A late double from Plymouth Argyle beats 10-man Exeter City in the Carabao Cup, and Alex Hartridge calls out abuse from Exeter fans. Plymouth scored two goals in two minutes after a sequence of errors in the First Round. Alex Hartridge put Plymouth ahead against his former side in the 92nd minute before Aribim Pepple then made it 2-0 with seconds to go until full time.

“I feel like if I don’t knock him out within five rounds, I’ll be a little disappointed in myself,” Garcia said to the media. “But I am still going to beat the f—k out of him and hopefully knock him out later. I am training to knock him out under five. This fight is five and below. I’m here to become a legend.” That prediction involves some risk considering Ryan has recorded only one knockout in the past four years, stopping Oscar Duarte in round eight in December 2023. Ryan’s fights with Gervonta Davis, Devin Haney, Rolando Rolly Romero and…

Morning all. The English and Spanish players returned to training yesterday, meaning that everyone is now back at London Colney as the preparations for the new season ramp up. There’s a game against Como on Wednesday, the Community Shield on Sunday, and then our Premier League opener the following Friday. The countdown has well and truly begun. I wonder if we’ll see movement in the market this week from Arsenal with regard the right hand side of the defence. Thankfully it looks like Christian Romero is going to Atletico Madrid, which feels about the right kind of club for him.…
Ryan Garcia intends to make Devin Haney and his team stew in the loss they have spent the past two years trying to discredit. A rematch may eventually happen, but Garcia isn’t interested in giving Haney another chance anytime soon. Garcia named Teofimo Lopez, Rolando Romero, and Shakur Stevenson as fights he wants after facing Conor Benn on September 12 in Las Vegas. Haney can wait. “I’m not in a rush to make that fight happen. They have to sit with that loss,” Ryan told The Ring. “Why do I have to beg for it? I’m here. I’m about to…

Essentially, it is only the very best.At first glance, your list looks decent, but you have left out two huge names – Lewis Hamilton and Alain Prost.Prost’s most exceptional season was in 1986, when he beat the two…

The Hammers got their season off and running with a 3-1 victory over Portsmouth in the Carabao Cup over the weekend, with centre-forward Taty Castellanos scoring a brace. Despite Castellanos’ positive start to the campaign, Nuno Espirito Santo still wants a new striker signed at the London Stadium before the deadline. AZ Alkmaar’s Troy Parrott has emerged as a top target over recent days, with West Ham making a £15m offer…
