Good morning and a happy weekend from Berlin! Andrew is still on his whiplash tour of Ireland with Elliot, so I’m on blog duty this morning while they recover from whatever it is they need to recover from in Galway. I wish someone had covered for me when I was last in Galway, but no. After four days of stag do, I had to get up at 6am to catch the only train back to Dublin that would have me reach my flight home before getting married the next day. You have no idea how close I was to missing…
Guimaraes bid a tearful farewell to his team-mates and to staff before leaving the club’s pre-season training camp in Spain.He will become the fourth key player to move on in less than a year.Sandro Tonali and Anthony Gordon joined Tottenham Hotspur and Barcelona respectively earlier in the window, while Alexander Isak went to Liverpool last summer.Losing Guimaraes is a particular blow, given his status as the club’s talisman, but Newcastle chief executive David Hopkinson suggested Arsenal had hoped to pay a smaller fee after lower sums were initially floated for a player who turns 29 in November.However, Hopkinson recognised that…

One player who…
Training always goes up a level when a new manager arrives, as players look to impress, but the intensity of the German’s double sessions are said to have been “off the charts”.Such effort is a non-negotiable for Jaissle who, like Howe, wants his players to train the way they play and take that vigour into games.During his spell at RB Salzburg, where he won back-to-back titles and reached the last 16 of the Champions League, Jaissle’s aggressive side ranked first per game in the Austrian league for high turnovers (9.8) and possession won in the final third (5.6) per match.Al-Ahli…
AC Milan have confirmed they have agreed to terminate Ismael Bennacer’s contract, with the Algeria international set to join Al-Gharafa in the Qatar Stars League. Bennacer has not made a competitive appearance for Milan since February 2025, having suffered a serious knee injury the previous season. He has spent the last 18 months out on loan, representing Marseille 12 times in the second half of 2024-25, then playing 19 matches for Croatia’s Dinamo Zagreb last season. Bennacer was part of the Rossoneri team that won the club’s 19th Serie A title in 2021-22, making 31 appearances under Stefano Pioli that…
“I don’t think you truly believed,” Bradley said on his channel. “I don’t think you truly believed that Devin Haney was gonna pull that damn card.” The former two-division champion felt Davis had the ability to beat Haney, which made his decision harder for Bradley to understand. “You had a chance to knock him off, bro. And the crazy part is that when I was studying this fight, I’m like, ‘Damn, Keyshawn Davis could knock off Devin Haney. He got what it takes.’ Oh yeah. But you didn’t believe that.” Davis’ financial demands also became part of Bradley’s argument about…
Bangladesh folded for just 54 on Saturday to lose its only warm-up game ahead of a two-Test series against top-ranked Australia by an innings and 38 runs.The tourists were skittled by young quick Campbell Thompson, who claimed a stunning 8-25 off 11 overs as a Cricket Australia XI romped to victory before lunch on the third and final day in Darwin.It does not bode well for Bangladesh, which faces a full-strength Australia, spearheaded by the pace trio of Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood, in the same city next week.Opener Tanzid Hasan was the only batter to reach double…
Fourth round, 30 October 2012, Madejski StadiumAn incredible match, the joint-highest scoring EFL Cup tie in history, and it took extra-time to find a winner.Still without a win in their return to the Premier League, Reading threw away any joy their fans were feeling as they led Arsenal 4-0 by capitulating to lose 7-5.Arsenal found themselves four down after 35 minutes, but Theo Walcott’s goal before half‑time sparked a comeback that dragged the match into extra-time. Marouane Chamakh put Arsenal in front for the first time on the night with a goal in the first period of extra-time, only for…
Ali took command during the closing stretch. Frazier’s face was severely swollen, his vision heavily compromised, and Ali repeatedly landed clean right hands. Futch had seen enough, stopping the fight before the 15th round began. Frazier protested. He had spent his career walking through punishment to get close enough to land his left hook, and quitting voluntarily was never an option. Futch’s responsibility was different. He had to decide if sending a fighter who could barely see back into the ring was worth the risk. Ali Was Near His Limit Too What Futch could not fully know was the physical…
