Nelson, whose friend Jadon Sancho already plays in the division for Borussia Dortmund, has been in talks over a new contract with the Gunners for months.

Damn they gave him the #9 so either he's really that good or they're that shit!
 
Whats up with Uefa changing the champs league kickoff time to 5:55 GMT or 12:55 eastern US, none of those games will be shown live.
This is the Champions League, the flagship product. They should save those kickoff times for the Europa league, that kickoff time works when you're playing teams like Qarabag and Vidi

Britain's richest man Jim Ratcliffe refuses to comment on Chelsea bid as he hints he might make offer for another club
  • Britain's wealthiest man Sir Jim Ratcliffe has been linked with Chelsea takeover
  • 65-year-old has fortune estimated at £21bn and is Chelsea season-ticket holder
  • He is interested in taking over a football club but didn't comment on Chelsea
  • Ratcliffe already owns the Swiss side Lausanne-Sport and offered £2bn to buy Chelsea earlier this year
  • Roman Abramovich insists the club are not for sale despite his visa issues


If Abramovich is definitely not looking to sell (you can tell of his intentions if he begins the stadium development) then Ratcliffe should make a move for Newcastle IMO
