Super Bowl defeat to the New England Patriots three years ago, but head coach Sean McVay must get it right against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.That's the view of NFL expert Mike Carlson as the Rams look to win the Super Bowl for the second time, having lost on three of their four appearances on the biggest stage of all.The most recent came against the Patriots, when the Rams were held to just three points in a 13-3 defeat in Tom Brady's final Super Bowl for New England.It's a different challenge this time around for McVay as he takes on a Bengals team with a frightening wide receiving corps, but a weaker O-line.And Carlson, speaking for Betfair at Passyunk Avenue in London, believes McVay will have learned from the struggle in Atlanta three years ago."This is a different team," Carlson told Daily Star Sport. "Maybe McVay has it in the back of his mind, but I don't think so."The organic flow of this game is going to be different to that one.

Aston Villa could land Philippe Coutinho from Barcelona for cheap despite the Brazilian’s initial £34million option-to-buy clause.Coutinho arrived at Villa Park in January on loan from the Catalan side with a reported £34million buy option at the end of the season inserted in the deal.The 29-year-old appears to have put all past woes behind him and has hit the ground running under Steven Gerrard, scoring two goals in three appearances for the Villans.And it is now being reported by Spanish outlet SPORT that the side could end up signing him permanently for less than their initially agreed £34million.It is understood that Barcelona, who are facing huge financial restraints, are desperate to get Coutinho off their wage bill.That means the La Liga side may consider lowering their asking price for a player who is not a part of Xavi’s future plans, having only made 12 appearances this season mainly off the bench.Villa are not expected to splash £34million despite Coutinho’s brilliance and will hope to negotiate a new price.That is likely to be in the region of a far more reasonable sum of £21-£25million.Do you think Villa should sign Coutinho on a permanent deal at the end of the season?

Ben Croll “I asked myself, why was it so difficult to name a Quebecois film from the past 25 years that treated sexuality as its central theme?” Côté told Variety. “Why could France foster directors who filmed the human body in direct and unselfconscious ways, and Quebec could not? Were Quebecois more prudish than others?”And so the Montreal-based filmmaker started on his 14th feature, which follows three so-called “hypersexual” women, plagued with troubled histories and fragile mental states, as they participate in a month-long therapy retreat. But as he developed the script with a local sexologist, the filmmaker saw potential traps in two very different directions.“The film could never be meant to judge,” Côté explained.
