Marcelo Bielsa's Approach May Be Unorthodox, But it's Also Bloody Brilliant

When Marcelo Bielsa arrived in West Yorkshire, the radical nature of the appointment was made abundantly clear as the side were ordered to strip the club's training ground of litter for three hours.

David de Gea's Calamitous Mistakes for Man Utd & Spain - Ranked

nked Oh, David de Gea. What has happened? The Spaniard had an afternoon to forget on Sunday as he was at fault for at least two (some would even say all three) of Chelsea's goals in the FA Cup semi-final defeat.
