Real Madrid coach Zidane: I want a big year for Bale
- August 20, 2017
Rafael Benitez obviously knows a thing or two about the Real Madrid squad, but surely he must also know it would be hard for Newcastle United to take any of the club's players, fringe or otherwise. "I just said that the punishment was a little too much and that was all". Five games without Cristiano is a lot. And now Real want to tie Asensio down to a new deal that will see his wages go up by £920,000 (€1million) a year. (more...)

Manchester United thrash Swansea 4-0
- August 20, 2017
Mourinho spoke about "letting the horses run freely" at the Liberty Stadium - a stark contrast to the angry dinner lady rhetoric of Louis van Gaal - and you could see the benefits of this mindset oozing from every player. The sooner we do it the better, but it could possibly go later in the window. Despite raucous home support, Swansea seldom threatened, always struggling to deal with United's power and pace.

- August 20, 2017

Rob Gronkowski plays in preseason for first time since 2012
- August 20, 2017
Gronkowski has not played in preseason since 2012. "But we got the ball back down there and we punched it in and that's all we can ask for". "I think he'll be a good player, but I think this is just one step along the way", O'Brien said. Running Back D'Onta Foreman turned some heads in the Texans 27-23 win over the Patriots . One reason to be concerned: The team is thin at defensive end after top draft pick Derek Rivers sustained a season-ending torn ACL on Wednesday. (more...)

Armstrong signs new Cetlic deal to end speculation
- August 20, 2017
However, some were critical over Armstrong's handling of the contract situation, which has dragged on in recent weeks and months to bring uncertainty to Celtic. Once he did he was one of our best players last season. "Every player wants to play and perform at the highest possible level".

Everton to debut third kit away at Manchester City
- August 20, 2017
Against Tottenham, no. I have two wonderful strikers, two No. 9s, for example, Sergio. Ones to watch - It's more of a case of who not to watch with the number of superstars gracing the sky blue, but I'll give it a go. I have been a manager for years and I don't have to announce to all the managers in the world about the space in behind.

Chelsea have to decide what to do, says Costa
- August 20, 2017
It's amusing, this interview". In the clip Costa was wearing Chelsea shorts after insisting the Blues were pricing him out of his dream move to Atletico Madrid . The Blues are looking to sign the 30-year-old Italy global in a £25m deal. This is still a champion side, and even with their many absences (whether it be for injury, transfer or going on strike reasons), there are still a number of good players there that they can call on.
