Roberto Martínez Was Really Getting It In At The Jason Derulo Concert
Everton manager Roberto Martínez is young and hip. It’s no surprise, then, to see him turn up at a Jason Derulo concert in Manchester last night and, well, turn up. Maybe also not that surprising: Martínez’s dance moves aren’t exactly the sharpest:...
Anthony Martial Is Manchester United's Best Player, And That's Their Problem

Counterpoint: Oh God, I Think I'm Going To Be Sick
Here, as best I can approximate it in text, is the sound I made when I saw the above photo for the first time: Whuuhhuuhuhhhhhhuulckk. It was the sound of the sudden fear that I might puke.
