That's OK, gave the team chance to do their laundry and so ended with a clean sheet. 3-0 to the Arsenal.

To help Lazer catch up :))
Jose Mourinho says he is "too young" to consider retirement as he spoke for the first time since he was sacked by Manchester United.

Mourinho, who was appearing as a pundit for Qatar-based broadcaster beIN Sports on its coverage of the Asian Cup, says he still belongs at the top level.

The 55-year-old had not spoken to the media since his dismissal in December.

"I want to coach. I belong to top-level football and [that] is where I am going to be," Mourinho said.

"I am too young, I am in football for a long, long time but I will be 56 in a couple of weeks and am really too young."

He needs to find another team that someone has pushed up near its peak so he can shepherd them safely over the hump and back into decline.

My favourite is “ if you are in the penalty area and aren’t sure what to do, put the ball in the back of the net and we’ll discuss the options later “ ^:)^ ^:)^

I assume he wasn't talking to his goalkeeper at this point.

I’m sure that this will go well :ymdevil:
Roy Keane has returned to Championship club Nottingham Forest as assistant to manager Martin O'Neill.

Keane spent three years as a Forest player before leaving to join Manchester United in 1993 for a then British-record transfer fee of £3.75m.

The 47-year-old worked alongside O'Neill during his five-year spell in charge of the Republic of Ireland, which ended in November.

“Marco Silva is one game away from the sack.

Every time I hear the phrase "in the back of the net" I want to scream

When a goal is scored the ball doesn't actually hit the back of the net; it hits the front of the net.

Yours in pedantry
