Pep Guardiola also spared some kind words for John Stones after Manchester City’s 1-0 victory over Stamford Bridge. Pep Guardiola has praised the impact of Rico Lewis following Manchester City’s Premier League win over Chelsea on Thursday. The champions were far off their best in the opening 45 minutes as an under-strength Chelsea side dominated for long spells. City lacked rhythm and intensity in the first half but a double change at the break helped resurrect a dismal display. Experienced full-backs Kyle Walker and Joao Cancelo were replaced by Lewis and Manuel Akanji, while Jack Grealish and Riyad Mahrez were introduced soon after and…

The news that Dwayne Johnson’s passion project has been scrapped comes as yet another disappointment. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson had a very different plan for how things would pan out. The superstar was fired from DC Studios at the end of 2022, which led to the cancellation of his booming Black Adam franchise. Under the tenure of DC Studios’ new bosses James Gunn and Peter Safran, Johnson was told upcoming Black Adam movies would not be moving ahead, at least not in the next wave of DC titles. In the IP-driven movies world, never say never again, but for the foreseeable…

The young Bundesliga star is yet to pen a new deal with Dortmund with his current contract expiring this June.

The most recent of their victories, against Bournemouth on Tuesday, was enough for Erik ten Hag’s team to cement their place in the top four and close the gap on teams above them. However, injuries for Antony and Donny van de Beek could prompt some transfer investment in January. After seeing Martin Dubravka return to…

As punishment for his behaviour, Ronaldo was hit with a £50,000 fine and suspended for two games by the England Football Association on November 17th, but the superstar never served the ban as the World Cup began before he eventually…
Manchester United are in talks with Crystal Palace over a move for goalkeeper Jack Butland, according to Mike McGrath and Fabrizio Romano. THE LOWDOWN: DUBRAVKA RECALLED Martin Dubravka made the move to Old Trafford over the summer on loan from Newcastle United, but the 33-year-old made just two EFL Cup appearances under Erik ten Hag. He made the bench in the Premier League on eight occasions but failed to feature and has recently been recalled by the Magpies. That has left United with just David de Gea and Tom Heaton as senior goalkeeping options, but it seems as if the club are looking to bring in another this month. THE LATEST: BUTLAND TALKS…
Here are five forecasts for potential archaeological discoveries in 2023.

Additionally, we might uncover more information about an underground city that inhabited Turkey some 2,000 years ago. Here are our five predictions for 2023 in terms of archaeology.
