Boom. The weekend is back around. The return of the Premier League, the end of the winter break in Europe, but before we get to all the important stuff, let's take a look at the other side of football. From old mysteries finally solved, to training ground secrets, here are 10 things you might have missed this week...
Pie-orities – Nothing is getting in the way of this chap and his Chicken Balti that he spent the whole of half-time queuing for. Not even a worldie winning strike against Liverpool. Get it down ya, son.
The Magic of the FA Cup – This is apparently how Klopp likes his Swiss multi tools: compact and able to fit easily into his pocket. Now if he could just figure out how to make Sergio Aguero disappear...
Sporting Chance – With Man City taking a 9-0 lead in the first-leg of their League Cup semi-final against Burton, it may take nothing short of the actual Jesus for Burton to have any chance of reaching the final. Assuming he can do a shift up top.
Not How It Looked – 24 years after the event, and an old tweet has surfaced, finally revealing the truth behind Eric Cantona's infamous "Kung-Fu" kick. Taking aim at Wayne Hennessey saying that his Hitler salute was just him cupping his mouth to project his voice. K mate.
Dance Like An Egyptian – In some rare behind the scenes footage, we see Mo Salah limbering up before the City game. What you can't see is Mane copying him step for step just off camera.
You Look Like A Clint – Please, please, please be pulled up trousers.
Solskjaer Stories – Marcus Rashford gave an insight into just how Ole Gunnar Solksjaer has turned things round at United with some of his motivational speaking, David Brent style...
Ice Cold – Staying on the United training ground and love him or hate him, Pogba just oozes cool. Doesn't even break stride in his interview.
Last Ditch Defending – Schalke's Salif Sané gives a first-class demo on how to clear the ball off the line. He's obviously been watching John Stones...
Totti Love – Ending as we often do on a touching moment, and visually impaired die-hard AS Roma fan Michela joined the squad as part of the club's ongoing 'Vieni in Trasferta con Noi' ('Come Away with Us') initiative. Nice. That moment when Totti appears, that light, that stance, he's genuinely god-like.
Have a good weekend...
