No one enjoyed the Capital One Cup final more than Jose Mourinho
It’s been two years and 10 months since Jose Mourinho last won a non-Super Cup trophy and though this period would simply be known as “June 2012-February 2015” for most managers, it’s been a personal worst for Mourinho. But the Capital One Cup final against Spurs offered him the chance to end the talk of him losing his silver touch. And he made the most of it in every way possible.
Aubameyang and Reus celebrate derby goal by wearing Batman and Robin masks
Borussia Dortmund’s long await run of good form continued with a 3-0 win against rivals Schalke, pushing them to ninth in the table and putting their goal difference back to a neutral position. The four consecutive wins seem to have the players in good spirits again too, as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Marco Reus celebrated Dortmund’s 78th-minute opener by wearing Batman and Robin masks that were stashed in a bag behind the goal.
Robbie Savage proves that if enough people dislike you, you will be allowed to drive as fast as you want
Throughout Robbie Savage’s career as a footballer and now as a pundit on television, radio and in print, he has made it his mission to annoy as many people as humanly possible. He revels in it.

DTotD: Beijing Guoan player sent off for stomping on opponent’s chest
Stomping on someone’s chest is traditionally frowned upon in most human endeavors, yet Beijing Guoan’s Erton Fejzullahu still seemed rather surprised after getting sent off for doing just that in a match against Brisbane Roar.
After Brisbane’s Adam Sarota fell to the ground while trying to keep Fejzullahu from getting to the ball, the Beijing player attempted to take a shortcut over Sarota’s vital organs in reaching his desired destination. But the referee didn’t appreciate this route and pulled out a red card.
This has been the Dirty Tackle of the Day: a chronicling of unfortunate events.
Dimitar Berbatov is…The Continental
Well hello there.
I see you’ve caught me scoring against Arsenal at the Emirates. Yet again. This was an especially satisfying conquest since few people gave Monaco a chance. But like when I pop out of your oversized birthday cake completely nude, we gave them quite the surprise. Ha-HA!
