For Pochettino, the weekend could not come soon enough, because he needed an opportunity to put that humiliation behind him. On Saturday, when Spurs travel to the AMEX Stadium to face Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League, the manager and his players will be looking to make a statement. Tottenham had invested wisely in the summer but had failed to build on their last season’s progress. Pochettino’s wards had won just 3 of their first 7 games in the league and in a season where Liverpool has been flawless at the top of the table, Tottenham’s lack of consistency has hurt them....

Neither the club nor Amex have commented on its value, but an industry insider believes it to be in excess of £100 million ($125 million), making it one of the largest sponsorships in the league outside of the top six clubs. It also represents a staggering 20-fold increase on the existing 10-year arrangement with the financial services firm and secures one of the longest-running sponsorship partnerships in UK football....

52 ranking spots separated the two but that hardly bothered the 24-year-old American. The reigning French Open champion failed to get any break point and had her serve broken only once which was enough for Brady to wrap up the opening set. The second set was more even and it went to a tie-break where the American served strongly to bag the 6-4, 7-6(4) win in 1 hour 32 minutes....

Defenders Corey Brown (hamstring) and Daniel Bowles (knee) will miss Tuesday night’s match at Suncorp Stadium, while midfielders Matt McKay (broken nose) and Thomas Kristensen (hamstring) are “touch and go”, according to Aloisi. In some good news, full-back Jack Hingert will make his return from an ankle injury, while centre-back Luke DeVere should recover from a knock sustained in Saturday night’s 2-2 draw away to Perth Glory. Aloisi applauds Roar youngsters...

No play was possible when Sri Lanka were due to face Pakistan on Friday and rain put paid to the match at the same venue four days later. Both sides were looking for a second win of the tournament, but persistent rain made conditions unplayable. West Indies and South Africa also had to settle for a point apiece when their match was called off on Monday, with the struggling Proteas in trouble on 29-2 after 7....

The Bank of England’s monetary policy committee announced on Thursday that the U.K. was heading for a recession that would last five quarters—a total of 15 months. The committee, which sets interest rates in the U.K., voted 8 to 1 in favor of raising them from 1.25 percent to 1.75 percent—the highest single rise in 27 years—as officials warned of economic pain to come. A 15-month recession would be as long as the U....

Defending champion Untapable will skip the feature event after trainer Steve Asmussen found the filly to be suffering from a slight illness following a four-furlong breeze on Monday. This will shorten the odds on race favorite Wedding Toast (4-to-1 in morning line). The Kiaran McLaughlin-trained mare is a speedster but has raced around two-turns only twice in her career, and some question whether she’ll be able to hang on at 1 1/18 miles....

After a remarkable season where Liverpool contended for the title after two decades, Rodgers is believed to have agreed terms with Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group to sign a new deal. Although the final terms of the contract are unclear, he is expected to sign a new contract shortly after the Premier League season ends on Sunday. Liverpool play Newcastle United in their final match and still have a chance of winning the title despite their disappointing recent results....

Hernan Perez, Yasmani Grandal and Orlando Arcia also homered for the defending NL Central champions, who improved to 7-1. They have won nine of their last 12 games against the Cubs, including the division tiebreaker in October. Jason Heyward, Daniel Descalso and Willson Contreras homered for the Cubs, who fell to 1-6. Milwaukee wasted no time getting to starter Jose Quintana (0-1), with Christian Yelich hitting an RBI double in the first and scoring on Braun’s single....

For now, manager Ron Roenicke and the rest of the coaching staff remain in place. Roenicke had the Brewers in first place for 150 days before their 9-22 finish doomed them to third place behind the NL Central champ St. Louis Cardinals and Pittsburgh Pirates, who were a wild-card playoff team. GM Doug Melvin called retaining Roenick and his coaches “the best course of action to take.” Player personnel decisions are being addresses, Melvin said....

Nadie nos puede asegurar que esto no cambie en el futuro, pero por ahora lo único cierto es que los ciudadanos de la Unión Europea que vivan en Inglaterra, Escocia, Gales o Irlanda del Norte deben registrarse en lo que se conoce como EU Settlement Scheme.

In October 2021, Succession star Cox released his autobiography Putting the Rabbit in the Hat where he shared his honest opinions on celebrities like Depp, Steven Seagal, Quentin Tarantino and David Bowie. However, he appears to want to backtrack on some of his comments, as he made clear on his recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!. Within his memoir, Scottish actor Cox wrote about Depp: “Personable though I’m sure he is, is so overblown, so overrated....

Stewart, who was on the lead lap and chasing his first Southern 500 win in his final run at Darlington Raceway, was initially attempting to move past the rookie driver, who was already several laps down, when he had to check up and back off when Scott’s car wobbled on the track. MORE: Earnhardt fiance helping with recovery Stewart then drove into the rear quarterpanel of Scott’s car, causing him to spin and bringing out the caution on Lap 204....

Video footage of the incident at a drawbridge in Jupiter, South Florida, was also captured by a bystander. Jillian Pisciotta, a woman in the area, was able to capture the tense moment on her phone from the edge of the Intracoastal Waterway in Jupiter last month, according to a Fox 13 report. The boat had stopped underneath the drawbridge to avoid the heavy rain. The bridge operator was also unaware the boat was in the area when they began to raise the bridge....

After a torrid 3-1 loss to Crystal Palace last weekend, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer must ensure that his troops put on a much more convincing showing this time around and play with the swagger that characterised the late season sprint which sneaked them into the top four in the last campaign. More importantly, Manchester United need to play well to distract their own fans from what has been an impotent and frustrating transfer window....

Saturday’s 4-0 victory was Brighton’s biggest in top-flight football and the scoreline did not flatter them at all. Indeed, it could conceivably have been worse for United, who produced another candidate for their worst performance in the post-Alex Ferguson era. Graham Potter’s side started the match with aggression and intensity, and put the away team on the back foot right from the off. Although David de Gea wasn’t tested too much in the opening stages, the hosts were getting the ball forward with regularity....
