Now there’s a headline you wouldn’t expect to read

This season, fans of teams in the Championship, League One and League Two will be able to see weekly highlights of their teams, provided they are willing to stay up until ridiculous o’clock on a Saturday night. The inaugural Football League Show got off to a rousing start at the weekend, when highlights of Torquay’s encounter with Chesterfield were interrupted by an attractive young lady going to the toilet.

The Juventus president has sheepishly admitted that he was forcibly locked in a toilet at the club’s training ground by the aggressive star last week:

“The story of me being locked in the toilet by Tiago is true,” confessed Cobolli Gigli live on Sky Italia television.

“It’s a shame it got out, as this was something I told a friend in confidence. In any case, Alessandro Del Piero responded

Nomadic keeper favours outside of building over toilet

If Mr Carson is trying to work his way back into Rafa’s good books, he probably isn’t going the right way about it. His impression of a drunk outside a kebab shop at 3.30am was caught at Liverpool’s Melwood training ground earlier today.

And yes, that is his finger.
