Former Swansea loanee Brendan Rodgers wanted a reunion with at Anfield
insists he's not kicking himself over choosing Spurs instead
To err is to do? SIgurdsson could be fighting for the title now if he'd picked Liverpool over Spurs
Tottenham midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson insists he has no regrets about rejecting a move to Liverpool. Brendan
Rodgers, who had the Icelandic international on loan at Swansea three
years ago, wanted to work with him again at Anfield, and made a move in the summer of 2012. Sigurdsson, however, was convinced Tottenham were the better bet and opted for a move to the north Londoners from Germany's Hoffenheim. Liverpool, then a side in transition, are now set for Champions League football next season and are challenging for the title. Spurs,
by contrast, sold Gareth Bale last summer, sacked Andre Villas-Boas in
December, have his replacement Tim Sherwood under pressure from fans and
are set to miss out on the top four for the second year running. Nothing less than an away win will do for them when the two teams meet at Anfield on Sunday. But, regardless of that result, Sigurdsson - who hit the late winner in last Sunday’s pulsating 3-2 victory over Southampton - maintains he made the right choice in snubbing the Reds. “At the time, I was really happy to come to Tottenham,” he said, “And I still am. “I’m
really enjoying it. It’s a fantastic club and in the last couple of
seasons we’ve shown the ambition to become better. Hopefully in the next
couple of years, it will be really good.

Loan star: Sigurdsson scored seven league goals in 18 games for Rodgers' Swansea
"Because they didn’t qualify for Europe, Liverpool are
playing one game a week and it’s benefited them quite a bit, because
they’re fresh and ready to go in every game.” Everton have leapfrogged Spurs to provide the biggest danger to faltering, fourth-placed Arsenal in the race for the top four. The
fifth-placed Toffees, still to entertain the Gunners at Goodison Park,
are six points behind them with a game in hand. Spurs have slipped to
sixth, seven points behind their arch-rivals with seven games remaining. Sigurdsson
admits Tottenham will have underachieved if they finish fifth for the
third time in four seasons, but is convinced they have the players in
the squad to punch their weight next season. Roberto Soldado,
Christian Eriksen and Nacer Chadli - three of the seven players drafted
in as part of the club’s well-documented £100million spending spree last
summer - have all impressed in their most recent games. Sigurdsson added: “It will be a disappointment if we don’t finish higher than fifth. "We
brought a lot of players in last summer and we know it’s going to take
time. It depends on some of the players coming in — some of them fit in
straight away, some need a few months or a season just to get used to
English football. That’s life. "If we can finish in the top four, it will be fantastic. “Would
continuity help us for next season? I don’t see why not. There are
fantastic players here and we have good staff all around. “If we
start next season well, then everything is possible. Most of the new
players will be in their second season so they will be used to English
football by then and they will have settled in.”
Tim Sherwood fancies bringing the young England centre-half who was sold
by predecessor Andre Villas-Boas in July back to White Hart Lane
Spurs are poised to pinch England defender Steven Caulker back from Cardiff if the Welsh side are relegated. The Londoners'
new boss Tim Sherwood is a big fan of the 22-year-old centre-back, who
was sold last summer by then-coach Andre Villas-Boas for £8million. It
was Sherwood, in his role developing the White Hart Lane club's young
players, who made the case for Caulker to be more heavily integrated
into the first team. He was deemed surplus to requirements, however, when AVB landed Romania international defender Vlad Chiriches from Steaua Bucharest. Caulker
made his Tottenham debut in 2010, and had loan spells at Yeovil,
Bristol City and Swansea to gain experience before making 28 appearances
- and his England debut - under Harry Redknapp in 2012-13. A near
ever-present for newly-promoted Cardiff under both Malky Mackay and his
successor as manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, he has also chipped in with
four goals but th Bluebirds are second-bottom with seven games to play.
Nollywood actor, Augustine Ejike Metu, popularly known as Methuselah,
has featured in so many stage and film productions, and has also made
tremendous contributions towards the growth of the industry.
He
acted ‘Rattle Snake,’ ‘Up to Rush,’ ‘Farewell to Babylon,’ ‘The Night
Fall’ and others. Though, there was no money in the movie industry in
those days, his joy is that he is rated among the fore-runners in
Nollywood.
In a recent interview, the ace actor now politician,
attributed his long lay-off due to some producers who took pictures of
actors to native doctors to know whether their faces will sell films.
‘As someone who is not diabolical, I was not comfortable with that. So I decided to step aside,’ he said.
According to him, producers were so greedy that that they want to release many films in a week.
‘At
a point producers became lords. They were so greedy and myopic that
they released 10 films in a week with the same faces. Infact, they
continued to repeat films. And being someone who is not too desperate in
the things of life, I did not need to lick the ass of the producers,'
he added.
Popular Nollywood actress Oge Okoye, is indeed one of those actress who
can stand heads high and boast of a good and happy home. Though it might
not be all rosy, but the saltry actress has been able to keep her
private family life from the public.
It would be recalled that
last year, for her hardwork and contributions to the growth and
development of Igbo land, the star actress, was being rewarded with a
chieftaincy title in Enugu State by one of the traditional rulers in the
state.
Oge Okoye is now the Igolo Nwanyi 1 of Amoli kingdom in Awgu local government area of Enugu State.
The
lovely actress, who was born in London and graduated from the Nnamdi
Azikiwe University with a degree in Theatre Arts, has been married for
7years now and she has every course to glorify God for all that has been
coming her way.
Recently, the actress displayed the pictures of her lovely kids which are signs of her lasting marital status.
Lionel messi is poised to become the world’s highest-paid player as Barcelona
look to ensure his long-term future is secure at the Nou Camp before he
heads off to play for Argentina
in the World
Cup.
Although Messi already has a contract that runs until 2018, his star status
means that he has been able to force Josep Maria Bartomeu, the new
president, to negotiate an improved deal just six months after those terms
were agreed.
Barcelona know the richest clubs in the world would all be willing to smash
their wage structure if it meant they could sign Messi, and Bartomeu cannot
risk losing him.
Messi wants to be paid more than Real
Madrid’s Cristiano
Ronaldo and Manchester
United’s Wayne
Rooney and is thought to be demanding a basic wage in excess of
£336,000 a week, while also keeping 100 per cent of his image rights.
“We all want Messi to be the best-paid player in the world and that is what we
are working on,” Bartomeu said.
Defending champion Serena Williams closed in on a seventh Sony Open
title with a 6-2 6-2 quarterfinal demolition of German Angelique Kerber
on Tuesday, a win that came as the Crandon Park tennis facility was
locked down due to a bomb scare.
Williams' win sets up a semifinal rematch of last year's final against
Maria Sharapova, a five-time runnerup on the Miami hardcourts, who
advanced with an equally impressive 7-5 6-1 win over eighth-seeded Czech
Petra Kvitova.
While Williams was shutting down fifth seed Kerber, Miami Dade police
were locking down the sprawling tennis complex after a suspicious
package was found at the main entrance.
Four lane traffic was halted in both directions in front of the complex
while spectators were prevented from entering or leaving the facility.
"Yeah, there was a bomb threat and a lockdown but that's all I know about it. Scary," said Williams.
Sharapova and Williams, who have both achieved a career grand slam and
held the No 1 ranking, were expected to develop into one of the great
rivalries in women's tennis.
But it has not quite worked out that way with Williams dominating the
series, winning 15-of-17 career meetings including the last 14.
The pair have clashed three times in Miami, Williams winning all three.
"It's no secret that she's been a big challenge of mine, an opponent
that obviously I would love to beat," said Sharapova, who has not beaten
Williams in almost a decade.
"There are certainly ways that I need to step up in certain situations that I haven't been able to do in the past against her.
"But it's great that I have come to that stage and have the opportunity to play her again."
Certainly Sharapova will have to be at her best as Williams' title defence has picked up steam with each match.
The world No 1 needed just 62 minutes to dispose of Kerber and has dropped one set on route to the final four.
"When you're playing champions, you have to play your best," said
Williams, looking ahead to her meeting with Sharapova. "She always plays
her best and her heart out against me.
"We just have to bring the best because we both are really good players.
We just both do the best we can when we try to play each other.
"I love playing her. I really do."
Sharapova, who has come up short in the Miami final each of the last
three years, dropped her opening serve to Kvitova but that would be the
only time in the entire match.
The fourth-seeded Russian took control with a break to get back on level
terms at 4-4 and then again to close out the first set. Sharapova then
dominated the second set, storming through the first five games before a
reeling Kvitova held her serve.
"I didn't have a good first few games, so I was happy that I was steady,
that I kept trying to do the right thing, kept trying to be
aggressive," said Sharapova. "I think that paid off as the match went on
because I made a few too many unforced errors in the beginning."
Only a international superstar/style icon like
Rihanna could pull off this t-shirt-as-a-dress and
coat-that-looks-like-a-dressing-gown combination. Not a look that we
think will catch on, sadly.
WOWSER! Leonardo DiCaprio, the Oscar nominated actor, has just brought a
new house. It has been reported that Leo paid £3.1 million for the
1.34-acre house in the Old Las Palmas area of Palm Springs. With six
bedrooms, it's the perfect family home. Or, in Leo's case, the perfect
party house.
Diego Maradona would like to watch how Pep Guardiola trains his Bayern
Munich team and said the freshly-crowned Bundesliga champions would be
unbeatable if they had Lionel Messi as well.
"I would like to work for a week with Guardiola to watch him in
training. I would be very happy to visit Bayern Munich," the former
Argentina star player and coach, Maradona, told Wednesday's edition of
German weekly Sport Bild.
The 53-year-old said that the Bundesliga has reached the same level as
the Spanish Liga and believes that Guardiola "sensed this development
early and is now utilising it at Bayern."
Munich won the treble last season and on Tuesday clinched the 2014
league title in record time with seven games to spare. Maradona singled
out Bayern and Germany captain Philipp Lahm, saying that he "makes the
difference." Maradona, whose national team coaching career ended after a 4-0
quarterfinal defeat against Germany at the 2010 World Cup, said the
Bayern team will be "perfect" once Polish striker Robert Lewandowski
arrives in the summer from Borussia dortmund
He added that only one player could top that up, compatriot Messi, whom
Guardiola coached during his term at Barcelona, in an all-but-unlikely
scenario of going to Munich as well. "Lewandowski and Messi? Then
everyone else would play for second place. In every competition, in
every league," he said.
"And if Bayern buy Messi I will become Guardiola's assistant coach."
