Pep Guardiola’s side have been in inspired form so far this season and supporters will soon get to go behind the scenes at the Etihad Stadium. Man City to win the first half v Foxes 4/5 Goal revealed in September that a multi-episode series was in the pipeline, and City have now confirmed that they are to star in the programme. “The story behind the coaches and players is fascinating and we are very excited to work with the Manchester City team to deliver an exclusive all access experience to our Prime members....

RUMOURS: Rooney to quit Man Utd Tuesday’s first clash of the Champions League last-16 showdown had its fair share of strikes, with Guardiola’s Manchester City getting the better of an eight-goal thriller at the Etihad Stadium. The 5-3 win came courtesy of two goals from Sergio Aguero and one apiece from Raheem Sterling, John Stones and Leroy Sane, while Willy Caballero saved a penalty when the hosts were 2-1 behind....

City recovered from an early injury to in-form striker Gabriel Jesus, with Raheem Sterling’s opener before the half hour and a Tyrone Mings own goal in the second period securing the points. Guardiola’s men kept only their sixth clean sheet in 25 top-flight matches as they moved up to second, eight points behind leaders Chelsea, and he was delighted by how Silva orchestrated closing out the contest on the front foot....

Having come up short in the 2016-17 Premier League title race to finish third, City splashed out around £220 million in the recent transfer window. Six players were brought onto their books, with deals done for Ederson, Kyle Walker, Danilo, Benjamin Mendy, Bernardo Silva and Douglas Luiz. The fresh faces have helped City to make an unbeaten start to the season, with a 6-0 mauling of Watford in their latest outing seeing them set the early pace alongside arch-rivals Manchester United....

Guardiola steered City to the title with five games remaining of his second campaign in charge, with the EFL Cup already secured via a 3-0 Wembley win over Arsenal in February. The 47-year is due to enter the third and final year of his Etihad Stadium deal next term, having spent four and three years at Barcelona and Bayern Munich respectively in his previous jobs. There is an understandable appetite for Guardiola to renew among City’s fanbase given the dominant nature of their title triumph and he offered some tentative encouragement in that regard ahead of Sunday’s home game against Swansea City....

Roberts netted Celtic’s fourth-minute opener before Kelechi Iheanacho levelled matters in a Champions League dead rubber that finished 1-1 at the Etihad Stadium. However, while Guardiola was impressed by Roberts, who is on an 18-month loan at Celtic, he feels it would be foolhardy to make a decision on his future based on one performance. “He scored a good goal,” said Guardiola. “We are going to talk about it at the end of the season....

Mancini not looking for PL return The Argentine defender has praised the Catalan’s relentless drive for improvement but says the short attention span of some means that they are not fans of the daily sessions. “We watch a lot of videos, and sometimes I know it’s a bit boring for some of the players to be watching videos every day,” he said. “But [it’s great] for the players who really love football and enjoy watching … I’m talking about 20 minutes of video, or 25 minutes, not an hour or two hours!...

If the bandwagon had a frequent-rider program. Vanilla (“Ice Ice Baby”) Ice might be mileage champ. Rappers like Dr. Dre and Cypress Hill have been high on the charts with odes to pot, so is it coincidence that Ice, viewed by many as a walking marketing strategy, has a new single, “Roll’Em Up,” that’s–drumroll, please–a paean to weed? “I ain’t going with no fad,” counters Ice. “I did that song about three years ago....

While playing with Tigres in Liga MX, he earned his first call-ups to the Argentina national team and eventually made his debut in March of last year. Pizarro moved to Sevilla in the summer to join Eduardo Berizzo’s side at the club where new Argentina boss Jorge Sampaoli had just left. It seemed like the 2018 World Cup was a possibility for Pizarro. Things have changed. First, Pizarro struggled with an injury....

The Second Amendment guarantees our right to bear arms. And if you look at the lives that are taken by gun violence, it’s a very minuscule percentage that are taken by these so-called weapons of war, which are not weapons of war. These are not weapons that the military uses. People actually use AR 15s for hunting. There’s a lot of people who do. There’s a lot of people who use it for home defense....

Pogba needs Man Utd to sign Fabregas The German arrived at Old Trafford from Bayern Munich last summer during Louis van Gaal’s reign but has since been frozen out by new manager Jose Mourinho and written off as an assest in the club’s accounts. Schweinsteiger last featured for United in March but Gundogan, who joined City during the summer, feels the 32-year-old still has a lot to give amid a stuttering start for Mourinho....

“GunPla is all fictional and in your imagination,” Lim told Newsweek. “They are fun, easy to build and allow you to create something from the show or straight out of your mind.” Gundam, one of the longest running animated franchises, stars a collection of robots and pilots that do battle across the cosmos. The original Mobile Suit Gundam debuted in 1979, and the first model kits followed shortly after in 1980....

The stunning announcement came two days before the No. 13 Bulldogs (4-1, 2-1 Southeastern Conference) face No. 23 Missouri (4-1, 1-0) in a crucial Eastern Division game, a huge blow to both the team and Gurley’s Heisman Trophy hopes. Georgia officials did not reveal the alleged violation. SI.com, citing an anonymous source, reported that the school was investigating whether Gurley was paid $400 to sign 80 pieces of memorabilia on the Georgia campus this past spring....

He figures maybe that Charlie Ward-led offense in 1993 was a precursor to the wave of fast-paced offenses that have helped Malzahn and others win big and even sparked a proposal to change the rules. "I was telling Coach on the way over here, I was watching Charlie Ward when they were playing shotgun and they'd go back and they'd start playing with pace," Malzahn said Sunday. "I think Coach is one of those guys that kind of started a lot of this wide-open offense, so (Ward) could definitely run our offense....

Ford Performance announced Deegan’s move Saturday as she was making her trucks debut at Kansas. She will run a full schedule for DGR-Crosley in the 2021 season. “Obviously that’s our goal for next but we’ve still got a few deals to sign,” Deegan told reporters on a Zoom call after finishing 16th in Saturday’s race (per Fox Sports). She added that she believes those deals will come together by the end of the year....

Research of 2,000 adults who eat meat found 46 percent have previously turned their nose up at “different” foods, only to be surprised by the flavor when they actually try them. Nearly half (48 percent) confessed they wouldn’t generally consider a meal to be “complete” unless it contained meat, while 38 percent were doubtful about eating plant-based alternatives altogether. However, of those who were pleasantly surprised by meat substitutes, meat-free sausages, plant-based faux ground meat, and beef-style burgers were considered the tastiest....

A 53 percent majority of Republicans support passing Biden’s entire stimulus plan, with 50 percent citing the direct payments as the most convincing reason to support the plan, according to a survey that Democratic polling organization Navigator Research released on Thursday.

Because every effect is supposed to have a cause, people attributed Friday’s decline to yet another Gloomy Gus speech by Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan and a 1.1 percent September increase in the producer price index that raised the prospect of inflation. The PPI’s increase was the highest monthly move in nine years, as analysts intoned with great portent. But both those things seem to be justifications to dump stocks rather than causes....

“I saw something swinging from a tree,” Brunson said in an interview. “I got closer and it was a replica of a body being hung by a tree limb with a noose around its neck.” The man, who was not named in the report, said he meant no offense with the decorations. “The heads were down for a reason,” he said. “No noose tied, just square knots on the bag, heads down, feet up like monsters....
