Eto'o shrugs off Mourinho comments


Eto'o shrugs off Mourinho comments

Chelsea striker Samuel Eto'o said it will take more than manager Jose Mourinho's comments about his age to put him off his game.

Eto'o, 32, was reportedly angered by suggestions Mourinho made in an interview with Canal Plus that the Cameroon international may be somewhat older than officially stated, while also appearing to question the qualities of his other strikers Fernando Torres and Demba Ba.

The French broadcaster did not transmit the footage along with their main interview with the Portuguese coach but later published it online on Monday, only to remove it later that same day.

'Fast and Furious 7' to Resume Production in April

"Fast and Furious 7" crew is expected to get back to work on set soon. The Hollywood Reporter learns that the James Wan-directed movie which was delayed following Paul Walker's tragic death late last year will resume production in April to meet summer 2015 release date.

The script was reworked following Walker's sudden passing since the movie was still halfway done when the

No More Lieing on a Dog as Talking Dog Device Ready to Hit Market Soon

'No more woof' as headset translate canine thoughts into words
What if your dog could greet you with more than a growl, or announce the reason he's scratching at the door, or even speak out when lied on? 

It sounds absurd and much like the storyline from the Pixar film, “Up,” but Scandinavian scientists are working to develop a headset that could soon allow your furry best friend to speak his mind. 

The Nordic Society for Invention and Discovery is the brains behind “No More Woof” -- technology that aims to distinguish canine thought patterns and then issue them as short sentences via a microphone.

“The brainwaves differ quite a lot from different races as well as individual dogs,” NSID writes on their website. “However it is possible to detect some common patterns and we have no doubt that in the future this technology will open up a vast new era of communication between dogs and humans, or animals in general and humans.”

Little 4-Year-Old Who Crafts Gowns Out of Paper

Suri Cruise may give mom Katie Holmes fashion advice, and North West may have more luxe duds than her mama, Kim Kardashian. But if you ask us, 4-year-old “Mayhem” is the biggest little fashionista of them all.

Using craft paper and tape, the mini designer makes one-of-a-kind dresses (as well as red carpet and runway copies) — and they’re pretty amazing.

Her mother, Angie, tells the Huffington Post that she suggested making a dress out of paper last year and her

Beyonce stops concert to sing Happy Birthday to excited fan

Beyonce Knowles gave a birthday girl at her recent Birmingham concert an unforgettable gift. The "Drunk in Love" singer stopped her show so she could sing "Happy Birthday" to the lucky fan named Shehnaz Khan who turned 22 that day.

The star approaches the girl and asks her name before singing "Happy Birthday". After finishing the song, Beyonce returns to the stage and continues the show.

Speaking to the Birmingham Mail of the special gift from Beyonce, Khan said, "Incredible, when is that ever going to happen again!" She explained, "I was wearing a birthday badge, which she noticed early on in the show and she kind of nodded in acknowledgment."

"I can't believe she stopped the show for me. I was leaning over the barrier holding her hand and not realizing the camera was recording, everyone around me was going crazy!" she added.

Mourinho: Chelsea are outsiders in UCL

Mourinho: Chelsea are outsiders in UCL

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has insisted his side are outsiders to lift this season’s Champions League trophy as he prepares for the last-16 clash against Galatasaray in Istanbul.

While Mourinho accepts there is "room for a surprise" in Europe’s elite competition, he suggests Chelsea’s status as Premier League leaders does not make them strong contenders to win the trophy they lifted against the odds in 2012.

“We are not favourites, that’s obvious,” he added, when asked to sum up his side’s hopes of winning this season’s Champions League.

“When a team reaches the quarterfinals, anything is possible. I think this round is a very important round for

UAE Islamic affairs authority warns Muslims against a mission to Mars

Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates -- The Oscar-nominated film "Gravity" traces the harrowing tale of astronaut Ryan Stone after a mission goes horribly wrong. She's lost in space and struggles to try to make her way back to Earth.

"Gravity" is just a film. Imagine a similar real-life scenario: Would there be any chance of survival?

That's a concern for the General Authority of Islamic Affairs & Endowments, or GAIAE, the United Arab Emirates' religious watchdog, for anyone who wishes to travel to Mars. The GAIAE has issued a fatwa, or an official Islamic ruling, to warn Muslims against a Mars mission.

So far, the UAE has supported space travel. Abu Dhabi's Aabar Investments teamed up with Richard

Star Harold Ramis Dies at 69, Stars Pay Tribute

Stars sent condolences on Twitter after actor Harold Ramis, who probably is mostly remembered for his role as Egon Spengler in 1984's "Ghostbusters", passed away at the age of 69. Ramis' agent told BBC that the actor/director/writer passed away from autoimmune inflammatory vasculitis, a rare disease that involves swelling of the blood vessels, on Monday, February 24.

"His creativity, compassion, intelligence, humor and spirit will be missed by all who knew and loved him," his family said in a statement. Ramis, whose directing credits included "Groundhog Day" and "CaddyShack", is survived by his wife Erica, sons Julian and Daniel, daughter Violet and two grandchildren.

United suffer Greek tragedy

United suffer Greek tragedy

Manchester United manager David Moyes admitted he was 'surprised' by his side's desperately disappointing performance as they lost 2-0 against Olympiakos in the Champions League on Tuesday.

United face a huge task to overturn their first leg deficit in the return leg at Old Trafford, with their under-pressure manager accepting full responsibility for a result and performance that sparked fresh speculation over Moyes' long-term future at the club.

"That's the worst we have played in Europe," said an honest Moyes. "It was a really poor performance. We never really got going from the start and we didn't deserve anything because of the way we played.

"We never really got to grips with things and to a man you could hardly pick anybody out. We just didn't perform.

"We came into the game in good form and a good mindset but it just didn't show. I am just surprised. I didn't see that level of performance coming. I just didn't see it.


"I take responsibility. It is my time and I will always front it up. We didn't play well. We have to play better.
"The players are hurting as well. They know how they performed, but there is a team here, that won't change, and we'll stick together."

Justin Bieber's Bodyguard Arrested for Theft in Atlanta

Justin Bieber apparently has just got a new problem. Atlanta Journal Constitution reports that one of his security guards has been arrested for theft in Sandy Springs after he took a paparazzo's camera. The incident took place on Tuesday, February 25.

According to Capt. Steve Rose with Sandy Springs police, at that time Bieber was visiting the Funhouse on Roswell Road. The bodyguard reportedly got into an argument with a member of the paparazzi, who then left. "The security guard and driver followed and then stopped the photographer's car in an adjacent parking lot," the police said in an e-mail.

The bodyguard, Hugo Hesny, allegedly took the paparazzo's camera and they drove away. "The security

Katy Perry's 'Dark Horse' Video Deemed Blasphemous by Muslim Community

The music video for Katy Perry's "Dark Horse" has drawn ire from the Muslim community. Shazad Iqbal from Bradford, England, has launched an online petition asking YouTube to remove the clip, which was debuted last week.

"This petition is lodged in regards to Katy Perry's music video 'Dark Horse'," Iqbal wrote on change.org. "The video is considered as highly controversial to its viewers as a result of its portrayal of blasphemy."

The video doesn't look harmful at all as it mostly features Perry as a queen who uses her power to turn all

Drake Brings Out Rihanna to Sing 'Take Care' During Paris Show

Drake invited a special guest to his "Would You Like a Tour?" show in Paris, France, on Monday night, February 24. The Toronto rapper brought out Rihanna, whom he once dated, to perform their collaboration hit "Take Care" together.

Rocking black hair, RiRi took the stage at the Palais Omnisport de Bercy wearing a white jacket over a black crop top. The two musicians showed off their chemistry as they cozied up to each other while singing their respective lines.

Afterward, Rihanna performed her strip club anthem "Pour It Up" while Drake danced alongside her. Later in the show, Rihanna was seen in the audience and singing along to Drake's "Started From the Bottom". The singer, who turned 26 last week, also posed with supporting act Jhene Aiko backstage.

A day before appearing together onstage, Drake and Rihanna were spotted grabbing a fancy dinner at L'Avenue. According to Daily Mail, they left the famed restaurant separately to hide from photographers.

Drake is currently on his ongoing "Would You Like a Tour?" tour, which was launched following the release of his chart-topping album, "Nothing Was the Same". As for Rihanna, Variety reports that the Bajan singer is recording a concept album based on a new animated movie called "Home", where she lends her voice alongside Steve Martin and Jennifer Lopez.

Return of the King - Didier Drogba to consider Chelsea return

Return of the King - Didier Drogba to consider Chelsea return

Didier Drogba has said he would consider a return to Chelsea if Jose Mourinho came calling for him but suggested he could still extend his Galatasaray contract.

Drogba, who helped Chelsea to become European champions before leaving for Chinese side Shanghai Shenhua in 2012, is set for a reunion with his former club when the Blues visit Istanbul in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie on Wednesday.

The 36-year-old is out of contract in the summer and, asked by the Daily Mail if he could return to the Premier League, he replied: “If, and I say if, by any chance it could happen, it would only be with one team.

“My contract ends this summer and then I will decide what is the best solution for me, but I had a great time

Video: Miley Cyrus Brings Out The Flaming Lips to Sing 'Yoshimi' at L.A. Concert

Miley Cyrus has covered hits by artists like OutKast and Dolly Parton during her "Bangerz" shows. The former Disney star gave fans a special gift by bringing out two members of The Flaming Lips when she covered one of the band's songs at a Los Angeles concert on Saturday night, February 22.

That night's concert happened on the same day the band played their very first show at Oklahoma City's Blue Note Lounge 30 years ago. "I'm so f**king excited. I don't think you guys understand what this means right now. F**K YES," she told the audience before welcoming Wayne Coyne and Steven Drozd to her stage.

They then excited the crowd with the live rendition of The Flaming Lips' "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots Part 1". Cyrus shared the vocal duties with Coyne, who showed off his giant "F**K YEAH" balloon while singing.

The Flaming Lips' arrival wasn't the only surprising thing at the Saturday concert. At the same night, Cyrus was performing "Adore You" when she spotted fellow pop star Katy Perry in the front row and planted a kiss on the "I Kissed a Girl" hitmaker's lips. "I just kissed a girl and I really liked it a lot," Cyrus announced.

Drogba's last stand - Galatasaray vs Chelsea

Drogba's last stand - Galatasaray vs Chelsea

He delivered the decisive strike in five major cup finals during a glorious Chelsea career, yet Didier Drogba was a reluctant participant in what became one of the game’s great fairy-tale romances.

“Honestly, I never wanted to join Chelsea when they came asking or me. I did not want the move, I was not ready for it,” Drogba told me in 2011, as he admitted his chief desire was to remain with his beloved Marseille and become a legend with the French club.

As it turns out, the move to link up with Jose Mourinho’s Blues in 2004 was a life-changing experience for Drogba, as he overcame obstacles aplenty, shed a negative image that haunted him throughout much of his eight years at Chelsea and left England as an enduring sporting icon.


Breathing Space

Breathing Space

Sunday's thrilling 4-3 win over Swansea City at Anfield conjured up memories of those classic victories over Newcastle United by the same scoreline back in the 1990's. Just as in those epic encounters with the Geordies back in the day, Liverpool were breathtaking going forward, slapstick at the back; there were twists and turns aplenty but thankfully it all turned out nicely in the end. Liverpool's last two Premier League games have been incredibly stressful to watch from a fans' point of view, but the neutrals must love tuning into Liverpool matches as you know you're guaranteed goals (at both ends) and you're certainly going to be entertained.

Brendan Rodgers' men are the top scorers in the Premier League now having overhauled Manchester City with this latest four goal salvo, and even with star man Luis Suarez in something of a barren spell (one goal in his last seven now) the goals have continued to flow.

Maria von Trapp, Last 'Sound of Music' Sibling, Dies at 99

Maria von Trapp, the last surviving child of the singing family which served as inspiration behind "The Sound of Music", has passed away. She was 99. Maria's half-brother, Johannes von Trapp, told the Associated Press that the member of Trapp Family Singers passed away on Tuesday, February 18 at her home in Vermont from natural causes.

"She was a lovely woman who was one of the few truly good people. There wasn't a mean or miserable bone in her body. I think everyone who knew her would agree with that. Thank you for your thoughts. Maria had a wonderful life and while we will miss her, the memories of her will live on," he said in a statement.

Atlanta Residents Plan Protest Following Justin Bieber's Reported Move

Some people apparently are not happy after learning that Justin Bieber might live in their neighborhood. The 19-year-old pop star recently was reported eyeing a mansion in Atlanta. Although so far there is no confirmation to the claim, Harold White who lives in Buckhead neighborhood has organized a protest which will take place on Monday, February 24 at 6 A.M.

"We're concerned he'll bring the wrong type of element into a quiet, residential area. It is our position that a person with his means could certainly find a neighborhood more suited to his 'eclectic' lifestyle," he told CNN. White's wife then created a Facebook event to support the plan.

'Green Acres' Star Mary Grace Canfield Dies at 89

Actress Mary Grace Canfield, who probably is mostly remembered for her appearance as Ralph Monroe on TV comedy "Green Acres", has passed away. She was 89. Canfield's daughter Phoebe Alexiades told the Associated Press that her mother passed away on Saturday, February 15 at a Santa Barbara hospice. She suffered from lung cancer prior to her death.

Champions Elect - Chelsea

Champions Elect - Chelsea

Returning captain John Terry bundled in a stoppage-time goal as Chelsea beat Everton 1-0 to consolidate their lead at the top of the Barclays Premier League.

It appeared two points would be dropped by Jose Mourinho's men as an entertaining contest remained goalless until Phil Jagielka was adjudged to have fouled Ramires in the left channel. Frank Lampard's inswinging free-kick was glanced down by Branislav Ivanovic and Terry slid in to score past Tim Howard.

It was a timely intervention from the skipper, who returned following a three-game absence with a gluteal muscle problem. Chelsea had won once in his absence, but they now travel to Galatasaray for the Champions League last-16 first leg with Didier Drogba's side on Wednesday after a morale-boosting victory.

Suarez dreaming of Champions League Play

Suarez dreaming of Champions League Play

Luis Suarez says playing in the Champions League next season with Liverpool would be a dream come true.
Brendan Rodgers’ side are on course to qualify for the competition, as they lie fourth in the Premier League with 12 matches to play.


Suarez, 27, has been key to that push as the league’s leading scorer, having scored 23 goals since returning from suspension in late September.


The Uruguay international went through a turbulent few months in 2013, collecting a 10-match domestic ban for biting Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic in April, and declared publicly during the summer that he wanted to leave.


'Captain America 2' New TV Spot Contains Possible Major Spoiler

'Captain America 2' New TV Spot Contains Possible Major Spoiler

"Captain America: The Winter Soldier" might have given away a major spoiler in its new TV spot. The video shows the titular villain blowing up Nick Fury's car before The Cap is heard saying in a voiceover, "Fury's last words were not to trust anyone."
Samuel L. Jackson plays Nick Fury, while Sebastian Stan stars as the Winter Soldier. Despite teasers that his character may meet his demise in the second "Captain America", Jackson is cast to reprise his role in "Avengers: Age of Ultron".

While the scenario planned for Jackson's Fury is still unclear, it should be noted that Agent Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) was killed as well in "The Avengers" first film, but he was later resurrected for the TV spin-off "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."

Directed by the Russo brothers, the sequel will arrive April 4 in the United States. Chris Evans and Scarlett Johansson reprise their roles as Captain America and Black Widow respectively, while Anthony Mackie is tapped as Falcon.

The upcoming movie will follow The Cap adjusting to the modern life. He meets his sidekick from World War II, but it's not the kind of reunion he hoped for. His old friend, James "Bucky" Barnes, is now turned into a brainwashed assassin.

Arsene Wenger must stick or twist with Ozil

Arsene Wenger must stick or twist with Ozil

Arsenal were not expected to beat Bayern Munich. But circumstances can twist perspective, and as such regrets are had. Mesut Ozil might have a few. Over recent weeks the scrutiny on his performances has intensified, as if it were not already in sharp focus after becoming the club's record signing. It appears, as demonstrated by his timid penalty versus Bayern Munich (so rarely does that stop-start technique seem to work), that he is suffering from a crisis in confidence.

The infamous Arsenal tale of Andrei Arshavin's career, which initially blossomed then withered into the shadows, has been re-whispered, yet that is surely a lazy and hasty comparison to make. Ozil, aged 25 and

How Facebook Can Supercharge WhatsApp

How Facebook Can Supercharge WhatsApp

Just because WhatsApp will “operate independently” doesn’t mean Facebook won’t put its 6,000-employee muscle behind its new acquisition. We’ve heard a lot about how WhatsApp will save Facebook from losing the international messaging war, but sources close to the parent company tell me it actually did a lot to help Instagram. Here are the ways you can expect it to do the same for WhatsApp.

Engineering

How Facebook Can Supercharge WhatsApp
Instagram CTO Mike Krieger apparently wasn’t sleeping much in months before his company was bought by Facebook. In two years, Instagram had grown to 27 million registered iOS users before launching on Android where it picked up 1 million more in the first 24 hours.

Krieger was known to spend late nights fighting server fires to keep Instagram from going down like the Hindenburg. With just a dozen total employees, he didn’t have much help.

 After the acquisition, Krieger could suddenly call on Facebook’s massive, world-class engineering team for help or guidance. When I saw him a few months after the deal, he’d regained his youthful glow and looked like he’d been sleeping more. Now imagine what life’s been like for WhatsApp co-founders Jan Koum and Brian Acton. I’m gonna go on a hunch and say “stressed”. 

Over the past few months their service grew to serve 450 million users with just 32 engineers, each one supporting 14 million people. In Forbes’ profile of Koum, Parmy Olson writes that during his often-missed kickboxing class “Every few minutes Koum sits down for a break, slipping the gloves off and checking for messages from Acton about WhatsApp’s servers.” Well lucky for them, the cavalry has arrived.

WhatsApp will be able to draw on Facebook’s engineering know-how and team if their code breaks or servers stumble. That could help prevent outages and make WhatsApp work even faster, even if it doesn’t get slapped with a Facebook logo or any other design changes.

Recruiting

How Facebook Can Supercharge WhatsApp

At over 6,000 employees and rapidly growing, Facebook knows a lot about recruiting. It’s far from perfect, considering Facebook rejected Koum and Acton when the two applied to work there around 2008, and it’s seen some brain drain since the IPO. Still, the company has feelers out around the world looking for top talent.Facebook can now pitch potential recruits a spot at WhatsApp. Sure, the upside potential is diminished now it’s already been acquired, but Facebook’s HR team can tempt people with the chance to work on an app serving almost a half a billion people.

The Story Behind This Iconic and Viral Ukraine Protest Photo



The protests in Ukraine have taken a deadlier turn this week, and one image in particular has captured the Internet's attention: that of a blood-drenched father and son walking past a Ukrainian officer in riot gear.

Taken by a Reuters freelancer named Vlad Sodel, the photo highlights not only the devastation and violence in Kiev, but also how civilian and government forces have been pitted against each other.

Since the photo was posted online on Tuesday, it has gone viral on Reddit and Twitter, and has gone on to be used at news outlets such as the Atlantic, Business Insider and the New York Daily News to represent the horrors of "Bloody Tuesday."

Kris Jenner unhappy as Kanye takes over Kim Kardashian's career

According to Radaronline Kris Jenner isn't happy That Kanye has taken over Kim's affairs. They report:

Kanye is now totally in charge of Kim’s career and his non-stop wheeling and dealing is leaving Kris out of control, Kanye has managed to get Kim to cut her magazine and media appearances by a shocking level and that’s going directly against Kris’ plan to seize every publicity opportunity offered to her daughters.‘Kanye has ordered Kim to run out the clock on several of her fashion endorsement projects, including the lucrative deal with Sears which she shares with her sisters.His goal is to get people to respect Kim and take her seriously — it’s basically the same kind of thing he did when he was launching his rap career after being known primarily as a producer.’He’s alienating Kris and that’s going to be a long-term problem for him that won’t go away.

The insider claims that Kanye was instrumental in helping Kim announce her latest project – a range of ‘super affordable’ baby clothes, named Kardashian Kids, to be launched in March.

Wenger questions Ozil's penalty style

Wenger questions Ozil's penalty style

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger questioned the penalty style adopted by his German midfielder Mesut Ozil, after he missed a crucial spot kick in Arsenal's 2-0 home defeat to Bayern Munich.

Ozil’s relaxed approach to his eighth-minute attempt allowed his German international colleague Manuel Neuer to palm away with relative ease, and Wenger admitted he is not a fan of the slow-paced approach adopted by his 42.4 million-pound club-record buy.

"I prefer that people run properly at the ball," Wenger told Sky Sports when asked about of Ozil’s penalty technique. "Look, everyone has their own style and you have to respect that there is not one way of penalty taking. He feels comfortable like that, it’s his style."

A dignified Wenger was gracious after defeat, as he suggested the football fates were against his side on a night when they were matching Bayern before a red card for keeper Wojciech Szczesny seven minutes before half-time.

'Guardians of the Galaxy' Full Trailer: Chris Pratt Shows Star-Lord's Hilarious Side

'Guardians of the Galaxy' Full Trailer: Chris Pratt Shows Star-Lord's Hilarious Side
The first full trailer for Marvel's much-awaited superhero film "Guardians of the Galaxy" has finally arrived. Unlike the previous teaser which focuses only on the action scenes, the new and longer video coming out exclusively via "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" highlights some humorous scenes mostly featuring Star-Lord.

The video opens with Peter Quill getting his hands on a mysterious orb artifact, but some people show up pointing guns at him before he could get out of that place. He introduces himself as Star-Lord, only to get a perplexed reaction from his captors. Apparently, the self-proclaimed Lord is not as famous as he thought he was.

While it doesn't offer much info on the plotline, the trailer does give backstories of the whole crew who is portrayed as outlaws. Drax the Destroyer has been in a rampage across the galaxy in his search for vengeance after his family was killed, while Gamora is a soldier/assassin wanted on over a dozen counts of murder.

Rocket Raccoon has, in his criminal record, over 50 charges of vehicular theft and escape from lockup. Then, Groot is on display. He is too tall so he has to look down through the window so people on the other side of the observation room could see his face. He comes in one package with Rocket because he has been traveling as the gunslinger's personal houseplant/muscle.

The last but not least, there is Star-Lord who is wanted mostly for minor assault, public intoxication and fraud. While the pint-sized Raccoon rudely spits on the floor, Quill makes a scene by giving a comical middle-finger gesture and then acting all innocent when the "obscene gesture alert" is set off. "I'm sorry! I didn't know how this machine worked!" he says.
Chris Pratt stars as Star-Lord, Dave Bautista as Drax the Destroyer, and Zoe Saldana as Gamora. Meanwhile, Bradley Cooper voices Rocket Raccoon and Vin Diesel voices Groot. Directed and written by James Gunn, the film will be released in the United States on August 1 in 3D. 



Woman Gets Bullied for Her Beard, So She Shows the World What Real Beauty Looks Like


While her classmates were worrying about getting their period and filling out training bras, 11-year-old Harnaam Kaur was growing a beard.

The now 23-year-old teaching assistant from the U.K. suffers from polycystic ovary sydrome, a condition that can cause excessive hair growth. Middle school hallways aren't the most accepting of places, so when her beard first appeared as a preteen Kaur was understandably distressed.

"The names that people would call me were things like 'beardo' instead of weirdo, 'sheman,' 'shemale'," she said in a video for Barcroft TV. She began waxing twice a week in order to better fit in with the other girls at her school, but the constant scrutiny wore her down. At one point in her teen years she even considered suicide.


But when Kaur turned 16, she was baptized as a Sikh. Following the tenets of her religion, she decided to let her hair grow freely. After briefly caving to pressure from her extended family and shaving the hair off one

Pep Guardiola mind game: You can't dominate against Arsenal
Bayern Munich boss Pep Guardiola is bidding to end an unwanted personal record at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday night when the European champions tackle Arsenal.
A year to the day since a 3-1 win at the same last-16 stage helped secure victory on away goals against Arsenal -- winners of the second leg 2-0 -- Guardiola's men return to the London aiming to take a significant step towards becoming the first side to retain the trophy in the Champions League era.

Former Barcelona boss Guardiola said: "It's my third time as a trainer here to play against Arsenal. I've never won here. I learnt that you can't dominate 90 minutes against Arsenal. It's impossible.

"You can play good, you can dominate during half-time, 30 minutes, 75 minutes, but complete 90 minutes it's impossible. Always you have a problem. We'll try to make a good game, as best as possible; don't think too

Pellegrini - ref was unfair
A furious Manuel Pellegrini accused referee Jonas Eriksson of being biased and deciding the game as 10-man Manchester City lost 2-0 to Barcelona. And the City manager claimed the official should never have been appointed for the game -- because he is from Sweden.

Pellegrini was angry that Eriksson sent off City’s Martin Demichelis and awarded a penalty, which Lionel Messi converted to open the scoring.

Pellegrini - ref was unfair

“The referee did not have any control of the game," Pellegrini said. "He decided for Barcelona from the beginning to the end. I think it was not a good idea to put a referee from Sweden in such an important match

Snapped: Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud was caught in just his underwear by model Celia Kay after meeting her in a hotel hours before a game against Crystal Palace



Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger confirmed that disciplinary action would be taken against Olivier Giroud after he apologised for taking a female companion back to the team hotel.


Married Giroud had consistently denied taking Celia Kay to the Four Seasons Hotel in Canary Wharf the night before the 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace on February 2. The striker had earlier issued a grovelling apology to his wife Jennifer and the Arsenal boss after a picture by the pin-up appeared in a national newspaper.


Wenger said: ‘It is an internal matter but I do not want to comment publicly because I respect his privacy.’

The model took a picture of Giroud in his hotel room wearing just underwear, which can be seen above.

Jose Mourinho: This is Barca's worst side in years

Jose Mourinho has claimed Manchester City will take on 'the worst Barcelona team in for many, many years' when the two teams go head to head in the Champions League on Tuesday.

Former Real Madrid boss Mourinho rarely offers up too many positive comments to offer when the subject of Barcelona is thrust in his direction, but was especially uncomplimentary towards the Catalan giants when handed the chance to give his views of the first leg encounter at the Eithad Stadium between City and Barca.
