Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Eden Hazard, Kevin De Bruyne, David De Gea and a long list of high profile names adorn the jerseys for various Premier League teams with the huge wages and mind-boggling transfer fees paid by the clubs also having their fair share of the newsreel and adding pomp and pride to the title. Here, let’s take a look at those players, who are still on the books of the top 6 premier league sides, but do not deserve to be there after multiple disappointing outings not worthy of the hype they deserve....

To an MMA fan, art is Anderson Silva weaving around Forrest Griffin’s punches, Matrix-style, before putting him down with a single shot. And TJ Dillashaw’s phantom footwork that has his opponents so hypnotized that they never see the kill shot. So, MMA fighters are artists and it doesn’t need saying that all artists are given to their whims. UFC Featherweight Champion Max Holloway is obsessed with mini-cupcakes. Pablo Picasso carried a revolver loaded with blanks that he would fire at anyone who pestered him about his paintings....

Those that have been misses in the transfer market have arguably been spectacular blunders for City. City have been singled out for these signings before and it is claimed that City almost has always bought players by the price tags and not because of thorough scouting. Interestingly enough most of these players are attacking players and it is not shocking that City went in for them but it is also proof that big names do not always work....

Football was the most popular sport in Britain during the mid 19th century, but there were different sets of rules for playing the game. It was in 1863 that some football organizations in Britain, in a meeting of The Football Association, designated a specific set of official rules regarding the different kinds of football played back then. Most of the oldest clubs in the world ply their trade in the lower leagues of their regions and do not receive the attention of those at the elite level of the game....

After all, with a wrestler sharing the next bed, there’s plenty of time to discuss matches, gimmicks and new moves. With this being pro wrestling though, things are never that easy, as there have been plenty of Superstars who haven’t been able to get along. Here are five pairs of WWE Superstars you (probably) didn’t know once lived together, and how they were able to co-exist. #5 D’Lo Brown and Chris Jericho Though it never reached the same heights as the WWF, WCW or ECW, Smoky Mountain Wrestling was a key part of the 1990s, honing future stars like Kane, Chris Jericho, D’Lo Brown and Lance Storm....

Since then, no Pakistani cricketer has played in the IPL (except Azhar Mahmood, who is now a British citizen) and it is unlikely that they will be seen in the near future.

Mauricio Pochettino’s side will play a balanced, attacking brand of football where a lot of crosses will come in.

While some of the biggest transfers of recent times have been huge successes - think Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid from Manchester United - other footballers aren’t so lucky and ultimately find themselves at a team not suited for them. This could be down to a matter of style, or it could be due to fierce competition for places in the squad. It might be a cause for argument in favour of abolishing the transfer window periods as it would stop talented players being stuck in poor situations....

With an improved record on all accounts in the League compared to last season and the best season since Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement, Mourinho can put up an argument for this being a successful season for the club. Despite this, players still earning paychecks courtesy past managers may not fit into his plans going forward, and his statement makes it evident that a few names are on the chopping block....

The transfer market, is for all intents an purposes is like a medieval slave market. Here the highest bidder, more often than not gets the slave he wants. The only difference is, that in this case, the slaves, i.e the players have a bit of a choice when it comes to their new masters. The Premier League has long been famous as the first stop for world class talent. But then slave trade is a two-way street....

The French striker was one of the last big purchases made by Gunners icon Arsene Wenger before stepping down as manager in 2018. He was also the second-most expensive signing ever made by the 71-year-old as he sanctioned a staggering €53m move to bring him to England from Olympique Lyon. Over the course of his four years at Arsenal, the 29-year-old has made over 160 appearances for the club, scoring 65 goals and setting up a further 28....

Marcelo has been in the Spanish capital since 2007 and during this time has won every major honour multiple times.

But then again, trophies are not an accurate measure of an individual’s ability. We’ve seen plenty of bang-average players turn out and do a decent job for extremely successful teams. But the world we live in is obsessed with numbers and figures. Creating hierarchies and rankings based on these figures is quite common in today’s world. As football fans, even we give in to this trend. But even so, football fans would be curious to find out who the most successful or most decorated players are in the history of the sport....
