There are a number of people whose behavior in football probably shouldn't serve as a role model
to children. One of them is Jose Mourinho, since he's often busy behaving like a child. (You know
getting piggybacks and poking people in the eye.)
And yet here he is, getting his own cartoon to nurture our future, the children.
Some perspective please
A fair few years ago a friend's nine-year-old daughter was told by her primary school teacher
that the moon landings were a hoax. He went through the usual items of "proof": the flag not
moving, the shadows not quite right, the astronauts not bouncing right, no sign of the moon buggy
on photos of the moon and so on.

Following on from Man City bigwig Gary Cook's distasteful email cock-up comes the bizarre news
that another cancer-related story seems to have been a total hoax.
It had been widely reported in the media that former Fulham and Sunderland midfielder Steed
Malbranque had recently decided to quit football altogether in order to care for his son, who had
been diagnosed with cancer.
One of the stranger transfer stories yesterday emerged out of Talksport with suggestions that
Spurs had failed in an audacious swoop for Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko. Whether the whole
business was a hoax or not is unclear and it appears that the story isn't accessible from the
station's website.
A fee of £8m for French under 17 international M'Baye Niang may have seemed like a lot of money
so have Spurs taken that into account and really secured the services of a cheaper striker from
South America?
Young Mexican forward Antonio Pedroza claims that a £1m deal has already been agreed between
Spurs and his home club Jaguares and he has had this to say on the subject,
"I can announce that my transfer to Tottenham has been arranged.
Must be a joke, right? A true 'viral'? A hoax? A mature, advanced little person masquerading as
a 9 year old Japanese phenomenon.
No way this is real...right?
We've seen a lot of wunderkinds around these parts, but perhaps none with ball control so silky,
so smooth, so composed.
This photo has been doing the rounds on Twitter this morning and is an apparent occurrence at the
training ground this morning!. I don't know if this is for real or is a hoax but enough is enough
now!
What the hell are we, Liverpool fans for Christ sake!.
I for one didn't want to see anything like this and I think its a disgrace.
