    Bruce criticises 'ridiculous' clapperspublished at 11:04 GMT 30 October 2017

    Clappers. You either love 'em or hate 'em.

    Steve Bruce is firmly in the hate camp, after they were handed out for free during Aston Villa's goalless draw with Birmingham City on Saturday.

    A number of clappers were thrown at Villa players, and Bruce subsequently questioned the "ridiculous" decision to hand them out for free.

    "Somebody would have been hurt if they had got hit. I don't think they'll do it again. They were tied together with elastic and weighed more than you think," he said.

    Anything Roberto can do I can do betterpublished at 10:48 GMT 30 October 2017

    Pep Guardiola's Manchester City are scoring goals for fun this season.

    After Saturday's 3-2 victory over West Brom, City have now matched their best ever start to a Premier League season, winning 28 points from a possible 30.

    The previous holders? Roberto Mancini's Manchester City side in the 11/12 season, where an infamous 95th minute Sergio Aguero goal clinched the title for them on the final day.

    Does history have a way of repeating itself?

    'Don't speak too much, relax.'

    Jose Mourinho was quick to 'silence' the scrutiny his Man United team had faced after their 1-0 victory over Tottenham.

    Martial's winner against Spurs kept United second, with Mourinho putting his finger to his lips at full time in an attempt to 'relax' the recent criticism United had faced.

    "Relax a little bit, don't be so nervous. Don't be so excited," he said after the match.

    England to ask Fifa for poppy permissionpublished at 10:16 GMT 30 October 2017
    Breaking

    England will request permission from football's world governing body Fifa to wear poppies during the friendly against Germany on Friday, 10 November.

    Fifa turned down their request last year, when England and Scotland asked to wear the poppies during their game at Wembley on Armistice Day.

    According to the rule-making International Football Association Board (IFAB), which includes members of the four British football associations, players cannot wear "political, religious or personal slogans, statements or images".

    It was reported in September that Fifa were set to lift the ban on wearing the poppy.

    'It's crazy we're in a world where people can't be themselves'published at 10:14 GMT 30 October 2017

    This year's edition of Football Manager will feature gay player for the first time.

    The game's director, Miles Jacobson, told BBC Sport: "Part of the reason we decided to do this is because there are gay footballers.

    "I find it weird that it's still a problem in football so we decided to try and show people that coming out isn't a big deal and can be a positive thing.

    "I just think it's crazy that in 2017 we are in a world where people can't be themselves.

    England lift U17 World Cuppublished at 10:10 GMT 30 October 2017

    The story of the weekend was the England Under-17s' coming from 2-0 down to thrash Spain 5-2 and lift the World Cup in Russia.

    A double from Barcelona forward Sergio Gomez put Spain in front, but Rhian Brewster's eighth goal of the tournament and a strike from Morgan Gibbs White brought the sides level.

    Man of the match Phil Foden put England ahead, and slotted in the fifth late on with a neat shot.

    Marc Guehi also got on the scoresheet, prodding home the fourth from close range, as England avenged Spain's victory in the European Championship final back in May.

    Prior to this, England had never gone beyond the quarter-finals in the tournament. A remarkable victory.

    And, finally, the Metro has quotes from a disappointed Southampton boss Mauricio Pellegrino, after the Saints drew 1-1 with Brighton on Sunday. Southampton took the lead in seven minutes but a 52nd minute strike from Glenn Murray meant they were forced to settle with a point.
