Premier League champions Manchester City start their title defence at St James Park against a much-changed Newcastle United side desperate to improve on last season s performance. The Citizens will be hoping to make amends for the Community Shield loss to Arsenal, but they have a number of key players lacking match fitness.
After coming incredibly close to achieving a top 4 finish in the 2011/2012 campaign, Newcastle largely struggled in the next two seasons, with the fans constantly criticizing the club s lack of spending and ambition. The supporters seem to have finally been heard as the Magpies made a host of quality signings this summer, with the likes of Daryl Janmaat, Siem de Jong, Emmanuel Riviere, Jack Colback and Remy Cabella arriving among others. And with Mathieu Deb…
Monaco playmaker Joao Moutinho has confirmed his plans to return to FC Porto before his playing career comes to an end.
The highly rated footballer caused a great deal of controversy when he left Sporting CP to sign for the Dragons, and despite spending just three years at Estadio do Dragao, the 29-year-old is eager to return one day in the future.
Moutinho admits he has a soft spot for FC Porto and that he plans to represent the club one more time before he hangs up his boots.
“I have said that one day I would like to return and it doesn’t matter if it happens in one, two or five years,” Moutinho said at a press conference.
“It’s a club that struck me and continues to do so. It’s a club I like and support.”
Joao Moutinho has been l…
Glasgow Rangers have confirmed the signings of Glen Kamara and Jordan Jones on pre-contract agreements.
Kamara, 23, is a midfielder playing for Dundee at the moment, and having signed a two-year deal with them in the summer of 2017, he has now agreed to join Rangers when it expires after this season ends. He started out at Arsenal, but he made only one League Cup substitute appearance for the Gunners. He also had loan spells with Southend United and Colchester United, before signing for Dundee.
Jones, a year older than Kamara, is also a midfielder. His career began at Middlesbrough, but like Kamara at Arsenal, he played only once for his first club and had two loan spells, with Hartlepool United and Cambridge United. He joined Kilmarnock in 2016 and made 107 appearances…
Atalanta head coach Gian Piero Gasperini laughed off claims Cristiano Ronaldo has been culpable for Manchester United s inconsistent form and offered the Portuguese star praise after his last-gasp equaliser.
Ronaldo volleyed home a 91st-minute equaliser to deny Atalanta three points in their dramatic 2-2 draw in the Champions League on Tuesday.
The five-time Ballon d Or winner levelled the game twice late in each half, after Josip Ilicic s 12th-minute opener and Duvan Zapata s 56th-minute strike.
During United s lean run of form, there had been some criticism of Ronaldo for his defensive work, but he has now scored in every group game in this season s Champions League.
Ronaldo, 36, became the oldest player to score two or more goals in a game for United i…
Barcelona have been buoyed by the news that Gerard Pique will be available for the La Liga showdown with Real Madrid next week.
The Spain defender was under investigation after collecting a booking for time-wasting in Tuesday s La Liga win over Rayo Vallecano.
The yellow card was Pique s fifth of the season, thus ruling him out of this weekend s clash with Levante at the Camp Nou.
There was a suggestion, though, that the player might have got himself booked deliberately in order to avoid running the risk of being suspended for El Clasico.
However, after investigating the circumstances surrounding Pique s cautioning, taking into account the notes of match referee Miguel Angel Perez Lasa, the Competition Committee could find no evidence of anything untowa…
Palestine scored their first Asian Cup goal but it was not enough to keep their tournament alive as Jordan routed them in Melbourne.
Jordan thumped Palestine 5-1 in Melbourne on Friday to stay alive at the Asian Cup and end their neighbours first appearance at the tournament in the group stages.
Both teams were seeking to bounce back from defeat in their opening matches of Group D and it was Ray Wilkins side who responded in style at AAMI Park, with four-goal hero Hamza Al-Dardour and a Yousef Al Rawashdeh strike sealing all three points for the 2011 quarter-finalists.
While the result ultimately proved a formality, Jordan s preparations for the game could scarcely have been more chaotic.
Wilkins, who on Thursday forgot his tournament accreditation an…
Watford have made an approach for West Bromwich Ablion forward Saido Berahino, .
The Hornets are keen to bring in a striker with questions over the futures of both Troy Deeney and Odion Ighalo, while Premier League champions Leicester City have also thrown their hat into the ring with Jamie Vardy linked with a switch to Arsenal.
Berahino has long been linked with a move away from the Hawthorns, with Tottenham Hotspur often mooted as his most likely destination.
Newcastle United also failed in an attempt to secure his services after the North East club saw a £21m rejected in January.
Since making his Baggies debut in the 2012/13 campaign, the twenty-two year old has racked up one hundred and thirteen appearances in all competitions, scoring thirty-s…
