Diego Costa And Antonio Conte Text Break Up Reminiscent Of 6th Grade Romance

We've all seen Diego Costa's crazy antics this season, from driving a John Deere on the training field to stealing cake at halftime from the press conference room. Although it bolstered Chelsea's internet presence, Antonio Conte was ultimately not impressed.

Eden Hazard Reportedly Out For The Rest Of The Summer After Breaking Ankle With Belgium

Chelsea attacker Eden Hazard has had his summer cut short via an ankle injury. The 26-year-old reported Real Madrid target twisted his ankle during Belgium training on Sunday, and scans revealed his ankle is broken.

5 Clubs That Shook Up European Football This Season

The 2016-17 European club season brought many surprises. There were several teams that nobody expected much from, but they managed to prove us all wrong by either winning a title, qualifying for European competition or doing something notable in the Champions League.

Arsenal Win FA Cup After Alexis Sanchez And Victor Moses Get Up To Some Mischief

Sure, Napoli and Roma seem set in their Champions League spots. Sure, every position in the league is seemingly sorted, bar Crotone and Empoli bickering about who gets to be the third worst team. Sure, the league is pretty much done and dusted. But we still have one round of fixtures left.

John Terry Awards Himself A Guard Of Honor While Luis Enrique Bows Out The Back Door
