    Jose Mourinho's comments on Eva Carneiro were inexcusable and possibly defamatory. He also said he 'knew' Hazard wasn't really hurt (read: he admits Hazard was feigning injury). So Hazard can waste time but it's 'naive' of the medical staff to treat a seemingly hurt player? Further, his comments on understanding the game and (if true) the reports of a demotion for Carneiro but only minor changes for Jon Fearn (the physio) give the impression of sexism. Unfortunately this is nothing new for Carneiro given the disgusting chants she has to endure at the Etihad, Old Trafford, the Emirates and other grounds.

    Mo: Greatness is determined by what you do on the international stage. Try and tell to Messi.

    Mark Lynch: Myth - Kane to Man U! Why would we sell our only striker and face of club to a club Levy has refused to sell to in last 5 years?

    Richard: Gerrard, Lampard Ferdinand etc were world class and England's golden era that failed to fufill potential. Always came up short against true world class opposition.  

    Yeah, but what if that goal had gone in Rich? We at least could have lost on penalties...
