Where will these two go if they come into the 2018 World Cup qualifying?

Kosovo might be able to field a few decent players too..

Still pinching myself looking at Leicester TEN POINTS CLEAR - not just winning the league but crushing it, remarkable season.

Ronaldo - who else - has put Real in the lead and on top of the league; Barca need more than a draw now.

Suarez puts Barca back in charge, walked it into an empty net.

Ronaldo gets his second, but now with Real comfortably ahead the destination of the title depends entirely on whether Barca wins or not. Form what I am seeing, difficult to see Barca not winning by several goals. However, this assumes a truly rotten referee doesn't unduly influence the game: his failure to book or, rather, send off Lopes for what is normally referred to as a leg breaking tackle suggests the ref is capable of ruining this match. After another ugly bit of play by Lopes, Suarez puts Barca 2-0 up, league title now firmly in their grasp.

Sounds like Joey Barton is off to Rangers which is surprising and a loss for Burnley.

Was he out of contract?

Probably annoyed they forgot to give him a Championship medal...

Barton in an Old Firm game should be fun

Was thinking the same thing! In terms of quality he could certainly look the part at that level though.

Whoever loses the champions league final will be in pot 2 and may be an opponent for Leicester in the group stages

Not really, who follows the women's team?

Well done to arsenal ladies would have been correct as that is their official name. Well done to arsenal implies that arsenal fc played today

This is the height of unbelievableness!!

At first I thought it was a prank tweet, but it seems like it will actually be happening!

Edit: Apparently this was part of that "celebration"!

Not really, only a total idiot would think that, as anyone who knows anything about football would know that there was no PL matches today.

I was hoping that this was an ironic nod to the time Batdude did the exact same thing in regards for needs to specify the difference between the men's and women's teams.

Doesn't look like the case though sadly.

Hence the first post saying arsenal fc haven't played today.

Only a politically correct idiot t use your own terminology would know arsenal ladies were playing today
