- Ancelotti e la lista nera: "Io mai a Inter, Barça o Atletico" Clubs Ancelotti will never coach
- MIN THE MONEY Mino Raiola earned more money this summer from Paul Pogba, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Henrikh Mkhitaryan sales than Real Madrid pay Cristiano Ronaldo in a year That's one of the reasons why he called Klopp a POS, I think, because Liverpool handed Balotelli to Nice on a free, and Raiola didn't get any transfer money
- Louis van Gaal missed out on Belgium job because of 'boring' preliminary interview To be fair, I don't think LvG would have been a good fit for Belgium either
- Mark Halsey: Professional Game Match Officials Limited denies former referee's lie claims This is getting messy; there are heavy allusions to bigger clubs getting a bly in terms of corners, free kicks, etc, and the referees getting pressure from up on high
- Update: @LukeShaw23 has been withdrawn from the #ThreeLions squad after being rested from training today. Not due to injury, it's just that he didn't 'feel right' and Big Sam didn't want to risk it. Compared to Hodgson who would have made him play to 'test his resolve' this is sensible
- Serie A stars’ contracts now include anti-Juventus clause How did I not see this before?
Long Form Read
For Rome by Francesco Totti Almost poetic, tbh.

England NT
So. John Stones got his big move to a big club and is playing Champions League football. He's come up trumps in his move. Dele Alli has changed his name and Eric Dier watched the country of his heart win the Euros. A lot has changed within the team since Euro 2016!
Shaw's come back! But now he's gone again! Didn't 'feel right', and not wanting to risk it, he was left behind at England camp
Joe Hart got special permission to leave the English camp and travel to Torino to seal his deal. With Forester and Butland out, Hart will be handed the GK duties today. This after his emotional exile from Man City to Torino. Good luck to him
Some of you like Harry Kane. Ugh at Vardy being in this picture, but whatever

Joe Hart looks at Neuer and weeps
Footie confessions
What a prayer! But I feel you, boo
Isco and James should leave RM for playing time, tbh. Zizou is doing the best for him and his team
Koeman's straight talking over Martinez's romance - who trumps? I'd go with Koeman, tbh.
Whoa, is Reus on the mend again?
OP: done. Yo, can we clean up the tags, please? It's really slowing my tagging down. There are like, 4 tags for the 2010 world cup for example
