I think he was spot on.

Mocking Benitez's weight and saying his wife would be better off at taking care of that????

Mourinho should be smart enough to see that the comment from Benitez's wife was said in a light-hearted manner. At least in response to it he should have kept it in the context of a footballing point.

He overstepped the mark on this one.

Mourino continuing to be a jack***!

He just wants all the attention. He's the epitome of smugness.

So Maradona joins the run for FIFA presidency. He's goal? ''To fight against the mafia''

Does he even realize?

I like Bilic but picking that side tonight isn't good enough. I'm not buying this prioritising Arsenal stuff.

Contrast his side with the strong one Koeman picked when they were already 3-0 nil up.

The Premier League is a very vain league. Many sides over the years see the Europa League more as a distraction than an opportunity to actually embrace it. Yet we will still hear the self proclaim of the best league in the world while at the same time not performing on the stage that helps verify that claim.

We had this with Hull's defeat this time last year. Co-efficiency could be a big worry next year if performances don't pick up after last year's embarrassment.

It would serve them right.

Chelseas first 11 is the best in the division, but behind that there is not much. If they can avoid bigger injury problems and minimize fatigue later in the season, they will defend their title. Mourinhos teams have traditionally regressed in his third season, but this time he tries to build a dynasty in one club, not just have short term success, so things might go differently.

Arsenal seems better placed for sustainable title challenge than ever before in the last decade. Still too early though to call them favourites.

Hard to say anything about City. United and Spurs were both poor in todays opener, though United have more room for improvement given their major squad overhaul.

Interesting match this supercup, I hope they can win at least at overtime despite those stupid substitutes by Lucho

 

[BigMac]

I hope Sevilla wins. Any team with Suárez (and Busquets) deserves to lose every match.

Predictions:

Suárez to bite someone's arm off.
Beto to defend at least two penalties by going out of the designated area.

 

[Gigs_98]

holy crap that was one hell of a match.

The guy is compete joke, I think the awarding of world cups to Russia then Qatar (both against some impressive bids) was the final straw. He pushed the brown envelopes too far by that point.

Our first win at Anfield in 52 years. Yes, 52 *** years. I am ecstatic!!

Yes, I'm gonna get pissed tonight.

I like Martial as a player but that money is ridiculous. I heard he could be as high as 80m euros with add-ons. He's not even an out and out striker. I've seen him play on the wing quite a bit.

De Gea to Madrid papers got to LFP office at 00:01 Deadline day is awesome

Crazy! I wonder if the clubs will appeal.

More like 0:29, apparently. Still plenty funny though.

FIFA.
cover up doping and various forms of corruption? no problemo.
let clubs finalize a transfer 29 minutes past the transfer deadline? can't do.

Chelsea keeps on failing. Everton 3 Chelsea 1.

 

[BigMac]

Amazing, stupendous. Marvelous.

Time to sport that 2007 Everton jersey I got. Doubt I still fit in.

Great stuff.
Naismith was simply fantastic.

Play and enjoy!

Lost at home to Bournemouth and Leicester. Away wins at Liverpool, City and Arsenal. Shocking!

Sounds like Toons needs to go back and rehire one of my favorite managers: Pardew...
