Lmao!! Mourinho issues come-and-get-me plea to Man Utd

The former Chelsea manager is keen on an instant
return to football and has reportedly told friends
that he is desperate to replace Louis van Gaal at
Old Trafford
Jose Mourinho has issued a come-and-get-me plea to
Manchester United following the Red Devils’ latest loss,
according to the Sunday Sun .
The Portuguese was sacked by Chelsea last week following
a dismal beginning to the defence of their Premier League
title, but has been heavily linked with a move to Old
Trafford after the pressure further increased on Louis
van Gaal.
United fell to a 2-1 defeat to Norwich City on Saturday,
their third successive loss in all competitions, and the
Dutchman was subjected to vicious boos from the Old
Trafford faithful as he left the dugout after the game.
The Sun claim that a poll run by United fanzine Red Issue
immediately after showed that 80 per cent of fans are in
favour of Van Gaal being sacked and Mourinho replacing
him, and also report that Mourinho told a friend that
“there are some jobs you don’t turn down” after being
informed of the wishes of United’s fans.
Several sections of Old Trafford chanted Mourinho’s name
against Norwich, with United now out of the top-four,
Tottenham replacing them following their 2-0 win over
Southampton.

MUST SEE::: check out what drogba said about chelsea

Jose Mourinho might have gone too far in blasting a Chelsea legend and
fan favorite especially now he needs the fans by his side in the worst era
of his managerial career. One of Chelsea's greatest striker ever, Drogba
at the launch of new book, Commitment, gave an interview to Mirror
Sport in which he claimed the new generation needed to show more
leadership qualities during the club’s crisis.
Drogba said: “Yes, JT (John Terry) is still there but on your own it is
very difficult. Other players have to come up with this mentality, you are
not born with it. You build it. Maybe you have it in you but you build it.”
Reacting to the interview,  Mourinho said;
"When you speak because you want to sell books, I don’t read. I
don’t read. I like good interviews. I like interviews from big guys
like Didier with good journalists, newspapers or television. But
this is not an interview. It was to sell books.
"It doesn’t disappoint me. It was just the reality. It was just to
sell books. I can analyse Didier’s interview with pleasure, but not
Didier selling books.”

See what ronaldinho said about neymar

Barcelona icon, Ronaldinho has named Barcelona attacker, Neymar
as the best player due to his current form.
Neymar, along with Suarez have come into their own with the
Catalans, in Messi’s absence since September.
And with the clasico coming this Saturday, Ronaldinho has named
Neymar the vest ahead of Ronaldo and Messi.
“Neymar, currently on form, is the best player in the world,” the
former Barcelona and AC Milan player told the Daily Mirror.
“His rise has not surprised me at all. Even when he was a kid his
ability was obvious. At the age he is, I still have every belief he
can go on to get better and better,” Ronaldinho continued.
And the Brazilian World Cup winner believes that now Neymar has
reached the top, he can stay at the summit of world football for a
number of years, with Messi and Ronaldo both ageing.
“Now he has reached the level of the best in the world, he can
stay there for five or six years, comfortably,” he added.

Check out david beckham's advice to ronaldo about manchester united deal

Former England captain and Real Madrid star, David Beckham has
advised Cristiano Ronaldo to finish his career at Manchester
United if the Portuguese star decides to leave Real Madrid,
GulfNews reports .
Beckham said, “If he decides to leave Real then, for me personally,
it’s back to United. I never had the opportunity to do that but I’m
proud of the teams I played for after leaving United.
“Obviously given the chance once I’d left United, to have played
for one of the biggest clubs in the world — Real Madrid — that
was a dream. But I’d never advise any player not to return to
United.”
“I’d never advise anyone against coming back to United. I’d have
crawled back if I could,” Beckham, who left Manchester United for
Real Madrid in 2003, added.
Ronaldo has been offered contracts by Chelsea and Paris St
Germain should he decide to say goodbye to the Spanish giants.
Since arriving at the Santiago Bernabeu, the star forward has
scored 326 goals in 315 games to become Madrid’s all-time
leading scorer.
However, Ronaldo’s future continues to be the subject of
speculation.
“Cristiano is such a fans’ favourite — he was so successful at Old
Trafford and such a hard worker. Everyone you talk to that has
played with him, been around his world, he’s not just one of the
most talented players in the game, he’s a hard worker as well,”
Beckham said.

MUST SEE!!! IS MESSI leaving barcelona to join d gu nners???

The Barcelona star is keen on a switch to the
Premier League, with the Gunners his first choice,
but his lofty wage demands look set to put a host
of sides off
Lionel Messi remains keen on a move to the Premier League, with
Arsenal his preferred choice according to the Daily Star .
The Barcelona star is keen to leave Spain behind after his recent
tax issues, and though he would not be adverse to joining any of
England’s biggest sides, the Gunners are his first choice.
However, the Argentina international is demanding £600,000 per
week, which it is claimed would put off even the wealthiest of
clubs.

See what gary nevile said about christiano ronaldo return to england

Gary Neville has cautioned Manchester United not
to sign Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo, instead
urging his former club to move for team-mate
Gareth Bale.
United manager Louis van Gaal is reportedly
interested in bringing one of the Real attackers to
Old Trafford next off-season.
Ronaldo left the Premier League for Spain in 2009
for a then-world record £80million fee before Bale
smashed that figure four years later.
Retired defender Neville is hesitant for United to
make a move for Ronaldo and doubts whether the
Portuguese forward’s return would be a success.
“I am not sure it is such a good thing for Cristiano
to come back,” Neville told The Mirror.
“I’d prefer us to get Gareth Bale and that’s no
disrespect to Cristiano who I think is possibly the
biggest talent I have ever played with – not the
best player I ever played with – but the biggest
talent.
“He is an amazing player and what he did for two
years at United was out of this world and it was a
privilege to be part of it.
“But the idea of coming back as his swansong – it
won’t be the same for him as it was before.”
He added: “He does like warm weather. He likes
the sun and we know that from when he was here.
That’s not a criticism of him, he was just used to
that.
“It will not be the same for him as it was before but
it won’t be the same for us and I am not sure.
“It would be about emotion. And I am not sure
emotion and sport go together really in that way.”

Check out candidates who could take over from jose mourinho


Just months after lifting the title, Chelsea find
themselves at the wrong end of the Premier League
table - this defeat leaves them in 15th place with their
next top flight game at home to Liverpool.
After the game Mourinho refused to the speak to the
press and this red card comes just days after he was
given a £50,000 fine and suspended stadium ban by
the FA after he claimed referees were “afraid to give
penalties to Chelsea” following the 3-1 defeat by
Southampton.
This is Chelsea's fifth league defeat of the season and
the pressure appears to be mounting on Mourinho.
The club did release a public vote of confidence in the
Portuguese, but how long will Roman Abramovich's
famously thin patience last if the results don't pick
up? Or could Mourinho himself walk away?
If he does go, we've picked out five contenders who
could replace The Special One.

Pep Guardiola

The Bayern Munich chief is going to be linked with
every big job going, isn't he?
Manchester United made a move before the David
Moyes era, while Guardiola has been tipped to take
over at both Arsenal and Manchester City in the future.
So of course, Chelsea are going to be taking a look.
Guardiola has showcased his abilities in Spain and
now Germany, with similar success and a move to the
Premier League could well appeal to him.
From one serial winner to another, perhaps?
Odds - 5/2

Carlo Ancelotti

The return of the Italian would certainly raise an
eyebrow or too at Stamford Bridge.
Ancelotti guided Chelsea to a Premier League and FA
Cup double in his first spell in charge before being
sacked in the Goodison Park corridor a year later.
He left Real Madrid in the summer and has since taken
a break from football - although he was linked with the
Liverpool hotseat recently.
Ancelotti has indicated he will return to management
next season but a top job is likely to tempt him.
Chelsea have gone back to what they know before, of
course.
Odds - 7/1

Diego Simeone

The Atletico Madrid boss would definitely be in
demand if he decided it was time for a new challenge
after four-and-a-half years in charge at the Vicente
Calderon.
Simeone won the La Liga title in 2014, breaking Real
Madrid and Barcelona's duopoly in Spain.
He reached the Champions League final in the same
season, with only an injury-time Sergio Ramos header
denying his team a famous win.
Atletico didn't win anything last season, but Simeone
kept them relevant, guiding them to third in La Liga
and a respectable quarter-final berth in the Champions
League.
However, with no disrespect to Atletico, it's
reasonable to assume he has aspirations of managing
one of Europe's elite clubs.
Simeone has a no nonsense style and would take no
prisoners at Stamford Bridge.
Odds - 7/1
John Terry
John Terry: Captain, leader, legend... manager?
Cut John Terry open and you'd see pure Chelsea blue
running all the way through him.
The 'captain, leader, legend' is about as much of a
hero as it's possible to be with the fans, and would
certainly unite them if he was given the top job.
Chelsea do have form in converting players into
bosses - Ruud Gullit and Gianluca Vialli both had a go
- and with his playing time ever more limited this
season, is the time right for JT to move into coaching?
Lack of managerial or coaching experience would
obviously count against him - and would Abramovich
really hand the keys to the manager's office over to a
complete novice?
Odds - 14/1

Antonio Conte

Reports surfaced last week linking Italy manager Conte
with Mourinho's job.
Gazzetta dello Sport reckon Chelsea are interested in
handing the Italy manager the reins at Stamford
Bridge.
Conte burst onto the management scene in Italy when
he guided Bari to the Serie B title in 2009 and almost
did the same with Siena two years later.
The 46-year-old was appointed as manager of
Juventus in 2011 and led them to three consecutive
Serie A successes before resigning in 2014 and taking
charge of the national team shortly after.
His experience - playing and managing - lies solely in
Italy and he would certainly be a left field choice to
succeed Mourinho should he depart.
Odds - 25/1

Gus Poyet

Poyet was given a taste of Premier League
management with Sunderland in October 2013 but was
sacked earlier this year with the club in a relegation
dogfight.
He kept the club in the top flight in the season he
took over but Black Cats board pounced at the chance
to replace him with Dick Adovcaat when the going got
tough once more.
Granted, Sunderland didn't impress in the lead-up to
his departure, but it's probably unfair to judge his
management credentials from his time at a club which
has finished in the bottom half of the table in every
season bar one since their return to the top flight in
2007.
With the resources available at Chelsea, Poyet could
prove himself to be a decent manager, and he'd benefit
from the fans' support due to the time he spent with
the Blues during his playing career.
His inexperience at the top level will more than likely
cost him a shot, though.

Will mourinho return to real madrid..??? Den u gat to see dis

Ramon Calderon says Real Madrid could be open to
bringing Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho back to the
Bernabeu in the future.
“It is not a secret that the current Real Madrid
president has backed Mourinho many times. He
likes him a lot and you can’t rule out seeing him
again on the bench at the Bernabeu,” the former
Real president told talkSPORT.
“I know it seems strange, but if Benitez doesn’t
have a good season and Mourinho gets sacked by
Chelsea, I insist you can’t rule out seeing him here
again.
“I know that the president tried to have him here
instead of Benitez, but Mourinho said he didn’t
want it and that it wasn’t the right time to come
back.”

Bayern Munich Midfielder, Frank Ribery To Sue CNN For $1.5m (See Why)

France and Bayern Munich midfielder Franck Ribery
is seeking $1.5 million in damages from US cable
news channel CNN for using his image in a story
about the death of a woman in a cryotherapy
chamber, his lawyer said on Friday.
CNN ran a story last month,exactly on October 28
about the death of Chelsea Ake-Salvacion, a 24-
year-old American woman who was found dead in
a cryotherapy tank in a Nevada spa.
CNN used a photo showing Franck Ribery’s head
while the footballer used a similar machine, which
many high-level sportsmen often do. An error on
the cable network’s part, as they immediately took
down the picture and post but that was not enough
to stop people from noticing.
“It results from this publication that the
photograph of Mr. Franck Ribery has been a
$$ociated to a woman’s death related to the
cryotherapy treatment,” Ribery’s lawyer Carlo
Alberto Brusa said.
“Mr. Franck Ribery, a world-famous professional
soccer player and former member of the France
national soccer team, has never given his
permission and consent to the use of this
photograph — and therefore of his image — related
to the aforesaid publication.”
Brusa said the use of the photo was an “illegal a
$$ociation, which constitutes an infringement of
the personality rights and the French image right,
is a wrongdoing for which you are responsible and
which obliges you to repair all the damages
suffered by Mr. Franck Ribery and his family
following this morbid publication and the public
reactions provoked”.

See what christiano ronaldo's agent said....

Cristiano Ronaldo’s agent Jorge Mendes expects
the Portugal superstar to retire at Real Madrid,
seemingly ending any hopes Manchester United or
Paris Saint-Germain have of pulling off an
audacious transfer.
Ronaldo’s future in the Spanish capital has been
shrouded in doubt after he reportedly responded
“why not?” when asked by Kicker if he could leave
the club.
United – with whom Ronaldo won three Premier
League titles and the 2008 Champions League –
and Ligue 1 champions PSG have been
heavily linked with the 30-year-old.
However, Mendes appeared to pour cold water on a
possible switch by stating Ronaldo – Madrid’s
record goalscorer – will see out his career with the
Liga giants.
“He is happy at Real Madrid. There is lots of
speculation. Every single day, you have a new
story,” he told Sky Sports.
“If you ask me, Cristiano will finish his career at
Real Madrid, for sure, and he will stay here for
many years because he’s the best and I’m sure
that even at 35 or 36 years old, he will [still] be the
best. He will keep the level.”
Mendes also rubbished any notion that Alex
Ferguson signed Ronaldo for United based on a
friendly played against Sporting CP, stating that
several top teams were interested in the then
teenager.
“In 2003, all the biggest clubs wanted to buy
Cristiano but they wanted to keep him for one more
year at Sporting,” he added. “The only one who
wanted at that time to buy Cristiano, and to bring
him at that time, was Sir Alex Ferguson.
“Not after the game, not to give you the idea that
Cristiano did a fantastic game and that, at the end,
Manchester United decided to buy him – it’s not
true.
“I was with Sir Alex Ferguson the night before and
he told me ‘Jorge, leave it with me. If he comes
with me, he will play at least 50 per cent of the
games’.”

Read The Rant That Earned Mourinho His Stadium Ban [Hottes

The FA has made public the referee’s report into
Mourinho’s antics following Chelsea’s loss to West
Ham.
Mourinho pulled a stunt at halftime of the 2-1 loss
to West Ham and was sent to the stands, his
actions earned him a stadium ban and a £40, 000
fine.
The report has revealed exactly what Mourinho
said and the actions he took that earned him the
red card.
“When myself and my colleagues left the field of
play at half time, as we entered the tunnel area to
get to our dressing room, Mr Mourinho the Chelsea
manager was waiting for us clearly agitated and
began aggressively asking about first-half
decisions,” Moss wrote.
“Rather than publically speak to him I asked him to
step into the entrance of my dressing room
escorted by Simon Sutton, the West Ham United
Security Manager. Mr Mourinho asked me about a
tackle, an offside and a goalline clearance.
“I gave him brief answers to his questions. After
this I asked him to leave the dressing room area.
He refused. I asked him again. After he refused
again I asked Mr Sutton to escort him from the
room.
“At this point Mr Mourinho became very aggressive
and animated. He shouted that you f****** referees
are weak… Wenger is right about you…you are
f****** weak.
“I advised Mr Mourinho not to take his position in
the technical area for the second half due to his
actions.”

Arsene Wenger reveals his biggest fear in life

The Arsenal manager admits looking back at his
career is scary and has revealed his tactic of
reading from a book of prayers before a game is no
longer working
Arsene Wenger has revealed his biggest fear in life
is being late.
In an interview with L’Equipe, the Arsenal manager
was asked about his spitiual side and admits the
prospect of looking back on his career is, at times,
scary.
“I’m always afraid of being late and not to be
ready, not being able to accomplish all that I
planned,” said the 66-year-old.
“My personal relationship with time is scary. To go
back in time, to look behind yourself is equally
staggering.
“First of all, you’re frightened because there is less
to come than the time already spent. If you wallow
with that feeling, it’s definitely scary and
sometimes you feel guilty.”
Wenger was also asked about religion and admits
the tactic of reading from a book of prayers before a
game is no longer in use.
“Unfortunately today, it works less!” said the
Arsenal manager.
“At the same time, fortunately, it means that my
team does not necessarily need God to win.
“The only time possible happiness, it is the
present. The past gives regrets. And future
uncertainties.
“Man quickly realized this and created the religion.
It forgives him what he has done wrong in the past
and told him for the future not to worry.”

Real Madrid F.C release statement supporting Karim Benzema in sex tape extortion case

Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema received the backing
of his club on Thursday, just hours after being charged
in connection with a sex tape extortion case. The 27-
year-old was released by French prosecutors on
Thursday after a blackmail case involving a sex tape
featuring fellow French international Mathieu Valbuena
was brought to the fore.
Despite the player pictured training alone, Real Madrid's
president leapt to the defence of the French
international.
"Real Madrid president, Florentino Perez, held a meeting
with the player in which he gave him his full support
and expressed his confidence that his actions were in
good faith and that he is completely innocent," said a
statement released by the Spanish giants.
"The club values and recognises the professional
commitment, the displays of camaraderie with his team-
mates and the impeccable attitude he has shown as a
core member of the first team squad for the more than
six seasons that he has been a part of Real Madrid."
Real Madrid said that Benzema, who is still recovering
from injury, had trained on his own, jogged and carried
out various exercises.
A source in the French criminal investigation said
Benzema had admitted approaching Valbuena about the
sex tape "on behalf of a childhood friend" who himself
had been contacted by blackmailers in possession of the
tape, who were seeking to extort money.
But Benzema's lawyer said his client was "innocent"..

AM 'I'm tired of all the Messi comparisons' - Cristiano Ronaldo

Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo is tired of comparisons
with Barcelona rival Lionel Messi and understands why
some people must dislike his personality or the ways he
sees football. Speaking ahead of the release of his
personal film "Ronaldo", the FIFA World Player of the
Year told Reuters TV that he is "not a fake person."
"I have my style, he has his style, his own style," he
said of Messi, his greatest rival. "We have to respect
that people compare all the time. And it is normal, we
are compared since we are babies, I don´t mean me and
Messi but all the persons in school. Who is more clever,
who is more fast, it´s normal, it´s part of the life.
"It does not surprise me any more but some times it
makes me tired because it´s always same thing and they
still repeat and repeat, one year, another year, every
year."
Critics say the Portugal forward's celebrations
sometimes have an air of arrogance or egoism about
them. Added to the fact that Ronaldo is never shy to
show his muscles or make defiant gestures after scoring.
He startled the audience at this year's World Player of
the Year award by bellowing "Sim" (yes) into the
microphone after he was announced as the Balloon d'or
2014 winner.
Asked why people may dislike him, Ronaldo said:
"Maybe the way I am, my personality, the way I see
football. I´m not a fake person. It´s normal, it´s part of
the business. No one can control that,"
Ronaldo's film, due to be released on Nov 9, depicts the
striker as a family man and shows how he lives on and
off the pitch.
In a separate interview with the BBC, Ronaldo described
himself as "unbelievable on the pitch."
"I don't need to say 'I'm in the history of football, I'm a
legend'. The numbers say everything," he said.
"I have to say to be in my shoes is not easy. But I'm not
complaining. I just want to say that. I feel happy. All this
happens because of a reason. The reason is I'm
unbelievable inside the pitch."
"This is why the people have so much interest on me.
So it's as simple as that. I'm good, I'm happy, I'm
motivated all the time. I'm very professional and I want
to carry on like that."

Golden Eaglets defeat Mexico, to play U-17 final against Mali

Nigerian Golden Eaglets continued their impressive run
at the ongoing FIFA U-17 World Cup as they defeated
Mexico 4-2 to advance to the final of the Championship.
The Mexican team got the first goal of the game 7
minutes into the game through Magana, before Kelechi
Nwakali got the equalizer in the 35th minute.
Young player Orji Okonkwo put the Golden Eaglets in
front just before the half time break with a well-taken
free-kick as the Eaglets ended the first on a high note.
The Mexicans increased the tempo of the game in the
second half and were rewarded when D. Cortes’s shot
found the back of the net. Osinachi Ebere restored the
Golden Eaglet’s lead before Nigeria’s Victor Osimhen
made it 4 with a penalty to take his goal tally to 9 goals
in the 2015 U-17 World CUP Championship in Chile.
Nigeria will now face Mali in an all African Final on
Sunday.
