The new Messi - watch out!

Thiago Messi - will he ever be as good as his father?
On the 2nd November 2012, a potential star was born. Lionel Messi, arguably one of the greatest footballers in history to grace the beautiful game, became a father. He gave birth to a baby boy named Thiago and much is expected of the son of the Argentine sensation, despite only being a month old. Clubs have already raced for his signature with Newell's Old Boys already making Thiago an official club supporter, increasing their chances that he will be involved in their youth set up. There has also been a major dispute whether the potential star will appear for Spain or Argentina. Having been born in Spain, Thiago will have a decision to make whether he will represent the country of his birth or the nation of his father. With Lionel firmly connected to Barcelona for the unforeseeable future, if Thiago does emulate the success of his father, or even becomes half the player he is, he will have a big decision to make regarding what country he chooses to represent.

But obviously these are based on whether Thiago can come anywhere near to emulating the extraordinary achievements of his father. Even if the new born Messi inherits a minority of his father’s talent, I am sure we will witness him honing his skills on a world stage in the future. Luckily for us, Lionel is still 24 and still has the world at his feet. At the time of writing he has scored an incredible 281 goals in 350 appearances and this number is only going to rise considering he hasn't even reached 25. But when Lionel retires, and arguably one of the greatest players ever in existence hangs up his boots, all eyes will be on Thiago Messi; the next potential world beater. He's only 1 month old, but in 20 years time, we may be watching with awe as the new Messi dazzles the world with mind boggling skill inherited by his father. Maybe.

Eastleigh 6-4 CPR All Stars

This afternoon, CPR, a team who have only played 4 games together to date, came up against an academy side who train day in, day out, week in, week out. Eastleigh, a team who's first team play in the 6th tier of English football, were the opponents for the second round of the Hampshire county cup, and on paper; were expected to smash us. The team lined up as follows: GK: Kevany LB: Barby CB: Hastings CB: Ross RB: Marsh CM: Rolt CM: Adolphous LM: Finlay RM: Stroud CF: Rice ST : McMillan Subs: Parslow, Honeywood, Nott, Dunnage The only absentee for the big game was Lloyd-Bisley, who has been ruled out for around 6 weeks with a broken foot. But his absence was covered by the returning Dunnage, who had shaken off a groin injury, and Honeywood, who was also making his first appearance since his move from Nottingham . Curley Park would've been forgiven for sitting back and absorbing pressure, but they got off to an electrifying start to break the deadlock after only 2 m...

BMW PGA Championship Betting Tips Last year's champion, Chris Wood *Odds provided by Sky Bet Fransesco Molinari - 14/1:  The Italian recorded four straight top nine finishes in Virginia Water between 2012 - 2015, before a T55 finish last year snapped that streak. He has been in great form recently which suggests he could record another high finish this week, having finished in a T6 at The Players Championship in his last start. Chris Wood - 33/1:  The defending champion should not be ruled out for winning the title two years in a row. In addition to his win here in 2016, he finished in a T4 in 2015 and a T21 in 2014. In his last solo start just over a month ago, he finished in a T4 at the Volvo China. At 33/1 he represents great value. Shane Lowry - 40/1:  Lowry was one of the favourites to lift the title last year, but crumbled on the first two days, leading to a disappointing missed cut. However, in the past five years before that, he had recorded...

Arsenal in talks to sell midfielder to Serie A club

Image
Lucas Torreira's time at Arsenal looks as if it is coming to an end. The Uruguayan signed for the Gunners in 2018 in a £26m move from Sampdoria. He quickly became a fan-favourite with some combative performances in the middle of the park. However, he failed to build on his promising start and was only used sparingly by Mikel Arteta at the back end of the 2019/20 season. And now, acording to Sky Sports , the Spanish manager is looking to cash in on the 24-year-old. Arsenal are reportedly in talks with Torino over a season long loan move for Torreira. The Serie A club would then have the option to make the move permanent. Torino would pay Arsenal £22m over two instalments. Fiorentina are also believed to be interested in his services. The funds acquired for selling Torreira could then go to signing a replacement. Arsenal have been linked with Atletico's Thomas Partey in the last few months. Atletico will only let the Ghanaian leave if Arsenal activate his £45m release clause. It ...
