Just waiting for his reaction to this
Wayne Rooney just signed for Derby County as a player-coach.
Brother: Oh my god. This is my dream. A moron past his prime becoming player-manager.
Me: Ha ha, I was just waiting for your reaction to this.
Large coffee
Wesley Fofana scores, 52nd minute:
Brother: Mr. Todd: MEDIUM COFFEES FOR EVERYONE.
Me: César: Well, I want a LARGE coffee. (Starts wearing a jacket that says LAR on it.)
Brother: I would try and convince the team Azpilicueta means ‘large coffee.’
Me: Anytime he wants something, he should claim Azpilicueta means whatever it is he's asking for.
'Sure, Azpilicueta means dinner omelette.'
'Yeah, did you know Azpilicueta means lifetime contract?'
'Azpilicueta definitely means PLAYER-MANAGER.'
Very actively participating in training
Me: I’ve long had this theory that Lamps secretly sees this job as a player-manager situation and that’s why he took it, because most of the photos I see of him are him very actively participating in training.
Brother: Big whoop. Anyone can score on Willy. Try scoring on three kids.
Which situation is worse?
Brother: I hope he becomes player-manager real quick. I’m okay with player-coach, but it’s not the ideal situation.
Me: In his press conference, he said I'm a player first. Then I started to wonder what would be worse for Derby: for Rooney to be a player first or a coach/manager first?
No take-backsies
Me: Lamps in. 'I will play him all over the pitch.'
Brother: ‘I will play him as player-manager. Wait.’
Me: Kanté: TOO LATE YOU ALREADY SAID IT. NO TAKE-BACKSIES.

Dream situation
My brother sent me this story about a player-manager’s pivotal substitution:
Brother: This is my dream situation. Apparently, this manager [Goran Uzelac] was down 2-0 at half, subbed himself in, scored a hat-trick, and won the game.
Me: He better have been man of the match!
Brother: I hope it went to the assistant who took credit for the sub.
Me: And that assistant? Rui Faria.
Brother: The manager scored a hat-trick, because that’s the number of letters in Rui. It all lines up.
The Best Finish in Football Ever? [VIDEO]
The Best Finish in Football Ever? [VIDEO]
It is hardly that any manager ever managed to do what Mark Bentley did this weekend. Mark works as player-manager at English side Grays Athletic and what he did is never-to-be-forgotten. The Best Football finish Ever?
The player-manager was unhappy how his team played against Hampton & Richmond Borough, and with his team 2-1 down he decided to – sub himself into the game! As a team’s coach, no…
