But not until this day did we know that this even applies to a vote of confidence that comes from Jonjo Shelvey – a man so devoted to the righteously upstanding that he once accused Alex Ferguson of grassing, following a high tackle committed in front of 45,000 fans, a worldwide television audience of millions and in full view of the referee.Re: Marc Cucurella’s tattoo (Wednesday’s full email edition). So you’re saying he got a champ stamp? I’ll see myself out” – Andy Beller.Hats off to the Brazil Superior Court of Sports Justice for banning Victor Gabriel for however long it takes his injured opponent to recover (Wednesday’s news). Building on this initiative, perhaps we should record the amount of time players waste rolling around on the floor feigning injury, and hand out bans of equivalent duration at the start of the next match” – John Collins (not that one).Far be it for me to offer a conspiracy theory, but Joshua Kushner is the brother of real estate developer Jared Kushner, who is the son-in-law of … Donald Trump.

He certainly introduced to me the concept of a talented sportsman using his skills to game the ref or gain an advantage rather than play the bloody game. For all his self-deprecating humour and quirky bloody car, he showed his soul on the pitch. As for that car, the cabriolet lacked stability and would flop about at random – an appropriate choice for the man” – Jon Millard.This is an extract from our daily football email … Football Daily.

According to various sources, Bournemouth are determined to keep hold of Alex Scott, despite strong interest from some of Premier League’s biggest clubs, as well as his rejection of a new contract offer which would include a release clause. Liverpool were the first to be linked with the 22-year-old midfielder – those rumours seem to […] The post Bournemouth stand firm in face of Alex Scott interest appeared first on SoccerNews.
Sir Alex Ferguson has paid tribute to Newcastle and England legend Kevin Keegan, who passed away on Monday at the age of 75. The Scottish manager and Keegan shared one of the most famous rivalries in Premier League history as Manchester United and Newcastle United battled for the title in 1996.
Ferguson says Keegan’s Newcastle was their best team‘Kevin carried the love of the game on his sleeve’Sir Alex Ferguson has saluted Kevin Keegan for building Newcastle’s “greatest team”. Keegan, who had cancer, died on Monday at the age of 75 and Ferguson has joined the tributes for one of football’s most endearing characters.Ferguson and Keegan were involved a fierce battle for Premier League supremacy, with Ferguson’s Manchester United pipping Newcastle to the title in 1996. “I had the utmost respect for him,” Ferguson told Track Radio. “We had many duels when he was manager of Newcastle, but the job he did at Newcastle was fantastic. He re-energised that club and he brought that enthusiasm and fanaticism great supporters can give. Continue reading...
The former England manager may be remembered by many for his ‘I’d love it’ rant in 1996, but that should not obscure the remarkable nature of his football careerKevin Keegan, who has died aged 75, is the only British player to win the Ballon d’Or twice, was the star of Liverpool’s first European Cup-winning team, a messianic figure at Newcastle United as a player and coach, forging a team so memorable that Fifa’s president wrote to commend him, and was the captain and then manager of the England men’s national team. And yet, as Keegan would ruefully reflect, he will principally be remembered by many for an emotional outburst that precipitated Newcastle’s historic failure in a Premier League title race, a TV interview which presaged the coming era of the modern game.Keegan’s “I’d love it” rant of April 1996, directed at Alex Ferguson, became a meme before the modern meaning of the word and social media even existed, repeatedly played on Sky Sports and becoming indelibly marked in the minds of multiple generations, many not even born when it occurred. It frequently tops polls as the most memorable moment in Premier League history and foreshadowed an era where digital clips and personality narratives would dominate football coverage.

Michael Carrick’s first signing is a surprise, but the Brazil midfielder will help the team deal with Casemiro’s exitBy Opta AnalystAndrey Santos moving from Chelsea to Manchester United was not on our summer transfer window bingo card, but the Brazilian has become Michael Carrick’s first signing. United desperately needed reinforcements in midfield, especially after Casemiro’s departure and Manuel Ugarte’s long-term injury, so deals for Santos and Youri Tielemans will be welcomed by fans.Tielemans looks like particularly good business – he captains Belgium, has made 244 appearances in the Premier League and was available for £35m – but Santos is a more curious choice. He was often a backup player for Chelsea last season as they finished seven places and 19 points behind United; he is not the finished article, and played for one of United’s rivals. Since Alex Ferguson retired 13 years ago, United had only signed four players from their “big six” rivals: Juan Mata, Nemanja Matic, Mason Mount (all Chelsea) and Alexis Sánchez (Arsenal).

Motherwell have signed New Zealand goalkeeper Alex Paulsen on loan from Bournemouth, two years after he made a reported £2m move to the Premier League side. The 24-year-old, who was part of his nation's 2026 World Cup squad but did not feature, caught the attention of the English top-flight club after a breakout spell at Wellington Phoenix. Paulsen arrives following fellow goalkeeper Calum Ward's move from Fir Park to Queens Park Rangers and joins international team-mate Elijah Just in Lanarkshire.
