If we get this fair play thingy, season starts July 9th. Bet that will cheer the players up

Means Everton and West Ham might kick lumps out of each other this weekend to get a longer holiday.

'If we get this fair play thingy, season starts July 9th' = if we get a place in Europe through 'fair play', then we'll have to play in the early Europa qualifying rounds.

Happy Birthday Yaya, one can only hope he gets cake this time round. Probably more a farewell cake than a birthday one though.

Monk has done a great job especially after losing Bony.

this_is_gav · 13 May 2015 at 13:31

I wasn't expecting to see Newcastle appearing towards at the bottom of that list, despite their lowly points tally.

Still, QPR take some beating in the "throw money at it and cross your fingers" approach.

Well that looks like complete ********. Chelsea's wage bill is £190m on its own, no?

Trying to buy the league.

QPR are the biggest losers, they've not only spent insane amounts but got relegated back into poverty as well.

Remember seeing this during the game a couple weeks back and it slayed me.

Can you name these footballers ?

Can you name these footballers from when they were kids ?

Clicky

I only got 10 right.

Should see the ears on Gareth Bale when he was a kid

Loki · 15 May 2015 at 20:45

10 here as well

fez · 15 May 2015 at 20:56

Some of those are pretty hard and others you have an "of course" moment when they reveal who it is. Some of them are hilarious. Ozil looks like a weird kid. Only a couple of them look almost identical now and then. Rio and Bale are little spits
