Aston Villa have been linked with Fulham midfielder Andre-Frank Anguissa ahead of the summer transfer window. The defensive powerhouse is set to leave Craven Cottage at the end of the campaign after their relegation to the Championship, and there would not be shortage of suitors for his signature.

Review: Chelsea’s amazing title defence against Man City and co in WSL
Chelsea Women have defended the FA Women’s Super League title in a keenly-contested race with Manchester City, who finished runners-up for the fourth season running. After being crowned champions in 2019/20 under controversial circumstances, the Blues had a point to prove this time around. Title Run-In The Super League title run-in was always a two-horse race between the two best sides, Chelsea and Man City. Eventually, the London side’s 3-1 home victory in the direct encounter back in October 2020 made all the difference. Emma Hayes’ ladies wrapped up the league crown thanks to a slender two-point lead on second-placed City, having outclassed Reading 5-0 on the final matchday of the season. Both sides had suffered a single loss apiece, with Gareth Taylor’s team missing out on the title de...
Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona stars could beat Lewandowski for 2021 Ballon D’Or
The Ballon d’Or is arguably the most prestigious individual award in modern football, celebrating the beautiful game’s best player from the previous year. Now it is worth noting that the Ballon d’Or is not the be-all-and-end-all of football. It’s often biased towards those who shine in the Champions League. Media hype, big moments, and trophies won usually take precedence in the voting over individual performances. In fact, all Ballon dOr winners since 2007 has either won the Champions League or been the competition’s top goalscorer, and all since 2007 have reached at least the semi-finals stage. With no obvious standout, however, this summer’s international tournaments could be decisive. Lionel Messi and co. will compete in the Copa America, while Europe’s finest battle it out at the Euro...
‘No one to blame but ourselves’: Some Liverpool fans react to Man United’s performance vs Leicester City
A selection of Liverpool fans sent their reaction as Manchester United suffered a 2-1 Premier League defeat to Leicester City on Tuesday night.

A$AP Ferg Hit The Aspen Slopes With Snowboarding Flex [VIDEO]
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: DEAN BLOTTO GRAY / Courtesy of Burton There are some out there who still front on snowboarding like it’s not a sport to take seriously, or that Black people won’t get into it. That viewpoint ignores the fact that snowboarding and Hip-hop have been a winning combination before, with Naughty By Nature’s “Feel Me Flow” video from 1995 as a major example as MTV showcased the sport before ESPN picked up the baton with their X-Games. Hip-Hop’s impact on the sport can be seen in figures such as Shaun White, who holds the most Olympic gold medals for the sport and Chloe Kim, the youngest woman to ever win an Olympic gold medal. More importantly, there have been notable Black figures holding it down as snowboarders from back then such as Russel Winfield, Keir Dill...

How one point from five key games killed Fulham’s hopes of survival
Following a 2-0 defeat at home to Burnley, Fulham’s relegation from the Premier League was confirmed. The euphoria of August’s play-off final victory over local rivals Brentford seems like a distant memory, having sat in the relegation zone for all but four weeks of the season. Their failure to convert draws into wins has cost them dearly. They have the joint-fewest victories in the league this season with five, while only Brighton & Hove Albion can outdo their 12 draws. Here are five crucial games in Fulham’s season. Fulham 0-3 Aston Villa Grealish strikes early to give Fulham the lead It was a worrying start for Scott Parker’s side, who had lost their opening two games against Arsenal and Leeds United, conceding seven goals in the process.

Everton reportedly want England international midfielder on Man Utd’s radar
According to Sportsmail, Everton have shown an interest in signing Arsenal’s Ainsley Maitland-Niles this summer, but they view him as a right-back. The Toffees want to bring in another player in the position with Seamus Coleman already in the twilight of his career.

Arsenal are looking to cash in on Maitland-Niles and are said to be open to selling him for £20 million. Everton are not the only team keen on the West Bromwich Albion loane...
