“Look, what I don’t like in life is that (for) a very serious thing, a football manager’s opinion is important. I don’t understand it,” Klopp responded. “I really don’t understand it, if I asked you, you are in exactly the same role as I am,” the manager continued. “So it’s not important what famous people say. We have to speak about things in the right manner, not people with no knowledge, like me, talking about something....

In case you didn’t know… Manchester City tore records apart last season with each passing week and with their rivals strengthening their squads, it didn’t seem like the heroics of last season would be repeated.

They are undefeated in the league this season and are on sublime form, six points ahead of Tottenham, who sit second on the table....

Pity the poor Democrats, especially the ones running for president. They want politics these days to focus on questions such as: where are the weapons of mass destruction George W.

But the media wants to ask different questions: what do you think of what Hillary Clinton writes in her new autobiography? Do you believe her version?...
