Konsa claims Emery right to call Aston Villa players lazy

Yeah, it's a fair comment. I think everyone has seen the picture, seen the goal. Here we pride ourselves in trying to play a high line, it is something the boss has instilled since he first came. We didn't quite get it right. Things have not been good for us so far this season. But there are blips in the season and we are going through that now. Hopefully we can move on.

NFL: One Takeaway For Each Team From Week Three Of The 2025-26 Season

That was a huge blown opportunity. The Cards had a chance to take sole possession of first place in the NFC West. Yet, they somehow couldn't stop Mac Jones from putting together a ten-play, 63-yard drive in 1:46 that led to the 49ers kicking a game-winning field goal. That is a major red flag for a head coach who is supposed to be a defensive specialist. This loss might end up being the difference between Arizona making and missing the 2026 NFL Playoffs.

Gary Neville slams one particular Leeds United player

Teams that come up from the Championship will not be able to play out the back against Arsenal. They're one of the best defensive and pressing sides in the league! The goalkeeper had two or three warnings. Gyokeres just has to settle himself down. Maybe he's reaching but he should do a lot better. That should be the final warning for Leeds, it's ridiculous.
