Dimitri Payet admits he "knows how to be ad***head" in amusing interview
- September 07, 2017
After a hard year with West Ham, Sakho fancied an exit, and believed the London club would grant him his wish. And although he said Bilic managed him "like a father", the Croat was not enough to keep Payet in the Premier League . Edimilson Fernandes, who played in all three of the Hammers' matches so far, hurt his ankle while playing for Switzerland's Under-21s, while Andre Ayew suffered a thigh injury playing for his native Ghana.

Ronaldinho speaks on Coutinho's failed move to Barcelona
- September 07, 2017
As for Barca, while they may not have got their way in prising him from Liverpool's clutches, it's unlikely to end their interest in the 25-year-old, and it wouldn't be surprising if they were to return for him at a later date. "This season they [Liverpool] will see him give everything for the club - that is the sort of player he is", Ronaldinho is quoted as saying by the Daily Mirror . (more...)

Rafael Nadal survives rough first set to roll into Open's 2nd week
- September 07, 2017
Del Potro long has been popular, but became even more so since returning from three operations on his left wrist that kept him out of Grand Slam action for two years and sent his ranking out of the top 100. Two-time U.S. Open victor Nadal is on course to win his second grand slam of the year after sealing the French Open title in June. Federer said: "I struggled the first couple of rounds, but that had something to do with my opponents as well". (more...)
