Jack Wilshere says sorry for seeing red in Luton’s 2-1 defeat at Stevenage, which saw two ‘blatant’ refereeing errors, says Chris Powell. The latter said he felt the first Stevenage goal should’ve been ruled out for a foul in the build-up and the second for offside. Thursday’s result sees Stevenage up to 4th with 9 points from 6 games played, while Luton are 8th with 8 points, with this weekend’s games to play out.

Newcastle head into Monday’s trip to Leeds on the back of an eye-catching start to life under Matthias Jaissle, with the Magpies yet to lose since the German replaced Eddie Howe over the summer. The early signs are that Jaissle’s Newcastle are going to be one of the most exciting teams to watch in the Premier League this season, with goals flowing at the other end of the pitch too. REUTERS/Lee Smith The manager spoke about the chances his side are conceding ahead of the trip to Elland Road: “You can see that but you can see also the fact…
Garcia is one of boxing’s biggest social media stars, with more than 13 million Instagram followers. He recently appeared on WWE’s Monday Night Raw and it did not take long for the news conference to take on a similarly theatrical feel.Minutes after taking his seat, Garcia reached into a bag, pulled out the egg, calmly peeled it and ate it whole.”He has a lot of familiarity with eggs so I thought I’d eat some,” Garcia said, as his opponent’s father – Nigel Benn – shook his head.It was a reference to Benn’s two positive tests for clomifene in 2022 and…
Portland Timbers boss Marti Cifuentes has welcomed “internal competition” ahead of their trip to face FC Dallas this weekend. The topic came up for Cifuentes after Ronald Hernandez made his Portland debut in their 2-2 draw with St. Louis City SC last time out. Hernandez, who joined from Atlanta United, replaced Eric Miller in the 65th minute and made a positive impact as the Timbers salvaged a late draw. The 28-year-old full-back created two chances, a joint-second team-high, while also recording two interceptions and winning his only attempted tackle. Cifuentes was pleased with Hernandez’s performance on debut and hopes his…
It can be misleading to rely only on your eyes and the optics of Conor Benn’s body. It’s also more than fair to ask which Ryan Garcia will show up to the ring. Let us not forget Garcia put up a lackluster performance in a loss to Rolando Romero prior to beating a limited Mario Barrios. In the fight before that with Devin Haney, Garcia didn’t seem to take it seriously all week. Only for Garcia to drop Haney a few times in a fight that was ruled a no contest after Ryan popped for an illegal substance. When Ryan…
“A guy who’s supposed to be one of the promoters of the event, I’ve never seen somebody do more damage to a fight than this guy has done. You’re supposed to be promoting your guy, and in the busted-up system right now, you go wherever the money is. It’s one of the most fascinating things I’ve ever seen. Eddie Hearn just keeps hurting the fight. A fight that should have happened 10 years ago,” White told talkSPORT Boxing. While White never pinpointed specific grievances, his frustration clearly stems from Hearn’s public friction with TKO. Hearn has loudly questioned the proposed…

Morning all, happy Friday to you. Mikel Arteta will meet the press this morning ahead of our trip to Sunderland on Saturday, having seen his team play very well in Napoli after making changes in key positions. I was hoping we’d see rotation, and I was hoping that the players who came in did well, because – and I realise this might just be me – I feel like he almost needs to be convinced by the idea that using his big squad to the fullest extent is a good one. Not on an intellectual level. I’m sure he understands…
European football adds another layer of risk to this week’s Final One Standing selections, but it should not automatically deter us from backing the strongest sides. Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal all face opponents whose results have either exceeded their underlying performances or exposed serious weaknesses. Meanwhile, Brighton provide the more adventurous alternative: statistically impressive but considerably less secure. Chelsea vs Hull City The Blues are the standout selection of the weekend – though they are admittedly a short price in football betting odds. Do not be deceived by the Tigers’ lofty league position. They sit third, remain unbeaten and are…
