Jose Mourinho attacks his players Chris Smalling & Luke Shaw who refused to play because they weren't 100%

Manchester United coach Jose Mourinho has publicly criticized his defenders Chris Smalling and Luke Shaw after they pulled out on the match against Swansea on Sunday because they didn't feel 100% fit to play the game.

According to Mourinho, he had to make do with a second choice defensive line up (Phil Jones and Mattheo Darmian as center back and left back respectively).

He stated that the two players have betrayed Man United's culture by not playing through the pain for the club, insinuating that his players should be prepared to play through the pain for the sake of their shirt.

"I have a friend who is a big tennis player and he tells me when he remembered more the times he plays with pain than the times he plays without pain," Mourinho said to MUTV.  To compete you have to go to the limit. It is cultural for some – and that is not my culture. More than me, it is Man United. 

"We have players with problems. At every sport – and I know because I have friends in others sports and they play at the highest level in their sport.

"Valencia had surgery on his arm, Bailly has a long-term knee injury, Smalling doesn't feel that he can play 100 per cent with his pain. Luke Shaw told me this morning that he was not in the condition to play so we had to build a defensive line. 

"To be honest, I trust the four boys that are on the pitch. I go with the players that are convinced they can do it and I am very confident. I know Ashley Young is not a right-back but Ashley Young is a champion. Matteo Darmian is always ready to do his best and Phil Jones, he understands the moment of the team. He understands that we are in trouble so he is ready to go and accelerated his process. 

“Maybe his process would take him more time but he's put himself on the line to go with the team. Marcos [Rojo] is the same. Daley Blind has some problems but he put himself available to be on the bench and to try to help the team so the people that are here are people that I trust for a difficult match."

Asked if Smalling and Shaw had to change their mindset, Mourinho said:

“Exactly. More for Manchester United than for me.”

Mourinho added:

 “After the draw with Burnley we need points. It was a great performance, but it was one point and we need the three points. It was more important to get three points than the performance, but we have both. I would love to play Carrick in every game, but it is not possible. For the same reason I cannot go to the gym every day anymore. He played very well. 

“Ibra is not a player who lacks confidence. A striker who does not score goals is one player less, but a striker who does everything else is one who does well. He works hard defensively, in the build up, he gave assists. I was not worried.”

Chris Brown bans his friends from bringing random women to his home

  Chris Brown lives in his LA mansion with two of his best friends who until recently can throw parties, bring in women and do whatever they want. But Chris Brown has now put a stop to it following his recent arrest for allegedly pulling a gun on a girl at his home. Read the TMZ report after the cut...
  Chris Brown is done hosting frat house parties ... blaming his male friends and thirsty chicks for his recent arrest. Our Chris sources tell us he's now enforcing a strict guest policy at his Calabasas mansion -- and letting everyone in his crew know he's as serious as death ... no more randoms allowed. We told he's pulling back on parties for starters, but there's this problem with his 2 roommates/best friends.                             
They now have to submit a guest list to Chris IN WRITING, and they must describe who they are with sufficient details so he can decide whether he wants them in his home. We're told he also is imposing another strict policy ... guests are prohibited from bringing drugs or alcohol. The only booze and drugs allowed are his.

Chris Brown Responds to Report That Claims He Refused to Stand for National Anthem

Chris Brown, like many others, has shown his support for Colin Kaepernick and his decision to kneel during the National Anthem. In a now-deleted Instagram post, the 27-year-old R&B singer commended the quarterback for his stance as well as being an example for the rest of the country. But has Brown taken his support one step further by joining in on the protests? According to TMZ, the answer is yes.

 On Sunday, the publication accused Brown of refusing to stand during the National Anthem in a charity basketball game on 9/11. In the video above, Tank is encouraging everyone to join him in singing the National Anthem. "I understand everybody is exercising their right to stand or to sit. And to exercise my right to freedom of justice," he says. "But in the wake of 9/11, please understand and respect the fact that real men, women, and children lost their lives for this very thing we are able to stand for today. For this very place that we’re in, for this interaction, for this moment."

The camera pans to Brown who is seen sitting down through Tank's rendition until someone helps him up. It's important to note that Brown was actually enjoying Tank's singing, even nodding his head at a couple of moments. Brown's gesture could be interpreted in many ways, depending on who you'd ask.

 Brown doesn't exactly have the best relationship with TMZ, and proceeded to call them out on Instagram. In a move similar to when he blasted TMZ for their story titled "Chris Brown Settles Beef...Over Gay Pride Gig," he posted a screenshot of the story and wrote "Stay classy!"

 Fans were visibly upset after watching the video on TMZ. Is Brown in the center of another controversy?

Woman who accused Chris Brown of pointing gun at her denies ‘romantic feelings’ for singer amid claims that paint her as obsessive kleptomaniac

The woman alleging Chris Brown pointed a gun at her Tuesday is denying a claim she’s been infatuated with the singer for years.
“Never been obsessed with him,” Baylee Curran told the Daily News in a text message Thursday.
“Never romantic feelings!” she claimed.
The 24-year-old model was responding to allegations by former friend Angel Monroe that Curran has been fixated on the singer as far back as the Billboard Music Awards in 2012, when the two women met him on the red carpet.

“She was obsessed with Chris Brown,” Monroe, a model and musician, told The News Thursday. “She had met him before at a party. She always had a thing for him."
An old Twitter post from a day before the awards show suggests Curran was angling to spend time with the Grammy winner.
“Hope to run into you,” Curran tweeted at Brown on May 19, 2012.
 “Congrats!! And good seeing you today even if just for a sec:) see you tonight,” she wrote in a follow-up tweet to him a day later.

Curran told The News the Billboard meeting wasn't her first with Brown. She described it as "nice to see an old acquaintance again."
It was around 3 a.m. Tuesday that Curran called 911 and told Los Angeles police Brown threatened her with a gun inside his Tarzana mansion.
Curran claimed she was admiring a diamond cross necklace displayed by a jeweler inside Brown's house when the "Kiss Kiss" singer whipped out the firearm and yelled at her to get out.
Police searched Brown’s residence later that day and arrested him on suspicion of felony assault with a deadly weapon.
 He posted $250,000 bail and has a court date set for Sept. 20.

"Chris is out and well. The allegations against him are demonstrably false," Brown's lawyer Mark Geragos said in a Twitter statement late Tuesday.
Geragos told the Los Angeles Times that during the search of Brown's home, the LAPD did not find any firearms or the jewelry described by Curran.
"It has become apparent that the allegations are not just false but fabricated," Geragos said.

Meanwhile, Monroe told Complex she too doubted Curran's claims against Brown.
The fellow model and former roommate said she believed Curran stole multiple diamond rings from her when they lived together.
"Once things went missing, I told Baylee to leave and pack up and get the F out," Monroe told Complex.

She said Curran called the cops on her in response and threatened to tell police she tried to assault her.
As The News first reported Wednesday, another former roommate said in a court filing in October 2013 that Curran falsely accused him of threatening her life and slamming her against a wall.
Princeton Roseborough filed the paperwork after Curran got an emergency restraining order against him by alleging the aspiring personal trainer threw her against the wall and threatened to hire a hit man to kill her.
Roseborough denied her claims in a sworn statement to the court and a judge dismissed the case a couple weeks later when Curran was a no-show at a hearing.

"I had a similar situation as Chris Brown. Long story short, I had a girl over and they got in a fight and (Curran) swung and I caught her hit. I told her no fighting in the house because it was somebody else's place," Roseborough told The News.
"Yeah, she's crazy," he said of Curran. "She likes to start trouble with people to get money out of them. She has her crazy spurts."

Yet another former friend has come forward and accused Curran of taking part in a robbery of her wallet from Manhattan's Plaza Hotel in 2013.
Rachel Getachew said she first met Curran at a pool party several years ago and thought she was a "super sweet girl."
When Curran invited her on an all-expenses paid trip to New York in October 2013, she thought it was "a little sketchy" but figured Curran was simply friends with someone wealthy and generous.
"Immediately it was clear he was her sugar daddy," Getachew said Wednesday of Phil Vasyli, the now deceased footwear mogul who met them in New York.

Getachew said Vasyli was "actually a really sweet guy" but she was "weirded out" by the group dynamic during their first meeting over dinner at STK, so she went back to her room after about 45 minutes.
Curran and pal Julia Parle continued to party and spent the night in Vasyli's room, she said.

Getachew said the next day she met Curran and Parle at the St. Regis spa and got a 30-minute foot massage while the other two women got their hair done.
"When I come back out, Julia walked up to me and said, 'Well you need to pay for this.' I didn't have an issue paying, but I said I was going to talk to Phil first. She said, 'You're not going to talk to anyone,'" Getachew recalled.
Getachew said she made a comment questioning Parle and Curran's relationship with Vasyli, and Parle physically attacked her.
Hotel staff broke up the fight, but Parle and Curran later stormed Getachew's room and grabbed her black Louis Vuitton bag and ran out, Getachew claimed.

"I immediately dialed security, and (a staffer) came up to comfort me," she said. “I said two girls left holding a black bag and they should stop them because they just robbed me.”
After about 10 minutes, a security guard returned with the bag, but it was empty, she said.

"They gave him some BS excuse. Meanwhile, they kept all my stuff," she said.
Getachew filed a police report, had her parents buy her a plane ticket home and used the NYPD paperwork as her ID at the airport, she said.
She said Curran and Parle later harassed her back home in LA. The pair contacted mutual friends and said they were collecting donations because Getachew had cancer, Getachew claims.
"People were texting me saying, 'She's collecting money for your cancer. Why didn't you tell me?'" Getachew said. "She collected like $700, I believe, in two days."

Getachew described Curran as "hungry for fame."
"That's why I stayed away,” Getachew said. “I'm not saying Chris Brown is innocent, but something must have happened. She has been blacklisted by a lot of people because she's robbed and scammed people."

Chris Brown's lawyer says no guns, drugs found in house search

 

Police search followed woman's accusation Tuesday that singer pointed gun at her while at his house

  Police did not find guns or drugs during a search of singer Chris Brown's mansion before his arrest on allegations he threatened a model at gunpoint, his lawyer said Friday.

 

Mark Geragos said he was present during the search and police did not find evidence to corroborate the accuser's story, including a specific piece of jewelry that she said triggered the incident.
Baylee Curran told reporters that Brown pointed a gun at her face after he and another man became angry with her when she admired the man's diamond necklace.
Brown was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon. He was released on $250,000 U.S. bail.
Geragos said the accuser's story was fabricated.

"This woman got irate when she was asked to leave because she was acting in an erratic manner," Geragos said.
Capt. Andy Neiman said the Los Angeles Police Department is working with prosecutors to review the evidence and not commenting on the case.
The Grammy-winning Brown has had legal trouble and problems acquiring international visas since his felony conviction in the 2009 assault of then-girlfriend, Rihanna. He completed probation in that case last year
Brown has also faced accusations that were proven to be false, Geragos said. He has also had stalkers and several break-ins, including one by a woman who moved into his house while he was away.
