Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has been charged with improper conduct by the FA. The Old Trafford boss was dismissed from the dugout in the first half of his side's home 1-1 draw with West Ham on Sunday.

It was only two summers ago that the Nigerian international extended his Chelsea contract on the final day of the transfer window and was immediately loaned to West Ham just moments later. Social media had a field day.

Across the pond and hours apart in time difference but LA Galaxy's Ashley Cole, formerly of Chelsea, could not resist the urge to watch a London derby of his former side against rivals Tottenham.

Omeruo extended his contract at Chelsea in the summer until 2019, before being sent out on loan to Turkish Super Lig side, Alanyaspor. Over the weekend, he was honoured with the Sports Personality award in the African Entertainment Awards, Turkey. Congratulations to him!

Zlatan Ibrahimovic who signed a 1-year contract and an option of a second at Manchester United last summer was addressing his future after the current season when he made the very Zlatanic statement during the week, while suggesting he would take up his next laying challenge in the MLS.

There is always that extra feeling the weekend brings with it when league football is on and am feeling it!

Lol...

Football, Money, Lots of Money. Celebrity status. It would simply defy nature for sex not to be in the mix. People in this category, especially in the premier league may find it somewhat easier to get their hands on whoever they want.

Cristiano:"After the Euro final when I was on holiday in Miami,I met Griezmann in a restaurant. He came over & said: 'Cristiano,I hate you!'

Samir Nasri on loan at Spanish highfliers Sevilla recently revealed that the coach of his parent club, Pep Guardiola, banned his players from having sex after 12 midnight. All intending action must come before the hour hand strikes 12am.

Well... They have qualified for the last 16 stage as leaders of their group ahead of FC Porto with one game left to play. They have four wins and one draw in five games. In the league, they are doing a terrible job f defending their title as they sit 14th - 12 points from 12 games. They have suffered 6 defeats accompanied by 3 draws and 3 wins.

Mario Balotelli, when last did we hear about his behavior? Seems a while. He just would not be himself if he didn't think up some weird and outlandish idea every now and then.

The 29-year-old sister of Super Eagles international, Sone Aluko, scored an unmatched 9 goals in 16 appearances, 1 ahead of next best Jane Ross of Manchester City Women. Aluko also had the most shots during the season. Manchester City Ladies won the title by 5 points at 42 ahead of last year's champions Chelsea ladies in the 9-team tournament.
