One of the more interesting exchanges of Jose Mourinho's news conference came when he was asked to comment on newspaper reports suggesting he would cut short the season-long loan spell of Radamel Falcao, and let the striker return to Monaco in January.

"I speak with Falcao every day," mourinho said. "It's quite strange the press know something I don't know and my club doesn't know."  

Mourinho reveals that he didn't realise Saturday's win over Aston Villa marked his 200th win as manager of Chelsea.

Mourinho says he saw Dinamo's game against Shakhtar Donetsk on Friday on TV, and sent one of his assistants to watch it live.

So to that Chelsea news conference we were talking about.

Manager Jose Mourinho has been talking to the media and begins by saying that the most important thing at this stage of the season is changing results, and winning matches domestically and in Europe.

The gaffer also reveals that Pedro and Loic Remy have little injuries. Mourinho says they are "nothing serious" but not worth taking a risk - meanign the pair won't start tomorrow.

Not content with breaking the England all-time scoring record, Wayne Rooney is not far off smashing the Man United one too.

Newcastle recorded their first league win of the season in spectacular style on Sunday -a 6-2 victory over Norwich.

You know how it is when you're injured during a match.

You just want to be carried gently and quickly off the pitch, then get some treatment.

Well, maybe someone might want to tell that to the physio at Greek Second Division club Ergotelis.

In what has to be video of the day, here they are carrying injured midfielder Leonardo Koutris from the pitch ... dropping him only the two times en route to the touchline. Comedy gold.

Former world number one Luke Donald will host next year's British Masters at The Grove parkland course on the outskirts of London.

 "I was lucky enough to be able to play that event and I'm excited we are going back," Donald told www.europeantour.com., external

Which sporting personality would you choose to run their sport and why?

Glyn Smith: Barry Hearn has reinvigorated flagging sports (Darts & Snooker) so he'd be my pick. Visionary.

Dave W: If you want integrity ask Bobby Charlton to run FIFA for 2 years. He would be elected unopposed.

King Zorba: I'd get Cristiano Ronaldo to run FIFA. There's a man who can look at himself in the mirror.

Oxford United striker Patrick Hoban was once described as a "caged animal" by manager Michael Appleton - and admits he is "chomping at the bit" for regular starts this season.

The Irishman has only begun two games so far for the U's.

"I've got to wait for my chance and hopefully that animal instinct comes out when it does," he told BBC Sport.

For those who haven't followed today's events:

Earlier, Leeds sacked head coach Uwe Rosler after 12 games in charge and have handed Steve Evans a deal until the end of the season.

Rosler, 46, took charge of the Elland Road side in May but Saturday's defeat by Championship leaders Brighton means they are without a home win all season.

More from Leeds owner Massimo Cellino... 

On backing Uwe Rosler in September: "I was sincere when I said that. But I've not slept in the international break and have to make decisions."

Cellino says Evans will have to work with the existing squad. "We have a good team. I like his [Evans] passion, fight and he is determined."

Had a quick word with Massimo Cellino, who says Steve Evans will be on a rolling contract until June after being brought in to replace Uwe Rosler earlier on Monday.

Cellino told me that with Rosler: "It wasn't working. I could not see the team improving. I'm not saying he is a bad coach. He's good but sometimes the coach does not fit at the right time with the team."

Meanwhile, the Birmingham Mail reports, external Sherwood saying he "takes no notice" of the speculation about his future.

West Indies all-rounder Marlon Samuels has once again been reported to the International Cricket Council for a suspect bowling action. 

The 34-year-old, who has previously been banned from bowling in international cricket, was cited during the Windies' first Test defeat to Sri Lanka in Galle over the weekend. 

Samuels must therefore undergo testing within the next fortnight although, as per ICC regulations, he will be able to continue bowling until the results of the investigation are announced. This is the third time Samuels' part-time off-spin has come under scrutiny.
