... and in Other Football News

I’d love to know why Blatter and Platini aren’t in jail.

 

Me too, they were convicted in Switzerland but then got the conviction overturned on appeal, an absolute travesty of justice, they should be in jail.

Blatter said in this documentary he didn't know of the blatant corruption with this Jack Warner and Chuck Blazier were carrying on. But FIFA sent money to these guys' personal accounts said to be used for projects to build new pitches and facilities in the Caribbean, they were never done these projects and money just disappeared. Why didn't Blatter and his cohorts check up why these projects were never done and where the money went? Because he knew from the beginning it was money to buy votes to keep him in the job. Corrupt as ****.

 

Ironic that one of the sheds says love.

 

Fuming.

 

They say 'time is a healer'. It must be. I'd forgotten about us going 28 games (!!!) without a win!! Imagine that now?

 

I've just binged watched it John and couldn't believe what I was watching.

 

Not such a bad lad

Jack Grealish sweetly details his close relatonship with sister Hollie

Letters: Reading the letter aloud, the Manchester City player read: 'To Jack, My name is Finlay and I am 11 years old. I am a huge Man City fan and England Fan. I have cerebral palsy and I saw hat your sister has cerebral palsy too

Jesting that the youngster would have to invite him round for a game, the video then showed Finlay reading a letter that the footballer wrote back in reply, alongside a signed football shirt.

The pair then met one another - with Finlay running up to give his idol a hug, as Jack sad: 'I just want to say a big thank you for your letter that you wrote for me, it really touched me.'

Jack has spoken previously on his relationship with younger sister Hollie, taking to Instagram on her birthday to gush: 'Keep being you and the happy little girl you are'.

Looks like it could be quite a lively neighbourhood after the final whistles...

 

Even more lively if some dock worker loads the wrong containers.

 

Looks like a posh Butlin's at Filey.

Where did it all go wrong?

 

Former Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa has spoken to Bournemouth about their vacant manager's job.

Bielsa, 67, has emerged as a viable candidate to take over on a permanent basis from Scott Parker, who was sacked after just four matches this season.

Gary O'Neil has been doing the job on an interim basis since August.

After a six-game unbeaten run, the Cherries have lost their past four top-flight games and are now just a point and a place above the relegation zone.

O'Neil could still get the job but Bielsa would be a glamour choice for a club about to enter into a new era when Bill Foley's takeover goes through.

The Argentine is still revered by Leeds fans for the job he did at Elland Road, even though the club were on a downward spiral when he was sacked in February.

He joined Leeds in 2018 and oversaw their return to the Premier League after a 16-year absence, finishing ninth in their first season back in the top flight.

Leeds had finished mid-table in the Championship in six of the previous seven seasons before Bielsa's arrival.

Before moving to the Premier League, Biela had managed in France, Italy, Spain and Argentina, as well as managing Chile for four years between 2007 and 2011.

Bournemouth are expected to make a decision in the early stages of the World Cup break.

 

Man City 1

• Foden (45'+1minutes)

Brentford 2

• Toney (16'minutes, 90'+8)

 

I've just read that Coldplay will play at Old Trafford in December.

I've put £20 on them to win...

 

On Man Utd?

 

What a good goal this is.

 

Best bit of all, he got to shag Shakira.
