Jermaine Dupri has finally admitted he was responsible for breaking up his eight-year relationship with music legend, Janet Jackson. In his recently released interview on Power 105.1 FM’s ‘The Breakfast Club,’ the iconic music producer told hosts DJ Envy, Angela Lee and Charlamagne Tha God, that he probably caused the split because “he’s not perfect”. “I believe that my life is a definition of a journey and inside that journey there were supposed to be things that happen and me having a relationship with her [Janet] I definitely know it was part of my life that I was thought a…

Manchester United right-back Guillermo Varela has said Louis van Gaal can be “difficult” but he now feels he has the trust of the manager. Varela, 22, has made four appearances for United this season with the club short on options in defence following injuries to Antonio Valencia, Ashley Young and Phil Jones. The Uruguayan was linked with a temporary switch to Serie A side Genoa during the winter transfer window, but it is reported that Van Gaal decided to retain his services. However, he added: “He has a difficult personality. Sometimes it is not so easy for the players.” Varela…
Aaron Ramsey and Olivier Giroud said Arsenal must go on a run in the Premier League to make up the ground they have lost to their title rivals in the last few games. Arsenal were held to a frustrating 0-0 draw by Southampton on Tuesday to drop to fourth place in the standings as their main rivals all won. The Gunners are now five points behind leader Leicester, but host Claudio Ranieri’s side at the Emirates on Feb. 14, after travelling to Bournemouth on Sunday. “We’re going to have to bounce back and go on a bit of a run,”…
Louis van Gaal believes it is in his best interests for Wayne Rooney to become Manchester United’s record scorer — because his captain’s goals bring him luck. The Dutchman had left Rooney on the bench when United lost 2-0 to Stoke in December but scored his seventh goal in as many games as his side continued their 2016 revival with a 3-0 win over Mark Hughes’ side. It further eased the pressure on manager Van Gaal, who said Rooney is undroppable now and who noted his return to form has coincided with United’s improved results. The 30-year-old took his tally…
Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri hailed Jamie Vardy’s stunning goal in the 2-0 win over Liverpool as “unbelievable,” while the striker said he is not planning on leaving the club anytime soon. Vardy showed why he is so highly valued at the King Power Stadium on the hour mark as he got on the end of a long ball from deep by Riyad Mahrez. The England striker was instantly on the move, leaving Dejan Lovren trailing, and he allowed the ball to drop over his shoulder before unleashing a first-time half-volley from 25 yards which screamed over Simon Mignolet. Shortly after…
Bayern Munich’s injury crisis in defence has worsened with Javi Martinez ruled out of Sunday’s Bundesliga match against Hoffenheim and set to miss the coming weeks. Bayern’s director of sport Matthias Sammer confirmed reports Martinez has injured his left knee, the same joint in which he tore the cruciate ligament in August 2014, but played it down. “It’s not a big story,” he told German Sky, as Bayern played a three-man defence against Hoffenheim in Munich. “He has a problem and accordingly, our doctors have taken various measures and he’ll be examined again.” Martinez is the 15th Bayern player to…
Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri believes his impressive crop of young stars can achieve even more as they target a club record of 13 successive league wins with the visit of Genoa on Wednesday. The four-time consecutive champions have put their miserable start to the season behind them and closed to within two points of leaders Napoli following a 4-0 rout of Chievo in Verona on Sunday. After being ruled out of title contention at the start of the season, Allegri was only too happy to announce the Old Lady is back with a bang. “Our 12 consecutive wins are a…
Manager Francesco Guidolin had mixed emotions about Swansea City conceding a late equaliser against West Bromwich Albion on Tuesday, but focused on the positives as the point put more distance between the Welsh side and the relegation zone. Salomon Rondon’s equaliser deep into stoppage time prevented the Swans from claiming all three points at the Hawthorns, but Guidolin’s men extended their unbeaten league run to three games to move five points clear of the relegation scrap. “Football is like this,” Guidolin told the club’s website (www.swanseacity.net). “I’m disappointed but optimistic because I watched my team play very well. “We lose…
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger says his side are playing catch-up in the Premier League title race after Tuesday’s goalless draw with Southampton left them five points behind leaders Leicester City with 14 games remaining. A four-game winless streak in the league has seen Arsenal slip to fourth in the table after Tottenham Hotspur’s 3-0 victory over Norwich City took Mauricio Pochettino’s men ahead of the Gunners on goal difference. “We have to catch that back and we have a difficult programme, especially away from home. We need to respond quickly away from home now,” Wenger told the club’s website (www.arsenal.com).…
Stoke City manager Mark Hughes has bemoaned his side’s poor start in Tuesday’s 3-0 Premier League defeat at Manchester United, saying the concession of two early goals left the Potters with too big a deficit to make up. Jesse Lingard opened the scoring for a rampant Red Devils in the 14th minute before Anthony Martial’s curling finish made it 2-0 nine minutes later as the hosts netted in the first half of a game at Old Trafford for the first time since September. Wayne Rooney’s tap-in seven minutes after the break was enough to seal all three points for Manchester…
Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini does not believe that the impending arrival of Pep Guardiola to succeed him will overshadow the club’s four-pronged quest for silverware this season. Tuesday’s 2-1 win at Sunderland gave Pellegrini a 65th Premier League victory in 100 games, a ratio bettered only by former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho, who won 73 of his first 100 English top-flight matches. The Chilean’s record eclipses that of Alex Ferguson over his first 100 games in the English top tier and is better than both predecessor Roberto Mancini and Liverpool’s Rafael Benitez. But it will not prevent him being…
A representative of Brazilian club Santos told a Spanish court on Tuesday they had felt cheated by Neymar and his father after details of the football star’s transfer to Barcelona emerged, judicial sources said. Appearing before a judge in a Madrid court specialising in major financial affairs, Fatima Cristina Bonassa, representing the club where the player started his career, said the Brazilian striker was an adult at the time of transfer and knew what he was signing. Bonassa was heard for five hours by Judge José de la Mata over alleged irregularities in Neymar’s transfer to Barcelona in 2013, following…
Manuel Pellegrini’s hopes of seeing out his Manchester City reign this season in a blaze of glory were boosted on Tuesday as the masterful Sergio Aguero delivered again in an unconvincing 1-0 win at struggling Sunderland. One day after City announced Pep Guardiola would be taking over from Pellegrini as manager at the end of the season, the Chilean’s push for a second Premier League title received impetus from a familiar source as City’s matchless Argentine netted after just 16 minutes. In Pellegrini’s 100th Premier League match in charge of City, Aguero’s typically composed finish after a deflected cross fell…
Southampton keeper Fraser Forster produced a series of stunning saves to frustrate Arsenal and leave the Gunners without a win in four league games. Forster twice denied Mesut Ozil in the first half as Arsenal struggled to create opportunities. He was even busier in the second half as the hosts pressed for a breakthrough, making one flying save to keep out a curler from Olivier Giroud and two efforts from Theo Walcott who came on as a substitute. Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez, making his first start since November after returning from injury, had another effort cleared off the line as…
A wonder-goal from England striker Jamie Vardy helped prolong Leicester City’s remarkable Premier League title challenge as they defeated Liverpool 2-0 at the King Power Stadium on Tuesday. Vardy scored both of the Foxes’ goals, taking his tally to 18, and the first was a stunning strike from the right-hand corner of the penalty area that capped another astonishing night for his team. That goal, on the hour-mark, was followed by a close-range goal 11 minutes later that gave Leicester a deserved win and maintained their three-point lead at the top of the table. Leicester might have claimed the lead…
Manchester United reminded their fans of a bygone era after a superb performance gave the winners of a record 20 English league titles a 3-0 home win over Stoke City in the Premier League on Tuesday. Jesse Lingard and Anthony Martial struck in the first half and Wayne Rooney was on target after the interval, scoring his 99th league goal at Old Trafford and taking his Premier League tally in January to five goals and two assists. The result kept United in the hunt for a top-four finish, while it also eased the pressure on Dutch manager Louis van Gaal.…
