Guardiola won an impressive 14 titles during his four-year spell in charge of Barcelona, before adding seven more pieces of silverware to his trophy cabinet at Bayern. He will end his first season at City trophyless, though, and he is grateful the Premier League side are sticking by him regardless of their somewhat underwhelming results in 2016-17. “I said many times I have this expectation because of what I have done in the past....

City got lucky when Blades forward Lys Mousset had a first-half strike harshly disallowed for offside by the video review system, which then allowed Sergio Aguero’s opener to stand despite referee Chris Kavanagh inadvertently blocking off John Fleck in the build-up. There was no doubt over City’s second goal, with Kevin De Bruyne tucking home to secure an unconvincing win - Guardiola’s 100th in the Premier League. Video assistant referee controversy has ruled in the Premier League this weekend, with Norwich City’s Teemu Pukki having a goal harshly ruled out, while at Anfield, Wolves had a strike disallowed for a marginal offside....

The former Bayern Munich and Barcelona boss pinned the blame squarely on Baggies manager Tony Pulis after the pair shared some customary red wine after the game. James could be Man Utd’s Hazard Arriving roughly an hour after full time, Guardiola apologised to the assembled reporters before quipping: “Tony Pulis is Tony Pulis and red wine is red wine.” The duo would have had plenty to talk about with the game yielding four goals as City triumphed 3-1 at the Etihad....

City needed just a point at Stadio San Paolo to secure their progression from the group stage on Wednesday, but Guardiola’s men came from behind to win 4-2 as Sergio Aguero became the club’s all-time record goalscorer. Man City -1 19/20 v Arsenal While Napoli – who also loss the reverse fixture 3-2 in Manchester – are now in danger of crashing out of the competition, manager Guardiola again spoke of his admiration for the Serie A leaders and lauded another big win....

City have won the title in the past two seasons under Guardiola yet now trail Liverpool, who have a game in hand, by 16 points. The Reds have dropped just two points in the top flight, but City manager Guardiola would prefer to focus on how the defending champions can raise their game. “In terms of what we are as a team, we are open, we accept,” he told a news conference before facing Sheffield United on Tuesday....

United finished 19 points behind Manchester City last season as Guardiola’s cavalier tactics tore through the Premier League. The former Barcelona boss and his ex-Real Madrid rival have both won two major trophies in their current posts, but the pressure is on Mourinho following a poor start to the new campaign. Cantona, while convinced United will “always be great”, is unimpressed with their present playing style, comparing it unfavourably with the freedom afforded across town....

Meanwhile, it was another tough weekend for Premier League fans across North London, with Arsenal and Tottenham both dropping points as the dark clouds continue to gather around both clubs. Arsenal’s defeat at high-flying Leicester City left the Gunners winless in their last four top-flight outings, while Spurs are without a victory in five attempts after their 1-1 draw at home with Sheffield United. With Arsenal failing to win, Manchester United had the opportunity to narrow the gap between sixth and seventh to just one point and they did just that, bringing Brighton and Hove Albion’s two-game winning streak to an end in a 3-1 victory....

Ronaldo slammed Iceland’s ‘small mentality’ after the match in France but they went on to reach the quarter finals, famously defeating Roy Hodgson’s England in the knockout stages. Their population of 334,252 makes Iceland the smallest country ever to qualify for a World Cup, but they have been springing surprises for almost half a decade. Even coming up against the iconic Messi, perhaps facing his last chance to taste international glory on the grandest stage of them all, does not faze PSV’s Albert Gudmundsson, the youngest player in Iceland’s squad, and he believes that he and his team-mates have the ability to successfully nullify the Barcelona star, having taken a keen interest in the Catalan side....

After winning their opening match, Guidolin’s side, who are fourth from bottom in the standings, have come under pressure after suffering four league defeats in their last five games. When asked if he could be sacked if Swansea lose at home to Liverpool, who have won three successive league games and are fourth in the table, Guidolin said: “Maybe. Could be.

Heinrich cited a 2003 Washington Post article by Richard Morin to back up his claims, using the story to question Lott’s general judgement in matters of gun violence. “Does it show good judgement for a researcher to comment that way with regard to your own research under a name that is clearly not transparent?” Heinrich asked the committee. Lott claims in the cited article that he had tried to use his own name when commenting online, “but you just get into really emotional things with people....

Fresh and raring to go, the 28-year-old will be looking to capitalise on every opportunity he is presented with at HIL 2017.
