FA reform: Former chiefs say 'elderly white men' block change No surprises there, but if the government gets involved, supposedly FIFA will block England from getting into the WC, b/c they loath government interference, but the FA hasn't been fit for purpose for a long time

The football world keeps talking blows

Premier League

Chelsea 1- 0 WBA

WBA had one job. One. Job.

Lampard rocked up. His wife doesn't look impressed, eh? You married a footballer, love. It happens

Pirlo rocked up too! He is firm friends with Conte

WBA does some stout defending and they did nothing but defend for the first 79 mins and then Costa got in there. Boo!

Manchester United 1- 0 Tottenham Hotspur

When I saw Mhiki's name on the sheet, I was like, "Yup, Man United are going to win 1-0. So said, so done. Call me Cassandra

NGL, Mhiki did really well (sorry, I'm not going to C+P his name in google). Bossed that midfield. Trivia of the day: First Armenian to score in the PL. I really thought Spurs should have pressured Dariman though, he was pretty brittle

Managers really play the game on the sidelines, eh? Mourinho wasn't pouting in the stands

OT has always been a bogey ground to Spurs as much as Crystal Palace has been for Liverpool. Speaking of Liverpool...

Liverpool 2- 2 West Ham United

This match was a goddamn mess. Why let the relegation rats like West Ham get a look in?

Supposedly before this game the West Ham and Liverpool keepers met each other and hugged it out. Goalkeepers' union, eh? Who would be one?

Payet did one of those damnable free kicks

Karius is young, I have faith in him. DDG started off badly and look at him now! Carra needs to have a cup of shut the hell up at the moment though

Bundesliga

La Liga

Serie A

Torino 1- 3 Juventus

The only Italian team I'm watching at the mo, Torino. They seem to always start well!

But Higuain shows why Juve paid €79 million euros for him

Buffon side eyes his defence. Goalkeepers man. I'm sure they meet up at their union and bitch about their respective teams and defence

The nice thing with Hart learning Italian is that himself and Buffon can speak to each other (I don't think Buffon speaks much English). Buffon greeted him warmly

No one expected Torino to win. Sorry, Harty!

Miscellaneous

Wow. Kluivert's son looks just like him, no? Features a bit sharper, but still.

OP: Sorry about the lack of pictures for Bundi and La Liga, but it's all swings and roundabouts at this time of day.
