Following Monday's 2-0 loss to Burton Albion, after which Zola resigned, Birmingham are just three points above the second-tier drop zone with three matches remaining. "It's not easy. All I can do is try and install some confidence - two wins in 24 games is there for all to see". I haven't got a magic wand that's for sure, it's up to them. (more...)

John Wall leads Wizards to playoff win
- April 20, 2017

Wall's 32 points was a career playoff-high for him. From there, Atlanta extended the run to 13-0 to take a 74-67 lead and it was keyed by Millsap (14 points in the first eight minutes of the quarter) and Dennis Schröder. If he's missing at that rate, he'll absolutely leave the Hawks exposed against a Wizards backcourt that can turn every long rebound into a John Wall runout. (more...)

Terry could stay in Premier League?
- April 20, 2017

Terry is the most decorated individual in Chelsea club history, with four Premier League titles, one Champions League , five FA Cups, a Europa League and three League Cups. You associate him as a one club man and I think it's always sad when a player of that stature for a club puts a shirt on for someone else. "I look forward to returning to this great club in some capacity in the future", he added. (more...)

- April 20, 2017

A dark few days for Borussia Dortmund star Marc Bartra were made a little brighter when he caught up with former Barcelona team-mates Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets.

Senators aim for more of same vs. Bruins
- April 20, 2017

The series shifts to Boston for Games 3 and 4 on Monday and Wednesday. A few times in these playoffs - in which Karlsson has already racked up four assists in three games - he has made Bruin players look silly trying to stop him.

James White, Patriots agree on three-year extension, report says
- April 20, 2017

Far from a one-hit wonder, White was one of the NFL's most improved players in 2016. He is most known for his game-winning overtime touchdown in Super Bowl LI, but he also had a great game before that short run. A significant portion of that production came through the air, as White has served in a key receiving role out of the Patriots' backfield since debuting in 2014. (more...)

But, according to Nevin, there are some silver linings to Tottenham's challenge - as long as the Blues come out on top at the end. "We know our schedule is not easy".

Kevin Durant (Left Calf Strain) Questionable For Game 2
- April 20, 2017

After using a heroic fourth quarter from Draymond Green to lift the team to a victory in Game 1 on Sunday, Golden State carried that momentum over from the beginning. The Trail Blazers wouldn't go away quietly, however, and would get themselves back in the game with a strong start to the second quarter. Personally, I no longer watch the TNT halftime shows, but I have a feeling the Warriors might have as they entered the third quarter and methodically shut down the Trail Blazers . (more...)
