played for HJK in 2014, is dead at 32 by... poison?
RIP OUSSOU Oussou Konan dead at 32: Ivory Coast star killed while on holiday after alleged poisoning
Striker Konan died in his hometown of Yopougon with reports suggesting the cause of death was poisoning, according to KingFut.
Konan also played for Misr El-Makkasa, and El-Gaish during his career.
He started out with Ivorian giants Africa Sports before heading to Egypt in 2010 where he signed for Misr El-Makkasa from Tunisian side Espérance Sportive de Tunis.
Konan managed 11 goals in 27 which attracted the attention of Egyptian giants Al-Ahly.
They forked out around £160,000 in July 2012.
However, he only played six times and failed to make a huge impact due to the suspension of the Egyptian Premier League.
Though he was with HJK only for a season, and honestly not a very good player, he was still liked because his workrate was splendid for a striker. What a tragedy.

Following Man City's sale of Ferran Torres, Man Utd now have the most expensive squad in the world. Still "rebuilding?"   |

Amazing that Manchester United is so bad this season despite having such an amazing offseason. Acquired Ronaldo, Sancho, and Varane just to become worse

MLS has the most Latin players out of any league. Portugal is surprisingly the highest in Europe  |

In Portugal it looks like at least 80% of them are Brazilians. Portugal would be the easiest transition into a foreign league for a Brazilian player, for obvious reasons. Language/culture, etc. Portugal also has a larger scouting network in Brazil own than any other country. In comparison, Spanish scouts are more widely spread across Latin America.

Kinda surprised that La Liga is relatively low, barely higher than Serie A. I guess Spain has tons of talent at home that it doesn't need to search across the Atlantic |

Perfect Villa debut for Coutinho. 2-0 down to Man Utd, comes off the bench with 20 minutes left, scores a goal and assists another to draw the match.

Barcelona bought him without knowing where to use him. Griezmann failed in that team too. Barcelona is not a good place to be an attacking player now |

Brentford have spoken to Christian Eriksen about the possibility of signing the Denmark midfielder.
Eriksen had his contract cancelled by Inter Milan last month after being told he could not play in Serie A after being fitted with an implanted cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) - a type of pacemaker. No such regulation exists in the Premier League and it is understood a number of clubs are keen to sign him.
