Jose Mourinho appears to have entered the “final scene of Scarface” portion of his second stint with Chelsea after yet another loss, this time going down 3-1 at home to Southampton. After the match, he worked a medley of his greatest hits into a lengthy response to his interviewer’s one and only question to him.

Manuel Pellegrini and Brendan Rodgers are losing their minds
We’re only seven matches into the Premier League season and Premier League managers are already going insane. Jose Mourinho’s struggles in this area have been well documented here, but he’s not the only one.
After losing 4-1 to Spurs and conceding first place to Man United, Man City manager Manuel Pellegrini got so worked up that he couldn’t even properly execute a press conference storm-out.
Jose Mourinho would like to make his point about Arsene Wenger being awful again
It’s been a rough week for Arsene Wenger. Though he did get a big midweek win against Spurs in the Capital One Cup, it only came after he lost to Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea yet again last weekend, which was quickly followed by reports of he and his wife getting divorced. So Mourinho has decided to round it out by giving Wenger a familiar kick for not being down enough.
Kolo Toure goes to 9-year-old fan’s house for tea and an interview
Liverpool’s YouTube channel arranged for Kolo Toure to go to a 9-year-old fan’s house for tea and and an interview and the result is delightful.
The interview begins with Kolo serving as goalkeeper to young Isaac’s Christian Benteke in the back garden, then moves into the house for the big question about the key to happiness, the meaning of life, their shared laziness, and Kolo’s fear of all animals. According to Kolo, all animals are scary, but the three scariest are: snakes, lions, and dogs.
Keep in mind that while this whole discussion is taking place, the theme song from Curb Your Enthusiasm is playing, which is absolutely perfect.
Near the end, Kolo and Isaac sing the Kolo/Yaya song at the table and then it concludes with the two doing the dishes. This is official club video content at its finest.
Arsenal fans did some unwanted redecorating at White Hart Lane

Spurs gave Wayne Gretzky a shirt with his name spelled wrong on it
Ice hockey legend Wayne Gretzky was at White Hart Lane for Spurs’ Capital One Cup match against Arsenal, so the club rolled out the red carpet for him. Ledley King even presented him with a personalized No. 99 Spurs shirt with his name on it in front of the cameras.

Claudio Ranieri offers to buy pizza for his players if they keep a clean sheet
Leicester City are off to a surprising undefeated start, second only to Man City in the Premier League, thanks to new manager Claudio Ranieri. Though it’s difficult to find negatives about their five league matches of the season, one area where they could improve is defensively, having allowed seven goals — more than any other club in the top half of the table except for Norwich.
So to try and motivate his players to concede fewer goals, Ranieri has offered an incentive: free pizza.
