England stun Spain and and show that World Cup run was no fluke

October 15, 2018

So, it wasn’t a dream after all.

Three months ago, as England sweltered in its endless summer, the nation was giddy at the prospect of a World Cup semi-final and Gareth Southgate was enjoying his unlikely ascension to the status of national treasure.

October 7, 2018

On an afternoon of few chances at Anfield, Riyad Mahrez was guilty of the most conspicuous miss, blazing a late penalty high into the stands when a winning goal and all three points beckoned for Manchester City.

Manchester United v Newcastle: Old foes Jose Mourinho and Rafael Benitez have chance to twist the knife

October 4, 2018

Perhaps, after the final whistle has blown at Old Trafford on Saturday evening, Jose Mourinho and Rafael Benitez will gather in the Manchester United manager’s office and share a bottle of vintage claret, as Sir Alex Ferguson was fond of doing, and reminisce about the good old days.
