    ......unmarked, non-sequential bills. You'd struggle with an envelope to put it in.

    This is £0.5m in cash in £50 notes...................

    It's not the first time player power has been an issue at Los Ladrones.

    Back in the tail end of the Galacticos era there were a lot of stories about Raul, Fat Ronaldo and Roberto Carlos running the dressing room where they spent three years undermining a string of managers while winning precisely nothing - and it was only when Fabio Capello came in that the issue was sorted, with Ronaldo and Roberto Carlos swiftly jettisoned, all because Capello had authority that the five coaches that came before him didn't.

    Fast forward to the present day and Los Ladrones are little more than The Cult of the Oily Rat and have been that way for a good four years at this point, yet it's pretty obvious the club has no interest in sorting this out and prefers to appease their most valuable toddler.

    I'm worried about Fat Sam if he takes the Everton job. All those chip butties may harm his health......

    From the BBC...........

    Joselu is down in a heap, and, ooof, ouch indeed! Nick Pope clears downfield, Joselu charges him down and the keeper follows through, kicking the striker right in the Val Kilmers.

    Why does everyone find that so funny?! Even Rafa is chuckling away in the dugout.

    Years ago, I was proudly pushing my young daughter round a supermarket. She was sitting in the child seat at the front of the trolley, facing me, as is the design of those seats. She was 2 or so and was chatting and singing away to herself as young kids do. Mrs B was actually doing something useful and putting produce into the trolley.

    Having turned away from me for a couple of seconds, she turned back to find me missing. In fact, I was on the floor of the shop struggling to breathe and cradling my black and blue genitals as my daughter had decided to kick her legs in time with the song she was singing. A direct hit was scored which felled me like the mighty fallen oak. The lovely Mrs B has never laughed so much in her entire life and said it was the funniest thing ever. She nearly needed to be given oxygen from laughing so hard.

    It would appear that there definitely is something about seeing it happen to someone else..........even if you love them. Over a decade later, she'll occasionally laugh about it.

    Would Dyche really want to move to Goodison though? Up to 7th in the table with yet another clean sheet in the airing cupboard. He fits Burnley hand in glove and has very much built that squad from scratch in his admittedly gruff image.

    The Everton squad, by contrast, is short on real grafters and well-stocked with the kind of people Dyche probably used to bogwash when he was at school.

    I hope we play Newcastle on a Monday evening as they've lost their last 10 away on Mondays.

    Tad harsh Luke.

    In fairness his oiliness has been consistently delivering
    on-pitch to save the get real Madrid board from the plasticos.

    The moment that stops then it will be a whole different game
    (were the players you named that Capello purged, on the
    wane + the club were winning SFA when he arrived etc) .

    It's probably one of those "patterns" that aren't really patterns that pundits love to bring up as if there's some mystical force preventing Newcastle winning on a Monday (or some equally strange occurrence). At the end of any normal distribution there are strange things that happen, just not that often. That's "normal" too!

    I had a similar experience, but instead of a child it was a very small super ball (one for the teenagers) that was gently lobbed to me. I was was laying down, didn't see it and it struck in the "sweet" spot. Absolute agony.

    Gary Neville has defended an obnoxious master of tedium by comparing him to...another obnoxious master of tedium.

    Having said the above, you can have a really good night out in Newcastle on a Sunday and as a consequence, be much the worse for wear on a Monday.

    Is this about him comparing Mourinho to Floyd Mayweather in using negative tactics to grind opponents down?
