10 Things You Might Have Missed – 19/10/17

The world of football never stands still. If you put your phone down for a couple of hours last night you would have missed Messi popping pills, Gary Cahill transforming into a turtle and Barca fans misunderstanding red cards. Football is weird. Here's what you might have missed today...

Paul Scholes using all his innner-strength to prevent a chuckle slipping out as Steven Gerrard talks about never winning the Premier League.

When you're 1-0 up and your main centre half gets himself sent off for trying to score with his hand. That's the sort of stuff gets you banished into eternal darkness in the realms of hell at any club in the world, right? Not so at the Camp Nou it appears. If anything the home faithful seemed pretty damn excited about it all.

Just Barry from Eastenders trying to find out what's on Joey Barton's midweek accumulator.

15 years ago to the day. The name was remembered. Yeah 16 years old. Tough paper round.

This is Huang Wenbin. Huang travelled 12,000 miles to see first hand the team he guided to the Premier League and UEFA Cup on Championship Manager 01/02. Runcorn Linnets FC. Why? Absolutely no idea.

When you have to dress up as a giant bottle Barbecue Sauce. But you really don't want to dress up as a giant bottle Barbecue Sauce. So you let everyone know what you think of dressing up as a giant bottle Barbecue Sauce. The life of a Central Coast Mariners' mascot.

This Coventry City fan took offence to his side being 1-0 down to Forest Green Rovers. That Liam Gallagher strut, the furious look in his eye that says "I don't care if you kill me, hell can't be any worse than Coventry", and carrying what could well be a bag of his own faeces, it's no wonder the stewards didn't fancy challenging him.

Jean-Kevin Augustin needs to remember that these Porto players have families too.

Messi keeps Werther's Originals in his socks, pass it on.

Gary Cahill. Part defender, part turtle.

A lot of love for our random Twitter account of the week. Very niche chaps. In their own words, @prematchstrolls is: "Footballers being forced to walk slowly around places in a large group before matches."
