Of all the characteristics that set Kendrick Lamar apart — his blazing verbal gifts, his determined cultural politics, his resolute aesthetic modesty — perhaps the most unusual, especially in this era of hyper-connectedness, has been his particular blend of assuredness and indifference. Excepting the occasional sidelong shot at a peer — one that’s fired down from the top of the mount, really — it often sounds as if he needed to hear only his own ticktock for guidance. But he has been listening all along, watching how others perceive him, feeling the shifts in their energy. That’s the Mr. Lamar…

When Wizkid scored a win with Drake on ‘Come closer’, there were pockets of fans that had to become trolls on social media. First they brought in Skales and how he continues to fail in his promise to bring back a Grammy. That’s pretty normal troll material on Twitter. Nothing to see there. But the trolls didn’t stop there. They had to take a shot at D’banj, painting him as a failure for not having ‘tangible personal achievements’ during his time with Kanye West and G.O.O.D Music. As it’s normal with Twitter, once a troll makes a classless half argument,…

First Stoke, now West Brom. In successive weeks, Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool have negotiated two of the Premier League’s toughest destinations to collect six points that keep them in third place, two points ahead of Manchester City. “We’ve got Tony Pulis,” home fans had sung in the opening minutes, as if to signal what type of occasion this would be. Just as the West Brom manager prescribes, it was gritty and grinding, with his team relying on the counter and their familiar free kick, corner and throw-in routines for most of their attacks. Roberto Firmino, the winning goalscorer, and Philippe Coutinho…

Tottenham’s 4-0 win over Bournemouth on Saturday — a record 12th-consecutive home win and the first time since 1967 they have won seven-straight top-flight games — left them four points behind league leaders Chelsea, who failed to extend their advantage on Sunday, losing 2-0 at Manchester United. The London rivals meet in next Saturday’s FA Cup semifinal at Wembley, before the final six league matches, including tricky trips to Everton and West Brom for the Blues.…

Goalkeeper: Kicking us off is a man who was also between our sticks last week. Simon Mignolet is enjoying something of a resurgence in a Liverpool shirt and was once again crucial to his side’s picking up three points.

Manchester United midfielder Ander Herrera insists he did not handle the ball before assisting Marcus Rashford’s opening goal in Sunday’s 2-0 triumph over Chelsea. Herrera’s through ball from deep in midfield led Rashford behind the Chelsea defence before the 19-year-old forward coolly slotted past backup keeper Asmir Begovic in the seventh minute. However, the ball appeared to hit the Spain international’s arm before he won possession from Nemanja Matic. Chelsea were upset with the referee’s decision to not call a handball on the play, but Herrera defended the validity of his actions after the match. “I didn’t want to touch…

Antonio Conte told Sky Sports he blamed himself for Chelsea’s 2-0 defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford and said Jose Mourinho’s team had shown greater desire to win the game. An early goal from Marcus Rashford and a deflected strike from Ander Herrera were enough for Mourinho to earn his first victory against Conte’s Chelsea at the third attempt. The Premier League leaders failed to register a shot on target in a Premier League match for the first time since December 2015, and the result means their lead over Tottenham Hotspur is just four points with six games remaining.…

It was two years ago this weekend that Manchester United blew away the cobwebs of the David Moyes era with a 4-2 victory over Manchester City at Old Trafford but, as much as that win was a cathartic moment for a club still coming to terms with the 2013 retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson, it proved to be a false dawn for Louis van Gaal and his team. United proceeded to lose their next three Premier League games — against Chelsea, Everton and West Brom — and it was that run of disappointing results, rather than the high of defeating…

With several of their highest-profile playmakers either on the bench, in the stands or nowhere near the stadium, Manchester United turned in by far their most impressive showing of the season on Sunday, dismissing league leaders Chelsea by a score of 2-0. United denied their visitors even a single completed pass in their penalty area and extended their unbeaten run in the Premier League to 22 matches. This was the signature performance so many had been calling for from Jose Mourinho’s men and, with a seemingly weakened team, they delivered in startling style. It was fitting, too, that the game’s…
