Tribal casino resort of the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe will receive the final answer in 30 days.

Several gambling sites have been talking about the tribal casino resort project of the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe. The Indian tribe aims to build a casino resort in the city of Taunton for which the Mayor of appears to be in favour of, however they have encountered some problems.

Representatives of the Mashpee tribe are optimistic in connection with their project and believe that the US federal department will be positive about them as well. The tribe’s lawyer also believes that there are several positive signs so they are optimistic for a reason.

Boston Globe: Decision on Mashpee Wampanoag tribal casino may be imminent

 
According to the reports by gambling news in the United States, the case of the Mashpee Wampanoag Indian tribe will be closed in 30 days. Their aim is to find out whether the government will support the Indian tribe with a license for their USD 500 million project of setting up a new casino in Taunton.

Representatives of the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe were asked whether they believe in receiving a license or not. They replied that they are rather optimistic, especially that the US Bureau of Indian Affairs informed them about an upcoming decision, however they still don’t know what the result will be.

The tribe is being represented by the successful lawyer, Arlinda Locklear. The attorney said that it was a sign of progress that the Bureau still works on the case and still regard it as priority. She said that this fact gives them lots of hope and it is a good sign, however they still do not know what the decision will be.

The parcel where the Indian tribe plans on building the casino resort is occupied by an industrial park now. Tauton Mayor Tom Hoye believes that if his town got a new tribal casino resort, that would result in “a great economic boost” for his area. Meanwhile tribal chairman Cedric Cromwell said that they have always been confident about their prospects and are waiting for positive answers.

Online gambling news in the United States report that the US Department of the Interior has given a 30-day comment period on the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe’s casino project. They submitted their application back in the beginning of 2013. Tribal chairman Cedric Cromwell said it was a positive sign that the plan is moving forward and the case is still not closed down.

The Taunton office park is near the junction of routes 140 and 24. That is where the tribe wishes to build their new tribal casino resort. The Mashpee tribe has applied for the land-in-trust project of the government and their application is still being processed. They have started planning in 2012 and their idea was taken positively.

In the beginning the federal government has taken the project with lots of scepticism and doubts. That is, because they believed that a gaming agreement between the tribe and the state was not such a great idea. They were not sure if the project would be approved by the Gaming Commission.

The tribe received a letter on Friday, 21 August that they will get the final answer within 30 days. The Bureau of Indian Affairs is expected to issue a reservation proclamation, however they would do that only in case of their initial reservation was granted by the government, said Arlinda Locklear, tribal lawyer.

Cape Cod Times: Tribe’s land decision imminent

 
Estele Borges, Tauton City Council President, has received a letter on 21 August from the federal Department of the Interior. In this letter they were explained that the decision is imminent and they will receive a final answer to their 500 million dollar tribal casino resort project within the next 30 days.

Taunton city officials have not commented on the letter or the process of the tribal casino resort project so far. Meanwhile, Rodney Collins, Town Manager of Mashpee, has said that he has not received any official notification. Collins added that they are still waiting and hoping for it to arrive soon.

Gambling law news report that the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe aims to receive an area of 171 acres in Mashpee, and 152 acres in Taunton. Cedric Cromwell, tribal chairman, has said that it was a surprise to receive the letter to Taunton. Of course it made them really excited even though it is still not a positive closure.

Indian tribes are given permission to offer the same types of gambling where casinos are legalized, thanks to the federal laws. However, state agencies are unlikely to regulate tribal casino. That is more of a job for the National Indian Gaming Commission.

That transfer will not happen though, as Illarra has already decided to return to his previous team. Real Sociedad paid around EUR 16 million for the for capture their former star.

Meanwhile, according to several reports on gambling blogs, Manchester United was ready to make some shocking transfer surprises by trying to sign Barcelona’s star player, Neymar Jr. However the Brazilian is unlikely to leave the Catalan side. In fact, he is close to extending his contract, which will make the 23-year-old the second best paid Barca player – just behind Messi.

As the Neymar business failed from their part, Manchester United is likely to want to improve their defensive line. Hence, they aim to sign John Stones from Everton, and they would also be willing to give Phil Jones as part of the deal. However, the transfer becomes more complicated as Chelsea are also interested in signing the 21-year-old Englishman.

The new season of Liga BBVA kicked off on Friday, 21 August with an Andalusian derby between Malaga and Sevilla. The match ended in a goalless draw and it is pretty much all that you need to know about this uneventful game. The most memorable occurrence is the red card which was given to Sevilla’sN’Zonzi in the 69th minute, which says all about the clash.

Saturday’s games were not much more exciting in the Primera Division. 4 matches were held on this day, and two of them (Deportivo La Coruna vs Real Sociedad and RayoVallecanovs Valencia) ended in a goalless draw, while the remaining two matches (Espanyolvs Getafe and Atletico Madrid vs UD Las Palmas) brought only one-one goal, giving 3-3 points to Espanyol and Atletico.

The home team played with only 10 men from the 5th minute, due to Simao’s red card, which madeLevante’swish to win basically impossible.

Eibar are the only team who scored more than 2 goals so far, and they are leading the championship, however, that will probably not last too long.

Gambling Result’s Serie A preview expects Juventus retaining the title again.

There were some big changes in Italian football this summer. Many players left the peninsula, and many fresh faces have arrived. The top clubs were able to spend some serious amounts of cash on new acquisitions. Reigning champions and Champions League runners-up Juventus were seriously hurt by the changes. They have lost three key players.

ESPNFC.com: Serie A: Five key questions to determine how the season will unfold

 
After years of decline, Italian clubs were able to spend some considerable cash this summer. Juventus, AC Milan, Inter and AS Roma together spent EUR 392 million on new players. This is almost three times the figure they invested last summer. The new arrivals should bring more excitement to the league. Any Serie A preview expects the competition to be fiercer this year.

The most expensive footballers in calcio were Paulo Dybala, Geoffrey Kondogbia and Carlos Bacca this transfer window. All of them costed more than EUR 30 million and the spending is far from over actually. Julian Draxler of Schalke 04 and Zlatan Ibrahimovic of Paris Saint-Germain might also sign for an Italian team this summer, gambling news report.

However, three star players left Serie A. Andrea Pirlo went to New York, Carlos Tevez returned to Boca and Arturo Vidal signed for Bayern. The exodus of the trio weakened Juventus. Therefore it is no surprise that experts of gambling facts think that the Old Lady won’t have another smooth campaign this time.

Xherdan Shaqiri and Mateo Kovacic both left Italy recently, and another asset departed earlier when Manchester United acquired Matteo Darmian. The Italian teams brought in some considerable talent though. Edin Dzeko and Mohamed Salah have signed for Roma, and Stevan Jovetic went to Inter. However, retaining Paul Pogba by Juventus or Gonzalo Higuain by Napoli seems to be equally important.

With this newly set power relations, emphasized by almost every Serie A preview, the Italian championship could be much more competitive and thrilling than it was in recent years. Juventus might still be 1.44 (4/9) favourites to win the Scudetto according to BetVictor, but the rivals will be much closer this time.

Football-Italia.net: Serie A 2015-16 season preview

 
Football Italia’s Serie A preview also expects Juventus to retain the title. The Zebras will be significantly weaker than they were last year. However, they might still dominate Italian football. Roma are expected to be their number one challengers according to many of those, who follow live sports results. BetVictor priced their title at 7.00 (6/1), and looking at their new acquisitions, placing a wager on them is tempting.

The Serie A preview considers Napoli to be another challenger. Their possible victory worth 10.00 (9/1), which is reasonable for a top team coming off from a troublesome season. Internazionale could have a shot at Champions League football as well. Their top 3 finish is available for 2.63 (13/8) at BetVictor. They expected to be in a desperate fight with Napoli. After the major changes this summer, this duel could go either way for the Nerazzurri.

Some pundits and fans expect that AC Milan will be in title contention in the spring. However BetVictor handed them the exact same odds for European football as well as for the Scudetto (13.00; 12/1), as they gave to Inter. Former Inter player and current AC Milan manager Sinisa Mihajlovic can cause some surprises however. AC Milan are also toying with the idea of bringing Zlatan Ibrahimovic back to the Serie A. Looking at Ibra’s resume, his arrival would almost guarantee the championship title. Ibrahimovic returning to AC Milan is available for wagering with odds of 2.50 (6/4) at BetVictor.

Lazio is expected to fight for European football, according to Football Italia’s Serie A preview. They could top the middle of the field hands-in-hands with Fiorentina. The Roma-based outfit had a heroic season that saw them returning to Champions League. However, the pressure of the strongest European club competition might have a negative effect on their league campaign. Fiorentina have replaced Vincenzo Montella with former Juventus midfielder Paulo Sousa. This could equally mean that there are some surprise sports scores in the making, or nothing else just mediocrity.

Betsafe chose an extraordinary way to gain the attraction of online betting players. They launched the “No Bullshit Betting” campaign, confronting the audience that online gamblers are no more than losers. Meanwhile they will actually secure themselves a luxury lifestyle from the players losses.

The debut spot of the No Bullshit campaign alerts the players that the odds are against them. The operator always wins on the long. Still, if they are brave enough, they will place a wager. The ad virtually challenges the players instead of charming them with online gambling bonuses and dreams about luxury jackpots and a superstar way of life.

The spot pictures an apparently successful female gambling boss. She wanders between all kind of players each watching a football game nervously. They might win or loose, but the bank always wins, she suggests calmly and provokingly. She actually calls out for a challenge, saying “Odds are you don’t have what it takes to beat us in the long run … Go ahead. Prove us wrong.”

CP+B Scandinavia started a  “No Bullshit Betting” campaign for Betsafe, online mobile news report. In the debut ad of the Malta-licensed gambling firm the audience is reminded the fact that the betting operator always wins on the long.

The spot is dominated by a fictional female gambling boss, who addresses the viewers in a provoking way. “Life is all about the challenge,” she says. “I mean, who celebrates the status quo? I certainly don’t. And I’ve turned that mindset into a means of making a living, a good living, at your expense.”

Our protagonist is walking in a room full of bettors, either celebrating their wins or crying over their losses. But she remarks that whatever the players achieves, the odds are always on the operator’s side. She says, “When you lose, we win. When you win, well, in some ways we still win.”

In the end she calls out the players to bet on Betsafe, but in an uncommon way. She suggests that the players might not have the guts to place a wager. Jeremy Taylor, managing director of Betsafe commented the new campaign in a statement. He emphasizes that they targeted the smarter users with the No Bullshit Betting campaign. “Ultimate players and thrill seekers… are incredibly tired of being patronized. Our customers are not stupid and I think they deserve the honesty that we give them with this new campaign.”

Raheem Sterling might exploit the Blues’ lack of full-backs in the Man City vs Chelsea game on Sunday.

The two teams expected to be involved in a title race will meet on Sunday. The most waited game of the Premier League’s second round will be the Man City vs Chelsea clash. Chelsea news were dominated by Jose Mourinho’s row with team doctor Eva Caneiro. All this secured an opportunity for the Special One to avert the attention from his workshop. Somewhere in a dark room a master plan for the Man City vs Chelsea game was being drafted.

Since Chelsea has only one natural full-back, the Blues’ defence might need some tinkering. The lack of quick, mobile defenders might forecast a big game for the hosts’ attackers like Sergio Aguero or Raheem Sterling. However, fans of live sports results expect Mourinho to cope with the lack of speed in his defence through organization and team effort in the Man City vs Chelsea game. Man City are 2.05 (21/20) favourites according to Bet365. Draw is available at 3.40 (12/5), while Chelsea’s success is priced at 3.50 (5/2).

The Guardian.com: Manchester City’s Raheem Sterling: Chelsea meeting vital to title hopes

 
The Sky Blues’ marquee signing from the summer, Raheem Sterling thinks that the Man City vs Chelsea weekend match will be vital for their campaign. Manuel Pellegrini’s team had a promising start on Monday against West Bromwich Albion. However, they will play arguably their toughest game of the season on Sunday aganist Jose Mourinho’s side.

Sterling said, “I’m hoping this one will go our way and it’s vital that it does. We’re on our own ground and with it being our first home game of the season, we want to get off on the right foot. I’ve done alright against them in the past and results-wise, I think it’s been pretty even overall so far in the matches I’ve played in. Chelsea are very strong in every department from their defence and midfield to their attack, but it should be a good game and I’m really looking forward to playing in this match.”

The former Liverpool forward, who cost GBP 49 million, as it was all over in the sports scores news this summer, expects a close battle. Sterling doubts that any team could be able this term to wrap up the league as quickly as Chelsea did last season. He argued, “It’s going to be a really tough season. Everyone has strengthened their squads and the Premier League is always hard to second guess.”

Sterling admitted in the build-up to the Man City vs Chelsea match that he has set some targets for himself ahead of the campaign. However, he doesn’t want to make them public to avoid extra pressure. He said, “The only promise I will make is that I will try my best at all times – I will aim to create and score as many goals as I can for the team and work really hard every week.”

He added, “I’ve set myself targets for goals and assists and I know where I want to be but I don’t really want to reveal what they are because I’ll put myself under massive pressure – but I’ve got personal goals that I want to reach this season for City and hopefully I can meet them.” Sterling is 3.50 (5/2) to score anytime in the Man City vs Chelsea match at Bet365. An unlikely but fabulous Sterling brace is available at 19.00 (18/1).

ESPNFC.com: Chelsea’s Kurt Zouma happy to fill in at left-back

 
Apart from the suspended Thibaut Courtois, Jose Mourinho has a full squad before the Man City vs Chelsea clash, gambling news report. However, his squad is relatively short on defenders. To cope with the lightning-quick attackers of the Sky Bluese, the Portuguese might have to shuffle his cards a bit. Having only one true full-back, he might need to deploy Kurt Zouma in that position at some stage of the match.

Mourinho is without a natural left back after Brazilian Filipe Luis returned to Atletico Madrid. Hence his first choice number three is Cesar Azpilicueta, originally a right back. On the right side of the defense plays Branislav Ivanovic. The Serb is a natural central defender, but excelled at full-back in the past. However, he might have problems against an extremely rapid forward like Sterling. Therefore experts of gambling facts suggest a possible shake-up in the Blues’ backline before the Man City vs Chelsea match.

Zouma is originally a centre-back. However Mourinho used the Frenchman at right-back and at midfield as well already. In the Community Shield, he appeared as a left-back after replacing Azpilicueta. According to a possible scenario, Mourinho might field the more agile Spaniard on the right to deal with Sterling. So that Zouma could take his place on the left in the weekend’s Man City vs Chelsea game.

Zouma commented the speculations revealing, he doesn’t have a problem with the left back position. He said, “Because I’m right-footed I have never played at left-back. It was different for me positionally so I had to learn quickly and adapt to it. It’s really not a problem because the boss needed me in that position and I have to give everything for the team. We all have to think about the team first of all so I always do that.”

He added, “They were good experiences for me because I played the games and I always want to be on the pitch enjoying myself and helping the team. I’m feeling very well. I had some opportunities to play in preseason and play in some good games. Now the Premier League has started we are just focused on the next game. We are looking forward to it.”

He concluded, “It’s a chance early in the season to show why we are champions. We want to defend our title. The season after a very good season is always hard but we have to show we are ready to try and do it.” Sergio Aguero scoring two-goals against the makeshift, but capable Blues defense in the Man City vs Chelsea clash is available with odds of 6.5 (11/2) at Bet365. A clean sheet from the visitors is priced at 4.00 (3/1).

Jose Mourinho was heavily criticized after the Portuguese manager threatened Chelsea doctor Eva Carneiro with loosing her matchday job.

The controversy erupted after the Chelsea medical staff entered the field to treat Eden Hazard in the last minutes of Chelsea’s season opener against Swansea. Hazard had to leave the pitch due to the treatment. Since Thibaut Courtois was sent off earlier, Chelsea was left with eight outfield players temporarily. Mourinho argued that Hazard wasn’t injured, just needed a rest. He also mentioned that the medical staff have to understand football. The Special One planned to expel the Chelsea doctor from the bench for matches.

However, he was heavily attacked by other sport physicians. They insisted that Chelsea doctor Carneiro displayed a proper approach, since the medics were called from the pitch. The match ended 2-2. After the disappointing result gambling blogs speculated that it was nothing more than Mourinho’s frustration erupted. Maybe he also wanted to use the controversy to avoid his team’s display to be criticized. Gambling news reported that Chelsea’s odds to retain the Premier League title fell back slightly. Now they are top underdogs according to Bet365, available at 3.00 (2/1).

TheGuardian.com: Eva Carneiro: medics rally to demoted Chelsea doctor after Mourinho row

Major sports physicians defended Chelsea doctor Eva Carneiro. Their support came after Jose Mourinho revealed that he intended to drop her from the matchday staff. Carneiro learned on Tuesday that she won’t be on the Chelsea bench at games anymore. The sanctioning came after he and team physio Jon Fearn entered the pitch to treat Eden Hazard in the last minutes of Chelsea’s weekend draw against Swansea.

Mourinho said after the final whistle, “I was unhappy with my medical staff. They were impulsive and naive. Whether you are a kit man, doctor or secretary on the bench, you have to understand the game.” However, there is video evidence that the referee called the Chelsea doctors after the Belgian player went down, seemingly injured.

Recognized sports physician Peter Brukner was disappointed with Mourinho’s actions, online mobile news report. He said, “I thought it was appalling behaviour by the manager. He has a player who has gone down, who has remained down and the referee obviously considered it serious enough to summon on the doctor and the physio.”

He added, “They went on as they must do when they are summoned on and the player is down and, as a result, the player had to come off the ground. What do you expect the doctor to do? Just ignore the referee beckoning them on? The medical staff deserve a public apology and I’m very disappointed that the club hasn’t come out and done something to support them; they were just doing their job.”

Jose Mourinho criticized the Chelsea doctor for her actions in the title-holders’ draw against Swansea. That was followed by Eva Carneiro thanking the support of the public in a Facebook post. She wrote, “I would like to thank the general public for their overwhelming support. Really very much appreciated.”

According to Chelsea players however, this post was the real reason behind Mourinho banning the Chelsea doctor from the bench, sports scores news report. The Premier League Doctors’ Group reacted in a statement when learning about the sanctions towards Caneiro. They are concerned that results are more important in football than the players’ health.

The statement said, “The Premier League Doctor’s Group considers that removing Dr Eva Carneiro from the Chelsea team bench for their next match is unjust in the extreme. In the publicised incident in last Saturday’s game against Swansea, the Chelsea medical staff were clearly summoned on to the field of play by the match referee to attend to a player. A refusal to run onto the pitch would have breached the duty of care required of the medical team to their patient.”

It went on, “It is a huge concern that Dr Carneiro has been subjected to unprecedented media scrutiny and a change in her professional role, merely because she adhered to her code of professional conduct and did her job properly. Dr Carneiro has universal and total support from her medical colleagues at the Premier League Doctors Group. It is also of great concern that at a time when the both the Premier League and the Premier League Doctors group are intensifying efforts to safeguard player welfare, the precedent set by this incident demonstrates that the medical care of players appears to be secondary to the result of the game.”

Barcelona and Sevilla played a UEFA Super Cup final in Georgia that will stuck in our memories forever.

Tbilisi hosted a game on Tuesday night that will remain in the memories of sports scores followers for long. The UEFA Super Cup was special before it started.

Sevilla’s Argentine midfielder Ever Banega opened the scoring with a beautiful free-kick in the third minute. Marc-Andre ter Stegen had no chance. This was the fastest goal in a UEFA Super Cup final.

Then he smashed in another free-kick to the near corner from much further, stunning many of those, who follow live sports results.

Barcelona added two more through Rafinha and Luis Suarez, so it was 4-1 in the 52nd minute. The game seemed to be settled, so Barca slowed down. But it was far from over, as Unai Emery’s side had the determination and the energy to come back. Jose Antonio Reyes and Kevin Gameiro both scored to make it 4-3 with 20 minutes to go. After both were substituted, their double’s equalized, as Ciro Immobile set up a goal for Yevhen Konoplyanka.

Emery thinks that Barca’s Lionel Messi had a major role in the victory. The Argentine scored two goals from free-kicks, while Pedro hit the winner after another Messi shot. Emery said, “I want to congratulate Lionel Messi too – his ability to play at the highest level with Barcelona and their consistency is what wins them trophies. There’s a huge amount of teamwork behind it. Everyone has their role so that he can make the difference. Can we stop him next time? We’ll try.”

He added, “I do not know if the result is fair, but with the chances we had, I am left with honey on the lips. If there’s one thing we want to make this team, it is competitive. We want to go for victory whatever the circumstances. If you can reach the Super Cup and Champions League then you have to compete with these teams and see how far you can go. We lost but we were competitive throughout and we are very proud of our team. The worst thing would have been not to have recognised the Sevilla we want to see.”

Another arrest for driving under influence saw Aldon Smith released by the San Francisco 49ers. This was the star linebacker’s fifth arrest in three years.

San Francisco 49ers defender Aldon Smith was arrested on Thursday for suspected hit and run and driving under the influence. He was bailed out, but the next day came the news reporting Aldon Smith released by the 49ers. We knew that the San Francisco NFL franchise has some problems. They replaced head coach Jim Harbaugh with Jim Tonsula after last season, and also had a bunch of key players departing or retiring. They are outsiders to win the NFC West with odds of 11.00 (10/1) at Bet365.

But now we also know that Aldon Smith also has serious problems. With a history like his, it will be enormously hard to find a way back to the NFL. He has to fix his life first. But before that, he has to acknowledge that he has a problem and he needs help.

New San Francisco head coach Jim Tomsula commented the move that saw Aldon Smith released from the 49ers organization in a press conference. Star linebacker Smith was arrested on Thursday, gambling news reported. Smith had a meeting with the head coach and general manager Trent Baalke before they made the call.

Tomsula said, “I think you’re all aware, the San Francisco 49ers released Aldon Smith today. It’s a sad day. This is a day that doesn’t have anything to do with football. Although he won’t will be playing football for the San Francisco 49ers, he will be supported, and he will be helped.”

He added, “He won’t have to walk this path alone. “We’re not worried about football. It has nothing to do with football. If one person out there reads this, and you’re struggling, get help. Go get it. You’re worth it. There’s a value in every human being. Get the help. You don’t have to walk alone.”

Tomsula also spoke about the locker room’s reaction to the news reported Smith’s arrest. He said, “It was sadness, that’s what it was, sadness for a guy, a person. We care about that guy. Deeply.”

The news about Aldon Smith released by San Francisco came hardly a surprise for those who follow NFL gambling facts. Smith registered five of the 49ers’ 12 arrests in the last three years. He also refused to claim responsibility for his troubles. It seems that though he might be an amazingly talented young player, he is unfortunately not capable of pulling his life together.

He also denied that he made a mistake on Thursday after his latest arrest came. And speaking with the team, he denied that he was responsible for his off the field problems. Maybe this was what got Aldon Smith released by the 49ers. He had had his chances, yet failed to improve his behavior or to ask for help. The franchise did what they had to do.

New 49ers coach Jim Tonsula insisted that he and the organization will be there to help Smith. But first of all, Smith has to acknowledge that he needs help. Without doing that and working for his life to be fixed, there is no way back to the NFL. Aldon Smith released by the 49ers – out of the NFL for good, perhaps.

Manchester City rewarded Manuel Pellegrini’s work with a new contract. The new deal ties the Chilean manager to Etihad Stadium until the end of the 2016-17 Premier League season.

It was speculated by many pundits, supporters and gambling blogs that City’s Chilean manager is no more than a benchwarmer until Pep Guardiola becomes available. However, Manchester City ended, or at least postponed all this with a Manuel Pellegrini contract extension. The new deal will run out at the end of the 2016-17 Premier League season as opposed to his previous one which was due to expire next summer. Will the Pellegrini contract give City the distraction-free base they’ll need?

Pellegrini’s job was reportedly under threat after his team produced a poor second half in last year’s Premier League season. That run ended without a trophy, and this is always a possible motivation for change at Etihad Stadium. However, Pellegrini, who revealed this offseason, that he needed a new Lionel Messi, got Raheem Sterling to take on next year’s campaign. Man City are 1.67 (4/6) favourites at West Brom in their first league game this season on Monday night. Gambling news reported that Sterling is 2.75 (7/4) to score at Bet365.

Manchester City announced that Manuel Pellegrini signed a new, two-year contract with the club. His previous deal was due to run out at the end of the 2015-16 Premier League season. The news about the Manuel Pellegrini contract extension can come as a surprise to many, who follow sports scores.

It was speculated long that City wanted to acquire the services of ex-Barcelona and current Bayern Munich boss, Pep Guardiola. Former AC Milan, Chelsea and Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti and Jurgen Klopp, who recently left Dortmund were also mentioned in the media as possible replacements for Pellegrini. Answering a question regarding that, Pellegrini said,“I am not talking about Pep Guardiola, he is a manager that every team will want to manage because he is a great manager.”

He added, “I have no problem with my relations inside the club. I know exactly how the owners think. I was used last season to the speculation. Carlo Ancelotti had a contract signed and Jurgen Klopp had also a contract. For me, the owners are happy with the way I am working. Me, I am also happy at this club. It is impossible to know about the future.”

The Pellegrini contract also covered his lieutenants, assistant manager Ruben Cousillas, goalkeeping coach Xabier Mancisidor and fitness coach Jose Cabello. His commissions have also been extended by the Sky Blues. Pellegrini commented the set of new contracts happily. He expressed, “The contract shows the club trusts in my work”.

It seems unlikely that Pep Guardiola is joining Manchester City next summer, as the club announced a Manuel Pellegrini contract extension, online mobile news report.

After a trophyless second season however his future was questioned. His previous contract was to run out next summer, but he signed a new, two-year deal.

Pellegrini said, “I am proud to manage Manchester City and am therefore very pleased to have agreed this contract. I have a very good quality group of players and a great team of people to work with on and off the field and at all levels of the club. I am focused on the coming season and confident that my team and I will respond to the constant support shown to us by everyone including of course our fantastic fans.”

The Manuel Pellegrini contract extension was also commented by Manchester City’s CEO, Ferran Soriano, who previously worked with Pep Guardiola at FC Barcelona. According to Soriano, the Sky Blues gave the new deal to the 61-year-old because the team improved significantly under his supervision.

Soriano said, “We are delighted to reach this agreement with Manuel Pellegrini, who has already contributed so much to the development of Manchester City in his first two years with us and we look forward to further progress in the seasons ahead. This agreement allows Manuel to focus on the challenge of guiding a team capable of both fighting for domestic titles and competing for European honours.”

The Wenger vs Mourinho feud is not letting up.

The Community Shield is hardly more than a well-covered friendly. Many of those preparing for the game were the most excited about the meeting of Arsene Wenger and Jose Mourinho next to the sideline. Rather than the game itself.. Well, the two of them behaved well during the game this time. However, after the ceremony the Frenchman just avoided the Portuguese instead of shaking hands with him.

The Wenger vs Mourinho conflict is something that can add more spice to the Premier League title run. Especially if Arsenal, through performances like this one on Sunday, can produce a campaign that will see them fighting for the title.

FA Cup winners Arsenal won the Community Shield against Premier League champions Chelsea, gambling news report. The beautiful goal of Alex Oxlade-Champerlain was the difference between the two sides on Sunday. It was the first time ever that the Wenger vs Mourinho duel was won by the Frenchman.

Arsenal started the way they were playing in recent weeks. They looked sharp at the beginning, as many of those who follow latest gambling news expected. However, as Chelsea, fighting for the equalizer, raised the pace of the game, they had to defend. The Gunners performed attractive attacking play that seems to work even against sides with the quality of the Blues.

Oxlade-Chamberlain had a convincing day, winning his overall battle against his marker, Cesar Azpilicueta. The whole Arsenal team was well-organized in defense, protecting the lead effectively. If they can do this against their biggest rivals in the league season, they might have a shot at the title.

This kind of hostile rivalry between title contenders is something that was missing from the English top-tier recently. Watching the game on Sunday suggest that the two will provide this, and Arsenal might have the potential to go for the title this year.

Arsene Wenger and Jose Mourinho just cannot stand each other it seems. When facing the other, they tend to behave childishly. That is a feature that appeared only in the last couple of years, though they met 14 times already. Yet this was the first occasion when the Frenchman was able to beat Mourinho’s Chelsea, as keen followers of live sports results probably know.

Arsenal now produced a performance that was similar to those that earned them a 2-0 away victory against then title-defenders Manchester City in February. That match indicated that the Gunners might become serious title challengers; however they weren’t able to maintain their form in the spring.

The Michel Platini FIFA President run was launched officially as the UEFA leader confirmed that he will run for Sepp Blatter’s position.

The FIFA presidency will soon be vacated, as many who follow sports scores count the days. After Platini revealed his desire to lead international football’s governing body, he is considered as the favorite to win the next election, gambling news report. Platini is 1.53 (8/15) top dog at Bet365, while his major challenger, Prince Ali Al-Hussein’s victory is priced at 4.00 (3/1).

Dailyrecord.co.uk: Ronny Deila says Celtic must ‘step it up’ to keep Champions League dream on track

 
Norwegian boss Ronny Deila expressed that the best European performance is needed from Celtic to beat Quarabag. The Celts are facing the Azeri side in the third round of the UEFA Champions League qualifiers. Deila insists that Celtic will need their best form to reach the play-off round against the tricky opposition from Baku.

We know we are good enough. But we have to be at our best and at least we are at home first. That will be an important game.”

The 26-year-old said, “Qarabag have a few Brazilians and a Spanish guy and it’s difficult to say what they’ll be like because I haven’t seen enough of them. But their national team played with fight, they played hard. It’s never easy to go there. The national team played very physically and it was a tough game for us but I think we can get a good result.”

He pointed out that Baku will be a tricky venue to play. Celtic chances are good, but it won’t be smooth. He expressed, “It’s always tough, especially in Europe, to go away and play, but I’m confident we can go there and get a good result. Home is where we need to build the result. We had a 2-0 win to go away with last week to Stjarnan and you always know if you get the away goal then it’s more or less secure.”

Dailymail.co.uk: Champions League prestige more important than £20million qualification windfall, insists Celtic manager Ronny Deila

 
Ronny Deila said that the prestige of reaching the group stages of the Champions League is far more important for him and his players than the GBP 20 million it would bring to Celtic. The Norwegian manager would like to use the benefits of reaching the group stage to cement the Hoops’ place in sports scores news as Champions League regulars.

Deila said, “It is the same as with the players – you don’t get money out of thinking always about money. You have to love the game and you have to love to train, and then the money will come. This is what I say to my players. If you want to think always about wanting to be rich, you won’t get it. You have to be the best in something – and that is how it is in football.”

Discussing Celtic chances he added, “It is about what happens on the pitch, it is about everything. The money is nothing compared with the experience – but when you do well everything gets higher. So yes, the prestige is more priceless than the money – but there are positives in the second one, as well. It helps the club get more secure and we can build even more.”
