The Special One will be sulking in his hotel room in the full knowledge that the Premier League are going to bring him up on another charge and it is going to cost him some pocket change (usually around £10k or so). If he had been listening to BBC Radio 5 Live’s “606” football phone in, he might have been cheered up by the Liverpool fan from Hartlepool who called in to proclaim that the Scousers were going to do the treble this year and Klopp was going to be manager of the year.
Stupidest Premier League Manager of the Month Award – October The last weekend of the month and Bournemouth make the long trek up to the North East to hand Middlesbrough three points by succumbing 2-0 to their hosts. Interviewed for MOTD afterwards, Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe opined, “The goals we conceded today swung the game.” Snatched it at the last minute... unless someone comes up with something more obvious on MOTD2.
That's one I didn't have. Must add that into the Managers' Excuses Database (No, 1487 for any manager that would like to pull that one out sometime)
BARRACK-ROOM LAWYER MODE ON It does not matter what political tendencies you support, you must agree that at Prime Minister’s Questions on 2nd November, the PM Theresa May articulated the views of Parliament and of the British nation as a whole regarding our wish to commemorate those who laid down their lives in previous conflicts to ensure our freedoms. Friday 11th November 2016 – England v Scotland All English and Scottish players must wear poppy armbands for the game, as should Welsh players in their home game the following day. FIFA cannot sanction any of the home Football Associations for doing so as (a) there is a clear existing precedent for this set when England wore armbands in their 2011 game with Spain; and (b) the Republic of Ireland wore emblems recognising the Easter Rising anniversary earlier in 2016 and no objection was raised. If FIFA do impose sanctions of any description, this matter should immediately be referred to the Court of Arbitration in Sport, where those sanctions should rightly be dismissed as unsustainable.

Who would have thought that Sunderland and Hull City would win in the same week? Well done to Paulpowersleftfoot on getting the Tigers’ game exactly right and Exotic Dancer got the right Sunderland result. I cannot see both of them winning in the same week again for the rest of the season. It may be a while before either of them scores twice in a game again.
