Enrique Cerezo has said that he has no reason to believe Antoine Griezmann wants to leave the club, and recent comments made on French TV were only jokes. “You do not understand Griezmann, or his sense of humour,” Cerezo said. “He wants to stay. He is saying what he has to say. I have not seen him say anywhere that he wants to leave, just the opposite, that he wants to stay as, among other things, he has a contract.” Cerezo himself cracked a joke when asked about Griezmann having suggested he liked the idea of lining up alongside Kylian…
John Stones is of the opinion that England can learn from going toe-to-toe with FIFA’s top two ranked sides, after Gareth Southgate’s team followed last week’s 0-0 draw with Germany by recording the same result against Brazil on Tuesday night. “We can take confidence from knowing we’ve competed against the top two teams in the world,” said Stones. “We came off the pitch really pleased because of the attacking threat they had. Obviously we’ve not scored but we were solid. It’s a step in the right direction.” “It’s been difficult for the manager with the injuries,” said Stones. “Whoever gets…

Messi and Cristiano are the ones that have grown it and the ones that have made us what we are today because they have been with us for many years.

But when 15-time Grammy winner Alicia Keys and rapper husband Swizz Beatz strolled into Mr. Tod’s Pies Factory around noon Sunday, he took a much-appreciated break. “She sat down and…
