Cincinnati Bengals 2025 Record Prediction
Ralph Vacchiano: The Bengals are loaded and good enough to be a playoff team, but the key to everything for them will be what happens in September and early October. They are notoriously slow starters and couldn’t pull themselves out of their early 1-4 hole last year. And in a division where the Ravens are a powerhouse and the Steelers should still be good, a fast start is essential. So it’s a huge help that Cincinnati’s first two games are against the Browns (in Cleveland) and Jaguars (at home). The NFL gave the Bengals a fighting chance to start fast. After that, things get dicey, especially on the road. They play at the homes of six playoff teams, including Green Bay, Minnesota, Denver and Buffalo. They had better take advantage of their soft opening. Record Prediction: 10-7

Sonia Bompastor is Chelsea’s ultimate competitor, raising standards and always eyeing history
Had Chelsea not ended the Women’s Super League (WSL) season unbeaten, captain Millie Bright would have been livid. The defender said so to her team-mates and on her podcast. She was unequivocal.“You wouldn’t catch me at the after party. Winning the league or not, that would’ve completed ruined my season if we’d lost,” she said on Daly Brightness, referring to the final game of the season against Liverpool, when history rested on that result at Stamford Bridge.AdvertisementMaybe for some Bright’s comments come across as over the top. But for this Chelsea side they’re not. WSL winners with an ‘invincible’ record and a league record 60 points — 18 of which arrived against supposed title rivals Arsenal, Manchester City and Manchester United — a League Cup trophy won and a trip to Wembley for the FA Cup final coming this Sunday, […]
It’s the end of an era at West Ham as Moyes’ ‘Band of Brothers’ continues to be broken up
It was during Vladimir Coufal’s day off that he decided to immerse himself in West Ham United’s history.The right-back, who joined from Slavia Prague in October 2020, had been at the club for 19 months when he decided to take a stroll along Green Street. Coufal and his wife, Hana, visited the Boleyn Tavern pub. It is here where supporters congregated on matchday before making the short walk to Upton Park, the stadium where West Ham played from 1904 to 2016.AdvertisementCoufal took pictures in front of the ‘Long live the Boleyn’ and Billy Bonds and Sir Trevor Brooking murals, located near the junction of Priory Road and Barking Road.Reflecting on Coufal’s love for the club is especially poignant this week given the recent confirmation that his contract will not be renewed at the end of the season.

Sean Neave, Newcastle’s Carabao Cup winner who has yet to appear for the first team
Sean Neave is the champion you have never heard of — and never even seen play. Nobody has at first-team level.There Neave is at Wembley on March 16, in the background below, three months shy of his 18th birthday, having been named in only his third senior matchday squad and yet to make an appearance.Yet, as Darren Eales, Newcastle United’s chief executive, lifts the Carabao Cup aloft, behind him is Neave with a gold winners’ medal dangling around his neck. Sean Neave looks on as Darren Eales celebrates with the trophy (Stu Forster/Getty Images)For any teenage prodigy, that represents a remarkable start to a career. But when you consider Neave is a boyhood Newcastle fan, the tale becomes truly unprecedented.This is a club that had failed to lift domestic silverware for 70 years and, for more than three-quarters of Neave’s […]
Five Aston Villa players have been on loan to Real Union – we went to Spain to see how it’s working
A few hundred yards from Spain’s border with France, in the quintessential Basque town of Irun, a Shrewsbury Town shirt sits on the table.It is in Real Union’s office in the Gal Stadium.

His first was here at Real Union for six months of last season.

Why the 2025 FA Cup final may be the last hurrah for Manchester City’s golden generation
It has become a bit of a cliche for Pep Guardiola to say that Manchester City could not have won what they have won without a particular player.“I cannot identify my period at Manchester City without him,” he said of Bernardo Silva in April.“I’ve said many times, how many years we are together, eight years with Eddie, the success that we had,” he said of Ederson in October. “Without him? I cannot visualise. I cannot.”Advertisement“It cannot be possible what we have done in these many, many years without him,” he said of Kevin De Bruyne recently.Guardiola can tend towards hyperbole, by his own admission, but in this case the reality is that City have had a golden generation, with so many players making contributions that are out of the ordinary.It is usually only once glory days are well and truly […]
