All the ball wasn't over all the line, so it wasn't out. The linesman didn't flag or anything (he was clearly looking carefully... the player should have looked at the linesman before picking it up/should have known the whole ball wasn't over all of the line and thus wasn't out of play...

Yes but from that distance quite how he can see that is beyond me. They can't see some blatantly obvious penalties in the Prem but that slight bit of ball not being over the line he can see? We need him!

The ball was moving at snails pace by the time it got to the line. Most penalty incidents happen in a fraction of a second.

Asked whether it is hard to leave John Terry out of the team, Mourinho replies simply: "No."

LOL

Monaco's chairman has confirmed the bonuses in the Martial deal: 10m euros when he reaches 25 goals, another 10m when he reaches 25 caps for France, and a final 10m if he's ranked in the Balon d'Or top ten.

First two are fairly likely but the last was not before he started at United. If he keeps this level for the next 10 years, nevermind improves, he's going to be worth every last penny and more.

He's looking like one of those strikers that terrifies defenses so even when he isn't directly involved in play he's going to be affecting the other teams strategy, ala Suarez etc. He's going to be a star

If they didn't cut out Henry's hand that would have been perfect. Still funny though

Now Jose charged by the FA for his Saturday comments:

BaZ87 · 5 Oct 2015 at 17:41

Fully deserved. They should double whatever punishment he gets for the shameless hypocrisy of his comments too.

Clipsey · 6 Oct 2015 at 17:10

Interesting piece (lots of other images and breakdowns).
Basically, biggest NET spend across the top 4 leagues in Europe over the past 20 years!

Source?

No surprise who the top three are.

planty · 6 Oct 2015 at 17:44

Pretty grim reading for Spurs, Sunderland, Newcastle and Villa fans :eek:

"If the Football Association wants to punish me they can. They don't punish other managers." Mourinho, 3/10/2015.

Jesus...look at Arsenal. Incredible!

Tombstone · 7 Oct 2015 at 15:53

Yeah Arsenals high earnings balances it out nicely. Thing that jumps out at me on that spreadsheet is just how low Bayern Munichs earnings are!

Trusty · 7 Oct 2015 at 16:19

Yea, them and PSG's earnings are pretty low in comparison

That's quite scary when you consider how high City and PSG are on the list. With them being new money clubs and that goes back 20 years!

It was 20 years ago City were relegated to division one
