Fifa is discussing whether to allow only captains to speak to referees, says former Netherlands striker and manager Marco van Basten.

It would bring football in line with rugby union, which has strict rules around in-match communication.

Van Basten, Fifa's chief technical development officer, said there have been talks about how to improve player behaviour and respect for officials.

"There are a lot of players now who are complaining during a game," he said.

China can't just buy the best league in the world as hard as some comapnies and CEO's try. It is just throwing money down the drain thrankly and from a country with so much obvious poverty it's disgusting to see. The current money they are throwing away is obviously not sustainable and there is no way it will become so.

That been said the Korean system is realtively stable despite the fact that almost all the teams are loss making and not financial sound. The Korean model is very much that the big companies each have a team as almost a play thing to compete with each other. This is why the Korean sides are so competertive internationally despite the really unhealthy situtation of the domestic league.

I suspect it will be the case that the Chinese system will settle into a much bigger version of what is going on in Korea with more money than actually makes financial sense been chucked at the teams. But there's no way the current levels of money will continue. We will see many Chinese teams rise and win leagues and things just for their owners to lose interest and cut the money off. (something not unknown in English football).

Also as an English man living in Beijing whoever said they would rather have Beijing smog than English weather is litterally the world's biggest idiot. It's a long running issue with my girlfriend, I have told her there is no way I am rasing a family in Beijing end of story.

The Chinese league will shut down in 2-3 years because of betting incidents anyway... As all the predecessors also did...
And still I can't understand the hate Oscar gets for his decision. He gets way more money there, maybe he is indeed open to the living in the different abroads... (not as England would be his home country either) and right now he is a merely looked at sub while in China he can be a star. This "you only love football if you want to play in England" bullshit is really tiring. Look at it from a personal level... But I guess for you guys a Polt or MC also never "loved" Starcraft. Hell... maybe they didn't, it is a job afterall, but they clearly made the best out of it for themselves.

I think there's a huuuge difference between prioritizing money when it's the difference between 50k and 200k per year and when it's a difference between 5 million and 20 million. I largely agree with the other points you're making, but the polt/mc parallell just isn't there.

Conte was angling that he wasnt going to start Batman saying he not used to the league etcetc. Interesting one but hey im sure he comes on in second half here.

It's tradition in this country :D
Full stadiums up and down the country we only have 1 family day at xmas then it's go out and watch your local sports team

Chelsea vs Bournemouth a great game by the way, some fast flowing free attacking play by both sides. Hazard Pedro Willian together one touch perfect. Wilshere showing he isn't done yet as well.

I would be so pissed if i was Batman, i mean if that is 1-0 game going into the last 15 minutes ok, but scoring so fast after the second half it was game over. To not bring him on for at least 15 minutes is beyond my fathoming of the situation. Oh well performance was great, the front 3 and cesc were a joy to watch.
12 wins in a row!

Least we could do was send him on together with aina. Hazard and pedro looked visibily tired. Surely he deserved more time.Tactically conte was spot on though.

Yeah i agree, i would have bought him on with Nate Dogg myself and even bought Nate Dogg on for Matic who i thought was very poor in his passing game today. We always look so well shaped with Conte it's great and when you have Tibo back to his best making 2 fine saves out of the 2 only shots from Bournemouth just oozes confidence.

12 record setting wins for the club, onto Stoke at home for 13th. Premier league all time record is 14.
Stoke H
Spurs A
Leicester A

Most consecutive wins: 14, Arsenal (between 10 February 2002 and 24 August 2002)

Can we do it?
