Jose Mourinho flipped out when physiotherapist Jon Fearn and first team doctor/assistant medical director Eva Carneiro ran onto the pitch late in Chelsea’s 2-2 home draw with Swansea in their season opener to treat Eden Hazard. Mourinho thought they were impulsively costing the team another player as Chelsea desperately sought a winning goal despite playing with 10 men, since Hazard would have to leave the pitch to be treated once they emerged.

After scoring four goals in 28 appearances during his first season at Liverpool, Mario Balotelli has been completely shunned by the club as they try to unload him.

Raheem Sterling thwarts steward’s attempt to protect fans from him

Oxford City score equalizer straight from kick off with incredible shot
Oxford City wasted no time in equalizing after Chelmsford City took a 2-1 lead in the second half of a National League South match, scoring directly from the ensuing kick off.
Making his debut for Oxford City, Grenada international Bradley Bubb laced a perfect shot between the crossbar and the goalkeeper’s outstretched hand before many Chelmsford players even knew the match had been restarted.
That proved to be the final goal of the match, because how can you top that?
Jose Mourinho, Thibaut Courtois, Chelsea medical staff join campaign against Jose Mourinho
Despite being the victim of a vast conspiracy involving everyone from referees to ball boys, Jose Mourinho still led Chelsea to their third Premier League title together and first since his return to the club.

Arsenal players photobomb unsuspecting fans over and over again
Proving Roy Keane wrong when he said that Arsenal players were only interested in selfies, the video above shows that they’re also interested in appearing in other people’s photos too.
As part of the club’s kit launch, pictures of fans wearing their new gear were taken, but what they didn’t know was that a group of their favorite players were hiding behind them, ready to jump out and pose as the photos were being taken.

The fans’ surprise upon realizing what was going on is pretty special.
