- Spanish league want to take FIFA to court to stop World Cup expanding to 48 teams. La Liga say they weren't consulted on unacceptable plan okay
- Morgan Schneiderlin set to finalise £22m move from Man Utd to Everton Found his level after all
- Jose Mourinho ensures Sir Alex Ferguson influence endures at Manchester United I have no truck with Man United, but this made me go 'ahhh'. Sir Alex Ferguson must love him some Portuguese!
- Bournemouth enquire about taking Chelsea captain John Terry on loan If you don't ask, you don't get. Ake got called up by Chelsea, and supposedly Chelsea want to keep Bournemouth on side. The Chinese seem to like Terry though...
Miscellaneous
Arsenal signs an English non league player named Cohen Bramall. Bramall was made redundant at his car factory job, and got a contract with Arsenal. Happy for him, hope it works out at Arsenal. According to a Mansfield scout (fourth tier scout), he's quick, good left foot, but he didn't stand out
Jenke Johanssen got signed to Brentford. He's Garrincha's grandkid
James is a tattoo artist now?
EFL Cup
Manchester United 2 - 0 Hull
Rooney is seeking his 250th goal for Man United
I don't know why Silva (Hull coach) took on this job. Hull is riddled by injuries, the owners want to sell the club, and the players they've bought in the summer haven't strengthend the side much (I love you Ryan Mason, but no)
Oh, Mhiki your midfield skills are so fine
Hull had a good effort for the first 45 mins, holding Man United at bay! So Mourinho had to make changes
So, that's what Silva looks like (the new Hull coach). I knew he was Portuguese, didn't know that he spoke English so well
Copa Del Rey
Atletico de Madrid 2- 3 Las Palmas (Agg 4- 3)
According to match reports, ATM were two up and let their lead slip?
A late goal by ATM sealed their passage through!
OP: Done. Cheers, jeers, etc. You know the drill.
