The 25th richest club in the world really should be in the CL.

Redslo has been working very hard and doing blogs about this kind of thing but nobody bothers to read them http://redsloscf.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/european-qualification-rules-for.html

An Algerian football site. http://www.dzfoot.com/2015/01/16/can-2015-sadio-mane-senegal-retabli-de-sa-blessure-60625.php Elsewhere the manager said he wasn't too sure exactly which match he would return in. http://www.dakaractu.com/CAN-2015-Sadio-Mane-s-est-entraine-avec-les-Lions-vendredi-medias_a82510.html

Ghana 1 0 up at HT. Mane should be fit for second group game.

Interesting to see Schlupp playing for Leicester seeing he was left out of African cup due to injury.

According to BBC, Senegal want to name him in the squad anyway.

Thought that was a Bearsy joke. Then I watched the video.

Anyone remember him saying that?

Won't be too disappointed if Chelsea get a pen by diving in their next game.

Thinking about Steve Bruce's Swan Lake comment for Gary Cahill, anyone found guilty of diving should wear a tutu for the next match. (I am :mcinnes:ing myself)

So he probably doesn't like Van Gaal too much and his first match could be against Man U. Should be up for it.

West Ham match isn't on the tele.

If game is on Sunday: three days rest before game (for Liverpool) four days rest after. Game on Monday: four days rest before game and three after.(if they play on the two Thursdays) So from that point of view match could be Sunday or Monday.

So Liverpool playing Besiktas home and away on the 19th and 26th Feb. In 2007/8 Liverpool beat Besiktas 8:0. Don't think it will be the same this time.

?? We have 26 points West Ham have 24. If they win 1 0 they will have 27 points.

We could always use the Hull strategy. In fact which positions in the league would result in a playoff to get to the group stages?

The match being held in Italy aren't the Italians responsible for crowd behaviour? They shouldn't be letting flares into the ground.

Also Belgium Wales. We'll see how well Toby does against Bale.

I think it was the promotional video for Staplewood that did it.

He would nevertheless have a lot of top secret information about Saint's transfer targets.

It's odd that the BBC haven't anything about it.

Liverpool last on MOTD tonight.

People are taking this as an anti-Saints agenda but it could be anti-Sunderland, giving them more own goals.

On the other hand it could be Saint's last chance to go top of the table. Would it be worth possibly sacrificing a place at the end of the season for a bit of fleeting glory? (Of the results needed for this scenario it is true QPR beating Chelsea seems most unlikely.)
