Rio Ferdinand Reveals Concerns Over Martin Odegaard And Believes Two Players Can’t Be Relied Upon
Rio Ferdinand believes that the pressure of becoming captain on Martin Odegaard will cause a drop in performance and also has a lack of confidence in their midfield options. Arsenal opened the Premier League season with a 2-0 win over Crystal Palace on Friday night. The Gunners were exceptional in the first half-hour and Gabriel Martinelli gave them the lead, however Palace still had their chances through Eze and Edouard. With the game coming to an end Saka’s cross was diverted into Palace’s goal by Marc Guehi to cement Arsenal’s victory. Rio Ferdinand on Vibe With Five YouTube show revealed that he was not impressed with Martin Odegaards performance after being named captain and has concerns over Granit Xhaka and Thomas Partey.

Martin Braithwaite Receives Hostile Reception From Barca Fans As Contract Dispute Rages On
Martin Braithwaite was subject to abuse from home fans at the Camp Nou on Sunday night. The ongoing contract dispute has left Barcelona fans agitated with Braithwaite and has led to him receiving abuse over social media and on the pitch. Barcelona’s financial issues are still present with the Spanish giants unable to register several of their new signings unless they cut their wage bill. This has led to Barca pushing a number of their fringe players to leave the club including Braithwaite. However it seems the Dane is refusing to leave this summer unless he is paid what he is owed. [embedded content] Braithwaite underwent the abuse on Sunday night before the Joan Gamper Trophy friendly match against Mexican side Pumas UNAM. Before the kick-off each player was announced to the fans an...
10 Times Fans Have Fell Out With Their Own Player
It’s not uncommon for fans to be abusive to rival players during games but for home supporters to be abusive towards their own player there must have been a falling out between the two. Here are 10 times fans have fallen out with their own player. 10. Rio Ferdinand – Man United It may come as a surprise to some that Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand received abuse from United fans but back in 2005 this was the case. Ferdinand was stalling on signing a new contract with the club whilst also flirting with a move to Chelsea. United fans weren’t best pleased with this and the center back was booed in all games during preseason. The abuse must have worked because Ferdinand signed the contract and the rest is history. 9. Fernando Torres – Chelsea Fernando Torres is one of the many forwards ...

Paulo Dybala took what looks to be the worst corner in football history over the weekend and football fans around the world are all laughing about it.

Barcelona Threaten Legal Action Against De Jong and Want Him to Revert to Previous Contract
Barcelona have reportedly found evidence of criminality in Frenkie De Jong’s contract, and are eager for the Dutchman to revert back to his previous previous arrangement. His current terms were negotiated by the previous board, headed up by former president Josep Bartomeu who was ousted last year following years of gross mismanagement and fraudulent dealings. Frenkie De Jong, who has been heavily linked with the exit this summer, is keen to remain at the Nou Camp despite the club reportedly open to selling him. With the Blaugrana still unable to register the influx of new signings until they balance their wage bill, De Jong’s sale would command both a substantial transfer fee as well as cutting £470,000-a-week off their salary commitments. However, it now seems as if the current board are ...
REACTION: Man United Fans React To Disastrous Start After 2-1 Defeat Brighton
Manchester United lost 2-1 to Brighton in their opening game of the season. Erik ten Hag’s first game ended in defeat with not much joy for the United fans. The game didn’t get off to the best start when Pascal Groß scored in the 30th minute of the game. Nine minutes later, Groß scored again to double the misery on the Red Devils. All the talk pre-game was about Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese star has had a patchy pre-season, and Ten Hag opted to start him on the bench. Ronaldo came on early in the second half, and United pulled one back through Diogo Dalot. Despite the continued pressure by United, they failed to score another goal, and it’s left Ten Hag with more questions about his team. Fan Reaction Football fans aren’t shy of sharing their opinions, and Man United fans have done ju...

Harry Maguire spent last season taking the brunt of the United fan’s frustration. This season has started in the same fashion as last season for the club captain.
