The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special takes viewers on an adventure that takes Drax and Mantis to Earth in order to get Peter a very special Christmas gift. However, the wildest moment of the entire special is that it introduces GoBots to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. That’s right. Let me repeat that. The GoBots exist in the MCU–and not just as toys.
During a moment when Mantis and Drax find themselves outside of the TCL Chinese Theater in Hollywood, where there are a bunch of people dressed up in costumes, Drax sees someone dressed up as Cy-Kill–the leader of the GoBots. This enrages him, and Mantis says, “GoBots killed his cousin.”
What?
That quick line of dialogue introduces a whole species of robot aliens to the MCU-…

Things turned sour as Chelsea began a dreadful defence of their top-flight crown. Costa scored just four times in all competitions before Mourinho got the sack in December 2015, a drop in form that saw him and team-mates Eden Hazard and Cesc Fabregas branded rats by one Chelsea supporter with a shoddily written banner. It was an opinion that gained traction as Costa s goal return steadily improved after Mourinho s exit.
This season has not always been rosy either. While his 20-goal haul and link-up play with Pedro and Hazard in Antonio Conte s much-lauded 3-4-3 has been key to the Premier League trophy s return to Stamford Bridge, there were signs of discontent in January when he was dropped from the team to face Leicester City at the King Power Stadium.

Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho s inflammatory post-match accusations could be subjected to action by Barcelona.
Mourinho was left enraged following Pepe s sending off in the 61st minute in Wednesday s Champions League semi-final first leg, which also led to his dismissal to the stands and an ensuing 2-0 defeat to Barcelona at the Bernabeu.
Reigning Spanish champions Barcelona take a healthy advantage heading into the return fixture against their arch rivals at Camp Nou next Tuesday.
And the Catalan club is now deliberating whether it can refer Mourinho s stinging post-match statement, in which he declared Barcelona constantly received favourable refereeing decisions to the UEFA Disciplinary Commission.
A statement on the club s official site read: Barca�…
Napoli have dismissed the idea they could offer Cristiano Ronaldo refuge in January as the Serie A leaders insist they don t have to fix anything .
Sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli indicated the prospect of any major incomings or outgoings was remote, given Napoli are confident they have a strong group with the right balance.
He added that to fly with the fantasy would not be Napoli s style this season, as they seek a first Scudetto since the 1989-90 season, when Diego Maradona was at the club.
Ronaldo could leave Manchester United in mid-season if a deal can be found that suits all parties.
His refusal to play as a substitute and early exit from the stadium last week against Tottenham led to United briefly banishing him from first-team duties, althou…
