I’ve been telling guys about it here, it was a rebound opportunity, that’s really what it is,” Patrick told The Post. “I was just in there talking to someone in the steam room and I was just telling him, ‘Bro, I remember my first couple of years in the (NFL) playing and then getting cut...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:24:20 GMT

LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — Manchester City is one win away from a third straight Premier League title and a fifth in six seasons under Pep Guardiola.English soccer’s dominant force was tested by a new rival in the form of Arsenal, but Mikel Arteta’s team has buckled under the pressure of trying to keep pace with Guardiola’s relentless trophy-winning machine. While the race is not over yet, it would take a remarkable collapse for City to throw it away now. “We have to apologize to our people, especially for the second half,” Arteta said after his team’s 3-0 loss to Brighton at Emirates Stadium on Sunday.It was the fifth time in seven games that Arsenal has dropped points in the closing weeks of the season.By comparison, City’s 3-0 win against Everton earlier in the day extended its unbeaten run to 21 games in all competitions, including 11 straight wins in the league. City has been near-perfect, while Arsenal’s challenge has melted in the heat of th...
