Ally McCoist loses it (again) as talkSPORT listeners suggest hilarious Dog XI

Ally McCoist was left in stitches as talkSPORT listeners put forward their best suggestions for a Dog XI.


After the Rangers legend was rolled over by your ideas for a Pie and Biscuit XI, we asked our audience to pupare their best team of Kane-ine footballers.


And to be fair, some of them are the dog’s b*llocks.


You can watch the video below…








So we’ve created our strongest Leads United XI, led by Pup Guardiola and featuring well-known superstars such as Kenny Dogleash and Robbie Growler.















It’s a little ruff around the edges – and we’ve potentially rover-dosed on strikers.

Liverpool’s Premier League title hopes took a huge blow with Man City’s win over United



The result was devastating for Liverpool fans, who were hoping old rivals United would take at least a point off Pep Guardiola̢۪s men.


It means the Reds could finish season with 97 points – the highest points haul in their history – and still not be champions.


It would be a cruel way to lose the title race, with Liverpool agonisingly close to ending their wait for a first league title since 1990.


Jurgen Klopp̢۪s side have undoubtedly been one of the best sides to watch this term and are still fighting in the Champions League ahead of a semi-final showdown Barcelona.

But even if they don̢۪t manage to lift any silverware, Anfield legend Barnes says this campaign will not be disaster.


â€Å“When people say coming second is failure, no one can convince me that 97 points and losing one game is failure,” the former winger told Thursday’s Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast.


â€Å“Plus, we’re in the Champions League semi-final against a Barcelona team that is one of the best ever.


â€Å“So even if we are beaten by Barcelona and finish second, for me, it’s been an incredible season that shows we’re moving forward.

Barnes is also confident the Liverpool players will not be distracted by the Old Trafford result.


While there may be fears in Merseyside the psychological blow of City̢۪s crucial win may impact their league run-in and upcoming Barcelona clash, the former star insists Jurgen Klopp will ensure the Reds keep their focus.


He added: â€Å“Before Barcelona, we have to play Huddersfield and beat them to keep pressure on Man City.















â€Å“But nothing Manchester City does affects Liverpool, because Jurgen Klopp has the players playing with commitment, determination and energy, regardless of whether it’s against Barcelona or Huddersfield.


â€Å“You see what Liverpool put in every performance, they don’t prioritise one game over an other, Klopp says take every game one at a time and give your all, so it wont affect the Barcelona situation one iota.”

Newcastle United transfer news: Mike Ashley ‘reluctant’ to sign Salomon Rondon on permanent deal this summer

Mike Ashley is reportedly not keen on making Salomon Rondon a permanent Newcastle United player in the summer.


Rondon has been a big hit with the Magpies this season and has nine Premier League goals for Rafael Benitez̢۪s side.

The 29-year-old has a release clause in his contract of £16.5million, provided the Baggies don’t get promoted. If they do return to the Premier League, the price will increase.


The Daily Star report that Newcastle owner Ashley, who has failed to find a buyer for the club, is reluctant to sign off on the transfer due to the striker turning 30 in September.


They also report that he has told Benitez he will sanction another big deal, after the £21million signing of Miguel Almiron, but only for younger players whose transfer market value is likely to increase.

It is not just the Newcastle faithful who Rondon has impressed.


Former Ireland striker and talkSPORT pundit Tony Cascarino believes he has the potential to be a â€Å“£50million striker”.


â€Å“In January last year, Alan Pardew persuaded West Bromwich Albion to turn down £38million from China for Salomon Rondon,” Cascarino told The Times.


â€Å“If he keeps playing like this, he could be a £50million striker. There hasn’t been a better signing this season, but he is only on loan at Newcastle. If they can make it permanent, they should because he can be a Champions League player.”















Newcastle boss Benitez has also yet to sign a new contract with negotiations thought to be on-going.


Ashley wants him to stay but the Spaniard wants assurances that investment will be made in the playing squad.

Toby Alderweireld transfer latest: Manchester United ‘to trigger’ £25m release clause for Spurs defender

Manchester United have reignited their interest in Tottenham defender Toby Alderweireld, according to reports.


The north London club triggered a 12-month extension on the Belgian’s deal at the beginning of the year after failing to reach an agreement over a new contract.





Toby Alderweireld has been linked with a move to Manchester United in the past

Toby Alderweireld has been linked with a move to Manchester United in the past



By taking up the extension, Spurs activated a £25million release clause which kicks in at the start of the summer transfer window.


United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has already started preparations for a busy summer in the market.


He has made Borussia Dortmund star Jadon Sancho his top target – with a £100m deal mooted for the England starlet.


According to The Sun, United are also keen to add to their defence and have identified the 30-year-old as the ideal player to slot straight into their first-team next season.















Old Trafford deal-makers are set ‘to trigger’ the £25million release clause, although they have not yet made contact with Spurs over the move.


Aldeweireld has spent four seasons at Tottenham and has accumulated over 100 Premier League appearances for Mauricio Pochettino’s side.


The Belgium international has emerged as one of the best defenders in English football throughout his time in north London.





Alderweireld could be one of Solskjaer’s first signings as Man United manager

Alderweireld could be one of Solskjaer’s first signings as Man United manager



Former Red Devils boss Jose Mourinho spoke openly for months about wanting to sign a centre-half, and Alderweireld was strongly linked with a move to Old Trafford.


A deal for the 30-year-old was vetoed by the club’s executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward, however, due to fears Alderweireld could not play as part of a two-man defence.


It now looks like the defender could be headed north for a cut-price fee and may well be one of Solskjaer’s first signings as United manager.

Barcelona star Ousmane Dembele is now a better player than Neymar, according to the man who signed him, Josep Bartomeu.


The Barca president oversaw Neymar’s £198m transfer to Paris Saint-Germain in 2017, with Dembele arriving from Borussia Dortmund shortly afterwards for £135m and Philippe Coutinho joining the club from Liverpool in January 2018 for £142m.

“Dembele’s level is better now than Neymar’s, he’s a much better player than Neymar and he’s already adapted.”















The Camp Nou supremo was also full of praise for former Liverpool star Coutinho, who has been linked with a move away from Barcelona recently.


However, it appears the 26-year-old Brazil international is going nowhere.


“Coutinho is a great player, excellent, he’s getting better and better,” he added.
