Show me you have confidence in your ability, Spurs boss tells youngsters
- September 18, 2016
Spurs have won five matches at Stoke, more than any other Premier League side, including a brilliant 4-0 win there last season. Asked why it had taken so long for Spurs to complete the £10.9million signing of winger Georges-Kevin Nkoudou from Marseille having agreed a fee and terms over a month previously, Pochettino insisted there had been issues to resolve.

Murray set for 'one more big push'
- September 18, 2016
The more the Murray boys could take out the first day's hero the better since, given that Evans had earned a match point when taking US Open champion and world No 4 Stan Wawrinka to five sets on his way to that title this month, he would surely have a real chance of going one better when fully fresh against "Delpo".

Murrays keep Britain alive in Davis Cup semi vs Argentina
- September 18, 2016
Murray rallied and pulled into a 2-1 lead as the match ticked past three hours. "To come out and get the win with Jamie today was great", three-time Grand Slam victor Andy said. Becoming the Wimbledon champion for a second occasion this year might not have had quite the same cathartic feel or epic quality as his first victory in 2013, but it was compelling nonetheless, especially as it was his first Grand Slam title anywhere for three years.

The test will get immediately more hard tonight as they travel to Notre Dame to battle the 18th ranked Fighting Irish.

Second half we dominated it, but we weren't clinical enough. I saw him a year ago when we played them and I'll look forward to seeing him again. "Similar surroundings, a big packed stadium and against a tough side so that is what we drew upon for this game". (more...)

- September 18, 2016
The game began in fairly tentative fashion, with both sides trading possession and trying to feel each other out. "You can't take the scoreline away, but what we can take away from the game is that at certain points we were well alive in it", said Phelan. (more...)

How the Ohio State offense got its mojo back
- September 18, 2016
What's truly amusing about the whole thing - besides the fact that Ohio State's defense isn't basic - is the fact that Kendall was a Buckeyes fan just a few short years ago. In receiving, Nick Basquine posted 80 yards and a touchdown in 3 receptions while Mark Andrews added 60 yards and a touchdown in 2 catches. Or will Ohio State force Mayfield out of the pocket and limit his ability to take advantage of big plays when things break down up front? As the game progresses, however, the ... (more...)

- September 18, 2016
The Jets allowed 155 yards on those two massive plays, and only 152 passing yards the rest of the night.

Just a couple of years ago Revis was deemed the lockdown corner of all lockdown corners. (more...)
