Tottenham leave White Hart Lane to play their home games at Wembley next season, a stadium that has not been kind to them in recent times.

He added of Wenger: "I think he will be very pleased with me that I am going to be changing my team to play against Arsenal, he will be really happy with me". "But whatever team Mourinho plays, it will be a tough test for Arsenal". Arsenal may yet finish the season with a trophy, as they will face Chelsea in the FA Cup final on May 27, but they are running out of time to avoid a first season outside the Champions League in 20 years.

- May 06, 2017
But Mourinho claimed there was no need to bury the hatchet with Wenger and that the under-fire Arsenal boss should be happy he will make changes with the Gunners themselves still harbouring ambitions of a top four finish.

- May 06, 2017

Quad injury ends Parker's season
- May 06, 2017
Despite losing Parker for the reminder of the season San Antonio still has a shot of winning this series. San Antonio led 97-83 at the time of Parker's injury. The Cavs game should be another snoozer as Lebron and company continue to just steamroll one of the top teams in the East (yet again). "He did miss six free throws", cracked Toronto's Kyle Lowry.

- May 06, 2017
When you can't make shots and can't make stops, there's nowhere to go but down and now the Raptors are down to their last chance, trailing 3-0 with Game 4 awaiting Sunday night. He entered play averaging 32.7 points in playoff games that follow a game in which he was held under 10 points. Those Celtics, however, did not have to log the same mileage as James since the bulk of their reign came during a period when the National Basketball Association had fewer than 10 teams, meaning fewer ...

Guentzel, whose first goal of the game came after Crosby laid out on the ice to block a shot before he chipped the puck to Guentzel, said it's hard to be surprised by all the wonderful stuff Crosby does.

Kentucky Derby: Horse with one eye quickly becoming fan favorite at Derby

It rained. He loved the sloppy track. That means he's won a bet where you pick the winners of Friday's Kentucky Oaks and Saturday's Kentucky Derby each of the past eight years. Not only that, some horse players question how well Pletcher does when he brings horses north from Florida in the spring, and his record in the Derby (1 for 45) adds fuel to that theory. (more...)

Browns follow miserable, 1-win season with solid draft
- May 06, 2017
The Browns were the first team since Minnesota in 2013 with three first-rounders. Still, with owner Jimm Haslem and others seeing Trubisky, who started just 13 games at North Carolina, as a potential Bernie Kosar for Cleveland - you know, local boy comes home to save the franchise - you can pretty much bet on the Browns trading up for him.
