BARCLAYS PREMIER LEAGUE 17/18 PREVIEW: GAMEWEEK 9

Gameweek 9’s here again, and we can’t wait. Wait, Harry has to. *cries in FPL*. Guess City will share the goals again this weekend.
Old Trafford the first venue of our games. The Theatre of dreams striving up
to match Leo Di Caprio’s masterpiece. Tottenham visit Man United, and you bet it will be a cracker. Big game Lukaku itching for his name to be up in lights. Christian Eriksen, Dele Alli, and Son Heung-Min looking to take a scalp off the title contenders. Title contenders against the Title pretenders.
The 3pm games then come quickly. Seemingly rejuvenated Mesut Özil welcomes Swansea City to the Emirates. Arsenal were superb last time out, with the trio (Alexis, Lacazette, and Özil) all scoring. Crystal Palace entertain West Ham, Klopp hosts his pal Dave Wagner and Huddersfield Town, Watford receive Stoke, Pep travels to West Brom. The 5:30 game has Chelsea visiting the Vitality. Bournemouth v Conte. N’Golo still sidelined by the way. Alvaro Morata is in the squad.
Gear up, it’s going to be some Saturday alright. Let’s see how the Happy One fares.

EPL 18/19: DERBY DAY IN MANCHESTER

We’re not scared anymore. A rather defiant Pep Guardiola hinted in his press conference yesterday, as City prepare for their game in hand v Oleball’s Man United. Who will be the King Of The North? Manchester United got thumped by a spirited Everton side this past Sunday. If that’s anything to go by, then it’s probably curtains for Sir Alex’s grandkids. Positive is, Old Trafford can be a daunting presence when needed. You just never know with this club. Ney still having mares of that night in the French capital. Last time out, goals from Kun Agüero and Ilkay Gündogan k illed off any comeback. Can’t be the same again yeah? “Ole’s at the wheel yeah?” (c)bleacherreport.com City fans have been chanting the Campeones anthem already, after Saturday’s win v Pochettino. No VAR sadly then. Victory the maximum, or it could just slip. Yes, that’s the word. Skye Sports confirm a certain Scouse just signed as a fr...

UCL 18/19: IT’S AN ALL-ENGLISH AFFAIR

(c) https://www.teamtalk.com/ Cue Mo Salah. Whew. Taken a breath yeah? This is why we love the game. It’s never over till AY says so, or the lady. What a 48 hours it’s been. This season has shown us one thing on different occasions: fortune really does favour the brave. Brave? Or a case of the never-disappearing bottle. Barcelona threw away a 3-0 lead, again. Jürgen Klopp having another Istanbul-like night. Borussia Dortmund suffered the same in 2016. What makes this more special, is the fact that they did it without Mo’ Salah and Firmino. When you’re backed up against the wall, it seems that’s when true character is shown. Hats off for Liverpool, and to Jürgentainment Klopp. Who’d have thought too much passion would be a good thing? (c) https://www.businessinsider.com/ Mauricio Pochettino did not sign a single player in the last two transfer windows, didn’t have the Kane Man, an...

UCL 18/19 SEMIFINAL REVIEW: FIRST LEG

Europe’s elite club competition served up another dose of rich entertainment, not for everyone though. It seems you shouldn’t disrespect an almost-hallowed football ground. Giant-killing Ajax Amsterdam added another victim to the list, with a deserved 1-0 away win at Spurs’ new ground. Donny Van De Beek afforded far too much time in the 18-yard as Hugo Lloris was left exposed. Spurs huffed and puffed as the game came to a close, with Dele Alli only forcing a save from André Onana. Special mention to Jan Vertonghen who recovered after taking a whack which left him bloodied for a bit. Pochettino still has hope as Son Heung-Min would be back from suspension. Ajax looked rattled for a bit as Sissoko and co chased and harried. Fear it, dread it, run from it: Destiny still arrives. Did you really think Leo Messi was going to let this one slip? Liverpool got taught the lesson of the famous smash and grab: Liverpool pl...
