As Paul Pogba kicked Manchester United into an FA Cup Quarter Final birth this morning (AEDT time), Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri is probably brushing off his CV, logging on to Seek and making his way down to the local Centrelink or whatever the English/Italian equivalent is.
The HR department of Chelsea FC AKA: their fans in the stands have indeed informed Sarri that he’s “getting sacked in the morning” for reasons of “you don’t know what you’re doing.”
Chelsea currently sit outside the EPL top four and face Malmo in the Europa League with a 2-1 lead on Friday morning (AU time)
Toowoomba based trainer Ben Currie has had his license suspended after not meeting the satisfaction of the Queensland Racing Integrity Commission.
His charges are related to animal cruelty and the alleged use of shockwave treatment and jiggers.
So far this racing season, Currie has trained more winners than any other trainer in the Sunshine State.
Currie has 10 days to provide welfare for the horses in his care, while other arrangements can be made from the approval of the Chief Stipendiary Steward.
With a proud history of imported players, such of the likes of Irishmen Tadhg Kennelly, Canadian Mike Pyke and Sudanese refugee Aliir Aliir, the Sydney Swans unvaled their newest international recruit in US late night talk show legend – Conan O’Brien. Well not really. O’Brien is currently in Australia filming his Netflix travel show “Conan: Without Borders” and what is a proud tradition of celebrities from overseas meeting AFL teams, O’Brien went all the way, participating in a training session with Swans assistant coach Nick “I SEE IT BUT I DON’T BELIEVE IT” Davis and donned a full Swans kit – jumper, tight shorts, socks and footy boots.

The tall, lanky, pasty skinned US talkshow host was taught how to play Aussie Rules Football to which Davis said O’Brien had potential to be a great ruckman with those “very long, attractive legs.”
Introducing @ConanOBrien to our game and sharing a lot of laughs along the way. Thanks for the visit Conan! #ProudlySydney pic.twitter.com/9Nwck8b3cm

With the AFL launching a mid-season draft this year, it is unknown if the Swans will pick Conan or just do what NBC did and just sign Jay Leno up instead.
