^^^Was that the same one Ribery was involved in? Also thank you based Klopp for 3 points in the Europa League. The squad is gaining overall confidence and finding form. The Klopp effect is real. Happy for Ibe as well, I have big hopes for him. I think he can be as big as Sterling and maybe even better.
I just love listening to the dude talk. It's apparent already the effect he has had on the squad mentally. Rodgers was the benefactor of Suarez going god mode for most of that season. He's like the Michael Scott of coaching. Nice guy, and nothing more.
Leicester man. They are so fun. Dream run for them and Vardy. Have to believe both Vardy and Mahrez will get looks from bigger clubs soon.
I once met one of his ex girls (who was also a contestant on some TV show in Spain). She looked a bit like Eva Longoria. She came to my hotel room at 6 a.m.; fortunately, I was so drunk that i didn't open the door.
Stoke City have held Euro powerhouse Chelsea to a draw at halftime. Main reason being Mourinho's absence for this game (serving a one game ban). Shows you his top quality and how important he is to his club.
Vardy has not played top level Premiere league soccer so long (only 3 years).. that is even more impressive
Shaquiri opened up the Chelsea defense. Stoke City go up 1-0 on Chelsea. Oh, Where art thou, Mourinho??
This is funny, Mourinho is a freakin clown. The referee's report into the Chelsea manager's antics at West Ham has revealed exactly what landed the Portuguese his stadium ban Jose Mourinho branded referee Jonathan Moss "f****** weak" at half-time of Chelsea's defeat to West Ham, adding that Arsene Wenger was right in his assessment of Premier League officials. Mourinho was sent to the stands for his outburst during Chelsea's 2-1 defeat at Upton Park - his behaviour earning him a one-match stadium ban and a £40,000 fine. The Portuguese has previously expressed his frustration at being sanctioned by the Football Association (FA) while Wenger escaped punishment for describing officials as "weak and naive" after seeing Gabriel sent off for a tangle with Diego Costa in Arsenal's defeat at Chelsea in September. The FA has now published referee Moss' report, which reveals Mourinho's foul-mouthed outburst and his actions at the interval. "When myself and my colleagues left the field of play at half time, as we entered the tunnel area to get to our dressing room, Mr Mourinho the Chelsea manager was waiting for us clearly agitated and began aggressively asking about first-half decisions," Moss wrote. "Rather than publically speak to him I asked him to step into the entrance of my dressing room escorted by Simon Sutton, the West Ham United Security Manager. Mr Mourinho asked me about a tackle, an offside and a goalline clearance. "I gave him brief answers to his questions. After this I asked him to leave the dressing room area. He refused. I asked him again. After he refused again I asked Mr Sutton to escort him from the room. "At this point Mr Mourinho became very aggressive and animated. He shouted that you f****** referees are weak… Wenger is right about you…you are f****** weak. "I advised Mr Mourinho not to take his position in the technical area for the second half due to his actions." Mourinho is also the subject of a suspended stadium ban in relation to post-match media comments made following the loss to Southampton last month - the Chelsea boss having an appeal against the sanction turned down on Thursday. http://www.goal.com/en/news/1862/pr...-are-f-weak-fa-reveals-mourinhos?ICID=HP_TS_4
Mourinho seems like a veritable psycho. I always thought that much of it was an act, but I guess not.
Eh I'm not that sure about that. It's not like they were playing brilliantly in matches prior to this one, with Mou on the touchline. Either way I'm a bit more bullish on Chelsea than I was about two weeks ago. I think there is a bit more fight in the squad and this Stoke match wasn't lost for lack of effort or lack of creativity but just horrid luck in front of goal and the penalty call to Remy that wasn't given. The Chelsea fans are an interesting bunch though and it was great to hear they applauded the players after that match. Definitely supporting their manager and players(most of the fans). Lastly, Cesc. The talent was there when he came on tonight but the commitment and effort... just something there that wasn't right. Entered in the 2nd half and I think he must've given the ball away more than both Willian and Hazard combined. For a central midfielder, his effort in regaining possession was markedly less than his center forward. I see no point in him even getting put on the subs bench. At least Mikel, Kennedy and Ruben Loftus Cheek give more effort than him while Oscar provides enough creativity.
Stoke City steward causes mischief and delays Costa by inserting his foot underneath Costa's foot. http://es.pn/1WIekaX
Talking about trouble on the football field, I came across this one from years ago...thought it was funny. Fighting your own teammate, both get sent off. Looks like former England international Kieron Dyer will be on the English version of "I'm a star, get me out of here" soon (jungle camp). <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/4ebdYLD2_Hc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/kieron-dyer-lifts-lid-fight-7968397
I'm talking too soon but if results stay this way, what a great weekend for United. United Win Chelski Lose City Draw Arsenal Currently losing
I need a Sanchez goal to help my fantasy team out, then after that Tottenham can have a scoring party all they want.
Ozil is already at a really good assist pace and got another one today on a really nice delivery. If Arsenal had a decent striker, he could have had four assists just today alone. Giroud missed some really good opportunists served up by Ozil. Wenger's insistence on not upgrading the striker position keeps costing him.
