She captioned the picture with just one word “Melancholy”.

Khloe has been a big supporter of Rob over his struggle to deal with the realities of life in the constant spotlight. She allowed him into her house amid criticism from some of the other Kardashian sisters, and…
Liverpool visit Sunderland in the Barclays Premier League with Christian Benteke eager to build momentum after scoring the winner in the 1-0 win over high-flying Leicester City. Benteke netted the only goal of the game at Anfield on Boxing Day to deal Leicester their first league defeat since September. The Belgian’s strike was his first in seven matches but he and eighth-placed Liverpool can afford to be confident of finding the net again at the Stadium of Light against a second-bottom Sunderland side that has shipped 37 goals this season. “I spoke with the manager a few days ago about…
Roma approached former Inter and Chelsea manager José Mourinho shortly after his Stamford Bridge exit last week. The Portuguese manager was offered the Roma job after the Capitoline side’s shock Coppa Italia elimination at the hands of Serie B side Spezia last Wednesday. Roma have tried to tempt the Special One with a multi-year contact and giving him carte blanche in the transfer market, so that he can make the team his own. According to popular transfer pundit Fabrizio Romano, Mourinho has turned down Roma’s bid as he doesn’t want to coach an Italian team at the moment. Romano also…
During an interview accorded to La Gazzetta Sportiva, Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Marco Verratti said: “Am I tired of winning just French titles? Well, you have to know that winning the Ligue 1 is always a pleasure, as nobody makes gift. Of course, I regret the fact that I never played in the Serie A, but you never know what can happen in the future. It’s true that in Italy, if you make a mistake, you’re out. In which Italian team do I see myself? I would say Fiorentina, for the way they play” The 22-year-old has also talked about two…
Barcelona have been forced to miss out the last two transfer windows for violation of rules regarding the transfer of International youth players, but the Catalans will be allowed to sign news players from January 2016. Lot of Italian and Serie A players have been linked with a Nou Camp move in January, but the Catalans Sporting Director Ariedo Braida has ruled out such rumors talking exclusively to calciomercato.com’s Serie A pundit Pasquale Guarro. “There are far too many transfer rumors. I have never talked to Candreava or Bernardeschi, nor I have approached their clubs”, the former Milan director said.
In the last days, Inter Milan president Erick Thohir has declared that he would like to bring Barcelona star Lionel Messi to San Siro one day. During an interview accorded to Sky, his Barça counterpart Josep Maria Bartomeu said: “Messi has a conctract with Barcelona and he’s happy to be here. He’s spent most of his life here, he still has three years on his contract and our goal is to have him ending his career as a player here” “He’s a dream that won’t come true for Inter” he added “he will stop to play for us when he…
Could Cesc Fabregas be coming to Italy? Following a very good 14-15 season with Chelsea, in which he helped the Pensioners lift the Premier League once more, the Spaniard’s time at Stamford Bridge has been a nightmare. From his bad relationship with Jose Mourinho to his frankly worse performances, the Spanish star has been a shadow of the consistent force of nature Arsenal could boast in their midfield. Ironically, Mourinho’s departure from Stamford Bridge may well push the Spaniard away, and convince him that he has a better shot at silverware elsewhere. Could this be Serie A? The Corriere dello…
With Juventus facing Bayern Munich in just over six weeks for a place in the Champions League quarterfinals, who better than a legend from the Old Lady’s glory days to talk about its chances? Alessandro Del Piero spoke at length to the Gazzetta dello Sport today about Juventus, Bayern, and Serie A’s chances of competing with other European Leagues. Oh, and the small matter of Napoli, Fiorentina, and that Paul Pogba chap. ”I think it’s a bit early to start giving Juventus tips. A lot of things can change in two months. I think that having so much time to…
Believe it or not, Juventus and Chelsea aren’t just talking about Juan Cuadrado. Even more crucially, the Colombian (and not Peruvian, as a certain dolt on our staff seems to think*) may not even be the Bianconeri’s top priority. The 27-year-old wants to stay in Italy, but the Turinese outfit doesn’t want to spend the €22 million outlined in his buyout clause. The Pensioners certainly don’t want to give him away on the cheap, especially after his next coach (Conte?) may find him useful. With Jose Mourinho leaving, Chelsea’s hierarchies will probably change twice, with Guud Hiddink and his replacement…
Swansea City will consider offloading Bafetimbi Gomis to the Middle East next month ahead of a squad overhaul in the summer. The Frenchman is believed to be a £6.5million target for Lekhwiya, with the Qatari club deliberating over an offer of £60,000-a-week to land the striker. Swansea are understood to be receptive to bids for a 30-year-old who has faded badly after a good start this season and who, at the start of the year, infuriated the club’s hierarchy by indicating his desire to leave at a time when it was known Wilfried Bony would be joining Manchester City. He…
Louis van Gaal has a potential escape route if he is forced to leave Manchester United, with Netherlands national coach Danny Blind, one of his closest friends in football, raising the idea of him become technical director for his nation. Van Gaal’s position is safe for Saturday’s home match against Swansea City and probably the Old Trafford FA Cup tie with Sheffield United a week later. But his future remains uncertain, with Manchester United already five points adrift of fourth place in the Premier League table. Managerless Swansea’s record of four wins in five against United forms the backdrop to…
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is considering a £4million bid for Leicester’s England under-20 international Ben Chilwell. Klopp wants to move swiftly for the highly-rated left-back, who is yet to make a Premier League appearance, as he plans for the future at Anfield. Chilwell is on loan at Huddersfield Town and has only made one appearance for Leicester but is already regarded as a future England international, with Arsenal having a £3.5million offer rejected in the summer. Klopp and Liverpool’s recruitment team were intending to move for the 19-year-old in the summer but are now ready to step up their interest…
Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany will be out with a calf injury for another “three or four” weeks, manager Manuel Pellegrini says. Kompany, 28, limped out of the Boxing Day win over Sunderland after a brief substitute appearance. City drew 0-0 at Leicester on Tuesday, their first clean sheet of the season without the Belgium defender. “It is the same calf but a different part,” said Pellegrini, whose side are third in the Premier League table. Kompany has missed 11 of his team’s 19 league matches this season after injuring his calf against Juventus on 15 September. He briefly returned…
Manchester United’s entire squad is playing for its future, says defender Chris Smalling. Boss Louis van Gaal faces speculation over his job after going eight games without a victory, United’s worst run since 1989-90. But England international Smalling says no-one should feel safe. “If anything, we are all playing for our own futures as well,” the 26-year-old said. “To say we’re not playing for the manager is silly.” Van Gaal has overseen seven goalless draws this term and his team are five points adrift of fourth place in the Premier League table, halfway through the Premier League season. Despite conjecture…
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has said his side’s trip to Sunderland on Wednesday will provide another test of their ability to compete with physical opponents. Klopp predicted that Sam Allardyce’s side would go back to basics after their 4-1 defeat at Manchester City on Boxing Day — and that would reveal whether the Reds could deal with such a threat consistently. Liverpool beat then league leaders Leicester on Boxing Day after having previously struggled against strong, deep-defending sides such as Crystal Palace and West Bromwich Albion. “Everybody can imagine what will happen at Sunderland,” Klopp told a news conference. “I…
Louis van Gaal should be given more time to succeed as Manchester United manager — according to his sacked predecessor, David Moyes. Moyes was given a six-year contract when he succeeded Sir Alex Ferguson at Old Trafford in 2013 but lasted less than 10 months before he was fired with United in seventh place. Van Gaal’s team are now sixth after going out of the Champions League, going eight games without a win and losing four of their last five matches. But while the Dutchman is under pressure, Moyes believes that he has a huge rebuilding job as United adjust…
Guus Hiddink has played down talk of Cesc Fabregas leaving Chelsea in January and confirmed that the Spaniard will be fit to face Crystal Palace. A number of reports this week claimed that Fabregas — who was substituted at half-time during Chelsea’s 2-2 draw with Watford on Saturday and missed Monday’s trip to Old Trafford to face Manchester United with a high temperature — is facing an uncertain future at Stamford Bridge, with both Juventus and Inter reported to be interested in bringing him to Serie A in the New Year. Fabregas has had a disappointing season at Chelsea and…
Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi is preparing to play his 500th game for the club in Wednesday evening’s La Liga clash with Real Betis at the Camp Nou. Messi, 28, is in line to reach the milestone 10 years and two months after making his first appearance for the Catalan club, although recent medical issues and plenty of air miles may mean he starts on the bench. After passing a kidney stone a few days before that FIFA Club World Cup final on Dec. 20, he then travelled over 40,000 kilometres in returning to Barcelona, flying to Argentina to spend Christmas…
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger says he will be busy in the January transfer window as he seeks reinforcements to keep the Gunners on top of the Premier League. The Frenchman would not be drawn on names, however, despite British media reports that Basle’s Egyptian international midfielder Mohamed Elneny was set to become his first signing of 2016. “You know more than I do. Unfortunately we cannot announce anything at the moment about this player because nothing has been concluded,” Wenger told a news conference ahead of Saturday’s home game against struggling Newcastle United. “I will be busy, yes. I am…
