It's Never Sunny in West London
On Wednesday, you might have heard that American actor Danny DeVito attended Chelsea's win over Napoli. DeVito, who is of Italian descent, was there to support Napoli.

So he'll be gone in the summer?
Tomas Rosicky Turned Down Big Money?
From The Sun, Arsenal midfielder Tomas Rosicky reportedly says he turned down offers from China and Russia to stay with the Gunners.
Quote:
"Arsenal let me get to the point where I had just half a year on my contract and could talk to anyone I wanted. It started to get interesting because I had very lucrative offers. This turned my head a little, but I have to say that Arsenal were my priority.
"In both cases it was financially huge numbers, so that somehow you had to entertain it, it's not easy. Some days I thought about it, but money is not everything, I'm glad I'll be able to continue at Arsenal."
