Ranking Manchester City’s modern Wembley cup finals: From Wigan despair to Toure’s triumph
Manchester City fans didn’t used to get to do this quite so often.Another trip to Wembley Stadium this weekend, this time to face Crystal Palace in the FA Cup final, will be City’s 29th cup game under the famous arch since 2011, a rate of almost two per season. It will also be their 11th cup final in that time (not including the Community Shield — which City have contested nine times of over those 14 years) following three decades without managing to reach a single one.AdvertisementAstonishing success in both domestic cups in their nine seasons under Pep Guardiola has been the catalyst for this unprecedented run, the reverence with which the Spaniard regards the English knockout competitions fuelling a determination to keep on winning them. City extended their own record when they qualified for a seventh successive FA Cup […]
This is Crystal Palace’s opportunity. Now embrace the excitement and make history
Crystal Palace must dare to dream, dare to believe, dare to achieve.The slogan on the club’s main training ground building used to read “winning is everything”. Victory over Manchester City in the FA Cup final today (Saturday) would elevate this club’s status to its highest level. It would provide the supporters, so often praised for their colourful exuberance, with a European adventure at last.AdvertisementTo come this far and fall — again — at the last fence would be devastating. But nobody within the club is contemplating that possibility. Rather, with Oliver Glasner as manager, anything seems achievable.The Austrian has transformed this club’s fortunes since his appointment 15 months ago. He has shifted the whole mentality of the place. “He’s made all of us think differently. That’s what he’s brought to the club: positivity, and a mentality,” chairman Steve Parish told […]
Brighton’s struggle to replace Alexis Mac Allister – what is the solution?
When Alexis Mac Allister returns to the Amex Stadium on Monday night as a Premier League champion for Liverpool, it will be a reminder of the midfield strength Brighton & Hove Albion had when they reached Europe for the first time two seasons ago.The Argentine 2022 World Cup winner’s companion in the engine room under former head coach Robert De Zerbi was Moises Caicedo. The Ecuadorian was recently voted as player of the season and players’ player of the season at Chelsea.AdvertisementThe partnership between the South Americans enabled De Zerbi to use Pascal Gross in a hybrid right-back role, drifting into midfield or further forward.Mac Allister has been an integral part of Liverpool’s title success under Arne Slot, featuring in 35 of 36 games as a central midfielder or in a deeper berth, registering five goals and five assists.“(He’s a) […]
Cody Bellinger won’t make Yankees fans forget Juan Soto. But he’s helping them move on
NEW YORK — From his vantage in left field, New York Yankees outfielder Cody Bellinger could hear the cascades of jeers, chants and vitriol directed toward home plate in the first inning Friday as Juan Soto stepped into the batter’s box wearing a New York Mets uniform.“It was loud, it was loud,” Bellinger said after a 6-2 Yankees victory at Yankee Stadium on the first night of the Subway Series. “I wouldn’t say I was surprised, no. But it was definitely loud.”AdvertisementThe careers of Bellinger and Soto now contain a link. Six days after Soto spurned the Yankees to sign a $765 million contract with the Mets, the Yankees pivoted to acquire Bellinger from the Chicago Cubs and plug a hole in the outfield. On a night when Yankee Stadium focused its ire on Soto, Bellinger continued an offensive upswing. […]
