Tricky game for Spurs at Burnley

This tie of the English football calendar is one that has been steeped in tradition, mired in mayhem and decorated with some defining moments. It is more than the ‘North-west Derby’; more than a grudge match. It is an assault on the singular heritage of being called the most successful club in English league football.

Surprisingly both clubs have their own City rivals and derby clashes but they share an unrivaled fire to disquiet and rile up each other. Both have storied past, fanatic and militant support and 35 miles of geography separating them.

Even before the knocking off perches, Rafa’s factsheet and Suarez’s vampire impressions, this fixture has always been the theatre of English football’s greatest plots.

Chelsea have been banned from signing players in the next two transfer windows for breaching rules in relation to youth players, Fifa has announced.


The ban, until the end of January 2020, does not prevent the release of players and will not apply to their women's and futsal teams.


The Premier League club have been given three days to appeal.


They have also been fined £460,000, while the Football Association (FA) has been fined £390,000.


It comes following a Fifa investigation into Chelsea's signing of foreign under-18 players, including former striker Bertrand Traore.


The world governing body says it found breaches of its rules in 29 cases.


The FA has been told it must address its rules regarding the international transfer and registration of minors.


How did this come about?


Based on documents from Football Leaks, French website Mediapart claimed in November that 19 Chelsea signings had been looked at in a three year-long investigation.


Mediapart alleged that 14 of those signings were under the age of 18.


It was first reported in September 2017 that Chelsea were being investigated.


Burkino Faso international Traore - who now plays for Ligue 1 club Lyon - signed his first professional contract at Chelsea in 2013 at the age of 18 but was not registered until January 2014.


Mediapart claimed Fifa found evidence that Chelsea had misled them over the dates, while Traore was found to have made 25 appearances for the Blues (under-16, under-18 and first team) despite not being registered by the FA.


Chelsea admitted they paid his mother £155,000, as well as a further £13,000 to the club she chaired - AJE Bobo-Dioulasso - in April 2011 to allow them first refusal over his signature.


That deal, it is alleged, was for four and a half years, despite the limit for under-18s being three years.


In addition, it is also claimed Chelsea paid for Traore to attend the £20,000-a-year Whitgift School in Surrey.


In a statement in November, Chelsea said it had "fully co-operated with Fifa". The club also said it had "provided comprehensive evidence demonstrating its compliance with the applicable Fifa regulations".


Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid both received bans for breaching rules over the signing of minors in early 2016, while fellow Spanish club Barcelona were given a 14-month ban after breaking rules for signing international under-18s in 2014.

Rio Ferdinand joins Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at Manchester United training… and both of them know what its like to score winners against Sunday's rivals Liverpool

Perhaps they were reminiscing over whose last-minute winner against Liverpool was better.

Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand joined interim manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as he took training ahead of Sunday's crunch clash with their bitterest rivals.

Solskjaer famously scored a stoppage time winner as United beat Liverpool 2-1 in the FA Cup fourth round en route to their historic Treble success in 1999.

Not expecting any agreement but IMO the two British / Irish players who you could build a team capable of winning a major tournament in the last 25 years were Roy Keane and Paul Scholes.

 

One was disrespected because he spoke out too much, one was disrespected because he spoke out too little. 

They did their talking on the pitch even Zidane reckoned PS to be the best midfielder he had ever played against

The finishing for him was always natural. When you look at our current striker Rashford, finishing is something he has to work extremely hard on. Ruud had it locked down from birth and in the youth-ranks like Rooney also had.
