It doesn’t take managers long to annoy fans with their team selections.

But in just his second game in charge he’s got some people raising eyebrows…
Wrexham and Birmingham meet at the Racecourse Ground tonight in a Championship game that already feels like an early measuring stick. Both clubs have started the season with two points from their opening two league matches, and both have done it the hard way, by drawing rather than losing. That makes this less about table position for now and more about who can turn control into three points first. Wrexham opened with a 1-1 draw against Cardiff and followed that with another 1-1 against Watford. Birmingham have taken a similar route, sharing a 2-2 draw with Bristol City after a…
His comeback continues Saturday, August 29, against Juan Manuel Cordoba in Hermosillo, Mexico. Cordoba has a 7-1 record and has never fought anyone close to Berchelt’s former level. Beating him would extend the winning streak without demonstrating that Berchelt belongs among the leading contenders at 135 pounds. Berchelt recently told Mexican media that he hoped Zepeda would give him an opportunity. The two previously sparred when Berchelt was preparing to defend his super featherweight title against Takashi Miura. “Hopefully he does me the favor. I’m going to buy my lottery ticket, and I’ll light a candle so Zepeda notices me,”…

Stevenson stubbornly held to his demand of 144 pounds during the Haney talks. Under that arrangement, Shakur would have moved up four pounds while Haney came down three from the welterweight limit. He negotiated as though he were the A-side and Haney needed the fight badly enough to accept those terms. Haney owned the larger following, held the welterweight title and had no obligation to weaken himself. Shakur’s demand also conflicted with his previous willingness to face Conor Benn at the full 147-pound limit. He even offered to accept Benn’s choice of rehydration restrictions during their confrontation in February. TalkSPORT…
Morning all. When asked about a certain Argentinian player at his press conference yesterday, Mikel Arteta said ‘Don’t go there’, so today we won’t. Zero mentions, zero speculation, which tallies with all the zero that appears to be happening, so it makes sense to do that. A more interesting snippet from the presser was when he was quizzed about Gabriel Jesus who was not spotted training with the rest of the group. When asked about it, he said: It’s something to do with the numbers that we have in the squad at the moment and the way we’re managing that…

“I learned in my fights, because I have a lot of scars [he points to his eyebrows]. And I fought with good heavyweights, with good guys. I did 10 rounds with Efe Ajagba. I think that fight was for me [he should have got the decision]. But anyway, I lost by split decision and I learned in this fight what it means to fight in 10 rounds in long distance. All the fights that I had in my past taught me something. Then, when they saw that when you lost, you go back for 10 steps. And when you win,…
As Celtic skipper Callum McGregor swept home inside the opening exchanges on Tuesday night, it looked unfathomable that the evening would end in disappointment, with the Scottish champions four goals clear in the tie. There was a zip and energy to the away side’s performance initially, the men in green and white looking to have learned their lesson following the debacle against Kairat a year earlier. The manner in which things subsequently unravelled truly was remarkable, with Celtic’s experienced heads, McGregor aside, seemingly wilting against their rampant hosts.
