Bayern Munich 5, Arsenal 1 Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger admits their Champions League hopes are dangling by a thread after they suffered a record-equalling thrashing at Bayern Munich.

Jose Mourinho is a runaway train and should admit he has been wrong if he is to turn around Chelsea’s miserable season

November 3, 2015

They are just four words but, if he is going to resurrect Chelsea’s season and his hopes of staying in charge beyond the next few days, Jose Mourinho may just need to utter them. “I’ve got it wrong” is where he ought to start, because I think this season’s mess is one of his own [...]

Time for England to replace Jos Buttler and give James Taylor a chance in third Test against Pakistan

October 28, 2015

It looks to me as though things are preying on wicketkeeper Jos Buttler’s mind after failing to shake off his batting woes against Pakistan. He averages just 12 since the start of the Ashes in July and is probably putting too much pressure on himself. Everybody knows how good a player Buttler is but I [...]
Jason Roy interview: Kevin Pietersen is brilliant and I want to be a match-winner every game, but I’m me – not the young KP

October 28, 2015

He may be spearheading England’s one-day renaissance but power-hitting opening batsman Jason Roy concedes that his extracurricular antics were not always befitting of a player craving international acclaim. South Africa-born Roy was a prominent figure during this summer’s battles against New Zealand and Australia as England took the first tentative steps towards building a prosperous [...]
West Ham are bound for Europe under brilliant Slaven Bilic – if they can keep Dimitri Payet fit

October 27, 2015

It's impossible not to be impressed by West Ham this season and in particular the job done by Slaven Bilic since the Croatian took charge as manager in the summer.
