To be fair, what are the chances it isn’t Dean Smith?

But were you around in 2005 when the Portuguese scumbag duo of Mourinho and Carvalho combined to cheat the best Barcelona side of all time out of a last-eight berth with an absolutely shameless display of premeditated off-the-ball rugby tackling?

Holy crap, I just realised that Guardiola not being in the CL next year is a distinct possibility. There’s certainly no shortage of incentives for Pellegrini to sabotage City.

Ah. Thanks.

Sidepoint: Am I right in thinking that it is theoretically possible for England to have six teams in the Champions League next year?

If this doesn’t earn you a deadspin follow then nothing will.

When’s the next op-ed about how Conor McGregor is schooling the UFC coming?

Rule is: Ball touches someone in green + hits sticks + guy in red too far away from his end = guy in red is out.

Have people really not been watching the Patriots over the past few years? I don’t care what the (weak-schedule-based) stats say; this is the worst and softest defense amongst the top 25 teams in the league (maybe rivalled by the Packers). How he can so confidently count on his defense to get a stop having watched…

This took a weird turn.

“hot woman”...”he really had nothing to offer”
