There are times watching Guardiola's City when it seems that the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich coach attempts to be too clever for the good of his team and himself. Nobody ever seems to know what they are doing in this City team, and that is perhaps a contributory factor in the problems that they experienced against Everton, when only a second-half equaliser by Raheem Sterling secured a point in a 1-1 draw.

trailblazing tactical pioneer Tony Pulis and Stoke in 08-09 created 53 shots and eight goals off long throws alone. This is a phase of play where the vast majority of teams produce nothing. Stoke produced a shot and a half a game (which was like 15% of their total shots) just from throw-ins during the Rory Delap years.
If you are able to build and execute a long-throw program, it’s the equivalent of magicing free goals out of thin air.

The Sudeva coaches have come off a run of pan-India trials. On a good day elsewhere, they say, between 100 and 150 aspirants show up. Aizawl's 800 leaves them benumbed. The boys are packed onto a single grandstand like spectators at a game. A third age-group has been hurriedly added because there are 6-year-olds staggering around as well. The final breakdown: 213 under-14s, 150 under-13s and 448 under-12s, total 811. "Crazy" says Vijay Hakari, one of Sudeva's co-founders. "This is crazy. We've seen nothing like it."
Leicester soak up the Premier League celebration of the century - ESPN FC
"It's done now," said Everton fan Woods even before the game. "Martinez has had his chance. The press conferences, well, you wonder what game he's watching. Obviously, he's watching a different game from us. He's a nice fella, he really is. But my dad's a nice fella and I wouldn't like him to manage Everton either."
Sevilla’s obsessive manager has his eye on another Europa League title | Football | The Guardian
“In the summer we wanted Gaston Ramírez, but he went to Hull City,” Emery reveals. “We can’t compete economically with Hull City. We pay less, but we compete more. It’s hard to explain that. Ramírez didn’t even reply, he ignored my calls. We had won the Europa League but he didn’t pick up the phone. I don’t know if he is playing, but now we’re in another final. Our fans love this competition.”

“For me, the word I would describe him with is ‘Liverpool’,” said Rodgers of the man about to relocate to Los Angeles. “Not just Liverpool as a football club or Liverpool and the supporters but Liverpool the city ... What he has given to this city, politicians haven’t given to this city. Local hospitals, the charities, all the work he does, it’s unheralded,” heralded Rodgers, as certain London-based football fans also called for continued recognition of the generous donation that Gerrard once made to Demba Ba.
Farewell Jürgen: how Klopp became a legend among Borussia Dortmund fans | Andy Brassell | Football | The Guardian
According to him, he was passed over for the Hamburg job in favour of Martin Jol in 2008 after wearing a tracksuit to the interview. The enduring magic of his reign at Dortmund means he could probably wear shorts for his next one.
African Nations Cup Best XI has a few things wrong with it - ESPN FC
Not only have CAF opted for a strange formation that includes the pioneering deployment of two goalkeepers, two full-backs in the middle of a back three, three wingers, and another winger […] playing through the middle up-front -- they've also included a total of 12 players. To that end, not only is CAF's best XI not the best, it's also not actually XI either. Solid work, chaps!
The Wind-Up: iPads and Smartphones at Football Matches - The Set Pieces
You see those guys in brightly coloured tabards down by the pitch? You know, the ones with cameras that cost more than your car? With telescopic lenses like elephant’s legs? They are photographers. Over the course of the afternoon, they will use all their years of experience and the best equipment on the market to capture the same moments you pursue. And do you know how much it will cost you to own copies of the very best that they can produce? A handful of silver change at the newsagent in the morning.

Renowned socialist Arsène Wenger has asked Alisher Usmanov to show “solidarity” with the Arsenal cause instead of being critical. “When you have something to say to each other, we say it face to face. We don’t need to go to the newspapers,” he told, erm, various newspapers.
