'Pep threw the kitchen sink at it... fans couldn't have asked for more'

By Yahoo Sports | | 3/18/2026 12:28 PM

From the Premier League's greatest moment - Sergio Aguero's last-minute winner to hand Manchester City the title from neighbours Manchester United back in 2012 - to the 1999 Division Two play-off final against Gillingham, when the Blues came back from two goals down to be promoted on penalties, Houdini would be proud of some of our escapades. It was a blistering start from Pep Guardiola's side, but a Bernardo Silva red card altered the optics of the tie significantly. Rayan Cherki, a player fans had been so desperate to see start more, weaved his magic and kept knocking on the door. ... Read full Story

All Arsenal fans have been behind him; we feel a sense of 'living through another's actions' when we see a boyhood Arsenal fan doing the business for his club. Eze stepped up. ... Read full Story

Word of the Day

jejune

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for March 18, 2026 is:

jejune • \jih-JOON\ • adjective

Jejune is a formal word that means "uninteresting" or "boring." It is also used as a synonym of juvenile to describe things (such as behaviors, attitudes, etc.) that are immature, childish, or simplistic.

// The movie adaptation employed surreal visual effects to tell the story, making the plot, jejune in the novel, archetypal rather than artless.

// The professor made rude and jejune remarks about the students' artwork.

See the entry >

Examples:

"While [author Helen] Garner has journaled most of her life, she burned her early diaries in a bonfire having deemed them too embarrassing or jejune." — The Irish Times, 29 Mar. 2025

Did you know?

Starved for excitement? You won't get it from something jejune. The term comes to us from the Latin word jejunus, which means "empty of food," "hungry," or "meager." When English speakers first used jejune back in the 1600s, they applied it in ways that mirrored the meaning of its Latin parent, lamenting "jejune appetites" and "jejune morsels." Something that is meager rarely satisfies, and before long jejune was being used not only for meager meals or hunger, but also for things lacking in intellectual or emotional substance. It's possible that the word gained its now-popular "juvenile" or "childish" sense when people confused it with the look-alike French word jeune, which means "young."
