Van Dijk 'really good' but Conte avoids talk of Chelsea interest
- December 17, 2017
The Reds are one of a number of clubs understood to still be monitoring Van Dijk and, while Pellegrino is hopeful of keeping his "best player" at the club, he admitted that the situation is ultimately out of his control. "As you know very well, I don't like to talk about other players of the other team", Conte told reporters at a news conference.

Lemieux strips bare to make the minimize for Saunders struggle
- December 17, 2017
The WBO middleweight title fight tonight at the Bell Center in Laval, Quebec, Canada, was a rare specimen, a true "pick-'em" contest on the books of United Kingdom bookmakers. A southpaw and counter-puncher, Saunders is notorious for his trash-talking and his willingness to try to win on points. Lemieux, meanwhile, claimed to have injured his left hand in the second round, but lacked humility - and indeed a grasp on reality - when he refused to credit Saunders for his victory. (more...)

The linesman had spotted the ball had gone in off the youngster's arm, capping a frustrating night which saw Liverpool drop two points at home for the second time in four days, meaning they could not regain their top-four spot. He added: "We'll make this clear, I'm going to give you no clues about what I'm going to do". It is criticism and praise, it helps me a lot.
