In the midst of yet another injury layoff, Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey tweeted the above photo, providing further evidence that his barber absolutely hates him with every fiber of their being.
This abomination follows his skunk ‘do during the Euros earlier this summer…
Premier League tickets aren’t cheap, so when you want to witness Pep Guardiola’s first visit to Stoke, sometimes the best option is to climb a tree. That’s what one man did outside the Bet365 Stadium and his effort was rewarded by two early goals from Kun Aguero to give Man City a 2-0 first-half lead.
One might expect a player who has been frozen out and told to find a new club by his employer would retreat into the shadows of social media, but Bastian Schweinsteiger is doing the exact opposite. And it’s becoming uncomfortable for everyone.

When two superstars with giant personalities are brought together in a new team, there are always concerns about how they will get along both on and off the pitch. Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Paul Pogba have been quick to dispel these concerns at Man United, though. And they’ve already established themselves as football’s greatest comedy team.
With the Premier League expanding to Friday nights this season at the behest of Sky Sports and their £4.2 billion investment, further strain is being put on match-going fans in order to cater to the more lucrative home audience.
On the surface, this makes sense as a business decision. Optimizing the Premier League’s product for the TV money hose that’s funding an influx of talent and international business interest is a logical thing to do. But, as the Guardian points out, this addition of Friday fixtures adds to a growing list of challenges for match-going supporters.
Antonio Conte proved during Chelsea’s Premier League opener against West Ham that he has not calmed down at all since Euro 2016. If anything, he might have increased the amount of crystal meth in his Red Bull espresso.
Bamber Bridge FC were set to make the journey home after a 0-0 draw with Scarborough Athletic on Saturday when their bus broke down, stranding them more than 130 miles from home. With no transportation in sight, they made the most of the situation by flagging down a tractor and hitching a ride to the nearest pub.
Liverpool came back from 1-0 down to take a 4-1 lead over Arsenal in the 63rd minute of their Premier League opener. As the goals piled up, the excitable Jurgen Klopp couldn’t resist getting in on the celebrations, with Sadio Mané even jumping on his back for a ride after scoring the fourth. The party quickly got out of hand, however, as Arsenal scored twice to make it 4-3 and give Liverpool a scare until the final whistle.
With the benefit of hindsight and reduced adrenaline levels, Klopp realized that he might have overdone it.
Proving that his goal in the Community Shield was just him getting warmed up, Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored on his Premier League debut to help Man United to a 3-1 win over Bournemouth.

In December of last year, former Leicester striker and current Match of the Day present Gary Lineker made what seemed like a harmless joke about the likelihood of his old club holding onto first place in the Premier League over the final five months of the season.
