Wolves launch 'One Pack, One Planet' sustainability initiative with Football For Future

Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane was left frustrated at another question about Gareth Bale's recent behaviour, blasting the media for trying to create a problem out of nothing. Bale has featured just twice since football's return, but has still managed to steal the headlines with his antics on the bench. The Welshman used his face mask to sneak in a little nap on the side of the pitch before building binoculars using a some ankle tape last time out. Many Spanish outlets have hit out at Bale...

'I have to hear what the management wants first' - FA Selangor boss B. Satiananthan accepts blame for hammering

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has fired a warning to the club's hierarchy, insisting he faces a near-impossible job to bridge the gap to the Premier League's elite without serious financial backing. The Gunners did pick up a 2-1 victory over champions Liverpool on Wednesday, but they are still down in ninth in the Premier League table and face an uphill battle to qualify for the Europa League, let alone the Champions League. #ARSLIV highlights? Oh, go on then! Start your day the right way ?...

Hodgson: Why I ordered Zaha to retake Ayew's penalty vs Manchester United

Donny van de Beek to Ask for Number 34 at Man Utd & Other Shirt Options

All So, Arsenal hosted Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday night. Wait, sorry, I'll rephrase: tenth place Arsenal hosted Premier League champions Liverpool on Wednesday night with a casual 43 points separating the two sides ahead of kick off. Startling. Who would be tuning in? Well, there are always those who love to watch Arsenal suffer, while there is also the angle of seeing whether Liverpool are actually bothered about breaking top flight records anymore and might get undone by...

Benson Omalla: Gor Mahia complete signing of highly-rated forward from Western Stima

tors Arsenal stunned Liverpool on Wednesday night by capitalising on two glaring errors to record a 2-1 Premier League win over the champions, boosting their European hopes. The visitors nearly took the lead in comical fashion, as Emiliano Martinez's attempted clearance was charged down by Roberto Firmino but, fortunately for the goalkeeper, clipped the post and away to safety. Sadio Mane made no mistake after 20 minutes, latching on to Andrew Robertson's cut back to fire home the opener. For...

Tottenham Snub Milan Bid for Serge Aurier, Zlatan Ibrahimovic Nears New Deal

The greatest professional wrestlers are remembered best for their thrilling entrance music that wraps around the arena as they make their way down to the ring. The fans love it, and it creates a buzz like no other. While football fans love to create an atmosphere of their own during games to support their club, we can't help but wonder what it would be like if teams took to the pitch with some entrance music to back them up. With football affected by the recent COVID-19 pandemic, we're about...

Bertha Omita: Simba Queens sign Harambee Starlets forward

It's been an up and down season for Newcastle. With a proposed Saudi takeover still hanging in the balance, uncertainty is marring the club at all levels. Since the Premier League has restarted following a three-month lockdown, however, they've looked refreshed. And while Allan Saint-Maximin has stolen the headlines for his exciting dribbles and emphatic performances in recent weeks, there's more to Newcastle's upturn in fortunes than just the Frenchman. Jonjo Shelvey has quietly been just as...

Bayern's U.S. starlet Richards suffers injury

Having originally looked like an effort to aid Premier League squads as the season extended into the summer months, IFAB confirmed recently that the five substitutes per game ruling would still be implemented into next season. The announcement will come as a huge blow to the so-called ‘lesser sides’ in England’s top tier, with clubs possessing deeper and more quality-laden squads gaining a clear advantage at the prospect of being able to field 16 different players in any given game.

Roma CEO Claims Manchester United Wanted to Keep Chris Smalling

rets Wolverhampton Wanderers were left frustrated on Wednesday evening as they dropped two points at Turf Moor. The away side looked more threatening in the early stages, with Adama Traore in particular looking dangerous. However, despite their pressure, Nuno Espirito Santo's side were unable to create any notable chances in the first half. The second half continued in similar fashion, with neither side finding much joy in front of goal. Raul Jimenez's beauty wasn't enough for the three points....

Transfer Talk: Arsenal, Tottenham eye Real Madrid's Isco

Drop Manchester City stuttered their way to a 2-1 win over Bournemouth at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday evening, with the Cherries staring down the barrel of a return to the Championship. It took a little over five minutes for City to break the deadlock with David Silva curling a scintillating free kick over the Cherries wall, leaving Aaron Ramsdale clutching at thin air as the strike bounced in off the crossbar. The lead was doubled just before half-time, with Silva yet again instrumental as...

Trio of Premier League Clubs Enquire About Roma's Amadou Diawara

Tottenham, Leicester City and Newcastle United are all showing an interest in Roma's Amadou Diawara, with I Giallorossi valuing the midfielder at around €30m (£27m). Diawara has struggled with injuries this season, limiting him to just 14 starts in Serie A so far. The 22-year-old returned to action when play got back underway in June and although he initially struggled, he has since gained confidence and put in an impressive display last time out against Brescia.

Setien unsure if we will manage Barca in UCL

Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone has claimed he is 'not surprised' goalkeeper Jan Oblak is being linked with a move away, with Chelsea particularly interested.

Who Cristiano Ronaldo is likely to play for during 2021/22 - ranked

Two minutes. That's all the time it took for Leicester City's stuttering season to stop stuttering and burst into flames. With 65 minutes on the clock and Leicester 1-0 up in a crucial encounter against relegation threatened Bournemouth, the vastly experienced Kasper Schmeichel blasted a goal kick straight into Wilfred Ndidi's boney arse. Why you ask? Well, that's a question that I've been asking myself for the past few days. I'm still no closer to an answer. Perhaps the Dane thought it would...

France's Euro ouster by Swiss falls on Deschamps

As Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is so often keen to point out, football is a game of emotions. Indeed, no other sport allows as much freedom for personal expression as the beautiful game.

No player is a better example of that than Cristiano Ronaldo. Throughout his career, he has demonstrated that he isn't afraid to wear his heart on his sleeve. If he's...
