    Tottenham an example of how fast one of the world’s wealthiest clubs can unravel when it thinks expertise is expendable and status locked in. Complacency at the top. vacuum of leadership. lack of quality on the pitch. How Spurs got lost @TimesSport thetimes.com/article/c12872…

    Really don't think it's any exaggeration to say Real Madrid would have sacked Solskjaer five times by now.

    Four Barca youngsters have now scored first La Liga goals this season - Mingueza (21), Ilaix (18), Trincao (21) and Dest (20) - all of them assisted by Messi (33).

    Azpilicueta very measured in press, said #ESP should draw inspiration from how Chelsea won the UCL. "It's not how you start, it's how you finish. People said we were dead, that we were out of the UCL, out of the race for the top four. People write you off but you never give up."

    Carlos Cuesta started out with Atletico's u9s after sending out messages on Twitter offering to put out the cones. At one club, they were so blown away by Cuesta's sessions, they said he'd be a head coach before he was 30. So at 29, he's off to Parma. thetimes.com/article/7bc2c6…

    Pochettino in 2017: "I always say to him, ‘Mousa, when I write my book you will be one of the five geniuses I have been lucky enough to meet'. Maradona, Ronaldinho, Okocha, De la Pena and Mousa Dembele."

    #thfc a point off the top of the Premier League and top of their group in the Champions League. Best Premier League total ever after 10 games and 10 wins from 10 at home now under Conte. And still haven’t really got out of second gear.

    Griezmann's best night for Barcelona and it hasn't come out of the blue, he's been really, really good for a while now.

    Messi situation was fixable then Barca failed to speak to him personally, refused immediate elections, hired a middling coach, indicated closest teammates were transferable and had his best friend find out through the media he was done. Did they even want to fix it?

    I wish Messi had said he'd play for free. Just one year. And that he won the UCL playing for free. He didn't have to and Barca didn't deserve it, but imagine how good it would have been. Instead, PSG.

    Carlos Cuesta got his first job at Atletico from a Twitter message: “If you need someone to put out the cones, I’m here.” Now he’s Arteta’s assistant & something of a coaching wonderkid. On the 27yo from Mallorca becoming the talk of the training ground thetimes.co.uk/article/7bc2c6…

    Bale's agent Jonathan Barnett not happy with Zidane's comments. On whether a deal is close for Bale to leave RM, he says: "We are working on it." On Zidane: "Zidane is a disgrace, he shows no respect for a player that has done so much for Real Madrid."
