Mourinho back in Champions League. I have to admit, I like the idea of it.

Looks like Leicester is going to give it a go.

Everton and Manchester United still keeping their managers for now.

Reports that Pochettino had a clause in his contract where he has to wait to go to another club if and when he was sacked. Might be why no one has moved for him just yet.

"Mane's scoring, all around us,
Kopites singing, having fun,
it's the season, love and understanding,
Merry Christmas, Everton."

Rangers were so desperate to have Morelos finally score against Celtic they had him take a PK in place of their usual PK guy and of course he fluffed it and Celtic held on to a 1-0 Scottish Cup win,... Celtics tenth straight domestic trophy

Looking very likely that Liverpool are going to run away with the league. Rodgers making Leicester look great, Pep probably going to leave after this season I think, wonder where he will go...

We'll talk in four weeks. Eight points ahead of Leicester is nothing when they don't have Europe.

Leicester play City, then Liverpool on Boxing Day later this month. That's going to be a major stretch for the title race.

Liverpool and The Green New Deal seem to be the only thing that can stop City from a Three Peat.

YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH WE WON

They have a tremendously long way to go as a team.

Magnificent performance from Liverpool today. Van Dijk, Keita, Henderson all superb. Back to back clean sheets with Henderson playing the 6.

Up The Mighty Reds.

Yesterday is the kind of game I expected out of Arsenal this year. Not perfect on D, but too talented up front to allow themselves to lose and draw as many times as they have in the league. It's too late for this season, and I don't expect Laca and Auba to stay now, but I do think the young talent is there. Up hill climb for sure, but they can make the right moves for the future...

Red Bull Salzburg's Takumi Minamino will become a Liverpool player in January, subject to passing his medical.

Those two legs of the Champions League group stage, he was the player that impressed me in the first match at Anfield the most. Thus he was the guy I feared most on Tuesday when he had the ball.

Salzburg has a very good squad, but it looks like their two best players will be gone come January. If they were staying, I'd rate them to win Europa League.

"If we play Liverpool, we will eliminate them," Zidane said when asked whether the Reds were the team to avoid. "We can't do anything about the draw."

Very sexy talk.

City fan at office: Nice work winning the Club World Cup against a bunch of sugar farmers from Brazil.

Me: Actually, they were cocoa farmers. Good luck vs Port Vale in the FA Cup.

The Chinese Super League experiment is over. Clubs have now introduced a £49k a week wage cap for foreign players.

Oscar £400k
Hulk £320k
Wistel £300k
Pelle & Lavezzi - £290k
Gyan - £227k
Ramires - £220k
Jackson Martinez & Teixeira £210k a week

All will be looking for moves elsewhere.

Iran has put an $80M bounty on Donald Trump, which is less than what Manchester United paid for Harry Maguire.

United has no direction and it's beautiful to see. Wonder if they are about to end up in the wilderness like Liverpool was for so long.

Their manager is talking about how City playing their full lineup in the League Cup shows how much they respect United.

Bravo was in goal, Aguero sat and if you're a Liverpool fan you'd swear he sounds like Roy did with us.

So I'd say the answer is yes, they're going to the wilderness if they're not there already.

Hes a good player,... very talented, but it is hilarious how much the English media drones on about him. His hype in that regard is nuts.

Agreed. He's English and plays for United.

I'd forgotten that Salah didn't play vs United at Old Trafford earlier this year. Should make a difference at Anfield on Sunday.

Every nation loves that promising youth player that can be the next Messi. Rashford definitely isn't it, but he's still young enough they'll give him time. By time he's 24 or 25 the fans and press will turn on him

Speaking of promising youth players, Gio Reyna promoted to the BVB 1st team full time for the rest of the year after dominating in winter camp

He's english, he's young, he's a stellar athlete, and he is one of the few United players that looks generally competent.

Of course they are going to love him. If his development stops or slows down though yeah he is toast. Then again, I remember when people (myself included) turned on Jordan Henderson and that ended up being a big mistake. Dude is a player.

Who did it better?

I will say, the keeper celebration yesterday is one I'll be telling my grandchildren about. If you get the assist, you get there to celebrate before anyone else.

At Wolves on Thursday. On to the next.

Inter are bidding a shitload of money for Christian Eriksen when his contract expires in five months.

This is truly mental, where this market is now. Watching Harry Maguire on Sunday was proof of that alone, but this?

It's truly mental Levy has accepted the deal and let Lo Celso take the reigns....

But story of Spurs.

Could've had Grealish on the very cheap (and a long list of others) who would've been a steal at 25 mil.

Eriksen wanted out this past summer. If you can get this money now rather than let him walk for free in June, you have to do it.

Inter are crazy for paying this much money for a cup tied player they can have for nothing in five more months. They must be gunning for the Scudetto since they're in distance of Juve for the first time in forever.
