Top five Champions League conclusions, 20-21 November Posted: 22 Nov 2012 07:18 AM PST Some Anglocentric lessons Learned from another bad week for English clubs in the Champions League 1. The European stock of Premier League clubs is falling faster than the BBC's. Nearly. After something of a purple patch for English clubs in Europe which saw two winners, six final appearances and numerous semi-final outings for THE BEST [...]

Original Ronaldo does the Gangnam to lose weight Posted: 22 Nov 2012 03:48 AM PST Ok, I can personally guarantee that this will be the last time a version of the Gangnam is featured on here by me unless Ade Akinbiyi and Neville Southall join together as a duet. But the original and greatest R9onaldo has thrown his two cents into the ring with a superb Gangnam Style effort on [...]

Argentinean players guarantee themselves longest ban in world football Posted: 22 Nov 2012 03:01 AM PST Some frankly shocking scenes from Argentina here, as a referee is beaten by Hurrican Arribenos players in an amateur game. The incident started when Hurricane players felt that a Jorge Newbery player was faking. They proceeded to drag the player to his feet, ending in a display of fisticuffs. Leandro Schiavi was sent off for [...]

Michael Bridges has the greatest Movember effort Posted: 22 Nov 2012 02:25 AM PST Michael Owen received a lot of stick last night for his dreadful Mo’, and rightly so. There were hints that he had dyed the offending item or let something die there. Michael Bridges, however, takes no f*cking prisoners. The former Leeds and Sunderland striker, now playing for Newcastle Jets with Emile Heskey, has firstly gone [...]

Jose Mourinho’s impersonation of a tennis line judge (Manchester City 1-1 Real Madrid) Posted: 22 Nov 2012 01:21 AM PST With his keen eye for detail and the ease with which he’s able to draw attention to other people’s faults, Jose Mourinho would probably make a very good tennis line judge. The Real Madrid boss did his best impression of one during last night’s 1-1 draw with Manchester City. If OTP’s memory serves correctly, this [...]

Rafa Benitez joins Chelsea’s managerial carousel, The Simpsons style Posted: 22 Nov 2012 12:56 AM PST This old favourite, the Chelsea managerial carousel, has been revisited to take recent events into account. The Simpson provide their interpretation of Roman Abramovich’s hiring policy. Via @FeintZebra

Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho pours water over translator in press conference Posted: 22 Nov 2012 12:44 AM PST Jose Mourinho’s press conferences are often hilarious, but it’s usually more to do with his dry wit than slapstick humour. After last night’s 1-1 draw with Manchester City it was very much the latter. The Special One first performed an excellent mime of a man who can’t find something (perhaps a bin for his water [...]

Video: Philippe Mexes scores incredible overhead kick (AC Milan vs Anderlecht) Posted: 22 Nov 2012 12:34 AM PST Sure, you expect it from free-scoring, martial art specialist legendary Swedish strikers. But when a rugged French centre-back comes up with an equally glorious overhead kick, it’s arguably even more special. Philippe Mexes scored this beauty for AC Milan against Anderlecht last night. Chest control, bicycle kick, bam! Via 101GG
