We go again.
The phrase has become an omnipresent, short-hand rallying call in modern football, which is somewhat surprising given what followed its most famous use.
Steven Gerrard insisted it was what he and his Liverpool team-mates must do just that after a rousing 3-2 victory over Manchester City at Anfield in April 2014. A first Premier League title in 24 years was within reach.
This does not slip! Gerrard hollered. Only, of course, he did and City won the title.
Five years on, Liverpool again found City in their way. There were no slips during the run-in this time, nor much suggestion of a misplaced step. In the final reckoning, 98 points pipped 97. The third-highest points total in Premier League history was only good enough for second place.

Luis Suarez feels Marcelo Bielsa s coaching style has divided Uruguay s national team, as he revealed the negative atmosphere within the camp during the Copa America.
Suarez retired from international duty last month as Uruguay s leading scorer with 69 goals, while his tally of 143 caps is only bettered by Diego Godin (161).
The veteran forward was part of the side that finished third at the Copa America in July; La Celeste s best performance at the tournament since lifting the trophy in 2011.
However, he revealed it was not a happy camp in the United States, where Bielsa s tactics and approach caused friction among the players.
Suarez said some were contemplating their international futures, while he was critical of the treatment of midfielder Agustin Ca…
Tottenham have their best chance in years to snatch fourth spot in the Premier League and gain qualification to the champions league, but with some tough fixtures to come, they will see this home match to lowly Bolton as an absolutely crucial three points which they must win.
Harry Redknapp will be pleased that he has reached this stage of the season with a distinct advantage over fourth place rivals Man City, Aston Villa and Liverpool but he will also be aware that on paper Tottenham have the most difficult run in. After the bolton match Spurs will travel to Man City for a pivotal match and they follow that with a match away at Burnley already relegated and with the pressure off in their last game in the Premier League, they look like typical last game of the season banana ski…
Some of the best players in the world feature in LaLiga year after year. Even with the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo to join Juventus two seasons ago, Spain s top-tier continues to showcase top talent on a weekly basis. However, there are a few players who have not been able to respond to the lofty expectations placed over their shoulders during the current term.
Without further ado, here are the three biggest underperforming new signings in LaLiga during the current 2019-20 season.
Nabil Fekir Real Betis
Nabil Fekir joined Real Betis coming off two stellar seasons at Olympique Lyon. The attacking midfielder was close to join Liverpool months ago. However, he ended signing with Betis in what seemed a surprising decision. Los Verdiblancos were not playing in Europe thi…
Manchester United announced Everton manager David Moyes as the successor to Sir Alex Ferguson on this day in 2013.
Following a couple of days of intense speculation and false starts, United confirmed Moyes was to leave the Toffees at the end of the 2012-13 season after signing a six-year contract at Old Trafford.
The Scot edged out Jose Mourinho to the coveted post and had the support of Ferguson, who had just spent almost 27 years in the United hotseat and remained on the board as a non-executive director.
Outgoing chief executive David Gill claimed it was a “dream job” and Moyes, far from viewing it as the poisoned chalice some claimed, felt it represented an opportunity he simply could not turn down.
“I know how hard it will be to follow the best…

The second year of Mac Jones and the new-look Patriots get a tough test out of the gate, as New England heads to South Beach to face the Miami Dolphins.
With worrisome coaching and even worse talent at receiver, it’s the Patriots’ backfield that draws intrigue ahead of the new season. It’s a different story for Miami, with Tyreek Hill’s debut — and a fantastic 1-2 punch at receiver — eagerly awaited.
With Week 1 just around the corner, we look at the Patriots vs. Dolphins and bring you our best NFL player prop picks.

It’s been the year of the Under in the NFL, with games going below the total 59.7% of the time through the first 10 weeks of the season. That figure jumps to 60.6% if you exclude games that went to overtime.
Though the betting public generally loves supporting Overs, NFL odds totals have been trending down noticeably as the season goes on. As such, I think wagering opportunities are appearing on the Over, and that side makes up three of my favorite plays in the Week 11 odds.
I’ll parlay three Over wagers before diving into my favorite same-game parlay of the week, which involves the Dallas Cowboys taking on the Carolina Panthers.
Without further ado, here are my best free NFL parlay picks for Week 11.

We’re down to the final game of the season, and I’m going to miss it because Sundays aren’t the same without football, especially during the cold winter months.
Thankfully, the Super Bowl odds are giving us a great matchup with a tight spread and an avalanche of amazing betting opportunities. I’m deep into building out my betting card and am combining a variation of my favorite Super Bowl picks into a same-game parlay.
When playing parlays, I like to play it a little bit safer, and you’ll notice that with my four-legger below. We’ll be backing a strong Chiefs performance, a couple of skill-position studs, and a defense-led conclusion to the game with this Super Bowl parlay pick.
Check out my analysis below and best of luck with your Super Bow…
An AFC West rivalry plays out again on Sunday when the Las Vegas Raiders take on the Denver Broncos in the Mile High City.
Both 2-2 teams will be looking to kickstart a winning streak with a big divisional W. My Raiders vs. Broncos predictions believe the tides will turn in this recently one-sided rivalry.

Raiders vs Broncos prediction
My best betBroncos -3 (-105 at BetMGM)
My analysisThe Las Vegas Raiders have won nine of the last 10 matchups in this divisional rivalry and eight straight. However, the Denver Broncos are ready to buck that trend, and it’s all thanks to their defense. They’ve only allowed 13.8 points per game, which …
