• Mauricio Pochettino empathises with supporters angry about the Premier League’s decision to move Chelsea’s trip to Wolves to Christmas Eve, admitting it has thrown his festive plans and anniversary celebrations with his wife into chaos esports
  
  The league confirmed on Thursday that the fixture, which has been pushed back 24 hours to accommodate TV coverage, will be the first played on December 24 since Manchester United played Leeds in 1995, a move that has drawn a backlash from fans esports
  
  Scheduled for a 1pm kick-off, it could leave supporters struggling to make travel arrangements with train timetables typically amended or curtailed the day before Christmas, while there are also concerns it will impact time supporters traditionally spend with family esports
  
  Pochettino is set to be doubly affected by the move, as not only is it Argentinian custom to begin Christmas celebrations late on December 24, the previous day also marks his and his wife’s 31st wedding anniversary – which he will now spend travelling to Wolverhampton esports
  
  Despite not being consulted by the league he conceded that the club has little choice but to go along, but backed objections by supporters who have spoken out esports
  
  “It’s a little bit strange but we need to accept the rules of the Premier League, that we need to go there and to play,” said Pochettino esports
  
  “(In Argentina) we celebrate on the night of the 24th esports
  
  At 12 o’clock on the night we start to celebrate Christmas esports
  
  More than the 25th because you’re asleep nearly all day esports
  
  Here it’s different because you celebrate on the 25th with the family esports
  
  “I need to see things in a different way esports
  
  For sure our fans are not happy but we need to accept this new era in esports football esports
  
  “(The Premier League) didn’t ask us esports
  
  They wanted some meeting with me and all the coaches one week before the season esports
  
  I said I’m more than happy to share time with you, but it’s esports better if you prepare the meeting before the end of the season to prepare the next season esports
  
  “If they ask me I will give my opinion, but at the moment we are not involved in the decisions esports
  
  ”He added: “I don’t know what to do (with my wife) esports
  
  I need to find some ideas to compensate esports
  
  (Search esports online for) ‘unhappy wife’ esports
  
  ”The Wolves game is the first of three in seven days for Chelsea over the Christmas period, with Crystal Palace due at Stamford Bridge on the evening of December 27 before visiting Luton on December 30 esports
  
  The Palace game has been moved from esports Boxing Day in order to accommodate the controversial Christmas Eve fixture esports
  
  Pochettino reiterated that supporters’ concerns must be paramount in scheduling decisions esports
  
  “We play and we work and all that we are doing is for our fans,” he said esports
  
  “Without fans, esports football (is nothing) esports
  
  We need to protect, and to care, and to look after our fans esports
  
  “Of course I agree with them, that I am not happy if they are not happy esports
  
  It’s common sense esports
  
  I can understand esports
  
  “I don’t know what is behind it esports
  
  I don’t know why esports
  
  No one explained esports
  
  I cannot tell esports
  
  I hope it’s one time and never again, but we’ll see what happens esports
  
  “People love esports football in England and they are going to be there esports
  
  Our fans are going to be there supporting the team esports
  
  But I don’t know if it’s going to be a regular situation esports
  
  ”Asked whether the club would offer a new contract to Conor Gallagher – who has captained the side in the absence of injured pair Reece James and Ben Chilwell – Pochettino likened the situation to the balancing act he now faces on the home front esports
  
  “It’s like how we were talking about my wife,” he said esports
  
  “It’s about to match and to feel good being together esports
  
  It’s like a marriage with the club esports
  
  They both need to feel good, then you can drive at a good deal esports
  
  “He is a player that is doing fantastic esports
  
  He’s an amazing player and we’re so happy with the way he is doing things esports

  France crashed out of a home Rugby World Cup in heartbreaking fashion as they went down to South Africa in one of the greatest matches of all time and Antoine Dupont slammed the refereeing in the aftermath of the loss esports
  
  A thrilling quarter-final at the Stade de France ended with the Springboks triumphing 29-28 as France’s last-gasp stand to try and find the single score that would have led them to victory came up agonisingly short, in an excruciatingly similar manner to Ireland 24 hours earlier at the same stadium esports
  
  In a match decided by the finest of margins, Les Bleus captain Dupont – whose recovery from a fractured cheekbone suffered just 24 hours prior had dominated the build-up to the game –was unhappy with referee Ben O’Keeffe and let rip in his post-match press conference esports
  
  “It’s hard to talk about these things because there’s lots of disappointment and frustration,” said Dupont esports
  
  “We could have had some penalties at crucial moments esports
  
  “I don’t want to be a bad loser and moan about the refereeing but I don’t think the refereeing was up to the level of what was at stake esports
  
  It’s not just one person, there are TMOs, assistant referees and they have time to review images as the game is going on esports
  
  “This doesn’t take anything away from South Africa’s performance, they played a great game esports

  It was a tight call and would have been a penalty, sin-binning and possibly even a penalty try had the ball been deemed to have gone forward off the Springbok lock’s hand esports
  
  Etzeesports beth was later sin-binned for making contact with Uini Atonio’s head in a tackle but after bunker review, it was decided that a yellow card was sufficient and it wasn’t upgraded to red esports

  After such an incredible quarter-final, it was a shame to be talking about the referee and while head coach Fabien Galthie also hinted at his dissatisfaction at O’Keeffe’s performance, he was keen to give South Africa their due for a scintillating performance esports
  
  “I understand the players’ frustration,” said Galthie esports

  “We’ve worked with the referees ahead of this tournament and during the World Cup and we will continue to do so esports
  
  ”South Africa captain Siya Kolisi also brushed off any potential controversy and instead focused on a remarkable game of rugby esports
  
  “All we can do is play rugby, we can’t control the decisions the referee makes,” said Kolisi esports
  
  “We will have to look again but I felt he let the game flow well and his decisions were ok esports
