John Terry is not mad. This is funny to him. He's laughing, actually.
Terry arranged his own substitution in the 26th minute of Chelsea's final match of the season — the final match of Terry's Chelsea career — because he wanted to honor himself by having the fans honor him. Terry was made fun of for this frivolous situation (The other players formed an honor guard as he left the stadium! Really!), but he is not mad at all.
Let's see what Manchester City new boy Gabriel Jesus thinks of the Premier League now that he has had half a season to get acclimated to elite European football.
From ESPN:
"I thought it would be harder."
(takes deep sigh, looks up at sky, mumbles "God forgive me", crosses self)
That's what she said.
Go get a pint glass. Fill it up with white wine. Pour some out. Big Sam is leaving.
From his statement on Crystal Palace's website:
If you melted this video down and injected it into your bloodstream, you would spontaneously combust.
So don't do that. Watch it though.

Xabi Alonso has retired from professional soccer, but his spirit lives on. And by "spirit" we mean "scoring goals from outrageously far away".
Well, sort of.

The premeditated pomp and choreographed farewell that John Terry bid Chelsea supporters at Stamford Bridge on Sunday stood in stark contrast to Luis Enrique’s final match at the Camp Nou. While the feel-good factor in the southwest of London as compared to the tension-riddled atmosphere at the Camp Nou could go someway towards explaining these divergent going away parties, the real variation was really only in the respective men of honor.
Arsenal’s run of 19 straight Champions League appearances came to an end on a Premier League Super Sunday that was loaded with goals but very little drama. Early goals from both Manchester City and Arsenal put a little pressure on Liverpool, but Georginio Wijnaldum, Philippe Coutinho and Adam Lallana scored three goals in a ten-minute span bridging halftime to put the Reds into the 2017-18 Champions League playoff round at the expense of the Gunners.
