From today's text commentary: Saj is currently sat in a padded room. Rocking backwards and forwards. Whispering the word "Llorente". Crying. Well done Swans. I need you to stay up so that I can go to the Saints away match.

http://www.skysports.com/football/n...-mourinho-charged-with-improper-conduct-by-fa I haven't seen the incident so maybe it was dangerous but to be charged for kicking a water bottle in frustration seems pretty petty to me. Did he hit someone with it? Ignore the fact it's Mourinho.
It was quite a demonstration of anger towards a referee decision. It is written in the rules to include "kicking water bottles" as a crime. So he was in the wrong. plus it is Mourinho who has less points at this stage than both Moyes and Van Gaal did ...
He absolutely punted it down the touchline. Can't tell from the angle if it was aimed at the crowd but certainly had enough power to reach. Imagine a conversion in rugby.
I remember John Gregory booting a Powerade bottle into the Itchen after QPR scored against us back in the Championship days. Hit a woman square in the face. He came over to apologise in fairness, but was met by several blokes racing down the steps to abuse him. 4th official did **** all.
Just a couple of thoughts after mulling over this morning's news. Pardew is due a £5 million payoff if CP sack him. He's made a ruddy good career at being dismissed. Saints, Newcastle and now Palace all looking to boost his gambling money. Jose has a 'secret location' to observe matches from when banned! So Jose, so 10yr old secret agent with a bit of a sulk on.
Does his red Xmas tree send a subliminal message that he wants to return to Saints....where let's face it, Ron, life was good.
