BT Sports Advertisement For The Christmas Fixtures
I stumbled on this advertisement at the Chelsea blog We Ain’t Got No History. Apparently, they can’t take a joke and chose to talk shit about BT Sports because of their #banter.

Eliaquim Mangala is a Scapegoat
Scapegoating is easy. It’s also dumb. Eliaquim Mangala is increasingly becoming the scapegoat of Manchester City’s season thus far, and there’s no good reason for that.
