As the battle for supremacy among the planet's two best footballers continues, the Argentine says Ronaldo isn't his friend. Ronaldo and Messi have each shared the Ballon D'or Award since 2007 and both superstar footballers play for Spain's two most powerful clubs Real Madrid and Barcelona, leading to suggestions of intense rivalry between the pair.

Usain Bolt is officially the world's fastest man at 9.58 seconds for 100m but his record was broken yesterday by American athlete Justin Gatlin at 9.45 seconds. Unfortunately for Justin, the feat won't count because it was at a Japanese TV Show rather than an IAAF organized event/competition. Usain Bolt's record was set at Berlin World Championships in 2009 and hasn't been broken since then, but Gatlin is expected to be Bolt's major rival at this year's Rio Olympics.

It was meant to be the end. End to talk about Mourinho being sacked, end to in-house problems between Mourinho and his players. After all they had won their last two matches against Norwich and Maccabi Tel Aviv. But now at home, the blues' London bridge fell down. 
Whilst they may not win the Premier League, a top four finish did not look out the question prior to this match. But, Bournemouth played very well at Stamford Bridge. Artur Boruc made some key saves and once again Chelsea looked toothless up front and social media went nuts. Mind you,  Bournemouth is just coming from the championship. See the funny tweets after the jump... lol!

Today is Wayne Rooney's birthday (30) but opponents don't care. He cut his scalp in a clash of heads with Manchester City's captain, Vincent Kompany. Referee Mark Clattenburg ordered him off the pitch with blood gushing from the cut down the side of his head and on to his neck. United medics wiped away the blood on the touchline and then used a staple gun to stem the flow of bleeding. More pics after the cut...
