Most weeks, we bring you updates on Antonio Cassano's latest feud with Jose Mourinho, and this time was no different. This is:
"Mourinho will never touch the soles of Guardiola's boots. When he retires, in three days, no one will remember him. I don't judge him as a person, but as a person. As a coach, he was terrible - still 30 years ago.
Also, did he do well last week? Not really.
About Erling Haaland:
"There are other strikers who know how to play like Lewandowski and Benzema. Haaland doesn't know how to play. He's a great goalscorer, he's phenomenal. But don't you like a striker who can play?
And about Juventus coach Max Allegri:
“His team was always behind the ball, all in defence. He has the national wind and plays terrible. Starting with Allegri next year would be suicide. If making mistakes is human, persistence is the devil.
National wind? No idea. But you get the gist. No love is lost.

“You ask a five-year-old 'what do you want for Christmas?' and they tell you they want a Ferrari. You don't say "oh, that's a good idea", you say "it's too expensive - and you can't drive it anyway".

NUMBERS:
32
That's the number of Premier League goals Erling Haaland has now, just two short of Andy Cole and Alan Shearer's record of 34 (in longer seasons) - and Haaland still has eight games left. Shout.
Madison doesn't trust herself
Few will give poor old Leicester City many scoring opportunities against Manchester City on Saturday, but you wonder if their players could benefit from one of the counter-attacks that the teams usually enjoyed after a player's zero arrival. new manager - in this case Dean Smith, who will stay at the helm until the end of the season after taking over the sacked Brendan Rodgers.
So how much did James Maddison expect him and his teammates to suffer from one of those counterattacks? Hey, he pulled out of his own fantasy team before the game. So not very. Mind you, it's probably wise not to have his own services - according to his stats, he's kept himself under control in 4 of the 31 competitive weeks so far. We can only assume he was injured in all four games - he earned no points. You just hope for Leicester that Smith's managerial skills are sharper.
