I am tempted to attend just to ask if he will be fit for the fixture this weekend.

And why he was so triggered by fans while watching.

And why he was so triggered by fans while watching.

There were more social media videos that others took and if you put it together it was some bloke who was criticising him for taking the money and faking injuries. His kids were apparently sitting outside the suite. The stadium security and police came to escort him out and someone in the concourse said they saw this bloke whimpering and crying when a club official told him he's getting a lifetime ban from the stadium.

Holy hell, had no idea he was on that much. Ridiculous.

Lifetime ban is pretty harsh.

I was wondering what the qualifications for Ballon D'or were. I thought you have to be in Europe because after Qatar he didn't do too much with PSG and his (short) time at Miami wouldn't have counted but apparently I'm wrong.

Phil Neville sacked from Inter Miami right before Tata Marino, Messi and the Barca and Argentine friends show up. Then he gets a gig as assistant coach for Canada. Now back to manager in MLS for Portland. I wish I had friends who would make up jobs for me when I am looking for work.

The fish rots from the head.

Red Bull must be great for your CV. He went to United because of Rangnick and was assistant coach to the likes of Ronaldo. Then he ended up at Leeds with Jesse Marsch of Red Bull pedigree. Marsch is fired and he is caretaker manager.. Of a Premier League club.
