Pep Guardiola has been playing the sympathy card over the past week, forgetting that most of the Premier League doesn’t have an awful lot to give to Manchester City – especially Liverpool. Considering the standards they’ve set under the former Barcelona boss, it’s been a quite remarkable few days for City. Three consecutive defeats is practically unheard of under Guardiola’s reign, but it does seem as though the wheels are wobbling somewhat at the Etihad. Having been knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Tottenham – which has proven to be a constant thorn in Guardiola’s side since joining City…
Steven Gerrard couldn’t help but reignite an old rivalry with Gary Neville during a video call with former Liverpool teammate Jamie Carragher. The iconic captain joined a FaceTime call with the Sky Sports pundit while filming for ‘The Overlap on Tour’. Gerrard, who climbed the ranks of the Liverpool academy before taking over from Sami Hyypia as captain, was well aware of the rivalry between Manchester United and the Anfield club. The midfielder had some memorable moments in their clashes with the Red Devils and was even sent off in his last match against United, following an incident with midfielder…
Liverpool manager Arne Slot has found untapped potential in the squad he inherited from Jurgen Klopp. And perhaps no player has come out of their shell more following the German’s departure than Curtis Jones. The 23-year-old academy product was rarely, if ever, a nailed-on member of Klopp’s starting line-up, and he never managed to rack up more than 24 appearances in a single Premier League season. Now, two-and-a-half months into the new campaign, it is apparent that Slot’s more measured style of football suits him down to the ground. And he has used that to his advantage by muscling £60million…
Edu Gaspar declined a lucrative contract extension at Arsenal to embark on a new challenge in the multi-club football model. Reports indicate that Arsenal’s offer was competitive with the proposal made by Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis, who has appointed Edu to oversee his expanding football network, including Olympiacos and Rio Ave. Contrary to some claims, Forest’s offer is not expected to triple Edu’s Arsenal salary, which was estimated between £2-3 million annually. However, the role offers a notable pay increase and aligns with Edu’s desire to lead a comprehensive multi-club project. Marinakis wasn’t the only club owner interested in…
Arsenal will take on Inter Milan at the San Siro in the Champions League on Wednesday night and they will do so without one of their key players. But one other important star is set to return. Declan Rice has not travelled with the Gunners squad for the league phase clash at the San Siro. The England star missed open training ahead of the flight and football.london can reveal he has not travelled to Italy for the match. The extent of Rice’s injury is not yet known, with the midfielder having played the full 90 minutes of the Gunners’ Premier…
Houston Texans defensive tackle Mario Edwards Jr. has been suspended for four games for violating the league’s substance abuse policy, the NFL announced Monday afternoon. It’s unclear what Edwards did specifically to violate that policy. He will be eligible for reinstatement after Houston’s matchup against the Detroit Lions on Nov. 10. The announcement came a day after Edwards’ best game of the season. He had eight total tackles in the Texans’ 41-21 blowout win over Drake Maye and the New England Patriots on Sunday, which marked Houston’s third straight victory and moved it to 5-1 on the season. Edwards has…
The Houston Texans must respond following their 21-13 loss to the New York Jets in Week 9. Things won’t get easier for the AFC South favorites as they welcome in one of the league’s top rosters on primetime off nine days of rest. Who is next on the schedule to kickstart the month of November? Let’s discuss below. Who will the Texans play in Week 10 of the NFL schedule? Houston takes on the Detroit Lions on Halloween at NRG Stadium. This marks the first time the two programs take on each other for the first time in four years.…
The Houston Texans needed to make a trade at the deadline. However, they needed a trade for offensive line help, and maybe a receiver since they have now lost Stefon Diggs for the season. Unfortunately, they didn’t get any. This upset the fan base, as everyone was begging general manager Nick Caserio, who is usually pretty active, especially as of late but just in the offseason, to make some moves. Caserio stuck with what he has and appears to think that’s going to be okay. The Texas traded away defensive tackle Khalil Davis to the San Francisco 49ers right at…
The Houston Texans are making a small change to their roster just before the 2024 NFL Trade Deadline passed. According to The Athletic insider Dianna Russini, the Texans are trading backup defensive tackle Khalil Davis to the San Francisco 49ers for a 2026 seventh-round pick. The move comes shortly before the reinstatement of defensive lineman Mario Edwards Jr. from suspension, so this will open up a spot for him to occupy on the 53-man roster. Davis, 28, has played in all nine games for the Texans this season, recording nine tackles and one sack. The Texans could have made another…
The Detroit Lions acquired defensive lineman Za’Darius Smith from the Cleveland Browns on NFL trade deadline day. At 7-1, the Lions are the NFC’s hottest team, winning their last six games. The move for Smith could spell trouble for the Houston Texans, who play Detroit Sunday night. The Lions lost edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson, who led the league with 7.5 sacks before suffering a season-ending leg injury in Week 6. Nobody else on Detroit has over 2.5 sacks this season. Smith has five through nine games, he’s no Hutchinson but he’s a clear upgrade for Detroit against one of the…
