Terry to pay price for night away from wife

THIS weekend it was revealed that a footballer had an extramarital affair with a lingerie model.

Sven rolls a seven in football’s eternal quest for a challenge

City and United play mean

THE war of words between local rivals Manchester United and Manchester City has intensified.

City kicked things off by parading new signing Carlos Tévez around Manchester in a petty yet amusing billboard campaign.

Tévez gets Fergie where it really hurts

CARLOS TÉVEZ was unveiled at Manchester City yesterday and wasted no time in getting one up on his old boss Sir Alex Ferguson.

Owen swaps Magpies for medals

THIS week Manchester United made two new signings – Antonio Valencia from Wigan and Michael Owen.

One of those signings, Valencia, is not surprising, but the purchase of 29-year-old Owen certainly is.
