Ex-Real’s managers in a battle for Premier League points

Xabi Alonso and Alvaro Arbeloa met for the first time in Liverpool in 2007. Before that, the Spanish midfielder was in Real Sociedad, while his future teammate was in Deportivo La Coruna. Since then, they played in 262 games together for Liverpool, Real Madrid and Spain. But what is more interesting is that Arbeola basically followed Alonso almost wherever he went, and that trend which started in 2007 continued until the present time. Both players spent two years at Anfield together (Xabi arrived in 2004) and then went to Real Madrid in 2009. Xabi was the first to leave Spain again, as he moved to Bayern Munich in 2014. Alonso didn’t follow him and that was the only time they weren’t together in the same club/country as he went to West Ham to finish his career.Chelsea strikers in high demand: EPL clubs lock horns over Delap, Jackson on Spanish giants’ radarBy the end of May 2017 both players finished their playing career. Alonso decided to become the coach and in 2018 took his first co..

Ollie is doing an Isak and Emery is on the edge

Last year’s revelation hasn’t start the season well. Aston Villa surprised everybody when they not only finished as fourth in the Premier League last season, but also won the Europa League, their first European trophy after 44 years. Unai Emery established himself as one of the top 5 managers in the league as he somehow managed to play good football, win and deal with injuries in a relatively small team. But nothing was good since. Just like Newcastle, Aston Villa is trying to catch up with the so-called ‘Big Six’, but PSR rules have severely damaged them. Despite going to the Champions League, they were forced to sell and weakened the team in the process. On top of that, they were hammered 4-0 at the start of the season and their best striker refused to play in order to facilitate a transfer.Unai Emery has just created an all-timer. 😭 pic.twitter.com/Fuc5KtOs24— No Context Prem (@NoContextEPL) August 23, 2026 Despite not playing in Europe this season, Chelsea managed to buy Morgan Rod..

How Kenyan music stole show at concluded 2026 FEASSSA Games

If you board a bus in Dar es Salaam to Morogoro, you might expect the music playing through the speakers to be entirely Tanzanian.That assumption quickly disappears once the journey begins, because somewhere between the busy streets of Dar and the winding road towards Morogoro, Kenyan voices regularly take over the bus.Mbosso can be playing one minute, followed by Bien, Willy Paul or Bahati, before Sauti Sol, Diamond Platnumz or Zuchu takes over.Download our Mozzart Sport App for more newsFor a Kenyan who has just crossed into Tanzania, there is something familiar about hearing those songs at full volume, with passengers singing along to some of the biggest hits as the bus makes its way inland.The same thing can be seen in Morogoro, where Kenyan music has found listeners in shops, restaurants, salons and roadside hangouts.##NAJAVA_MECA_9907536##It may not dominate the way Bongo Flava does, but it is certainly not unfamiliar, particularly among young people who follow music across borde..

Atletico has to protect Alvarez from its own fans

Throughout the current transfer window, the main talking point has been Julian Alvarez. His future has become a full-blown saga, and it now looks as though the story will end with him staying at Atletico Madrid. That was not what he had hoped for, nor what he had wanted, and he could be in for an uncomfortable spell at the club, at least for a while. His wishes were not granted, and he failed to force through a move to Barcelona. During the home game against Villarreal, the stadium announcer read out the names of the starters one by one before moving on to the substitutes. Thunderous applause could be heard until one particular moment — when Julian Alvarez’s face appeared on the big screen. That was when everything changed. His first and last name were drowned out by deafening noise. The Metropolitano erupted in anger, giving the fans the perfect opportunity to make their feelings known. They see his desire to join Barcelona as a betrayal and have shown little willingness to forgive hi..

African gem for 100 million? Bring him over

The season is already underway, the transfer window is nearing its conclusion, and Manchester City had run out of time. They had to step things up and get serious if they were not to throw the entire campaign away. And so, on the same day, they agreed deals for two new signings.

Confirmed by multiply sources both in England and France, Manchester City have reached an agreement with Lille after several weeks of negotiations for the signing of the hugely talented Moroccan midfielder, who will become the third-most expensive purchase in the English club’s history.

And the second one in the space of just two months.Elliot Anderson became the club’s record signing around a month ago a..
