  13. Carroll finally listens to advicepublished at 15:13

    West Ham striker Andy Carroll says he has finally reined in his combative style of play in training in a bid to stay fit - because he was told to by fiancee Billi Mucklow.

    "My missus got on my case," he said after scoring twice in their friendly with Juventus following an injury-free pre-season. 

    "It started at home. When she set the ball rolling it was like 'oh yeah, I've got to listen'. 

    "And obviously it's worked. There a lot of people who have tried to drill it into my head for three or four years now and I haven't really listened. 

    "You know, take it easy in training, because for my second goal I took out about four players, even my own players - and in training I do that as well, so that's not very good for me or for our players. So I just have to listen to people and take it easy."

  20. Bristol City want at least £10m for Kodjiapublished at 14:01 British Summer Time 8 August 2016

    Bristol City will not sell Ivory Coast forward Jonathan Kodjia for less than £10m - and would not even sell him to a Championship club for that fee, says owner Steve Lansdown.

    "If it's not £10 million-plus, we're not even looking at it. If it's £10 million-plus from a Championship club, we're still not looking at it."
