    In case you missed it earlier....

    Former Brazil midfielder Ronaldinho has left Fluminense after spending just over two months and playing only nine games for the Rio de Janeiro club.

    The 35-year-old had struggled to get match fit, failed to score a goal and produced only flashes of the talent that made him one of the world's top players when he was in his early 20s.

    Fluminense said that they had agreed to part company with Ronaldinho in an "amicable manner and by mutual agreement".

    Turns out Manuel Pellegrini didn't forget his passport, he just picked up the wrong one.

    Manchester City arrived at the airport earlier today before their 15:15 BST flight and the manager jumped straight into a taxi after disembarking the team coach, before returning to the airport 35 minutes later.

  5. Advantage Olympiakos?published at 18:37

    Arsenal v Olympiakos (Tue, 19:45 BST)

    Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger believes Olympiakos are helped in their Champions League campaign by the lack of competition in their own league.

    Olympiakos have won the Greek title for the past five seasons and have won all their domestic league games so far.

    Wenger

    "They are a team with a big advantage. They dominate their league easily at the moment so they can prepare for these kind of games," said Wenger.

    Arsenal have won their last two games, at Tottenham and Leicester.

    Midfielders Mathieu Flamini (hamstring) and Mikel Arteta (dead leg) are ruled out, while forward Olivier Giroud serves a one-match ban following his red card in Arsenal's opening defeat at Dinamo Zagreb.

    Defender Gabriel is also available following a one-match domestic suspension but Jack Wilshere, Danny Welbeck and Tomas Rosicky all remain out.

    Olympiakos midfielder Luka Milivojevic is suspended following his dismissal against Dnipro in last season's Europa League. Defender Manuel da Costa is also out with a knee injury.

    Stoke City chief executive Tony Scholes is hopeful the situation with Jonathan Walters' contract can be resolved.

    The two parties have failed to agree terms on a new deal, and the Irish forward handed in a transfer request last month.

    Scholes told Sport at Six on BBC Radio Stoke: "It would be fantastic if we can sort something out, I think players will always want what they think they`re worth and I understand that.

    "At the moment we can`t agree on the length of the contract."

    Rooney - The man behind the goalspublished at 18:21

    5 October, BBC One

    Wayne Rooney says Fabio Capello's reign as England boss ranks as the biggest disappointment of his international career.

    The striker has played under four permanent England managers - Sven-Goran Eriksson, Steve McClaren, Fabio Capello and current boss Roy Hodgson.

    The Italian was in charge of the national team for just over four years and took England to the 2010 World Cup finals in South Africa, where the Three Lions won just one of their four games.

    "The one I've been most excited about was Fabio Capello with his record," said Rooney.

    "I just expected more. The time I've enjoyed playing for England most was under Sven and now under Roy. Times in between that I wasn't enjoying it as much as I should've."

    Did you enjoy Everton's last-gasp win at West Brom last night?

    Not as much as Kyle Jordan, who won more than £45,000 on £5 on an accumulator to predict the outcome of six matches, but also for both teams in each to score.

    When Everton trailed 2-0 against West Bromwich Albion in the final match, the 30-year-old thought the game was up.

    But the Toffeemen recovered to win 3-2 and complete Mr Jordan's 9,172-1 bet.

    The oil and gas worker said he could not believe his luck when Everton striker Romelu Lukaku's 84th-minute goal sealed his £45,865 windfall.

    Watford boss Quique Flores might privately welcome an away match this weekend. The Hornets have scored just one goal in four Premier League games at Vicarage Road and have struggled to create chances. Away, they have scored four in three. 

    After Saturday's home defeat by Crystal Palace, Flores said: "We didn't play comfortable, we had problems creating attempts. We tried to play very fast and counter-attack and it was difficult to create a balance."
