After Odion Ighalo’s unexpected loan move at the end of January and his coronavirus-related quarantine, at Stamford Bridge on Monday he is expected to become the first Nigerian to play for Manchester United. As the unexpected solution to a famous club’s striker shortage, he will be the subject of wild attention and swift judgment, a situation a world away from the one he faced when he first moved to Europe in 2007 and became the latest in an only occasionally glorious line of compatriots attempting to forge a reputation at the Norwegian club Lyn.
The star graduate, Mikel John Obi, had joined Chelsea the previous year, and the speedy striker Chinedu Obasi had left for Hoffenheim just before Ighalo’s arrival, which followed unsuccessful …

Liverpool have condemned “offensive and inappropriate” homophobic chanting aimed at Norwich’s on-loan midfielder Billy Gilmour.
Mohamed Salah’s sublime strike seals Liverpool win over NorwichRead more
The Scotland player, who joined Norwich in July, was targeted during their 3-0 defeat to Liverpool at Carrow Road by a section of away fans, due to Chelsea being his parent club.
The chants were called out online by Kop Outs, Liverpool’s LGBT+ Fans Group, with the condemnation retweeted by the club, who added: “The chant is offensive and inappropriate – a message we have repeatedly communicated alongside Kop Outs. We urge supporters to remember the inclusive values of the club and to refrain from using it …

Midfield battle key as Arsenal take on Bayern
Arsenal head to Germany with a much-needed spring in their step. After a poor start to 2023, the tide has turned and they appear to be brimming with confidence. Stina Blackstenius is back among the goals while Frida Maanum and Kim Little have been imperious in the middle.
They will need every ounce of this belief when they face in-form Bayern Munich at the Allian…
BREAKING NEWS
Manchester City and the Premier League are both claiming victory – of course – after the champions challenged its rules on commercial deals.
THE NEED FOR SPEED
As if scoring a goal inside the opening minute of three consecutive top-flight matches wasn’t remarkable enough, the manner in which Brentford managed to do so without going on to win any of the games in question rather beggars belief. The first defeat was understandable, with Yoane Wissa taking the foolhardy decision to hoof the hornet’s nest at the home of the champions after just 23 seconds. And while there was a certain inevitability about the Bees’ ensuing defe…
If one didn’t want to kick dirt on Vlatko Andonovski as he recedes from the USWNT manager job, and kicking dirt is kind of what we do around here, it would be wise to point out the size of the task he was faced with. He took over a team that had won two World Cups on the spin, so there was really nowhere to go but down, and also had to start turning the team over to the next crop of players. That’s tricky for anyone and any team, not to mention squads that are having to move on and progress from all-time greats as the USWNT was. Injuries and other absences only hastened the process, and maybe the players that were replacing the older ones just weren’t as good. Andi Sullivan is not what Julie Ertz was. Trinity Rodman is full of promise, but is she Tobin Heath or Christen Press? Al…
Some people are fans of the Jacksonville Jaguars. But many, many more people are NOT fans of the Jacksonville Jaguars. This 2017 Deadspin NFL team preview is for those in the latter group. Read all the previews so far here. Your team: Jacksonville Jaguars. That’s not how you spell that. Your 2016 record: 3-13. Here now is a full summary of your season: The Jaguars have lost 11 or more games for six straight seasons, and they’ve done it all without managing to secure the top pick in the draft even once during that stretch. At least when Cleveland loses, they go all out. By contrast, the Jaguars put on a cheap sheen of continuity and professionalism that renders them forgettable even when they’re steadily smashing records for hideous incompetence. Gus Bradley was 14-48 when …
Some people are fans of the Tampa Bay Bucs. But many, many more people are NOT fans of the Tampa Bay Bucs. This 2014 Deadspin NFL team preview is for those in the latter group.
Your team: Tampa Bay Bucs
Your 2013 record: 4-12. Sometimes a won/loss record is woefully inadequate when it comes to conveying just how shitty your season was. This is true of Cleveland pretty much every year, and it was double super extra true of the Bucs last season. They rigged captain votes. They leaked drug test results to the media. Their players mutinied, which is fitting for a pirate-themed football team. They cut their franchise quarterback in the middle of the season. Coaches yelled at players for daring to exhibit basic human decency. The staph infection that swept through the Bucs loc…
