Tony Cascarino on C4’s Bad Dog Academy tonight.  I kid you not.

Never knew he worked at Yanited.  Obviously left before the dicking they’re getting on Sunday.

Pepe Reina has announced that he's retiring.

Looks like he's had an early retirement - just got sent off for Como against Inter.

Desperate clickbait.

The incident happened at Viola Park which they probably thought was in B6.

I thought having a kid would have settled Nicò down but sounds like he's a bit of a wrong 'un. Cheap replacement for Ronaldo at Al Nassr. Zaniolo and Durán up front, the men that couldn't be managed.

Non-dm links for people wanting to see what this is about.

Quite conflicting statements as well.

AS Roma announces that, following today’s match, a regrettable incident occurred involving player Nicolò Zaniolo. According to initial reconstructions, the player allegedly entered the Primavera team’s dressing room after the match and engaged in provocative behavior towards some of the Giallorossi youth players. During the confrontation, two players from the Primavera squad were reportedly physically struck. AS Roma cannot but firmly condemn any form of aggressive conduct or behavior that does not align with the values of sport.

At the end of the match I went down to the locker room to congratulate the Fiorentina boys and then I went to the Roma locker room to say hello and congratulate them on the season, but at a certain point they started insulting me so, at that point, to avoid the situation degenerating, I preferred to leave.

Maybe he left like Bart left Lisa's bedroom.

Didn't he make his debut in a game when we beat Liverpool for the first time in ages? 1997 I think but I might wrong about both of those.

[dr.chekov]

Think you're right. 1-0, Ian Taylor goal. Also think Hughes played pretty well.

[dcdavecollett]

Yes.

Hughes came on as a sub at half-time.
