Does Zlatan ever do anything else than look anonymous with terrible hair and poach goals with the occasional screamer inbetween?

Turns out Pep has been drilling the entire City team as central midfielders all summer, in preparation for just this situation. Prepare to be out-passed.

The only unused sub was Romero so maybe he just wanted to give everyone time and didn't want to break up his lineup? I dunno why people are freaking out over this in an insignificant game

Mourinho took off Mata because he's small and he knew that Leicester would be chucking the ball into the box trying to get an equalizer.

Mata was laughing with Mourinho afterwards and at the trophy ceremony. The "spat" was invented by one dude on Twitter.

Rip Gabriel. You can at least rest assured that Wenger won't buy a CB so getting back into the team will be easy if/when you recover.

Sky Sports announce their coverage for this year Premier League.

http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/10526456/gary-neville-returns-to-sky-sports-for-its-biggest-ever-season

Gary Neville returns to Sky after his brief foray in management as a co-commentator and pundit. However, he does not have a permanent role in Monday Night Football.

For Friday Night Football, Jeff Stelling will be the presenter with Rachel Riley having some role in it.

With Ed Chamberlin leaving to ITV for horse racing, David Jones gets promoted to doing both Super Sunday and Monday Night Football and Simon Thomas gets promoted from presenting the Football League to Saturday noontime kickoff coverage.

Hayley McQueen will presents Sky Sports Ireland 3 PM coverage with Niall Quinn.

Also Jamie Carragher will try his luck in co-commentary this season.

I really don't want to have to listen to Carra's squeaky Scouse accent doing commentary although Neville's squeaky Manc accent isn't much better.

Don't forget that we get Gary Lineker presenting the first MOTD in his pants next week.
