We discussed a number of topics, not least the comments from certain fans that Charlotte Flair is booked too strongly, with The Queen cutting a promo on her nay-sayers and why Andrade doesn’t have his name on the United States Championship - before The Queen made some pretty mindblowing comments regarding the potential for her and Andrade having children in the future!

Domeier and Nasby Lucas, from the Marine Conservation Science Institute, started tracking sharks by accident, Domeier said. He had been looking to study a population of bluefin tuna around Guadalupe Island with satellite trackers....
Chateaubriant have done marvelously to get this far, but have not yet faced a Ligue 1 opponent, making them major underdogs. They are unlikely to upset Montpellier, and this should be business as usual for Michel de Zakarian’s team. Chateaubriant vs Montpellier Head-to-Head In a strange scenario, Chateaubriant have not played a game outside of the Coupe de France since October 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Prior to the postponement of all amateur football in France, Chateaubriant were second in Group A of the 2020-21 Championnat National 2....

Neymar faced a lot of criticism last night for over-acting when Celtic captain Scott Brown kicked out at him, but barely making contact in the process. Sometime back in July, a certain Stuart Broad was scrutinised heavily for not walking after clearly edging the ball to first slip in the first Ashes Test. Some would say both players cheated. But, hey. Barcelona won and so did England. Their unsportsmanlike behaviour went a long way in their respective teams’ victorious conquests....
In England, there were stats galore and plenty of them were hugely surprising, primarily because there were major shocks. Manchester United and Leicester City suffered shocking exits and Chelsea had to play extra time to proceed. Elsewhere, Liverpool, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur registered comfortable wins. In Spain, Sevilla drew a blank at Osasuna, enabling Real to extend the lead to six points at the top. Meanwhile, Barcelona and Atletico played out a goal-fest at the Camp Nou, which resulted in the Blaugranas entering the top-four....
In what turned out to be a comfortable evening for the Blues against 10-man Rennes, there were plenty of positives to take for Frank Lampard. Indeed, his side has now gone over seven hours without conceding a goal and are undefeated in ten games in all competitions. Neither goalkeeper was tested in the early exchanges of the game, although Chelsea looked settled and comfortable. In the tenth minute of the game, Dalbert clipped Werner inside the 18-yard box down the right....
Marcos Alonso gave Chelsea a 13th-minute lead, heading home the rebound when Diego Costa’s header looped up off the crossbar. The wing-back’s robust challenge on Hector Bellerin that allowed him to score is likely to draw post-match rancour from Arsene Wenger, but the suspended Gunners manager could have no complaints when those alongside him in the stand were brought to their feet in the 53rd minute. Hazard made his mazy way from his own half to the edge of the Arsenal six-yard box to score the kind of goal that can come to define title triumphs....
Cesc Fabregas gave the Blues the lead on his 300th Premier League appearance - the former Arsenal man producing a fine performance on a day that saw legendary Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard honoured at half-time following his retirement. But Chelsea were pegged back by Fernando Llorente’s excellent header on the stroke of half-time at Stamford Bridge, with Fabianski then looking very difficult to beat for a second time. Fabregas was denied a brace by the crossbar but Chelsea were able to restore their lead in fortuitous circumstances....
Upon return, Jose said that parting with Chelsea in 2007 was the right thing for the club at that time. Not many people believe that this reason is true. However, this reason seems the most practical among the others. Back in 2007, the media used to wait like wolves to pounce upon any opportunity to criticize the way club was run. Chelsea was often being targeted for rising player salaries and transfer prices....
The 27-year-old checked in for medical tests on Wednesday and has been tipped to sign a season-long loan deal at Stadio Olimpico. Zappacosta joined Chelsea from Torino in August 2017 for a reported £23million but has failed to hold down a spot in the side. He appeared 26 times in the Premier League during his first two campaigns at Stamford Bridge and has not been used by head coach Frank Lampard this season....
The home side started well and had an early goal ruled out for offside, but once Alvaro Morata drilled home the rebound from an Eden Hazard shot to give the Blues the lead in the 17th minute they never looked back. Morata turned provider six minutes later, his slick backheel putting Eden Hazard in to round Foster and make it 2-0, and an unmarked Marcos Alonso deftly volleyed home a Cesc Fabregas free kick to make it 3-0 before halftime....
With Alvaro Morata struggling for form and Olivier Giroud injured, Chelsea have confirmed their interest in the England international. Gonzalo Higuain has also been linked with a reunion with his former Napoli coach Maurizio Sarri, but the Blues are reportedly willing to pay up to £50million for Wilson. Bournemouth have signed Dominic Solanke from Liverpool to add to their forward options this month, yet Howe is still determined to hold on to Wilson....
