14 Things We Loved This Weekend: Mourinho, Valencia, Parker, FA Cup drama & more…
Jose Mourinho delivered a perfect putdown, Scott Parker needed a strepsil and there was an FA Cup shoot-out in the fog. Just another weekend on Planet Football.
The Premier League delivered too, with another Goal of the Season contender and one manager joining in the celebrations.
Here are 13 things we loved over the last weekend before November’s international break.
Diego Gomez
Another screamer from a modern-day Barclaysman.
Unai Emery
Box office whenever he’s rattled.
Foggy penalty shoot-outs
These radio commentators are consummate professionals.
Thierno Barry
Fast becoming one of our favourite players. Definitely one of the best Barrys.
Oliver Glasner
Somebody’s been watching Mourinho documentaries.
James McAtee
Great stuff.
Jose Mourinho
Brutal.
José Mourinho on what he said to Valencia manager Javier Aguirre after the match: “Don’t be sad, because my players are much better than yours. The problem is not Aguirre. The truth is that Real Madrid’s players are very good.” by u/antoniok95 in soccer
Cardiff City 5-4 Burnley
What a way to seal a nine-goal thriller.

The best player Leeds have had since Raphinha.

Mascot minute silence
It’s the most wonderful time of the year.
Enner Valencia
A title-winning goal for Boca Juniors, some longevity.
Scott Parker
Three days at West Ham and he sounds like Dyche.
Alex Hernandez
Pick that one out.

Saved the best until last.
