Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney reacts to Jose Mourinho dropping him
- October 06, 2016
I didn't deserve to play the next game and the team have done well, so I have to bide my time and take my chance. He's been fantastic since he got into the Manchester United squad and he's carried that on this season. "I showed them a page of things that had gone really well - big matches I'd played in, things I'd won". "But it has all blown up". "Of course we have to come here and be prepared to do our job", Rooney said. (more...)

Pyne staffer among 'stripping' Aussies at Malaysian grand prix
- October 06, 2016
As has become custom, the Aussie celebrated with a shoey; he even convinced teammate and second place finisher Max Verstappen, third place finisher Nico Rosberg, and Red Bull Racing Team Principal Christian Horner to play along. The fear is that that the nine arrested Australians, one of whom, Jack Walker, is reportedly a staffer for Liberal frontbencher, Christopher Pyne, will be used as a political football by the besieged Prime Minister Najib Razak as he attempts to garner support by ...

Blind Umpires Decide to Determine NL Playoff Race Instead of the Players
- October 06, 2016
That's a game-ending play. Down the stretch, we have seen a three-way tie, back to a two-way tie. "I saw the replay and I thought Bryan got out there in time-maybe it was 15 or 20 seconds". According to Fox Sports, Price and the Reds have a rightful argument. Umpire Jim Joyce clearly missed a call at first base that should have been the 27th out of a ideal game for Tigers pitcher Armando Galarraga against the Indians in June 2010, but it stood as an infield hit.

Wenger delighted with team win
- October 06, 2016
For this reason we must be humble and understand the moment and that we need to work a lot to improve and change our story. I felt that in the last three weeks, our team was on the way up. "I don't like this". "It's a team problem, not an individual player problem". The only negative for Wenger was losing midfielder Francis Coquelin to a first-half knee injury. (more...)

United must come back stronger after international break - Herrera
- October 06, 2016
These are the kind of games we shouldn't draw at home because we played fantastic. Maybe we go to Liverpool and create [only] two chances and yet we win the game. That is a very important game as well. "This is football and we have to accept that".

Arsene Wenger admits he got lucky on his anniversary weekend with Arsenal
- October 06, 2016
Sanchez and Walcott dragged early chances wide in a cagey first half and Burnley should have gone in ahead, but Sam Vokes headed a glorious opening wide. "If you add in the referee's part on the time and the handball, it is very frustrating". Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain appeared to knock the ball on to the France global, with the ball eventually finding its way past goalkeeper Tom Heaton via Koscielny's arm. (more...)

Tom Brady back and rarin' to go for Patriots
- October 06, 2016
Now, one could reasonably infer that Brady's media blackout is a shot at the National Football League from Belichick and the Patriots. As bad as the Browns defense is against a ground attack, it makes sense. First time starters Garoppolo and Brisset, even though inexperienced, were prepared for their starts and each executed like veterans. Rookie Cody Kessler was 28-of-40 passing for 223 yards with one touchdown and one pick, while Isaiah Crowell rushed 16 times for 120 yards and a score. (more...)
