Eric Dier ran all night against Chelsea on Tuesday, including to the toilet during the middle of the game.
Strange scenes as @ericdier runs off the pitch to the dressing room, followed hastily by Mourinho. Then Dier runs back out to resume playing. Presumably he needed the loo. Players just don’t shit on the pitch anymore. What’s wrong with them?

Meanwhile, his manager took Frank Lampard down a peg with his famously sharp tongue.
Lampard & Mourinho really sniping at one another across the tech areas. 'F—— hell Frank, when you're losing 3-0 you're not standing up here'

Why the soft treatment of media darling Frank Lampard is unsavoury and irritating
This is what football is all about.
Leeds away always reminds me of being called a 'c***' by a guy in his late eighties with no teeth when he saw my scarf outside Elland Road. I was 13.

Do Liverpool need to win domestic cups to show they care?
Fulham’s director of football got a lot of attention, and flak, for airing the club’s business on Twitter.
I apologize to @FulhamFC supporters for our performance tonight. We’ve looked to add centre-backs since Wembley, I’m sorry we haven’t yet as 2 got COVID + we lost a Free we thought was close + had another issue with a 4th CB. I promise players in + better efforts from this squad.

But as long as Fulham’s performances keep leading to spoken word Scott Parker content, then we’re happy.
