One of the funniest videos doing the rounds is the ex Middlesborough & England manager and current FC Twente manager Steve McLaren, who has seemingly picked up a Dutch accent in his short period at the club

Well in Steve! Soon you’ll be offering people a Schmoke & A Pancake!

The world’s oldest football club - Sheffield FC - along with McDonalds have begun a pioneering Boots for Africa scheme to improve their livelihood of children in some of the poorest parts of the world.

The scheme - launched a few weeks ago - needs people to donate old football boots to the scheme, so they can be sent to children who live in Africa, who have never owned a pair of football boots.

Football brings communities together, and Boots for Africa aims to give children with a love of the beautiful game the opportunity to play the game without the need of getting their feet injured by playing barefoot on rubble.

To find out how to donate, or to become a partner yourself, please check out the links below.

The football team Bournemouth in League Two have been handed a 17 point penalty - according to the BBC. This follows Luton Town’s 30 point penalty, and chances are Rotherham will be penalised a further 17 points. This effectively means that Luton Town are favourites for being relegated from the football league, with Bournemouth and Rotherham competing for survival, as one other team goes down.

It’s a fascinating situation, it should be interesting to see how teams who just beat relegation last year approach this season, as there’s a good chance that they’d be safe. Would Luton resign to the fact they’re relegated and simply prepare for next season, or would they fight tooth and nail to stay up. Only time will tell.

What are your thoughts on this? Fair or unfair?
