England number one Hart moved to Torino on loan in August after falling behind Willy Caballero in the pecking order at the Etihad Stadium and seeing Guardiola bring in Claudio Bravo from Barcelona. Hart this week told the BBC he feels “surplus to requirements” at City, while his agent Jonathan Barnett told Sky Sports his future beyond this season had not been discussed with the Premier League club. Hart: I’m not wanted at Man City...
Walker joined City for an eyebrow-raising £50 million from Tottenham last July, becoming the most expensive English footballer of all-time. But the 27-year-old has proved a solid investment, establishing himself as a vital member of Guardiola’s side, who head to Everton on Saturday two wins away from adding the Premier League crown to last month’s EFL Cup triumph. Along with lending width and penetration to City’s attack from full-back, Walker’s adherence to what Guardiola demands of his wide defenders – composure in possession and a willingness to come in-field and build play – has also impressed....

Barcelona create CL history Guardiola had become tired of answering that question in recent weeks as his City side dramatically improved their own form and stayed as close to Chelsea as possible, even with the Londoners appearing infallible. Even if City had won on Wednesday night they would have been eight points behind Chelsea. As it stands now they are 10 behind. They can forget about the title now but chances are they had already done so anyway - Guardiola told his players both publicly and privately to focus on the next game and to ensure they improved their own performances....
The 23-year-old has been a mainstay on the right flank for Man City this season, scoring 16 goals in 27 Premier League matches for the runaway leaders. But England manager Gareth Southgate played Sterling as an attacking central midfielder during last month’s international break, which saw the Three Lions triumph 1-0 over Netherlands and play to a 1-1 draw with Italy. “For years now, I have bemoaned the lack of English No....
The hosts fell behind at the Etihad Stadium when Ashley Barnes blasted the Clarets into the lead, but Aguero netted a double inside 93 seconds to turn things around in the second half.

Guardiola was famously impressed by Iniesta in his teenage years, telling Xavi the that he would “retire us all”, and has spoken about the pleasure of managing the virtuoso talent. “I don’t know if it is true so I prefer to wait and see what his decision is – staying in Barcelona or leaving,” said the Manchester City boss when questioned over Iniesta’s future amid reports he will move to the Chinese Super League....
The strands break up and decrease in number and elongate. This, along with hyperactive facial muscles, sun damage, and years of tobacco use all contribute to wrinkle formation. There’s nothing wrong with wrinkles, and some people view their wrinkles as evidence of a full life. They don’t mind wrinkles and don’t want to spend money or time smoothing them out. Other people, however, desire to rid themselves of wrinkles....
Indian Arrows came up with some uplifting performances during the I-League season despite finishing bottom, with a draw against Mohun Bagan and a win over Churchill Brothers where they scored twice in injury time all standing out. “At that age, you need good coaching and a place where you can be pushed. Playing against people who are at a higher level, then only you will be pushed. If you are playing against people whom you can dominate, then you are not raising yourself....

After winning a bronze medal and securing her place at this summer’s Tokyo Olympics, 31-year-old Berry was on the podium when “The Star-Spangled Banner” started playing. She then turned away from the flag to face the stands. She later placed a black T-shirt with the words “Activist Athlete” over her head. Asked about the protest during an appearance on Newsmax, Jenner—who won the decathlon event at the 1976 Olympics in Montreal—called it “disgusting....
Let’s assume Michael Jordan had gotten his way, though. Let’s say Phil Jackson had agreed to coach the team for another season. Let’s say Jordan had agreed to sign a one-year deal with the Bulls and that management had found a way, like magic, to appease chronically underpaid Scottie Pippen as he approached the free agency he awaited so long. Could the Bulls have won it again? GREER: Three big flaws in “The Last Dance”...
