Pep Guardiola has one job at Manchester City. Win the Champions League. The Premier League wins are nice, the cups are nice, but everyone and their mother knows the club's main ambition is to conquer Europe. Pep has now gone three years at City, and six years without Messi, without winning the Champions League. That's …

Manchester United’s rebuild has no chance if the owners and coaches can’t get on the same page
The Daily Mirror: Anthony Martial's Manchester United future is secure – because the forward is viewed as the club's "Pele" by co-chairman Joel Glazer. Martial's focus and commitment have been called into question by current United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his predecessor Jose Mourinho. Both expressed concerns about the France striker's attitude in training …
What’s next for Paul Pogba?
When the Paul Pogba to Real Madrid rumors first started my initial reaction was to just ignore them. Pogba was with France on international duty, France star Zinedine Zidane had just been named manager of Real Madrid. Of course Pogba was going to say it would be a dream to play for him. He's with …
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer sees the need for United to improve their team
Following Manchester United's 2-0 loss to Paris Saint Germain Tuesday night Ole Gunnar Solskjaer seemed to conjure up the same soundtrack that's been heard after every loss at Old Trafford this season. Our squad isn't good enough, we need to improve it. This sentiment used to be heard almost weekly under Jose Mourinho. It's telling …

Congratulations Daniele Orsato, people now know who you are
What a fucking bullshit game. I hate blaming refs, and I don't even think he cost United the match, but seriously fuck this guy. He did a horrific job. Was completely inconsistent across the board. In the first half PSG made it clear United were the better team. They were hacking and flopping every chance …

I’ve got news for English football fans, Alan Shearer isn’t as good as you remember him
Sergio Aguero scored his 11th Premier League hat-trick Sunday in Manchester City's 6-0 thrashing of Chelsea, equaling Alan Shearer's Premier League record of 11 hat-tricks. As someone who ran a social media account for a major media company let me tell ya, when something like that happens over the weekend your job is real easy Monday morning. …
The tone-deaf Mets are waiving ticket fees in the month of February as if that will help sell tickets

Fans will be able to purchase tickets to any 2019 Mets home game at Citi Field with the Mets covering the associated ticket fees until Thursday, February 28. Unbelievable. …
Manchester United vs Burnley preview
https://twitter.com/ManUtd/status/1090323744994877442 Obviously it's "in Ole I trust" but very interesting squad selection from the boss today. Anthony Martial is hurt (according to MUTV) so that explains his absence. It's a very Mourinho team and looks to play a very Mourinho style. That makes sense. Burnley are a physical team and won't see a lot of …
NBCSN will simulcast three hours of Sky Sports News “Deadline Day” coverage
Back in the day I remember Sky Sports News used to air on Fox Soccer Channel every day at 12:00pm and again at 6pm. On Sundays, I think they'd air it at 7pm, which was great because I used to love watching English broadcasters present NFL highlights. (I imagine I felt exactly the same way …
