Avid Football Manager fan Antoine Griezmann has revealed his latest virtual all-star Arsenal side but there is no room for France team-mate Alexandre Lacazette.

Griezmann has often posted updates on social media channels to show off his achievements in the popular game.

The Barcelona forward got Arsenal supporters excited in April when he uploaded a screenshot of his latest save as Gunners manager, with Lacazette spearheading his attack.

But Lacazette was nowhere to be seen in the 2023 squad, with the 28-year-old learning from Griezmann that he had been unceremoniously sold to Huddersfield Town for £23.5million.

Lacazette did at least enjoy huge success before his move northwards, having he…

Stoke midfielder Jonathan Walters endured a nightmare afternoon as he scored two own goals in his teams 4-0 defeat against Chelsea

Yesterday’s Premier League produced the usual thrills and spills.

The standout result came at the Britannia Stadium, where Stoke’s unbeaten home run this season came to an end as Chelsea defeated the Potters 4-0.

The game was an absolute nightmare for Potters star Jonathan Walters. The visitors took the lead on the stroke of half-time.

Cesar Azpilicueta’s cross was headed into his own net by the Republic of Ireland international.

Chelsea doubled their lead in the 62nd minute. Incredibly Walters flicked past keeper Asmir Begovic for his second own goal of the game from Juan Mata’s corner kick. Three minutes lat…

England Under-21s are in Saturday’s Euro 2023 final against Spain as they look to win the tournament for the first time in 39 years.

The Young Lions beat Israel in Wednesday’s semi-final to reach their first final since 2009.

Here the PA news agency looks at some of the focal points ahead of the final.

History makers

It has been 39 years since the Under-21s last won the European Championship.

Then, it was back-to-back victories in 1982 and 1984 but the drought has not ended since. A 4-0 final thumping by Germany in 2009 is the closest they have got.

Lee Carsley’s side can make history in Batumi on Saturday.

Unbeatable England

WE ARE THROUGH TO THE FINAL!

Well done, !

Manchester United s Odion Ighalo will use the pain of missing out on the 2016 FA Cup final as fuel for Sunday s semi-final clash with Chelsea.

The striker suffered last-four heartbreak four years ago when playing for Watford, who were beaten 2-1 by Crystal Palace to miss out on a showpiece showdown with his current club United.

Ighalo, on loan at Old Trafford from Shanghai Shenhua, described it as a bitter experience and he is desperate to avoid a repeat at Wembley this weekend.

It was a difficult one to take against Crystal Palace, we lost 2-1 at Wembley, the 31-year-old told MUTV. If we d have won, we d have played United in the final.

Unfortunately, we lost. It was a bitter one to take but this is an opportunity again in an FA Cup semi-final to make …

Last week we saw the first of two NFL games hosted in London, England, this season. We’re back at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium again with the Miami Dolphins facing the ‘home’ Jacksonville Jaguars.

Urban Meyer, firmly on the hot seat amid controversy and a winless start, will be hoping that his Jags don’t lose and he gets left in London.

If you’re betting this game on Sunday, October 17th, then make sure you read our free NFL betting picks and predictions for the Dolphins vs. Jaguars first.

Tonight sees a matchup between two squads who have both moved on from Super Bowl-winning quarterbacks this offseason. 

The shadows of Russell Wilson and Ben Roethlisberger will hang over both the Seahawks and Steelers for some time, but this game gives us a chance to see the QB of the future for both teams.

For this game, you need to read our NFL picks and predictions for the Seattle Seahawks vs. Pittsburgh Steelers, with kickoff on August 13.

The NFL Draft is becoming a bigger and bigger sports betting event with each passing year, with more draft markets to wager on than ever before. 

Who will be selected first overall has always been a popular prop… But now we can bet on who will be selected second overall, third, and so on, which we can use to get a good feel for how the early part of the draft will play out.

So, what exactly would a mock draft — based solely on the 2023 NFL Draft odds — look like?

Well, you don’t have to wonder about that anymore. I mock the Top 10 of this year’s draft, listing the favorites to go at each position.

Two teams headed in opposite directions clash in Glendale on Sunday as the Arizona Cardinals host the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens have won three of their last four and are coming off a rout against the Detroit Lions, while the Cards are on a four-game skid with each loss coming by double-digits.

Oddsmakers expect those trends to continue with NFL odds opening the Ravens as 8.5-point road favorites for this Week 8 odds showdown. Here are my best free NFL picks for Ravens vs. Cardinals on October 29.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are hosting the Philadelphia Eagles tonight at Raymond James Stadium to close out a wild weekend of Wild Card football. 

The Eagles stumbled their way into the playoffs with a 1-5 finish after a 10-1 start to the season. Things are only getting worse for the Birds as they have several players grounded with injuries, including top wide receiver A.J. Brown and cornerback Darius Slay.

While Philadelphia floundered into the playoffs, Tampa Bay has been thriving. The Bucs finished the season on a 5-1 stretch to win the NFC South and earn the right to host a playoff game. However, the NFL odds have the Buccaneers as 3-point underdogs to the Eagles. The total for the game is set at around 43.

The Eagles took care of business …

To the surprise of many, the Cincinnati Bengals are 0-2 to start the NFL season. Count Joe Burrow among the stunned.

The Bengals’ star quarterback is determined to get Cincinnati on the right track and my Commanders vs. Bengals predictions have him racking up the touchdown passes on Monday Night Football. 

I size up the spread and total for this non-conference primetime clash and give my best NFL picks for September 23.

A big spread and a taller total call for plenty of points from the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday night. That means a healthy dose of Joe Burrow.
