Jamie Vardy unfazed by potential scoring record

Jamie Vardy has insisted that although breaking the Premier League record for scoring in consecutive games would be an "honour", it is not on his mind after the 3-2 victory over West Bromwich Albion on Saturday.

The England striker netted with 13 minutes remaining of the victory at The Hawthorns to get his name on the scoresheet for the eighth match in a row and take his tally for the season to 11.Only Ruud van Nistelrooy and Daniel Sturridge have now scored in more consecutive Premier League matches than Vardy, but the 28-year-old insists that he is just concentrating on taking one game at a time.

"If I achieve it it will be an absolute honour but I have just got to knuckle down and prepare for the next game," he told reporters."As soon as I went through one-on-one I knew that I would slot it past [Boaz Myhill]. It would be great to equal Ruud van Nistelrooy's record but I have got to prepare for the next game and make sure I score then."The game was exhausting towards the end when they got a goal back, but the boys saw it out. We showed amazing character again."

Hull City Manager chides Tottenham's Jan Vertonghen following Spurs' 2-1 win

Following Spurs' 2-1 win over Hull City, City manager Steve Bruce lashed out at Tottenham's Jan Vertonghen for exaggerating to get Hull City's Ramirez Gaston red-carded. Bruce castigated such act as unhealthy for the Premier League. The Uruguayan midfielder Ramirez got the red card for kicking at Belgian Jan Vertonghen. Bruce argued his man only showed "petulance" when he was provoked by Jan. And such behaviour could not be regarded as "violent". The City went down when Tottenham's Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen found the net in the game's second half. Speaking with his news conference, Bruce said, "Ramirez has shown petulance. Vertonghen has had a little go at him, and Ramirez has flicked out. The law says it is a violent conduct. For me, it is an act of petulance -- it is not violent conduct." Via espn

Headmaster Pep Guardiola injects new rules into City camp; bans mobile phones

It's safe to say Pep is a perfectionist and also a headmaster, lol. But seriously, Pep has no intentions to drop his standards after a record-breaking 2017/18 season. He doesn't plan to chart a course like his colleague Ranieri of Leicester City did. Pep recently banned the use of mobile phones, and he also banned lateness to training. Every violation comes with a corresponding fine, ask Benjamin Mendy. Pep plans to repeat his outstanding triumph like he did last season.
