TO UPDATE Division One 1987 1988 Liverpool Nottingham Forest

13 April 1988
Anfield, Liverpool
Attendance 39,535

 Many still consider this match be the finest performance by the finest vintage of Liverpool teams throughout the club’s history, Just before Liverpool clinched the First Division title in 1988, Liverpool hit five without reply and Brian Clough’s team knew they had been let off lightly. Just four days earlier Liverpool had beaten Forest 2-1 in the semi-final of the FA Cup at Hillsborough, and just a few weeks later Forest would finish third in the First Division. In front of almost 40,000 at Anfield, Aldridge scored twice while Gary Gillespie, Peter Beardsley and Ray Houghton also found the net…. The legendary Sir Tom Finney said of the game:  “It was the finest exhibition I’ve seen the whole time I’ve played and watched the game. You couldn’t see it bettered anywhere, not even in Brazil.” Ten days later Liverpool clinched their 17th Championship and their 9th in 14 seasons!

Liverpool and Liverpool Reserves.' (Bill Shankly)

TO UPDATE Zola Farewell to Chelsea : Chelsea Zaragoza Friendly 2004

8 August 2004
Stamford Bridge London


 Gianfranco Zola has returned to Chelsea for one last appearance and said a tearful goodbye to the fans who adored him for seven memorable seasons. Chelsea beat Real Zaragoza 3-0 in a friendly in London as new coach Jose Mourinho fine-tuned his plans for the new season, but still found time to give Zola, now with Cagliari, a run-out that was greeted by a huge standing ovation. "It was absolutely fantastic," Zola said. "It was emotional and an incredible response from the crowd."  The Italian forward was even given the captain's armband and convinced everyone he would still be able to terrorise English Premier League defences at the age of 38, just as he did in 1996 when he joined from Parma. Zola left Chelsea last year to return to his native Sardinia at around the same time as billionaire owner Roman Abramovich took control of the London club. 

TO UPDATE Premier League 2011 2012 Queens Park Rangers Newcastle

12 September 2011
Loftus Road,
London

Attendance: 16200
Arbitre: Philip Dowd


Queens Park Rangers failed to spark their new era into life despite an encouraging display as they were held to a goalless draw by Newcastle. Shaun Wright-Phillips was a menace on his debut as he headed over before having a chip cleared off the line. ay Bothroyd added to an open first half but was also denied under the bar by Danny Simpson and squandered a volley from seven yards out. Leon Best had Newcastle's best chance but Paddy Kenny saved to his right. The hosts faded after the break with Wright-Phillips going close again with a shot from distance after a fine run.

TO UPDATE P.L. 2011 2012 Bolton Chelsea

2 October 2011
Reebok Stadium,
Bolton

Referee: P. Walton
Attendance: 24657


 Frank Lampard, l'omniprésent. En excluant les (rares) périodes pendant lesquelles il était blessé, le diesel de luxe de Chelsea a été titularisé soixante-huit fois lors des soixante et onze matches disputés par l'équipe d'Angleterre entre novembre 2003 et septembre 2011. Autant dire que, pour Eriksson, Mac Claren et Capello, tout comme pour Ranieri, Mourinho et tous ceux qui les ont suivis à Stamford Bridge, son nom était toujours parmi les premiers à être inscrits sur une feuille de match. Comment aurait-il pu en être autrement, d'ailleurs, lorsque ce milieu de terrain alignait des statistiques à faire crever d'envie la plupart des attaquants de Premier League? Il n'a jamais marqué moins de dix buts en une saison de Championnat depuis la saison 2002-03, passant la barre des vingt toutes compétitions confondues chaque année de 2005 à 2010. Avec cent quarante et une réalisations en cinq cent trois rencontres de Premier League, il est, et de loin, le milieu de terrain à avoir trouvé le plus souvent la cible depuis la création de ce Championnat. Enfin, le chiffre le plus incroyable : cent soixante-quatre matches de Premiership d'affilée, tous pour Chelsea, record pour un joueur de champ, le symbole le plus brillant de sa constance au plus haut niveau.
