Sports Roundup: A Perfect Blend of Drama and Comedy
Welcome, sports aficionados and casual observers alike! If you thought sports was just about ball games, you’ve clearly never witnessed the glorious chaos this week has served up! So, let’s delve into this delightful concoction of hoops, kicks, and all that jazz!
The Big Bounce: Lyon-Villeurbanne Strikes!
In a thrilling basketball showdown, Lyon-Villeurbanne conquered Le Mans with a jubilant score of 85-71. Now, that’s what I call making it rain… or should we say, ‘making it bounce’? I mean, if you can’t bounce back from a tough game, then just bounce a ball instead! And for those looking to catch the action, DAZN has the streaming goods to satisfy your basketball cravings. It’s like Netflix, but with more sweat and fewer romantic comedies.
Christian Pulisic: The Injury Prone Wonder
Over in the footballing realm, Christian Pulisic, America’s sweetheart, is apparently engaged in a deep, intimate relationship with the treatment table at Chelsea. The lad’s got talent, but if picking up injuries were Olympic sport, he’d be winning gold medals left and right! Come on, Christian, it’s time to ditch the ‘paper-mâché’ approach and start being the ‘rock’ Chelsea needs!
“It’s just an incredible achievement,” said Sarina Wiegman, basking in the glory of England’s latest triumph over Austria. Meanwhile, I’m just trying to figure out my weekend plans—does it involve tea or will I catch the next game?”
Arsenal and Mikel Arteta’s Woes
Let’s not forget about Arsenal, who seem to have had more comebacks this season than a bad sitcom. They’re smelling opportunity like a dog smells food on the floor. But with injuries piling up like laundry on a busy Monday, Mikel Arteta is left praying that his squad can stay fit long enough to make something happen. Remember, it’s not a ‘new manager’, it’s a ‘same old story’ theme song echoing through the Emirates!
West Ham Women in a Bit of a Pickle
On the lady’s front, West Ham Women confirmed the postponement of their fixture against Manchester United Women. It seems the only drama that didn’t take place was on the pitch. Goodness gracious, even the football gods are having a laugh!
The Return of the Old Firm
In some more unconventional wisdom, did you know that Rangers triumphed against Celtic in the first Old Firm meeting this season? They won at Ibrox, but now, with Celtic Park returning to life, it’s anyone’s match to win… or lose spectacularly, because honestly, football fortunes fluctuate faster than a cat on a hot tin roof!
VAR or Not VAR – That is the Question!
In a recent Barnet v Arsenal showdown, our good friend VAR intervened to save Aaron Ramsdale’s bacon after he was deemed to have touched the ball before colliding with Matej Vydra. Thank goodness for technology; otherwise, we’d still be stuck arguing in the pub about “if he really touched it”—which is almost as unsatisfying as a rain-soaked pub trivia night.
A Final Thought: The Future is Bright!
With the young guns coming out of Arsenal’s Hale End academy and the old pros still kicking it on the pitch, it looks like the future of football is brighter than my mum’s Christmas sweater! Let’s raise a toast to the beautiful game, even if it sometimes resembles a game of charades played by a bunch of clowns. Until next time, keep your spirits high and your injuries low!
The Lyon-Villeurbanne team beat Le Mans on their home court, 85-71. … The good DAZN plan to watch Bourg-en-Bresse – ASVEL in streaming this …. Basketball, France: live results from Lyon-Villeurbanne I know how difficult it is against these players and this manager. Every time it is an incredible challenge for us. It is a very, very sad day. It’s the fourth time now [since Sir Alex Ferguson left] that we’ve had to sack a manager.
Christian Pulisic is a superstar in the United States and intends to earn a similar standing at club level with Chelsea, but an unfortunate habit of picking up untimely injuries needs to be shaken in west London.
The boys need some days off, there is no other solution. The opening 15 minutes were a quiet affair at a chilly Amex Stadium, and Brighton could have taken an early lead.
Speaking after the match against Austria, England manager Sarina Wiegman said: It’s just an incredible achievement.
Arsenal will certainly smell an opportunity, given only West Ham have picked up more points than the Gunners in the last six Premier League games, but they will be under no illusions.
Mikel Arteta will be hoping the knock that forced him off isn’t a long-term problem. But at the Emirates it was a case of new manager, same story for Newcastle.
They have actually got wing-backs rather than just full-backs, if I’m being honest, and the switch has worked a treat.
“West Ham United Women can confirm that Sunday’s Barclays FA Women’s Super League fixture against Manchester United Women has been postponed,” read a statement on
Rangers won the first Old Firm meeting this season 1-0 at Ibrox but this clash in the East End of Glasgow will be the first in front of a packed-out Celtic Park since 2019 as the home side aim to end their seven-game winless run in this fixture.
He was a big guy and the thing that really struck me was how big his feet were. He was so talented.
They won the ball back quicker. Everyone assumed it would be Jurgen Klopp-style heavy-metal football.
The teenage midfielder could be the latest young star to emerge from Arsenal’s Hale End academy, following in the footsteps of players like Cesc Fabregas, Jack Wilshere, Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe.
Burnley 0-1 Arsenal INCIDENT: Referee Anthony Taylor pointed to the spot when Burnley’s Matej Vydra was upended by Aaron Ramsdale after pouncing on a weak Ben White backpass, but VAR spotted the Gunners goalkeeper had made contact with the ball before the player and the decision was overturned.
“In reaching our original decision, we focused far too much on football matters and not enough on what this decision would mean for our club and the community as a whole.
Speaking at a Digital, Culture, Media and Sport committee hearing, the former sports minister added: The whole point of what we’re setting out is about long-term sustainability and the report as a whole is about enabling confidence in the system.
Lowe made at least six more tackles and interceptions combined (35) than any other player to occupy the left-back spot with a WhoScored.com rating of 7.45.
He is already a hero, but an Afcon medal would cement his status as his country’s greatest ever player.
United’s interim manager leaned over to give the pouting Portuguese what was presumably an explanation for his decision. Not that he needed to. Rashford’s goal was explanation enough.

What I don’t want to see this week is some sort of, ‘I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it, I love this club’.
A crowd of 8,000 awaited the Londoners on that occasion and defender Caleb Richards knows another special atmosphere will be in store.
The fact Arsenal had Eddie Nketiah leading the line for the final 20 minutes against Liverpool as they searched for a way back into the tie summed things up.
Manchester United’s executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward could delay his departure from the club as he oversees the appointment of the new interim – and then the new long-term – United manager (Sky Sports News, November 22).

This is Man Utd. Just because West Ham beat Aston Villa, Sheffield United and Fulham. How can you say that if you’re manager of Man Utd?

I don’t know if the pressure is off because we want to get through, we want to qualify. The players stuck at it but we didn’t play well.
It depends on the opposition and the moment within a given game, but it’s certainly something I have considered already.
People talk about the full-backs, but if those three don’t play, I don’t think it actually works as well for Liverpool.
For sure, the Premier League didn’t want to postpone the game against Leicester, maybe because we have to play against Burnley and Brighton.

Militao was shaky but didn’t deserve his dismissal, but he was covered aptly by the experienced David Alaba alongside him. Courtois was hardly tested until the late spot kick, but he stepped up when it mattered most, refusing to give Bilbao a foothold back into the game as his long leg held firm to deny Garcia from 12 yards.
Asked if security for players’ families around games was something Manchester United would look into, interim boss Ralf Rangnick said: Yes, for sure.
The lads nominated Hemmo but he said he couldn’t do it because I’d start moaning. Too right. I don’t mind a bit of RnB but his stuff is way too much.
I was really pleased with the character we showed today. We have to build up from those performances.
They were better drilled, hungrier for the victory and despite the plethora of stars littered throughout Dortmund’s squad, certainly had the better players on the night.
