Jamie Carragher: Jose Mourinho's achievements are beyond doubt - but his teams will never be loved

Jamie Carragher has hit out at Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho once more - claiming he will never be loved outside of the clubs he managed.

The Blues players appeared to surround the referee during Wednesday's Champions League defeat to Paris Saint-Germain urging him to send off Zlatan Ibrahimovic for his challenge on Oscar. The incident triggered widespread criticism of Mourinho and Chelsea, with Carragher and Sky colleague Graeme Souness scathing about the actions of he players.

The Liverpool legend has continued his verbal assault in his Daily Mail column, saying the Portuguese boss will care about how he is perceived once he retires.

A nun aged 72 has been gang-raped by bandits as she tried to stop them stealing from a convent. The senior sister is in critical condition after she was attacked when up to a dozen attackers who broke in to the building at around 1am this morning.

They tied up several nuns as they began to steal from the Convent of Jesus and Mary School, in Ranaghat, India.

Manchester City’s hopes of defending their Premier League title were dealt a severe blow as they were beaten 1-0 by Burnley at Turf Moor.

The damaging defeat leaves the champions five points behind leaders Chelsea but having played two games more. And they can only have themselves to blame after another sub-standard display against Burnley, who are now just a point from moving out of the relegation zone.

A mother-of-two who had sex with schoolboys at her family home has avoided jail. The former teaching assistant, Emma Webb, 44, romped with the youngsters on the stairs and on her living room floor.

She also lured "inexperienced" boys, aged 15 and 16, into her car for steamy sex sessions in a "disgraceful" abuse of her power, the court heard.

Webb texted the boys, telling them to leave lessons, and would lead them to a deserted maths classroom at a Wokingham school where she performed oral sex on them.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger says Saturday’s 3-0 win over West Ham sets his side up nicely for Tuesday’s Champions League clash with Monaco.

The Gunners were unable to fully capitalise on their first-half superiority at the Emirates but Olivier Giroud scored just before half-time to put them into the lead. They then weathered some West Ham pressure after the break, before Aaron Ramsey and Mathieu Flamini wrapped up the victory with second-half goals.

Wenger does not think a big upset is out of the question in France on Tuesday, although his team face a daunting task, having suffered a 3-1 defeat in the first leg at the Emirates.

Alexis Sanchez insists he did NOT allow friends to secretly film him having sex with his ex-girlfriend.

The Arsenal star was caught at the centre of a sex scandal at the weekend after his ex, Valentina Roth, claimed the Chilean international had knowingly allowed his friends to film them from a wardrobe as they engaged in intercourse.

But Sanchez took to Twitter to deny the claims, both in English and Spanish, insisting that the story is false.

Iraqi forces hope to retake the city of Tikrit from Islamic State (IS) within a week, a commander has told the BBC.

The head of one of the Shia militia brigades fighting alongside government forces said that IS militants still held about 70% of Tikrit's town centre. But he said Tikrit would be "liberated" even if it required street-to-street fighting.

Soldiers and militiamen have reportedly retaken key sites including a police headquarters and a hospital.

Islamic State terrorists have released a sick image of a baby dressed as a fighter with a live grenade balanced on its chest.

In some of their most disturbing propaganda shots to date, a boy of 12 is also seen fighting on the front-line armed with a US-made M16 assault rifle. The images show just how desperate the terror group is to radicalise the next generation of Jihadists - some before they can walk or talk.

Leaders encourage mums to show their infants graphic images of their 'Holy War' and read them bed-times stories about death and destruction in Iraq and Syria.

Lil Wayne is not in love with the coco -- at least when O.T. Genasis is rapping, because Wayne went nuclear at a college concert Thursday night, threw the mic and stormed off stage.

The gig was at Nova Southeastern University. Wayne performed 7 songs before the DJ accidentally played the original O.T. Genasis track. Wayne has a remix of that song on his mixtape in which he disses Cash Money.

Pope Francis has suggested he may resign his papacy like his predecessor, rather than remain at the Vatican for life. The pontiff made the comments during a interview with Mexican television, marking the second anniversary of his election.

"I have the feeling that my pontificate will be brief. Four or five years; I do not know, even two or three," he said.

He praised Pope Benedict's decision to step aside in 2013 as "courageous". "Benedict should not be considered an exception, but an institution. Maybe he will be the only one for a long time, maybe he will not be the only one. But an institutional door has been opened," he told Televisa channel.

Raheem Sterling has shelved contract talks until the end of the season. The 20-year-old forward has told Liverpool he wants to concentrate on helping them finish as high in the Premier League as possible and on their FA Cup run.

But it will be a major concern for the club who were hoping to tie him down to a long term deal in the next few weeks.

Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are watching developments on Sterling whose current £35,000-a-week deal expires in 2017.

The South African government is concerned its nationals may be working as mercenaries in Nigeria in the war against the Boko Haram militant group.

Nigerian government spokesman Mike Omeri told the BBC that foreigners were just training troops in the use of new weapons.

Nigeria has recently bought helicopter gunships and tanks from South Africa and former Soviet Union countries. But the South African government says the men may be involved in fighting.

Tyga appears to have confirmed his romance with Kylie Jenner by posting a snap of the 17-year-old on Instagram, claiming she's 'captured his heart'.

The rapper previously denied being in a relationship with Kim Kardashian's little sister in a radio interview, but he's just completely contradicted himself with this huge hint.

Posting a snap of Kylie dressed up for a ride on the London Eye tonight, he wrote: "Certain things catch your eye, but only few capture the heart."

Louis van Gaal believes Manchester United can still climb above rivals Manchester City and finish second in the Barclays Premier League.

United are five points behind Manuel Pellegrini’s side but have a tricky schedule with games against Tottenham, Liverpool, Chelsea and City at Old Trafford to come over the next few weeks.

Ahead of Sunday’s game with Spurs, van Gaal believes his side can overtake their neighbours and finish behind Premier League leaders Chelsea.

The ongoing cordon and search by troops in Buni Yadi,Gujba Local Government Area of Yobe State has led to the discovery of a Bomb Making factory, where improvised explosive devices (IEDs) used by terrorists were being produced. A large quantity of IEDs including those commonly used by suicide bombers were recovered from the site.

The factory, which was located in a fertilizer company, has also converted some of the materials therein for production of all types of IEDs. Troops are still evacuating the materials which include a large quantity of suicide bomber vests from the facility to their base. It is believed that the heavy calibre bomb used in blowing up the bridge between Damaturu and Buni Yadi was produced in the factory.

Manuel Pellegrini has criticised players who surround referees to influence decisions and has insisted it is not his – nor Manchester City’s – style.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho and Sky Sports pundits Jamie Carragher and Graeme Souness have become embroiled in a war of words over “gamesmanship” – a tactic of influencing referees that Carragher believes is a symptom of Mourinho’s teams.

City boss Pellegrini agrees it is a common theme in football born of the ferocious competition to win, but he insists there is always a “correct” way of doing things.

The second video below shows clearly, two of the robbers and their brand of weapons.

Oscar Pistorius's lawyers have failed to block an appeal by prosecutors against the South African Paralympian's acquittal on murder charges.

He was cleared of murder last year but was sentenced to five years in jail for the lesser charge of culpable homicide.

Prosecutors are seeking a murder conviction after he shot dead his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in 2013.

Director of Media and Publicity of the Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Organisation (PDPPCO), Femi Fani-Kayode has described as baseless and false the claim by Senator Bola Tinubu that the PDP and the Presidency offered him (Tinubu) the position of vice president in an Interim National Government (ING) if he would part company with General Muhammadu Buhari.

The spokesman recalled that the Tinubu Media Office recently said that the PDP and the Presidency tried to fracture the APC by offering Tinubu the position of vice President in an interim government if he would agree to part company with Buhari.

And Low said he is hungry to win more trophies with the national side. He said: "I said yes with my heart and my head. We feel incredibly good working together and we have shared goals. We were crowned world champions and we want to experience that feeling again."

Mourinho(Left) and Carragher(Right)

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has hit back at Sky Sports' Jamie Carragher - claiming he has "a short memory".

Carragher joined Graeme Souness in heavily criticising Chelsea's players during the Champions League last-16 exit to Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday, branding their behavior as "disgraceful".

Nine of Chelsea's outfield players swarmed around the referee following a heavy challenge from Zlatan Ibrahimovic that led to the Swede's sending off - and Carragher said this kind of gamesmanship is a symptom of Mourinho's teams.

President Goodluck Jonathan has admitted that he never had a telephone conversation with King Mohammed VI of Morocco as claimed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Jonathan made the clarification on Friday in a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati.

There is currently an ongoing diplomatic row between Nigeria and Morocco over the telephone conversation between the two leaders.

Russia is planning an international anti-racism summit this year to address the problem before hosting the 2018 World Cup.

The conference follows a report which detailed more than 200 cases of discriminatory behaviour in Russian football in the past two seasons.

The 21-year-old recipient, whose identity is being protected, lost his penis in a botched circumcision.

Doctors in Cape Town said the operation was a success and the patient was happy and healthy. The team said there was extensive discussion about whether the operation, which is not life-saving in the same way as a heart transplant, was ethical.

There have been attempts before, including one in China. Accounts suggested the operation went fine, but the penis was later rejected.

The man was 18 and already sexually active when he had the circumcision. The boy was left with just 1 cm of his original penis.

On Thursday, the late-night host of ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Kimmel, grilled the commander-in-chief on a variety of subjects ranging from his daughters’ use of social media (“Michelle and I try to emphasize to them that we don’t want them on TMZ,” Obama said).

Kimmel also took the time to address Obama’s historically strained relationship with the musician/entrepreneur Kanye West. The president once famously called West “a jackass,” but has since backpedaled off that statement. And in a recent interview with Radio 1’s Zane Lowe, West claimed, “Obama calls the home phone, by the way.” Kimmel asked Obama if there was any truth to this whatsoever. And it turns out… there isn’t.

President Barack Obama doesn’t send text messages, rarely composes his own tweets, and isn’t allowed to have a smart phone that contains a recording device, he said on Thursday.

“I do not physically tweet in general,” the president said in an interview on the ABC program “Jimmy Kimmel Live.“

Islamic State (IS) has accepted a pledge of allegiance from Nigeria's militant group Boko Haram, according to an audio message.

In the tape, which has not been verified, an IS spokesman says the aim of establishing a caliphate has now been expanded to West Africa.

Zimbabwe have been expelled from 2018 World Cup qualifying for failing to pay former coach Jose Claudinei Georgini.

Football's world governing body Fifa said in a statement it had taken the action "as a result of the non-payment of an outstanding debt".

Fifa added that Zimbabwe's Football Association (Zifa) failed to make the payments despite a grace period.

President Goodluck Jonathan says fighters from insurgent group Boko Haram have travelled to the Middle East for training with Islamic State militants.

A woman with humongous breasts is looking for love, as she pleads: "It’s time for them to find a man."

Kristy Love's breasts weigh a whopping 15.8lbs each, equalling the weight of a small child. Initially she felt embarrassed by them, and they even get in the way while she cooks. "Sometimes they get in the pot, sometimes they get in the pan," she said.

"Sometimes they get caught on the burner." But now she feels it is time to celebrate them.

She said: "My boobies do not need to be alone. It’s time for them to find a man."

And it seems Kim’s love of being naked has rubbed off on Chrissy Teigen as she decided to take part in a nude shoot.

With the election less than three weeks away and the outcome possibly against them, the Goodluck Jonathan Presidency and the hardliners in the PDP have embarked on a new strategy to put brake on the momentum APC presidential candidate Muhammadu Buhari seems to be gathering.

This strategy is novel and seems to be the outcome of a desperate calculation in that the PDP has shifted its attention from the APC in order to attack on multiple fronts the former governor of Lagos state and APC national leader, Bola Tinubu.

From what can be gathered through informed sources, the PDP and Jonathan Presidency had recently tried to fracture the APC by offering Tinubu the position of vice President in an interim government if he would agree to part company with the popular Buhari.

The former Manchester United striker scored the decisive goal in a 2-1 win that sent Arsenal through to the last four of the FA Cup.

TMZ has obtained the video of Suge Knight running over 2 men, killing one. It is gruesome, revealing and it will absolutely become the centerpiece of his murder trial.

It was reported that Suge drove to a Tam's Burgers in Compton where Dr. Dre was filming footage connected with the NWA biopic, "Straight Outta Compton." Suge had been kicked out of another location shoot 20 minutes earlier, and he claims he went to the burger joint to make peace with Dre.

Watch the video carefully. You see Suge pull up and he is almost instantly confronted by Cle "Bone" Sloan, who did security for the film. You clearly see Bone attacking Suge through the driver's window, when Suge suddenly throws the truck in reverse, clipping Bone with the side view mirror and knocking him down. (Graphic Content)

A former South African President, Thabo Mbeki, and a former Nigerian military Head of State, Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar, were in Kaduna on Monday to confer with the All Progressives Congress Presidential candidate, Maj.Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), ahead of the rescheduled March 28 presidential election.

Zidane(Left) and Ancelotti(Right)

Zinedine Zidane is being lined up to be Carlo Ancelotti’s successor as manager at Real Madrid, according to Graham Hunter.

Speaking on Revista de La Liga, Hunter insists the current Real Madrid Castilla boss is the natural choice to take over from the Italian, but not immediately due to lack of experience.

Ancelotti has come under fire in recent weeks after some poor performances since the winter break, with the current European champions now a point behind leaders Barcelona.

“It's not about candidates, it's a candidate,” Hunter said. “The succession plan is Zinedine Zidane. He's in charge of Castilla B. It's a formal plan and everyone knows this to be the case.”

African Independent Television (AIT) owners received N10 billion to produce and air negative documentaries on leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC), a SaharaReporters investigation shows.
