Bit late, but how did Clattenburg and his fake hair get the Gladiators gig? He even positions himself so his 2016 CL Final tat is on camera every time he shouts 'Gladiators - Ready'. Prick spoiled my Saturday teatime..

After the defeat to Harrogate, Deeney’s last game in charge after their trip to Mansfield was postponed in midweek, the 35-year-old hit out at his players. He said he would “rather watch Antiques Roadshow” than his side. Deeney lost three and drew three of his six league matches in charge.

Deeney accused Forest Green’s players of being “inmates running the jail” and said there were “too many babies top to bottom”. He hit out at Reece Brown for being late and Fankaty Dabo not being good enough “for five, six, seven, eight nine weeks”. Deeney added: “I have just told him in front of everyone – six months ago that kid had a kick to go to the Premier League. Now he won’t get a game in the National League.”

After defeat to Harrogate, Deeney told BBC Radio Gloucestershire: “We haven’t even hit rock-bottom yet, that’s the worry.”

Of Dabo, Deeney said: “He is faster than everybody on pure ability but he gets ran [past] every game, he never makes a tackle and every time the ball comes to him it looks like he kicks it with his shin pads. That is the reality of it.”

spoiled my Saturday teatime..

1000%. Clattenberg genuinely ruined it for me. Sullying the memory of the great (late? I haven’t checked) John Anderson.

92 and still going strong!

Watching gladiators was quite the madelaine moment for me. (apart from Barney Walsh). Imagine Clattenburg just had to do the shout a few times in the interview and that was it.

29 days in post. Is he the next Clough?*

(*spoiler: he isn't)

He's not even at Nigel's level.

Forest Green were more upset that Deeney told the truth, than with his results!

Bebe!!!

Keeps has had a shocker there.

Gets funnier with every view. It’s literally straight at him.

If I was CAF I'd be looking at suspicious betting patterns and seeing who the keeper has been in contact with this week.

The commentary is so over the top...'what a rocket!, it's like watching a really bad Ronaldo free-kick.

That’s the ‘best’ person between the sticks in a population of 34m.

Bebe to Utd seems like 20 years ago. Amazed he’s still playing, and only 33.

This one a much better strike.

Yes, can't fault the keeper for that.

Trippier to Bayern. Kane is getting the band back together 🎉

White Hartz Lane?
(With apologies to German geography).

Tuchel did say he liked Spurs as a child, so perhaps we should expect even more current/ex-Spurs signings.

Serge Aurier is available.

"Ivan Toney's free-kick shithousery" is a good band name

Interesting furore over this. He only moved it 150mm to the right. He’d have done better to roll it back a yard to get more distance to the wall.

Like Beckham used to do, when the ref had his back turned to speak with the wall.

He only moved it 150mm to the right.

Must have been a small ball then. He moves the ball twice repositioning over a balls width away each time, after the goalkeeper has set his wall as well. He then brushes some of the foam to the side of the ball to help disguise the fact. I.e. cheating.

Moving the refs spray foam marker along at the same time is what elevates it though. And timing it so noone in the wall sees it either.

Matt Turner is a still a travesty of a goalkeeper though.
