Kane just got his 20th goal this season, not bad for a 1-season wonder.

Who said he was a one season wonder?

A lot of people, I wasn't quoting anyone specific here, but at the start of the year, and during his dry spell in the first couple of months, a lot of people wrote him off.
 
International break now so no Premier League for a couple of weeks, it'll be weird with no top flight football over Easter...
 
In regards to the top of the league:

Last night, Schmeichel won the award for Danish footballer of the year. Afterwards a reporter asked Eriksen about the rivalry between him and Schmeichel in the top of the PL. His joke answer was:

"Now we need to injure Kasper. Of course he is injured when he returns to Leicester after two national games."

Reporter: "You'll take care of that?"

Eriksen: "Ahh, let's see"

(Danish article)
 
Norwich Striker Diermurci Mbokani was at the Airport in Brussels when the bombs went off this morning but was unharmed and is now safely back in the UK
 
Johan Cruyff passed away.

Damn.

Can't out turn the big C though.
 
Between playing in the Total Football team and starting off the 'tiki taka' culture of Barcelona, he probably had the biggest effect on the game of anyone. He was an icon.:(
 
Really sad to hear :(
 
Wrexham were on telly last night versus league leaders Cheltenham and for once, we delivered the goods when in front of the cameras!

Dean Saunders was burying us in his analysis though. Clueless, botoxed moron.

 
An inexplicable decision from an inexplicable decision and inexplicably announced during an England game...

... but Aston Villa have parted company with 'manager' Remi Garde.
 
Who would take over Villa? Joleon Lescott's Mercedes maybe?
 
No surprise about Garde, in the last few years the Villa job has become the worst in English Football IMO, ahead of Newcastle and Leeds, they have become a bit of a joke of a club I'm afraid..
 
FIFA has sanctioned Santos, Sevilla, FC Twente over third party ownership of players.

And, according to Marca. Man City has activated the £39.5 million release clause for Laporte who a couple of days ago suffered a leg fracture.

And there was me thinking that Darren Ferguson at Doncaster would be the next to go.

International Break now over, normal Premier League Football resumes this weekend, also the El Clasico is on this Saturday night, Barcelona are 10 points ahead or Real Madrid as it stands!

And on the topic of Spain, Gary Neville's been sacked.
 
Well that gamble worked well for him then...

Not satisfied with ruining Mangala and Otamendi that they need to ruin another good defender?

Not starting a rumour but we could see the possible exit of Demichelis or even Kompany.
 
I think Demichelis will definitely be out come the summer. He is also in trouble over betting on games at the moment, I'm not sure what kind if punishment that brings and weather it will lead to him being offloaded anyway.

I'm not sure about Kompany, if I was Guardiola I'd like to give him a shot at being consistently fit, he's too good to not be given a chance.
 
Toure will definitely leave under Pep I think, they fell out at Barcelona as I recall...

I still can't fathom why he was hired in the first place.

Probably the good rapport with Peter Lim who is also a share holder of Salford.

The owner of Salford City, Peter Lim, is co-owner of Valencia.

And for everyone else, Salford City is 50% owned by Peter Lim and 50% by a consortium made up of Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Nicky Butt and Gary & Phil Neville. Lim has also installed Phil as assistant coach at Valencia...
