Former Premier League midfielder Sandro has surprisingly come out of retirement to sign for seventh-tier side Harborough Town. Despite sitting 16th in the Southern League Premier Central, Harborough beat National League South side Tonbridge Angels 4-1 in the FA Cup last weekend to set up a mouthwatering second-round tie with League One side Reading. Perhaps feeling they were in need of some star quality before that clash, the non-league side have pulled off the audacious signing of Sandro who played 106 times for Spurs and 16 times internationally for Brazil. The 35-year-old retired in 2023 having most recently played for Portuguese…

Saka – a two-time Player of the Season at Arsenal – has enjoyed another strong start to the campaign from an individual perspective, racking up three goals and seven assists in the Premier League. The 23-year-old England international also got on the scoresheet in Arsenal’s impressive Champions League win over Paris Saint-Germain last month and will look to increase his tally at the San Siro this evening. The Gunners are in need of a…

Tottenham travel to Turkey for a Europa League match with Galatasaray hoping to exorcise some of their recent poor performances away from home. Spurs have won nine of their last 11 matches in all competitions, beating both West Ham and Aston Villa 4-1 and knocking Manchester City out of the Carabao Cup with a 2-1 success in N17, but their last two away days have been disasters. First, they blew a 2-0 half-time lead at Brighton thanks to a terrible second-half performance in which individual errors led to a 3-2 defeat, then they made the shorter trip to Crystal Palace…
Leny Yoro appears to be closing in on his return to action after being pictured in Manchester United first-team training this morning. The 18-year-old, widely regarded as one of the finest young defenders in European football, joined United in a £52million move from Ligue 1 outfit Lille back in mid-July. The deal saw Yoro become the most expensive footballer aged 18 or younger and one of the most expensive centre-backs in the history of the game. But Yoro broke his foot during United’s pre-season friendly match with Arsenal, just a fortnight after signing for the Red Devils, and the teenager…
Victory Gyokeres has had plenty of opportunities to show off his unique goal celebration at Sporting, but what is the inspiration behind it? The 26-year-old has been in incredibly good form for Sporting since joining from Coventry City last year, becoming one of the hottest strikers in world football. The Sweden international scored 43 goals in 50 games in his first season with Sporting and has shown no signs of slowing down, with 23 in 17 matches over this campaign. The latest three of those goals came in an amazing 4-1 win for Sporting over Manchester City in the Champions…
Golf star Bryson DeChambeau made a surprise and somewhat awkward appearance on stage during Donald Trump’s victory speech in Florida. After a dramatic election night in America, Trump secured his return to the White House for a second term after defeating Vice President Kamala Harris. In what became an early victory speech in Mar-a-Lago, the President-elect addressed his swathes of fans and extended thanks to family and friends who joined him on stage. But the 78-year-old was also quick to thank others in attendance, including two-time US Open champion DeChambeau. ‘We have up here today the US Open champion, he’s…
Arsenal will have Martin Odegaard available again for their Champions League showdown against Inter Milan tonight but Declan Rice will miss out. After defeat away to Newcastle United on Saturday, the Gunners face another challenging week on the road, in Italy this evening before Sunday’s trip to Chelsea. Odegaard has not played for the Gunners since the 1-1 draw with Brighton at the end of August, suffering a ‘significant ankle ligament injury’ while on international duty with Norway. With Arsenal in desperate need of a creative spark in midfield, Odegaard is in contention to make his return in Milan having…
Ronnie O’Sullivan isn’t known for his close friendships with other snooker players, but Jimmy White still has the Rocket’s unwavering affection. The Rocket and the Whirlwind have been good pals for years and it seems that friendship is as strong as ever. Asked by Eurosport which other player he would choose to be sat next to on a plane, O’Sullivan didn’t hesitate in saying: ‘Jimmy White. ‘Best company in the world, he’s funny, he’s lovely, he’s got a big heart, beautiful. He’s one of my best mates, I love him.’ The 62-year-old was O’Sullivan’s hero when he started playing snooker…
We’re into a different stage of our England development and it’s interesting to see how far we’ve come and where we’re at now. The recent international break was a great time to assess our progress as a squad. What we have noticed is some of the expectations from outside are quite different now. Maybe that is because of the success we have had. People want to know why we are not winning every match, why we’re not performing brilliantly every match and why we’re playing different players. The harsh reality is that to combine all those things is not an…
The Manchester United squad has already been surprised by Ruben Amorim, with his age taking some of them aback, according to Manuel Ugarte. The Sporting boss is just 39 years old but has already developed a glowing reputation in management and won two league titles with the Portuguese side. After dismissing Erik ten Hag the Red Devils moved pretty quickly to get hold of Amorim as his permanent replacement and a deal has been agreed, with the young manager set to take charge on 11 November. That leaves some time for United to continue with interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy…
Glenn Hoddle believes England and Chelsea playmaker Cole Palmer has the potential to become a ‘superstar’ and surpass Manchester City’s Phil Foden. Palmer and Foden were team-mates at the Etihad Stadium before the former completed a £40m move to Stamford Bridge in the summer of 2023. The presence of Premier League Player of the Year Foden was one of the reasons Man City sold Palmer as both occupy a similar position on the pitch. But Manchester City and Etihad boss Pep Guardiola must be questioning their decision after seeing Palmer’s remarkable form at Chelsea. The 22-year-old has scored 29 goals…
Incoming Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim could be handed a triple injury boost ahead of his first match in charge of the club. The Portuguese boss officially starts work at Old Trafford on 11th November, with his first match in charge 13 days later against Ipswich Town. United interim boss Ruud van Nistelrooy earned a draw against Chelsea at Old Trafford on Sunday. That was despite being without eight first-team players. The likes of Mason Mount, Antony and Harry Maguire have been out for the last three weeks. But Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia and Leny Yoro are long-term absentees. Shaw…
Enzo Maresca has made a decision on whether to drop Robert Sanchez after the Chelsea goalkeeper’s poor performance against Manchester United. Sanchez has endured a tough time since moving to Stamford Bridge from Brighton in the summer of 2023 for £20million. In his first season, he kept just three clean sheets in 16 Premier League games before struggling with injury and losing his No.1 spot to Djordje Petrovic. Maresca gave him a second chance for this campaign but the Spaniard has made a number of high profile mistakes, with the latest coming in the 1-1 draw at Old Trafford on Sunday.…
Marcus Rashford is ‘on a different planet’ to Arsenal rival Bukayo Saka and won’t fit into Ruben Amorim’s plans for Manchester United. That warning comes from former Chelsea star and coach Jody Morris, who has criticised the United forward’s lack of pressing. Amorim has been announced as United’s new head coach following the sacking of Erik ten Hag, but there are already concerns over whether he can implement his high-pressing philosophy. Pressing has been a long-standing issue for the Red Devils, with Rashford coming under severe criticism for his seeming inability or unwillingness to do so. Discussing the issue on…
Former England coach Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink believes that Morgan Rogers can follow in the footsteps of Cole Palmer given his impressive performances at Aston Villa so far this season. Signed from Championship side Middlesbrough in January last season, Rogers has made himself a mainstay in Unai Emery’s Villa side this season. The 22-year-old has started all ten Premier League games this season and notched up his third goal of the campaign in a 4-1 defeat to Tottenham last weekend. Having spent time in the Manchester City academy together, Rogers has seen Palmer go on to light up the league since…
England’s top flight football returns on Monday night as Fulham face Brentford.
Ronnie O’Sullivan picked up an impressive 6-2 win over He Guoqiang at the International Championship on Monday, having lost both games they played beforehand. The 24-year-old has caused the Rocket problems this season, beating him in the Championship League and English Open since the start of the current campaign. That defeat in the English Open in Brentwood was O’Sullivan’s last outing before the current tournament, as he pulled out of a string of events. However, the seven-time world champion looked very sharp in Nanjing in the second round, making a string of big breaks on his way to a comfortable…
Fulham manager Marco Silva has talked up his ‘good relationship’ with incoming Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim after being linked with the job himself. After the dismissal of Erik ten Hag from Old Trafford the Red Devils moved pretty quickly to appoint Amorim, who will leave Sporting and take up his new role on 11 November. However, other names were in the frame, with journalist Guillem Balague reporting that Silva had even been ‘approached’ by Manchester United. The Cottagers boss did not get the gig and will continue his project in west London, with Fulham hosting Brentford in the Premier…
