Roy Keane launches attack on Everton and the club's weak players
- November 09, 2016
The clubs are looking after themselves. Ireland have been skippered by Toffees' full-back Seamus Coleman in recent matches and Keane has urged the club to show more respect. "So maybe as a club, and it is a brilliant football club, but maybe their players need to toughen up a bit". Suffice to say, the club will be fuming when they hear or read Keane's comments! I've experienced that myself. (more...)

Shaw has to mature physically and mentally at United
- November 09, 2016
His issue with Shaw is probably traced back to the game against Watford where he was singled out for criticism in the lead up to a goal in the 3-1 defeat.

Mourinho was hired to restore some of United s fading lustre after three seasons of underachievement under David Moyes and Van Gaal. (more...)
