- May 24, 2017
If the club fail to retain the services of these players, it is a certainty that they will not be adequately replaced and Arsenal may well turn out to be a mid-table club if that happens. Liverpool lost out in last year's League Cup and Europa League finals and Milner, who won the FA Cup with Manchester City in 2011 before their run of two league titles in three years, said winning one trophy is a catalyst for more .

Chelsea boss Conte doubly honoured at LMA awards night
- May 24, 2017
They put five passed Watford to confirm Champions League football next season. And on the back of Burnley midfielder Joey Barton's 18-month ban for placing 1,260 bets between March 2006 and May 2016, this could yet rumble on. Not even Jose Mourinho in his first spell in west London got that kind of adulation from the man who employed him. Results for the sides around them means that they finish on 46 points and the highest of the mid table teams. (more...)

Irving drained a 3-pointer in Kelly Olynyk's face. Before the playoffs began, the Celtics were 22-5 at home since January 1.

How the Nashville Predators reached their first Stanley Cup final
- May 24, 2017
They're waiting on either the Cleveland Cavaliers or Boston Celtics, who play game four of the eastern conference finals tonight with Cleveland leading two games to one. I mean, it was a gutsy effort. Watson, a role player, had two goals in the game. At that point, and particularly when Josi went off to serve his minor, it seemed like a matter of time before the Ducks grabbed the lead for good. (more...)

Boston ended the first half with a 57-47 lead, and that was after Cleveland got as close as six points thanks in large part to Irving, who scored 12 points in the second quarter to up his total to 18 for the game. "That's no excuse. They played well, but we've just got to play better, be more physical". Yikes.

Conte claims wounded Arsenal are FA Cup favourites
- May 24, 2017

The punter, who wished to remain anonymous, said: "We thought maybe 10-1, 15-1 at most as there was a precedent set". The visiting goalkeeper, Jordan Pickford, was reminded by Diego Costa and duly kicked the ball out of play to allow the substitution to take place. (more...)
