Sinner was cleared of any wrongdoing after he twice tested positive for the banned steroid clostebol in March. He was initially provisionally suspended by the ITIA, but successfully appealed and was allowed to continue playing until the investigation was concluded. In August, the ITIA announced that there was “no fault or negligence” on the Italian’s part as he became contaminated when his former physiotherapist used a skin cream containing clostebol to treat a cut, before massaging the tennis star. But the dust had barely settled when it was announced that WADA had appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport…
Arne Slot’s decision to stay at Feyenoord in 2023 for one more year has been vindicated. Having just led the Rotterdam giants to their first Eredivisie title in six years, he was linked with the vacant post at Tottenham. However, he did not make the move to north London, and Spurs instead turned to Celtic’s Ange Postecoglou. Slot would instead get his long-awaited shot at Premier League stardom a year later when Liverpool came calling in search of a worthy successor to Jurgen Klopp. This season, the fortunes of Postecoglou and Slot have wildly differed, though there is a danger…
Liverpool have one advantage over Arsenal in the Premier League title race, according to Sky Sports pundit Jamie Redknapp. Arne Slot’s side are currently just three points clear of the Gunners in the league standings after the London club’s 5-1 win over Crystal Palace on Saturday evening. The Reds are in action against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, while they also have a further game in hand against Merseyside rivals Everton. That being said, Liverpool failed to further extend their lead over their title rivals, including Chelsea, in recent weeks after suffering back-to-back Premier League draws against Newcastle United and Fulham.…
Arne Slot currently has the club in pole position for each of the competitions they’ve entered so far this season, be it the Premier League, the Champions League or the EFL Cup. As such, fans are excited about what this campaign may have in store for the team, whose form is yet to drop off, with the side unbeaten in their last 20 matches across all competitions. However, no great team ever stands still. In order to excel, you’ve got to be on top of things 100% of the time, and so although Liverpool’s squad has very few holes in…
Liverpool has been going through its final preparations ahead of what looks set to be a crucial encounter with Tottenham on Sunday. Having now seen Manchester City lose yet again, the Reds would dearly love to strengthen their position at the top of the Premier League in their final game before Christmas – although they could go into tomorrow’s game in north London having been dethroned by Chelsea. The Blues play beforehand at Everton, and Liverpool certainly wouldn’t mind a favor from its Merseyside neighbor. Spurs though will be a tricky test regardless, and Arne Slot’s men will have to…
Liverpool has been going through its final preparations ahead of what looks set to be a crucial encounter with Tottenham on Sunday. Having now seen Manchester City lose yet again, the Reds would dearly love to strengthen their position at the top of the Premier League in their final game before Christmas – although they could go into tomorrow’s game in north London having been dethroned by Chelsea. The Liverpool boss put his players through their paces on Friday, with the session at the AXA Training Centre being captured by photographers. Here is what Liverpool.com spotted, including a potential new…
The Premier League champions suffered a 2-1 defeat at Villa Park. It means that City have lost nine of their previous 12 games in all competitions and it’s looking almost impossible they will challenge to claim a fifth successive top-flight crown. Pep Guardiola’s side are sixth in the table – some nine points behind Liverpool who now have two games in hand ahead of a trip to Tottenham Hotspur today (4.30pm GMT). To compound City’s miseries, they lost John Stones to a recurrence of an injury against Villa. They already have fellow central defenders Ruben Dias and Nathan Ake on…
In 2016, I said farewell to my Belfast hometown in favour of the glamourous life of a Liverpool-based university student. The most difficult goodbye wasn’t to my family or friends, it was to a small restaurant named Boojum snowballing so quick in popularity it became impossible to find a store without a queue. The cult favourite specialises in Mexican food crafted by Irish hands. An ironic pairing that has allowed Boojum to expand to almost 20 stores across the UK since launching in 2007 none the less. The last time I was able to enjoy Boojum was almost a decade…
Robbie Keane blamed Rafael Benitez for his unsuccessful stint at Liverpool, suggesting that being played ‘out of position’ contributed to his failure. The Irish footballer, who retired in 2018, moved to Liverpool from Tottenham Hotspur in a £19million deal back in 2008, only to return to Spurs just six months later. Keane’s run with the Reds amounted to 28 games, scoring a modest seven goals and five assists. Benitez’s team were in a close-run race for the Premier League crown during that season, and Keane was seen as an addition to bolster their title hopes. However, despite the high expectations,…
In a critical blow to the Houston Texans’ secondary, veteran safety Jimmie Ward was carted off the field during the second quarter of today’s game with a foot injury. The Texans has officially been dowgraded to out for the rest of the game. Ward, who signed with the Houston during the offseason, was expected to bring stability and leadership to a young defensive unit. His presence has been instrumental in anchoring a secondary especially in the absence of injured safety Jalen Pitre. The injury occurred during a routine defensive play, with Ward visibly in pain as medical staff attended to…
