Anfield awaits for Andoni Iraola, with Liverpool set to host Nottingham Forest on Saturday afternoon for the first home game of the Spaniard’s tenure. He did not get off to a winning start, with the residue of last season’s suffering clinging to Liverpool as they laboured to a draw at St. James’ Park. Still, FSG believe the £120m signing of Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain will help put things to rights. Finally, finally, Liverpool have struck ore after mining away for most of the summer, and with less than a week of the transfer window remaining, supporters were getting concerned…

Conor Benn is in serious shape ahead of his WBC welterweight title shot against Ryan Garcia 👀#GarciaBenn l Sept 12th in Las Vegas 🥊 pic.twitter.com/mMfsCbQqU3 — Ring Magazine (@ringmagazine) August 27, 2026 The public reaction told an entirely different story. Fans zeroed in on Benn looking completely drained, pointing out his sunken cheekbones, hollow eyes, and whether his chin can actually hold up against Garcia on September 12 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Hrgovic Exposes Itauma’s Temper Hrgovic repeatedly labeled Itauma a protected “golden child” steered carefully toward this title opportunity. The way that Itauma lost his temper today was a signal that Hrgovic’s comments have gotten to him. The reaction…
