Well it looks like it will be at least 1 more season until VAR is around everywhere and most of it belongs to the past. Tho it feels like it really has been a season with abnormally much ref bullshit.

Ronaldo with extremely important goal again. His form at the end of the season is insane.

I am sorry but this keeps looking more and more like the board is refusing to decide on Wenger's future till the end of the season and he is the scapegoat for everyone because most think he knows his future and just refuses to speak up on it.

So the board only wants to go continue with Wenger if we he wins the FA cup? Man that is not a good environment to be heading into the cup final. Honestly either continue with Wenger or don't. Arsenal at the moment are stagnant, but there is truly nobody available that can make them better.

Btw I have to say the toxic environment at the match needs to stop. Seriously do that shit when you don't have anything on the line or through other channels.

Indeed, I think his player rotations have been spot-on. Especially his handling of Ronaldo, a player who no doubt wants to play every single game of the season. This is the first time in a very long time that Ronaldo is in peak condition heading towards the latter games of the season instead of being burned out. Even Juve will struggle to contain Real I feel.

I hate Diego Costa so much. Grabs O'shea by the neck and then elbows him in the face. O'shea does nothing at all and then Costas on the floor holding his face trying to get him booked. Absolutely disgusting retrospective action can't come quick enough.

Pretty sure he didn't catch OShea with his elbow was more of his hand, then OShea did clench his fist and try and retaliate but missed. Costa got booked and freekick Sunderland, was more than the right decision there.

Also with the way he was subbed off and waving to everyone, seems the guy is leaving

Has a team ever not won the EPL after having best attack and defense in a season (spurs this year)?

Chelsea have had a lot of games were they have not looked convincing failed to put the game to bed and won with a one goal margin. The fact that they gritted out so many games like that is the sign of Champions and the winning spirit. You can say they where lucky to win quite a few of those games but their points winning margin is more than enough to dispel any myth that they were lucky this season. They easyily deserved to win the league.

Spurs with their points would have been enough to win the League on was it 7-8 previous seasons. I forgot that stat already.

edit: Where is Costa off to?

I really don't like the way he plays sometimes. His talent is undeinable. Why the Fuck would he come to China though I don't care about the Chinese league and I live here. A waste of his tallent although I have said previously I wish he would leave the EPL.

I do now have a favourite Chinese team. In planning my summer vacation which involves traveling to the far North East corner of China to visit 백두산 the massive super volcano on the North Korean/Chinese border. Which involves some quite serious hardcore train trips. I discovered whilst reading about the area that the tiny Korean city of Yanji in the Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture (spelt 연변 (yunbyun) so clearly poorly romanised) in Jilin has a Chinese Super League team. This blew my mind how can a tiny little city so remote from the rest of the China and the World in genral be competing with all the crazy money going around in the rest of th Chinese League. It is closer to Vladivostock than Jilin City which is the nearest big Chinese City already quite remote from the rest of China itself and the entire region is made further remote by the North Korean border to the South.

Yanbian Funde F.C. even has fun in the name 연변 화이팅!

Edit: Apparently won the 1965 League and where denied the chance to defend the title by the events of 1966. Football didn't resume in China 1973.

Relegated in 2014 but the Xi'an based Shaanxi Wuzhou folded and move to Gunagzhou thus saving the Jilin based club.

Interesting.

A player of his caliber joining China a year before a world cup would be sad. He even changed his nationality to play for Spain and he's their best striker. He was inconsistent this season but he was brilliant in his best games.

He changed his nationality to Spain for one reason "Luiz Felipe Scolari" played him for 10 minutes in a friendly and he threw his teddys out of pram and got an easy invited to Spains team lol. Bit of a joke really but hey, your free to do what you want. Also can "kinda?" see his point where Brazil have not had a striker since fat ronaldo and he has been retired a good 12 years now!

On your Chinese club search, that club defo looks like the good choice. Even the 2 clubs who were promoted this season into the CSL have spent mega money where as Yanbian seem to have not thrown silly cash around. They struggling right now, bottom of their league after 10 games.
