Getting winger Nicolas Milanovic from A-League outfit Western Sydney Wanderers for less than £400,000 is a good deal for Aberdeen, say Australian pundits.
One of the biggest criticisms the Kansas City Chiefs have received over the past few years has been the talent level in the wide receiver room. Injuries haven’t helped their case either, as Rashee Rice and Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown were both taken down by injuries in 2024.
Still, the Chiefs have not done a great job at surrounding Patrick Mahomes with pass-catching talent, especially after trading away Tyreek Hill.
Everyone seemingly has something to say to or about Bo Nickal following his humbling loss to Reinier de Ridder at UFC Des Moines on May 3. In case you missed it, Nickal lost via second-round TKO to RDR after a series of nasty knees to the midsection. Because Nickal was so hyped and since the American was never seemingly short on confidence (bordering arrogance in the eyes of some), many people took some satisfaction in seeing him lose.
Reigning UFC middleweight champion, Dricus du Plessis was one of those people and he sent a message to Nickal on the SIAS podcast.
It is Manchester United against Athletic Bilbao. Although, in some respects, it is Manchester United against Manchester United, with Ruben Amorim unsure which United will turn up and, indeed, if the side who start a game will finish it.

The final stone in Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer’s offensive gauntlet has been placed – they got a genuine No. 2 receiver.
Seen as the final piece to an offseason puzzle that has been one of the better ones in recent memory, the Cowboys bring in Pittsburgh Steelers receiver George Pickens, who could easily be seen as a No.1 B receiver alongside CeeDee Lamb.
It was the most glaring issue yet to be rectified, and owner Jerry Jones’ “substantive” trade talks a couple of weeks ago were nothing but truth.
On a night when Arsenal couldn’t do enough, there were more of those moments when Mikel Arteta doesn’t help himself.
Paris Saint-Germain had beaten Arsenal 3-1 on aggregate, to only extend this feeling that they are Europe’s most exciting – and probably best – side. Despite that, Arteta came out with the following.
“I don’t think there’s been a better team in the competition”, before saying that was “especially across 160 minutes” of the semi-final.
Many believe the Arizona Cardinals got one of the biggest steals of the 2025 NFL draft when they selected cornerback Will Johnson in the second round with the 47th overall pick. He was projected as a first-round pick, even as highas in the top 10, but fell all the way to the second round.
