After his performance against Liverpool, Alan Shearer complimented a superb Arsenal player and stated that the team couldn’t afford to lose him. Arsenal star Bukayo Saka’s impressive performance in the 2-2 draw with Liverpool, according to Alan Shearer, highlights how much the squad has missed the winger. Saka missed Arsenal’s last two games against Bournemouth and Shakhtar Donetsk because of an injury he sustained while playing for his country. But Saka’s Sunday comeback to the starting lineup gave Arsenal a much-needed boost in their pursuit of the Premier League title. The 23-year-old made an instant impression by finishing strong past…
LOS ANGELES About 27 years ago, George Steinbrenner, upset over the World Series defeat the night before, strode into Yankee Stadium’s home clubhouse and told his manager that the next nine innings were a “must-win game.” Without flinching, Joe Torre told an unconvinced Boss that he believed they might lose that night as well. Then, in his first season as the Yankees’ captain, Torre had doubts about his team’s chances against Greg Maddux, the opposition ace, who would undoubtedly put on an outstanding performance. However, Torre assured Steinbrenner that there was “nothing to worry about” and that they could still…
Despite hearing that they had left injured prop Frans Malherbe back in South Africa, the Springboks arrived in Jersey on Monday in a positive mood and eager to begin getting ready for their end-of-year visit to the UK. Before leaving for Scotland for their first Test of the November internationals, they will spend a week at a training camp on the Channel Island between England and France. Unfortunately for Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus and his coaching staff, Malherbe’s ankle injury sustained during Stormers’ United Rugby Championship (URC) loss to Glasgow Warriors on Saturday meant he would have to stay behind…
The ’50:50′ call made by referee Anthony Taylor cost Arsenal the victory over Liverpool, according to former Premier League official Mike Dean, but he should not be held accountable for it. With goals from Mikel Merino and Bukayo Saka at halftime, followed by a header from Virgil van Dijk, Arsenal had established a solid advantage against their fellow championship contenders. But as the match went on, Mikel Arteta witnessed an increasing number of injuries decimate his ranks. William Saliba, who was suspended, was already absent from the defence, and Martin Odegaard and other players were still recovering. Jurrien Timber and…
Xavi Hernandez is one of the early candidates mentioned for the vacant Manchester United managerial position after Erik ten Hag was dismissed on Monday, potentially influenced by a photo of his son in a shirt. The Red Devils have had a rough season under Ten Hag, winning only four out of 14 matches. However, with someone already in charge, could United already have the solution in front of them?
The New York Jets had big plans going into this season. Fans dared to hope for a postseason run that had eluded them for so long after Aaron Rodgers was brought in as the franchise’s saviour and the roster was redesigned. However, rather of reaching new heights, the squad ends up on an old and gloomy route. A devastating 25–22 loss to the faltering New England Patriots, whom many thought the Jets would easily win, was the most recent setback. The fact that they lost to a team with backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett after starter Drake Maye was sidelined by…
After Manchester United’s loss against West Ham, manager Erik ten Hag was fired. West Ham defeated United 2-1 at the London Stadium on Saturday, dropping United to 14th place in the Premier League. United said in a statement that club veteran Ruud van Nistelrooy would serve as interim manager. “We are grateful to Erik for everything he has done during his time with us and wish him well for the future,” they stated. “Ruud van Nistelrooy will take charge of the team as interim head coach, supported by the current coaching team, whilst a permanent head coach is recruited.” Ten…

Only months after he took a taxi to the finish line at the Paris Games, the world’s best marathon runner, Eliud Kipchoge, is scheduled to compete in a new event. Back in August, under strange circumstances, the two-time Olympic gold medallist halted so that Ser-Od Bat-Ochir, who finished last, could pass him after 31 km. As the audience applauded and clapped, he gave his shoes and socks to the spectators along the road before vanishing into an Olympic van—possibly the final sight of a legend at the Games. Additionally, it seems the 40-year-old has shifted his focus to other competitions…
