Well done Rochdale. They have named a terminally ill five year old as a substitute in their next match.

Great for the young lad, well done Rochdale.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

It's great to see a football club that understands that the fans are the club.

Has he? I'd be curious to hear more about this perspective. Klinsmann has his faults, but I think he's largely doing what he was brought in to do for the US.

That said, it doesn't sound like he's a front-runner and I wouldn't see him being a good fit anyways.
I was referring to the 4th place at a weak Copa America last month on the back of 4th place at 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup. Missed opportunities? USA want shot of him too.
I told you it was coming

Pogba jumps over a foul and gets booked for diving.
3 days later and West Ham player jumps out of a foul that would have missed him by a clear foot and Rooney gets booked.
Rooney then gets kicked in the face causing injury whilst going for a standing header in the penalty box and it is not even a foul.
What with Valencia being rugby tackled by Arsenal in the penalty box for no foul I am not suprised Mourihno is a little annoyed.
What the fuck are all these referees and assistant referees actually paid to do :huh:

Plenty of silly decisions and inconsistencies. However Mourinho needs to be a bit smarter with his anger.

Yes I'm not condoning Mourinho's behaviour (and I don't approve of a lot of what he does and says but that is another issue) but I understand his frustration the inconsistencies in refereeing are ridiculous.

Q: What do you expect when you bring on a player who looks like a member of the hair bear bunch?

A: Cartoonish behaviour.

Fellani what a nightmare! By far Evertons best player on the pitch.

Jose can only blame himself. When will he learn that if you sit back and try and hold a lead, instead of carrying on playing the way that got you in the lead, is not a good idea.

A Liverpool fan walks into a travel agents and says "I'm looking for a small break away in England for the Christmas period, but I don't know where to go?" The travel agent replies "You can't beat Bournemouth this time of year".
