After being told by everyone all season that he’s having a party, Jamie Vardy decided to do just that for the Chelsea-Spurs match that would prove to be the final result needed to confirm Leicester’s Premier League title. And as a result, we get this brilliant celebration video.
Spurs squander 2-0 lead to end title hopes in most Spurs way possible
Spurs hadn’t won at Stamford Bridge since 1990, but they had to do just in order to prolong their slim title hopes for another week. They seemed destined to do just that when they took a 2-0 lead over Chelsea jsut before halftime. But then the longstanding animosity between the two clubs boiled over and Spurs did what they do best: implode.
This is what it’s come to for Mario Balotelli
A missed penalty against Frosinone brings Mario Balotelli to 16 straight appearances without a goal. Once automatic from the penalty spot, even Balotelli’s greatest strength seems to have disappeared as he has only scored one Serie A goal for Milan all season.

Marouane Fellaini delivered his 1,872nd elbow to an opponent’s head (which entitles him to a free small coffee!) as Man United hosted Leicester City. Though Fellaini’s elbow didn’t seem to hurt Robert Huth’s jaw of steel, the German defender did give Fellaini a taste of his own medicine with a hair pull.
2016 Arsenal civil war moans on with protest and counterprotest
The Great Arsenal Civil War of 2016 eclipsed the club’s match against Norwich as fans took the battle from the outposts of YouTube, Twitter, and Starbucks across north London to Emirates Stadium itself. An organized Wenger Out protest was met by a pro-Wenger resistance force while some highly paid men in kits ran around a bit.
Brendan Rodgers is boxing now
Brendan Rodgers is rumored to be headed to Celtic or back to Swansea next season, bringing an end to his, erm, colorful time off since getting sacked by Liverpool last October. So he’s getting into fighting shape by boxing with a new trainer who has demonstrated that he is either making fun of him or is just as oblivious as Brendan himself with the Instagram post above.
In the video, Rodgers trains with boxing gloves in an empty garage with Kanye West’s “Power” serving as the soundtrack. The ferocious look in his eyes tells you he’s imagining either Jurgen Klopp or Mario Balotelli as he goes to town on his trainer’s punch mitts.
Anyway, this has been your regular update on what Brendan Rodgers has been up to. Sadly, there isn’t going to be a sequel to Being: Liverpool about the last six months of his life.
Crystal Palace player accuses Alan Pardew of being bad at counting to three
Lee Chung-yong has only made 12 appearances for Crystal Palace this season and according to the South Korean international, that might be at least partly down to manager Alan Pardew’s struggles in counting to three.
Leicester fan convinces girlfriend to name their daughter “Vardy” with internet petition
Given the incredible turn of events for Leicester City this season, it’s understandable that their fans would be a bit drunk on life and delirious. Perhaps this is why Leicester supporter Ashley Marriott decided that “Vardy” — as in the club’s top scorer Jamie Vardy — would make a good middle name for his unborn daughter and that he should start an internet petition to convince his partner of this.
Broken Arsene Wenger blames Arsenal fans for not winning the Premier League
Arsene Wenger is a broken man. Looking set to finish third or fourth in the Premier League for the 11th consecutive year in a trophyless season that will likely mark the first time in 21 years that Arsenal will finish behind Spurs, the club’s fans have been voicing their discontent even louder than usual in recent weeks.

The Allsvenskanliga match between IFK Gothenburg and Malmo was abandoned when a player heaved the corner flag into the crowd after an explosive device thrown from the stands went off near his feet. Malmo’s Tobias Sana, who played for rivals IFK from 2009 to 2012, was warming up on the touchline when the firework landed near him and went off in the 78th minute. Sana then charged towards the area of the stands where it came from, picked up the corner flag and threw it like a javelin into the crowd. It didn’t appear to hit anyone.
