Former Rosenior's teammate at Hull City, Kevin Kilbane:
🗣️ "I played with Liam at Hull, and I got on well with Liam; he used to tell some great stories of Roy Keane when he was his manager at Ipswich.
And you see the way he is now, to me, he’s unrecognisable to the player and the person I knew. It’s like he’s swallowed a psychologist’s manual or a sporting mentor’s memoir. To me, everything he says is waffle, drivel, nothing.
It’s like he tries to write as many quotes down as possible and tries to get them into a pre-match talk or post-match whenever addressing the media. If I’m a player being asked to do that huddle, I wouldn’t feel comfortable if I was a Chelsea player."

🗣️ Unai Emery: "Chelsea is our opponent, and, of course, it’s a tough match. In Villa Park, we are feeling, overall, really comfortable, playing, showing our form, consistency, except the last matches as we played.
And, of course, we want to recover our good form at home. We were winning a lot of matches in a row, and we were feeling so, so strong."
🚨🗣️🇧🇷 Ronaldinho: "I don't like watching football. I only like watching the best moments; 90 minutes is too much. Unless it's a Final or a derby, a match like that, but if it's not, I don't like it."
"I get nervous. You start thinking: 'How could that guy miss that pass?'. And that's when I start getting angry."
The man who made us ALL fall in love with watching football, doesn't like watching football. 😔😳🇧🇷
OFFICIAL 🚨 UEFA has announced the most severe disciplinary sanction in the history of the Champions League after concluding that José Mourinho's accusations regarding the Real Madrid – Benfica match were fully founded. After an exhaustive investigation, the UEFA president admitted to having found evidence that the refereeing team received “special instructions” to act leniently, including not showing yellow cards to Tchouaméni, Carreras and Huijsen in order to preserve Real Madrid's squad for the second leg. The analysis of internal data and audio recordings confirmed the allegations of alleged fixing indicated by Mourinho, thus restoring justice for the Portuguese coach, who had been sanctioned for denouncing blatant bias that called into question the transparency of European football.
