If you're not striving to improve, you'll end up going backwards.

Don't you realise this was the final straw

All year Messi had asked for the train set. He had been good all year, done his chores, walked the dogs, carried the team through multiple games.

When the day finally came, Messi ran downstairs early to see a big present under the tree. He tore open the paper with reckless abandon...

When he saw what was under there a single tear rolled down his cheek. Now he knew what Yaya had told him

Suddenly, a large gold plated Rolls Royce appeared outside his house and out stepped a man dressed it white robes with a train set under one arm, and a contract in the other.

Pep was super-jelly of Pique and Zlatan Sharika

Gerard Pique posted:

The 34-year-old centre-back also revealed that his relationship with Pep Guardiola went through a serious crisis after Pique began dating his current wife Shakira.

"We reached an important point of tension with [Guardiola], and with the dressing room in general," declared Pique.

The [Jose] Mourinho issue wore us out a lot. Pep wants absolute control of everything that happens.

"I start dating Shakira and the relationship with him changes. Now the relationship with [Guardiola] is perfect. I had a lot of pressure and if there was one moment I was thinking of leaving it was in 2011/12."

There’s already reports in Italian media that Conte and Pirlo are on a shortlist. Both would be insane to take the job for different reasons.

Oh ok, he did retire as a player and got his coaching badges pretty quick. Juventus appointed him as head coach of their u23 side who are a full fledged team playing in Serie C, everyone thought this was a good idea. Three days later they sacked Maurizio Sarri from the first team and appointed Pirlo as manager, everyone thought this was a bad idea. He struggled as one would expect and barely qualified for the CL, largely only because Napoli were imploding. Everyone knew he would be fired as soon as the season was over, and he was.

Now why he would be in the shortlist for any big team job is anyone’s guess. It’s just media bullshit is my guess.

Benz is in unreal form right now, 8 goals and 7 assists in 6 games this season.

Also, poor Asensio finally scored a hat trick, but it was against his old/hometown team
