FOOTBALL WHISPERS
Everton secured a third consecutive Premier League win on Sunday at Goodison Park, with late goals from substitutes Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Cenk Tosun seeing off Crystal Palace. The visitors were left to bemoan their lack of clinical edge in front of goal once again, as they spurned several great chances, including a penalty kick taken by Luka Milivojevic, which was saved by Jordan Pickford.
Tottenham are riding the crest of a wave in the Premier League at the moment, having won their last four matches to move into fifth, level on points with Arsenal and Chelsea, and just two off pacesetters Manchester City and Liverpool.
As the weeks tick by and the January transfer window edges ever closer, clubs across Europe will be shaping their shortlists and sounding out players' representatives.
CAUGHT OFFSIDE
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has now addressed the most glaring issue within his Manchester United squad, but one more arrival could complete a summer overhaul. The Red Devils slumped to a hugely disappointing sixth-place Premier League finish last season, missing out on qualification for the Champions League as a result.
The 2019 transfer window has seen a number of huge deals completed, but which high-profile moves stand out above the rest? After a dramatic 2018-19 campaign which saw Liverpool win the Champions League and Manchester City secure a domestic treble, English football has reached a new, unprecedented peak.
Antoine Griezmann has confirmed he'll be leaving Atletico Madrid in this summer's transfer window, with top clubs all over Europe surely set to take a look at him in the coming months. The World Cup winner has been an integral part of Diego Simeone's side for the last five years, scoring 133 goals in 256 appearances since his 2014 switch from Real Sociedad.
Krzysztof Piatek - Genoa Piatek has burst onto the European football scene over the last four months in Serie A, scoring 11 goals in 15 matches to lead the race for the Golden Boot ahead of Juventus superstar Cristiano Ronaldo. The 23-year-old moved to Italy from Poland during the summer, having only ever experienced professional ...
Jose Mourinho's time at Old Trafford seems to be drawing to close and Tottenham's Mauricio Pochettino is one of the favourites to replace him.
Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea has stalled talks over a new contract with the club amid fears he might force his way out of Old Trafford. Jose Mourinho was quoted by Sky Sports this week as rather worryingly stating he was 'not confident' De Gea would sign a new contract at the club, which follows the Telegraph claiming he was reluctant to pen an extension to his current deal.
Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku might not last much longer at Old Trafford if his current form continues, but who could succeed him? The Red Devils are 10th in the Premier League after nine matches of the new season and are struggling to string a sequence of wins together, largely due to the fact that they are severely lacking a spark in the final third of the pitch.
Manchester United winger Alexis Sanchez has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford, but who could come in to take his place? The Chilean superstar's 10-month spell at Old Trafford has been underwhelming to say the least, with many supporters and experts running out of excuses to defend his poor performances at the start of the new season.
Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho's latest row with Paul Pogba is typical of a man prone to falling out with his players on a regular basis. The Portuguese boss has become renowned for his prickly, uncompromising and argumentative demeanour in recent times, alienating those around him and negatively affecting his ability to produce results on the pitch.
GOAL
Former Manchester United midfielder Darren Fletcher has questioned the conduct of Paul Pogba after he appeared to revel in Jose Mourinho's departure from Old Trafford. The 55-year-old coach was shown the exit door on Tuesday after two and a half years at the club, with the team sitting in sixth place in the Premier League.
Jamie Carragher has criticised Paris Saint Germain for their underhand tactics against Liverpool during their Champions League clash at the Parc des Princes. The Reds went down 2-1 on the night after Juan Bernat and Neymar strikes either side of a James Milner penalty, which leaves them facing an uphill task to qualify from Group C.
Alexis Sanchez has been ineffective at Manchester United because Jose Mourinho is playing him out of position, according to former United midfielder Paul Ince. The Red Devils dropped another two vital points at Old Trafford on Saturday after being held to a disappointing 0-0 draw by Crystal Palace.
Ex-Barcelona and Chelsea midfielder Deco fondly recalls his time alongside Ronaldinho at Camp Nou, insisting that the 2002 World Cup winner will always be the best in his eyes. The two men played together in Catalunya between 2004 and 2008, winning two La Liga titles and the Champions League under the tutelage of Frank Rijkaard.
Former Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has claimed he wants to wait until June before returning to management while addressing the possibility of taking over at Real Madrid. The 49-year-old has been out of work since leaving Stamford Bridge during the summer, after winning the Premier League and the FA Cup during his two-year stint in England.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic has confessed that he moved to Major League Soccer because he had nothing more to give Jose Mourinho at Manchester United.
FANSIDED - PLAYING FOR 90
The Red Devils already find themselves six points off the pace in the Premier League after a disastrous start to their 2018-19 campaign. Back to back defeats against Brighton and Tottenham have confirmed the club's worst opening to a new season in 26 years, with supporters and experts alike suggesting that Mourinho is now on borrowed time.
Rose has only started one game for Mauricio Pochettino's side this season, with Ben Davies occupying the left-back spot during the first two matches of the new campaign. The 28-year-old defender has been a key part of Tottenham's success over the last few years under the Argentine coach, but it appears that he now has a fight on his hands to re-emerge as a regular fixture in the team.
Balotelli has plied his trade in Ligue 1 for two years now and has been a big success, scoring 42 goals in 64 appearances for Nice. The 28-year-old has enjoyed something of a career revival during his time in France, after ill-fated spells with Liverpool in England and Italian giant's AC Milan.
The Red's signed Sturridge back in 2013 from Chelsea, where he had spent 4 years of his career languishing on the fringes of the first team as well as playing for Bolton Wanderers on loan. At Stamford Bridge, the promise of his potential one day being fulfilled was not enough for the club to remain patient, amid inconsistent performances and an egotistical approach to training.
Jan Oblak has spent the last 4 years of his career in the Spanish Capital and has made over 110 appearances for Diego Simeone's side. He was brought in from Benfica to replace the outgoing Thibaut Courtois at the time and his record at the club since then suggests that Atletico actually managed to make an upgrade on the Belgian.
Maurizio Sarri's Blues lost the community shield on Sunday after falling victim to yet another masterclass from Per Guardiola's City side, which sent out an ominous message to the rest of the league ahead of the new season.
The Rossoneri could end up paying up to €32 million to sign the striker permanently in a couple of years as he initially moves on loan - as reported by BBC Sport - which is a small price to pay for such a prolific centre-forward.
United finished 2nd in the Premier League last season but fell 19 points short of Champions and local rivals Manchester City, ultimately ending the year trophyless. Mourinho's men failed to defend the League Cup they'd won the year before and lost 1-0 to Chelsea in the Fa Cup Final.
When the competition in Russia kicked off at the start of June, very few England supporters could have predicted they would reach the final week with a chance to compete in the World Cup Final standing before them. Gareth Southgate and his men created a wave of optimism which grew with each passing game and engulfed an entire nation.
TESTOSTERONE RESOURCE
The Olympia is the most prestigious bodybuilding competition on the planet and pits the most finely tuned athletes against each other over a whole weekend of drama and slick, polished entertainment, unlike anything you have ever seen.
One of the hottest topics of debate in the fitness industry in recent years has been superfoods; supposedly the most nutritional, mineral-laden and effective natural foods known to man. In a society that favours pre-packaged, ready-made meals which can be prepared in minutes, it is little wonder that obesity has become something of an epidemic worldwide.
Often the most stressful days in the gym are not the heavy compound days when you are getting in your weekly squats, deadlifts and bench presses in a bid to maximize your overall strength and muscle mass.
Do you struggle to attend the gym enough during your weekly schedule to justify the monthly fees? Are you unable to travel to the gym enough due to work commitments? Do you spend too much on travel costs a week for trips to your local gym?
Most of the time you spend in the gym when bodybuilding - leg day aside - you will be working your deltoids as a secondary muscle group because they almost always come into play to assist any upper body movements.
The microwave is the ultimate invention for a quick meal, a wonderfully simple contraption which cooks your food within minutes, eliminating the boredom and insatiable hunger of waiting for an oven-cooked meal. However, for many, this convenient method of meal preparation is too good to be true and is largely associated with being unhealthy and lazy.

RONALDO.COM
The 33-year-old leaves the Bernabeu as the highest scorer in the clubs history, with a staggering 450 goals in 438 games. He was instrumental in Real's 3rd consecutive Champions league winning campaign last year, but Ronaldo revealed after the final that he was considering moving on.
Neymar is currently tied to a deal with French champions Paris Saint Germain until 2022 but has been linked with Madrid as a replacement for the outgoing Cristiano Ronaldo. The Spanish giants did release a statement last week distancing themselves from a move for the Brazilian star, but Hunter states that the club is still intent on securing his signature.
The 40-year-old Buffon left Juventus this summer after a trophy-laden 17-year spell with the club, during which he made an incredible 656 appearances. Having ended on a high winning a 7th Serie A title in a row and his 9th overall for the Old Lady, the legendary shot-stopper elected to accept a new challenge abroad rather than remain at the club in a background staff role.
Neymar scored the opener against Mexico on Monday afternoon before assisting Roberto Firmino for the second goal in a comfortable 2-0 victory for Brazil. The Paris Saint Germain striker received the man of the match award for his performance as the Seleção strolled into the next round, despite once again never really getting out of second gear.
Gnabry initially signed for the German giant's last summer but was immediately sent out on loan to fellow Bundesliga side Hoffenheim, ensuring that he was never revealed to fans officially. That all changed today, however, as the 22-year-old made his first proper public appearance at the Allianz as a Bayern Munich player.
AS are reporting that Madrid has already made contact with Quintero over a possible move to the Bernabeu this summer. The 25-year-old Porto starlet spent last season on loan at River Plate in South America and only managed one goal during their campaign, but he has been one of the standout players so far at the World Cup.
SPORTS GRAPE
Van Nistelrooy played for PSV in the early stages of his career, scoring a remarkable 62 goals in 67 appearances for the club. Having spent the last few years as part of their coaching staff, he has now secured his first head coaching role in football with the Dutch side.
Liverpool confirmed they would be signing Keita 11 months ago, but have had to wait until now to utilise his services. The bizarre deal struck with German side RB Leipzig stipulated that he stay in the Bundesliga one more year before completing his move.
England’s comprehensive 6-1 win over Panama yesterday saw them safely through to the last 16 in Russia – who could they end up facing in the next round?
During an in-depth interview with the Players Tribune, Sterling addressed the undue attention he feels he has received over the past year or so, namely over his proclivity for extravagant spending. The 23-year-old said: "There's a perception in certain parts of the media that I love 'bling.' I love diamonds.
Portugal's poster boy and record goalscorer Ronaldo has rightly taken the plaudits for his team in the World Cup so far, as he leads the race for the Golden Boot with 4 goals from 2 matches.
After an underwhelming and ultimately trophy-less season with the Red Devils, the Premier Leagues return in August could mark the beginning of the end for the Portuguese tactician's spell in Manchester.

FILM & MUSIC
By James Westwood (United Kingdom) Failing to strike the perfect balance between originality and nostalgia in the same way its predecessor managed; Fallen Kingdom is an overblown rehash that brings nothing new to this ailing franchise.
By James Westwood (United Kingdom) Classic Film Review Widely considered to be the film that revived Matthew McConaughey's career - The Lincoln Lawyer evoked fond memories of his universally lauded performance in the 1996 courtroom drama A Time to Kill and silenced critics that had mocked and challenged his career choices in between.
