If you’ve been wondering what former Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has been up to since Jurgen Klopp presumably wised up and stopped going ’round to his house for advice, the answer is getting engaged in the most touristy and unromantic way possible.
To the delight of assembled reporters and the embarrassment of Juan Mata, Louis van Gaal talked about how he likes to tell his players that they need to be “horny” at a press conference on Wednesday. This is, however, just the latest in a long history of uncomfortable moments involving Louis van Gaal, the only Premier League manager to be referenced in adulterous sex dwarf headlines so far this season.

While his teammates drive themselves to training in Bentleys and Range Rovers, 19-year-old Cameron Borthwick-Jackson got a ride from his mother on Wednesday. In her Volvo.
To score on a goalkeeper is one thing, but to then break his jaw later in the match is just uncalled for. And yet, this is what Carlos Tevez did in Boca Juniors’ 4-1 win over Newell’s Old Boys last weekend.
First things first, yes they just did a Copa America last year and yes they’re holding this special 100th anniversary edition in the United States, a country that has only participated three times and hasn’t been asked back until now after offending CONMEBOL by sending a weak squad that finished dead last in 2007. The answer to all questions that sentence presents is “money.”
The draw for this $pecial Copa America was held in New York on Sunday night and it was immediately decided that the U.S. had yet again landed in the Group of Death™. But is this the truth or just a tired ploy to squeeze pageviews out of an ambivalent American public and manufacture hype before a major tournament? This is where DT’s patented Group O’ Death Scale comes in handy. Let’s put it to use.
Even in the fleeting moments when things go right for Manchester United this season, they still hold nuggets of embarrassment for Louis van Gaal. While attempting to take a sip of water during Man United’s 3-0 win over Shrewsbury Town in the FA Cup, Van Gaal forgot that he also had a pencil in his hand and nearly stabbed himself in the eye with it.
Momentarily stunned by the sneaky self-attack, Van Gaal rubbed his face to make sure he didn’t mark himself up. Naturally, the whole incident was caught on camera and broadcast to everyone watching the match at home.
I know Man United have been tough to watch this season, but this isn’t the answer, Louis. You’re going to need both your eyes to find the door on your way out.
When you want to fully express how much you disagree with someone, you have to be sure you’re speaking their language so there is absolutely no chance of misinterpretation. With that in mind, Trabzonspor’s Salih Dursun picked up the referee’s red card after it was used to notify teammate Luis Cavanda that he had been the third(!) Trabzonspor player sent off and attempted to send the referee off, as well.
When Manuel Pellegrini had to tell his players and the press earlier this month that his Man City contract would not be extended at the end of the season so as to make way for Pep Guardiola, City were still in contention for all four trophies. There was talk of Pellegrini being understandably upset about the situation — having to work the second half of the season as a lame duck manager — but being a humble and dignified man, he didn’t give any public indication of this.
The universe is cruel. This is a fact that Cristiano Ronaldo is keenly aware of. The unrelenting existence of Lionel Messi has been bad enough, but now his own words are being used against him by the cosmos to add insult to inconvenience.
Cheltanham Town’s free kick routine started off strong, with three players running past the ball in attempt to confuse Tranmere. But the actual shot…well, that wasn’t really worth the buildup.
Cheltanham still won 1-0, though. Presumably when this shot re-entered orbit and found its way into Tranmere’s net.
