Preston player Osmajic banned for eight matches following biting incident

Preston North End striker Milutin Osmajic has been banned for eight matches by the Football Association. Osmajic got in trouble for biting Blackburn Rovers Owen Beck, who is on loan from Liverpool.  The 25-year-old striker, who accepted the charge of violent conduct, was also fined £15,000. The incident was after Beck sent off the Championship match between the two clubs.  Speaking after that game Blackburn manager John Eustace told BBC Radio Lancashire: “Owen’s got a big bite mark on the back of his neck and it’s a shame the referee didn’t see that.” “We’ve already indicated to the player what we’re doing,” said Preston director Peter Ridsdale. “I want to keep that obviously in-house but you can be assured that that’s not something that we condone as a football club and we’ve taken appropriate action.”

arsenal refuse palmeiras offer to sign gabriel jesus

Arsenal refuse Palmeiras’ offer to sign Gabriel Jesus

Brazilian team Palmeiras reportedly reached out to Arsenal in an ambitious move made to re-sign Gabriel Jesus, with the Gunners refusing them.  According to Globo Esporte, Palmeiras are keen on re-signing Jesus next year. However, his current club have refused their offer, with Mikel Arteta seeing him as a vital part of his squad.  Jesus has been lukewarm since joining Arsenal from Manchester City in a €52 million deal in July 2022. The attacker from South America, who signed a contract with €10 million-a-year wages, was one of the players that signified that Arterta was ready to turn the Gunners into worthy challengers for the Premier League title.  Although Jesus initially impressed with his hold-up play and ability to bring Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli into the match, he has not been productive in terms of scoring. He only mustered 19 goals and 15 assists in 76 appearances so far for Arsenal in the last two years.  Now, there is widespread speculation that the Gunners might sell Jesus and search the football market for a better striker. However, they have refused to give him up in the summer transfer window. Despite this, Palmeiras still wants to get him back to their side.

setford recounts his move from ajax to arsenal

Setford recounts his move from Ajax to Arsenal

Tommy Setford became the first player Arsenal signed in the summer on July 21, 2024. Despite how young he is, Setford joined the Gunners already having an exceptional reputation, having played for Ajax’s youth teams and represented England at several junior levels. However, Setford’s move to Arsenal signalled a new chapter in his life, as it was the first time he had ever lived in England. Reminiscing about growing up in the Netherlands, Setford said; “I grew up in a neighbourhood called Bennebroek, about 15 minutes from Haarlem and half an hour from Amsterdam. I first got into football because of my older brother, Charlie. He was really into it and, like most younger siblings, I just copied what he was doing. That’s how my football journey began.” Charlie’s admiration for Dutch goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg inspired Tommy to become a keeper too.   “Naturally, since my brother wanted to be like Stekelenburg, I wanted to follow in his footsteps too,” Setford explained. Despite playing briefly on the outfield, Setford always knew that goalkeeping was his true calling.  “When I started playing when I was about five or six, I tried playing outfield, but I always ended up in goal because we’d do penalties at the end of every session, and I was good at saving them.” Setford started his career at local club SV BSM, but Ajax recognized how talented he is; “My brother and I went to a talent showcase day, and Ajax scouted both of us,” Setford recalled. “They wanted Charlie, and while they showed interest in me as well, I was too young. When I turned seven, I was old enough, and I joined Ajax – the biggest club in Holland, which was incredible.” After over a decade at Ajax, Setford’s move to Arsenal was fast; “It came about around three to four months ago. I was told Arsenal were interested and, soon after, one of the scouts flew to Amsterdam to meet me. We talked for about two hours about the club and their plans for me.” He made his decision after visiting Arsenal’s training ground and meeting the academy’s goalkeeping coaches. “From that moment, I had a really good feeling. I knew in my heart that Arsenal was the right move for me. I wanted to take the next step in my career, and I believed Arsenal would be the perfect place for me to develop further.”

former juventus defender Iuliano: giuntoli best in his field

Former Juventus defender Iuliano: ‘Giuntoli best in his field; new defender must be signed’

EX-Juventus defender Mark Iuliano has praised sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli. He was impressed by Giuntoli’s call to make Thiago Motta coach. He told TMW: “I didn’t discover him, he’s the best in his field and you can’t tell just from the transfer market at Juve, he knows all the players in all categories. If he decides to take someone straight away he will do it, but Motta also likes to fish from the Next Gen, he wouldn’t have any trouble getting them to play. “It’s what all Juventus wanted. When Giuntoli chose him, I had no doubt that he would do well, he is also valorising the young players, it’s an important thing. Things won’t always go well, having a competitive squad and everyone has good minutes is important. “He has shown that he has clear ideas, he is helped a lot by the club, Giuntoli is a football expert, he will give him some advice, even if perhaps Motta doesn’t need it too much.” While speaking on Gleison Bremer’s ACL injury, Iuliano added: “It will be very heavy for Juventus because, in addition to being a point of reference, he is among the best in the world in his role. He was truly on a top-level sporting trajectory and not just this year. They will have to do something, the good fortune is having found (Pierre) Kalulu who is doing very well.  “If there are opportunities on the market, the club will not let this chance slip away. A central defender is needed, there are too many commitments.”

Emi Martinez: Villa played a ‘beautiful match’ for win over Bayern

Aston Villa goalkeeper Emi Martinez was excited about his clean sheet in a win over Bayern Munich. Villa beat Bayern 1-0 at Villa Park, with Martinez delivering a series of super saves on the night.  Emi later said: “It was a beautiful match, we had to win. Let’s keep dreaming. People keep reminding me of that save on Kolo Muani. It’s a save that will mark me for life, but I want to continue to improve as a goalkeeper and as a person. And I’m proving it. “I am driven by the desire to continue to grow, to be the best with Aston Villa. I intended to play in the Champions League and I succeeded. With a national team like this I have no limits. I want to continue to grow. “We played against one of the favourites like Bayern and we showed that we can compete, especially at home. This should give us further confidence, but not take us to a place that doesn’t belong to us yet.”

tottenham hotspur disgrace manchester united

Tottenham Hotspur disgrace Manchester United at Old Trafford as Fernandes sees red

Tottenham thrashed Manchester United at Old Trafford 3-0 on Sunday to mount pressure on their manager Erik ten Hag. United were outplayed and outpaced in their worst performance of the year as Spurs tore them to pieces.  Hotspur took the lead on three minutes as Micky van de Ven stripped United’s defence before crossing for Brennan Johnson to drive home at the far post.  For the next 25 minutes, Spurs dominated with just Andre Onana in United’s goal standing between them and a cricket score.  Around 42 minutes, things turned sore for United when captain Bruno Fernandes was sent off for a late challenge on James Maddison. He slipped before catching Maddison and was given a red card by referee Chris Kavanaugh.  The Red Devils were hoping to regroup after halftime, but fell further behind early in the second-half as Dejan Kulusevski converted a deflected cross from Johnson after a long run.  By this time, it became clear Tottenham would be taking home the points and the result was sealed with a third goal, as Dominic Solanke sent home a kick from Pape Sarr from a corner on 77 minutes.  The result sees Spurs advance to eighth position on the table, with United now in 12th place.

Madrid derby suspended as Atletico Madrid fans throw objects onto pitch

The match between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid was paused because of chaos erupting in the standings, as supporters threw multiple items onto the pitch. The referee suspended the Madrid derby midway through the second half after Atletico fans started throwing items onto the pitch. Real was leading through Eder Militao in the 64th minute, and items were thrown from behind Thibaut Courtois’ goal, before Atletico players, including Koke, and manager Diego Simeone appealed for peace.  Real’s players were apparently happy to keep playing, but the referee, in accordance with La Liga’s protocols, decided to take the players off. Blancos goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois was spotted clearing objects from his area, including a lighter that he gave to officials.  Both Simeone and Koke tried calming fans on both sides down, heading behind Courtois’ goal post to speak to them directly. After a break in play for 20 minutes, the game was finally continued.
