As the great Ronaldinho once said, football is about joy. From a very young age, we’re made well aware of this fact by the strikingly jubilant spectacle we see unfolding in front of us. The Bundesliga’s YouTube channel has effectively captured this happiness with their “Top 10 Acrobatic Goal Celebrations” of all-time.
Chelsea FC are no strangers to controversy and accusations of foul play, whether it's kicking ball boys, wasting time, anything Diego Costa does, racist fans...we could go on forever. Yet in their game against Norwich, Gary Cahill played a back pass to Courtois who picked it up so blatantly, it defies belief.
When you’re in the relegation zone, things just don’t come off for you. For one, that’s the reason you’re lodged at the bottom of the table to begin with — your basic inability to to do anything right. For two, being lodged at the bottom takes a toll on your mental well-being, affecting your once professional ability.

The Paris club were without the creative flair of Angel Di Maria and Marco Verratti and it showed, as they only managed six shots all day.
