GARY NEVILLE slammed Manchester United's owners, manager and players as "tone deaf" for going on a "global tour" following the Champions League exit. The Red Devils crashed out of Europe with a home defeat to Atletico Madrid on Tuesday.

This last week we’ve seen a global tour of F1, concerts, cricket and UFC events.

Red Grange was football’s first true superstar. He was one of the first athletes to sign endorsements. His games attracted record crowds and he also starred in several movies. American football has several names around the world. In Europe it’s called soccer, and in the U.K. it’s called rugby. The huddle was invented by Paul Hubbard. A legally deaf quarterback from Gallaudet University, he “huddled” other players together so he could hear them better and to protect them from the other teams’ prying eyes.[ The Miami Dolphins are the only NFL team in history to complete an undefeated playing season, in 1972.

ONE-NIL to the Arsenal and another step towards a return to the Champions League. Bukayo Saka’s first half strike was enough to seal the victory that gives Mikel Arteta’s side real breathing space in the race for a top four place. But, for much of the match, this was a one-goal thrashing. Arsenal had a vice-like grip on Aston Villa and gave them virtually nothing all afternoon until Steven Gerrard’s side threw everything at the Gunners' goal in the latter stages.

WHEN it comes to football, rival fans never really need an excuse to root for an underdog against one of the big boys. But Chelsea will travel to Teesside today with just about everyone outside SW6 wanting to see them become the latest Goliath to be felled by Middlesbrough’s David. The ostracising of Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich, banned from being a director because of his links with Vladimir Putin’s war machine, would have been enough in itself to make Boro the nation’s preferred choice. Yet the events of the past few days, with Chelsea asking the FA to prevent home fans from coming to the game, has accentuated that attitude - making it even more likely that the Stamford Bridge outfit will encounter genuine hostility. Not that Boro need any more of a carrot than a possible FA Cup semi-final place.

A PROTESTER'S bizarre demo brought a Prem game to a standstill last night when he tied his NECK to the goalpost with CABLE TIES and needed a pair of bolt cutters to be set free. The daft stunt at Goodison Park took an even more bizarre turn when another fan from the crowd then ran on the pitch and tried to attack the man for disrupting the match. The long-haired attention-seeker, wearing a red T-shirt ran on to the pitch early in the second half of Everton's Premier League clash with Newcastle. And referee Craig Pawson halted play as an army of stewards, police and safety officers came on to get the man off the pitch.

Christian Pulisic scored the goal which saw off the fightback from the French champions and handed Chelsea a relatively quiet night on the pitch at least. And as the bidding war to buy the club hots up across the Pond there could be no better advert than seeing a homespun hero steal the show. Whether by coincidence or not, Pulisic was back in the starting line-up after two games out on the day a fourth interested party from the US signalled intent to buy the club.

THERE is a growing belief at Villa Park that the jewel of their academy could be stolen from under their noses. Carney Chukwuemeka, 18, was the talisman for Aston Villa's U18 side in 2021 - starring in their FA Youth Cup campaign as they lifted the trophy by defeating Liverpool in the final. However, with chances in the first team hard to come by, the Austrian-born midfielder is contemplating his future. So far, Chukwuemeka has refused to sign a new deal to commit beyond 2023. Arsenal and now Borussia Dortmund are watching developments closely as they contemplate swooping for the coveted talent.

JURGEN KLOPP kept his promise to be a permanent irritation as unstoppable Liverpool moved to within one point of League leaders Manchester City. The quirky German has vowed to annoy his team’s biggest rivals all the way to the finishing line in what is shaping up to be the mother of all title races. And though Arsenal did their level best to stop the Mersey march they still didn’t have enough to deny Liverpool a ninth straight League victory.

American Football grew out of English sports such as rugby and soccer and became popular on American college campuses in the late 1800s.[13] In 1876, a coach named Walter Camp, who is considered the “Father of American Football,” helped produce the first rules of American football. Among important changes were the introduction of line scrimmages and down-and-distance rules. The American Professional Football Association was formed in 1920; two years later it changed its name to the National Football League (NFL), which would ultimately become the major league of American football.
