There is never a good time to play the modern iteration of Newcastle United at St James' Park.

Former Manchester United captain Gary Neville has said the current squad are in a "desperate situation" and "low on quality" after they were defeated 4-1 by Newcastle United on Sunday. Sandro Tonali gave Newcastle the lead in the first half before Alejandro Garnacho equalised in the 37th minute.

On Sunday, Old Trafford hosts one of the more unusual derby games of recent times. With Manchester United in 13th and Manchester City in fifth, the last meeting of the two with a worse combined league position was way back in...

I can just about understand the rise of Peaky Blinders themed bars. It's a good way for places in continental Europe to tell tourists the place will show sports etc. But still... The vibe. Is odd. https://t.co/0wwzZfSqvL
This is good. They should hand out some gongs retrospectively, too.
