Morgan Schneiderlin has confessed that he could well be playing for Tottenham or Arsenal now if Southampton hadn’t blocked his wishes for a move.

The France international was expected to be one of the Saints’ high profile evacuees over the summer, with the north London duo having pushed hard to lure him away from the South Coast in what was a busy summer for the Saints.

Adam Lallana, Dejan Lovren, Rickie Lambert, Luke Shaw and Calum Chambers all left St Mary’s Stadium, which led to talk that Schneiderlin would follow them deep into the transfer window.

But Southampton held firm to keep their midfield ace by slapping a £27m valuation on him, and despite reported bids from Spurs the 24-year-old is still plying his trade in Hampshire.

Schneiderlin admits that he was disappointed to not have been granted his wish for a move, but that he is fully committed to repaying the faith the club have shown in him since bringing him to England from Strasbourg as a youngster:

“My situation was simple: at the end of the season my goal was to take the next step and join a club playing in the Champions League or the Europa League.” He is quoted by Goal.

“There were offers on the table but Southampton made a clear choice, which was to keep me after the departure of certain players. They look to me for the future.

“I was ‘blocked’ but I must accept that because I have three years remaining on my contract. I could not afford to make a fuss and not play. I owe a lot to Southampton, who enabled me to make the France national team.

“I could not afford to go and clash with supporters who have always been cool with me. It would not have cool for me to end up in an endless showdown.”

Leeds fans are all saying the same thing after Luke Ayling tweeted about their brutal opening fixtures, begging the defender to bring Kyle Bartley to the club.

Bartley was a hugely popular figure during his loan spell at Elland Road, and the Swansea defender has been heavily linked with a permanent move.

The Leeds defence is a completely different prospect with both Ayling and Bartley, as the Swansea man’s departure coincided with an injury to Ayling.

New manager Marcelo Bielsa usually opts for three at the back, so having both players back there with Pontus Jansson could be a formidable force.

Of course, this all implies Bartley actually joins, and fans are begging Ayling to make it happen.

The 26 year-old fan favourite tweeted his excitement about the club’s brutal opening fixtures, as Bielsa will open his Championship account with games against Stoke and Derby County.

“Juicy start to the season,” said the defender, and fans are hoping Bartley is right there alongside him for it.

It’s kind to no-one. It can ruin careers. It can make you a laughing stock. Welcome to the cut throat world of the Premier League.

The toughest competition in the world. When men from foreign lands seek to try their luck in the English game, an immediate impact must be made in order to survive.For these unfortunate 15, the Premier League chewed up their careers and were spat back out into a world that they were no longer wanted in, thanks to their inability to adapt to the fast pace and physicality of football in England.

It must be hard to establish yourself in the league, especially given the demands of English fans, the brutality of the English press and the impatience of owners whose hard earned money was spent on you.

These are the exceptions. No excuses should be made for how awful these 15 players were. Some lasted a couple of years, some last 53 minutes. Regardless, most are players who came with expectancy on their shoulder and wholly failed to deliver.

West Ham manager Sam Allardyce has praised midfielder Kevin Nolan for his turnaround in form of late, as reported by London 24.

Nolan was sent off twice inside four weeks against Liverpool and Fulham over the festive period, and Allardyce admitted he questioned whether the former Bolton and Newcastle star would remain as captain of the Hammers, let alone get back in the side.

However, the 31-year-old has been in wonderful form since and has scored five goals in five games which has played a major role in West Ham now occupying a top half position.

Nolan’s form for the first half of the season was retched and the Hammers fans made their feelings clear on numerous occasions.

A lot has happened since then, though, and Nolan received a standing ovation when substituted in the second half during yesterday’s win over Southampton, and Allardyce is also appreciating the form of his skipper.

“I can believe the turnaround because I know his qualities,” he said of Nolan.

“What I like about it is that he has gone about his job and made sure he repays everybody at the club for what happened.

“It was the lowest point of his career, I think, because it was not just one sending off but two in a short period of time.

“The contribution now is massive and it is not just the goals, but the pass he made for the first goal – a top quality pass at this level, which split open a very resilient Southampton defence. Long may it continue.”

Não foi a atuação mais inspirada do Flamengo no 0 a 0 contra o Volta Redonda, neste sábado, no Maracanã. Apesar disso, o Rubro-negro poderia ter saído com a vitória e a classificação antecipada não fosse o erro da arbitragem nos últimos minutos, que viu impedimento no gol legal de Hugo Moura.

O camisa 17 partiu em posição legal no momento do chute de Diego, mal rebatido pelo goleiro do Voltaço, e completou para o gol. O volante de origem, que vem se adaptando bem à zaga, surpreendeu ao eximir arbitragem de culpa:

– Isso aí…ele está sujeito a errar, todos nós estamos sujeito a errar também. Agora é respirar e ver o próximo jogo. Mas, graças a Deus, o time foi bem. Vamos ver o que o professor vai falar.

O Flamengo entrou na noite deste sábado com um time no mínimo misto. Ao todo, seis garotos do ‘Ninho’ participaram do empate. Perguntado se a falta de entrosamento atrapalhou o desempenho da equipe, Hugo lembrou o empate contra o Vasco para justificar a sua satisfação.

– Acho que a gente fez um bom jogo contra o Vasco na semana passada, hoje mantivemos um bom padrão, mas nem todo jogo a gente vai ganhar – disse.

Com o resultado, a equipe de Abel Braga foi a oito pontos no Grupo C e segue na vice-liderança na Taça Rio. Já o Voltaço está com sete pontos no Grupo B. O Fla faz a última rodada da Taça Rio fora de casa contra o Madureira, nesta terça-feira (20), às 20h30. O Voltaço, por sua vez, enfrenta a Cabofriense nesta quarta-feira, às 19h30, em Cabo Frio.

The Supreme Court, while admitting a special leave petition filed by the BCCI last Friday, has issued a notice to the Cricket Association of Bihar, asking it to reply by August 29

The Supreme Court has given the Cricket Association of Bihar till August 29 to respond•AFP

The Supreme Court, while admitting a special leave petition (SLP) filed by the BCCI last Friday, has issued a notice to the Cricket Association of Bihar (CAB), asking it to reply by August 29. However, the court has not permitted the BCCI to examine the inquiry commission’s report, which was submitted last week, and is yet to be opened.The BCCI had filed the SLP against a Bombay High Court order that said that the board had violated its own rules in the formation of the inquiry commission investigating the corruption allegations against the owners of Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals, as well as the two franchises in general.The High Court order was in response to a public interest litigation (PIL) filed by CAB secretary Aditya Verma. The BCCI’s 13-page SLP contested the High Court order on various grounds, including its decision to entertain the PIL, given the board’s status as a private body. It had also sought to challenge the petitioner’s right to file a PIL and question the legality of the inquiry panel when it was not even part of the BCCI, and therefore not subject to the findings of the panel.During Wednesday’s 15-minute hearing in the Supreme Court, C Aryama Sundaram, the senior legal counsel appearing for BCCI, did not ask for any interim relief. Sundaram, arguing the case with Raju Subramaniam and Radha Rangaswamy, was heard by the two-judge bench of Justices AK Patnaik and Jagdish Singh Khehar. The court then asked CAB’s legal team to file their reply by August 29.Sundaram sought the court’s permission for the BCCI’s working committee to look at the contents of the inquiry commission’s report. He said that since the inquiry was an internal affair of the BCCI, its members should be allowed to read the report. However, the court felt that would be improper, and that it would only be correct to argue that point during the August 29 hearing.”The Supreme Court, at the stage of mentioning, can either issue a notice or dismiss the petition saying there is no substance. If the court finds there is substance, then it will issue a notice and direct the opponent to file a reply normally within four to six weeks,” a BCCI insider told ESPNcricinfo. “The date of hearing in this case is a miscellaneous date, so it should not take much time to dispose of the case.”Wednesday’s developments in the Supreme Court are unlikely to be a deterrent to N Srinivasan who is continuing as the BCCI president. If the Supreme Court doesn’t pronounce its ruling before the BCCI annual general meeting (AGM), slated to be held in the last week of September, Srinivasan may still continue to be the president for an additional year. According to the BCCI constitution, a president’s initial two-year term can be extended by another if the board backs him. Srinivasan will have completed two years by the September AGM.As one of the measures that would help improve his image in public, Srinivasan may back the appointment of a fresh inquiry commission, in place of the one whose appointment has been held in scrutiny. Many IPL governing council members feel the need of the hour is to appoint a new probe panel. “If the governing council proposes such a move, then the BCCI will seek opinion from its legal experts as to whether a new panel can be appointed when the matter is sub judice,” the BCCI insider revealed.

As reported by The Daily Mirror, Aston Villa are interested in making on-loan goalkeeper Sam Johnstone a permanent fixture at Villa Park in January.

What’s the story?

Johnstone has impressed at the Villans since joining on loan from Manchester United in January and this season already has helped the club keep five clean sheets in the Championship.

Now manager Steve Bruce wants to tie him down as number one at the club for the next few years and is eyeing a January move for the 24-year-old.

As quoted by The Mirror, Bruce said:

It would be great to keep him here for the next few years as Villa’s number one. I will need to ask the question. The ideal move for us would be to buy him in January. You’ve seen it, a young goalkeeper coming in and getting better with every game he plays.

It’s clear then that the club are massively interested in the Man United man, but is this the right career move for Johnstone himself?

Johnstone’s future

Now well into his twenties, what Johnstone needs most is regular first-team football and moving away from Manchester United is by far is best opportunity for that. David De Gea, as one of the world’s best goalkeepers, is always going to be first-choice at Old Trafford and the Villa star can do little to change that.

A move to another Premier League club so early could also be detrimental. He still has plenty of learning to do and cutting his teeth in the Championship is doing him no harm at all.

Villa have ambitions to get back into the top-flight and if Johnstone commits to the club it could be perfect for all parties in the years to come.

In the short-term, Villa Park appears to be a fantastic home for the goalkeeper and if the club can get the deal done, he should have no hesitation in signing up.
