As Tottenham Hotspur defender Radu Dragusin continues to be a big topic in the Romanian media, we now get to see a former West Ham United player commenting on the situation. Outlet Prima Sport today features some quotes from Florin Raducioiu, who, on the Football Show, had been speaking about the defender’s current struggles in the Premier League. The 53-year-old, who played for West Ham in 1996, now has some questions for Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou about Dragusin’s lack of playing time at Spurs. “In the case of Radu Drăguşin, it is totally different. He knew very well where he was going.…
In a new article series, we take a look at Springbok players who were very unfortunate not to play more Test matches. Between 2015 and 2019, Springbok loose forward Marcell Coetzee spent an inordinate amount of time on the sidelines due to a series of unfortunate injuries that had stunted a highly-promising career. After making his Springbok debut in 2012 at the age of 21, he went on to feature in 12 Tests that year. A long and illustrious international career looked to be all but guaranteed at that point. The versatile loose forward also enjoyed a productive 2014 Test season, when…
There will be some cause for concern over the injury suffered by Springboks star Cheslin Kolbe on the eve of the Test rugby season. The Springboks management will be sweating following confirmation that Cheslin Kolbe suffered a significant injury while on duty for his club in Japan. According to reputable Japan-based journalist Rich Freeman, Kolbe has injured his hand pretty badly and could be sidelined for up to six weeks. Kolbe missed Suntory’s 62-0 triumph over Black Rams in Japan’s League One last weekend due to the unfortunate knock. Kolbe’s hand was extensively bandaged and in a brace as he…
This Tottenham dud is at the epicentre of a chequered transfer history. Tottenham Hotspur are fighting for a return to the Champions League in Ange Postecoglou’s first campaign in the dugout, with the club falling by the wayside in recent years. Shrewd investment in the transfer market is not exactly anything new under chairman Daniel Levy, widely accepted as one of the more economical figures in the Premier League, but thrifty spending hasn’t always hit the mark. Sure, Spurs yield a chequered past in this regard, but well it goes right, it goes right. Gareth Bale is probably the gold standard in this regard, one of…
Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou has been linked with a move away from the club in recent weeks. Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp announced that he will leave the club at the end of the season and take a sabbatical for management. Naturally, Liverpool have been linked with several managers and Postecoglou is reportedly a target to replace the German manager. The 58-year-old Australian manager is a self-proclaimed Liverpool fan and he has done an impressive job in the Premier League since taking over at Tottenham. There have been links that he could be one of the candidates to replace Klopp…
With the recruiting dead period set to end, it’s time to talk about recruiting again. With Sherrone Moore leading Michigan football, recruiting has been at the top of many fan’s minds. There is a general belief that recruiting will be better under Moore due to his aggressive recruiting technique, but that obviously remains to be seen. For the Wolverines, NIL is still a major question mark. Although Michigan football appears to have improved its NIL game, it’s unclear if it will have an impact on recruits as the team has focused a lot of its efforts on player retention rather than…
Tottenham Hotspur returned to winning ways in the Premier League last weekend after dispatching impressive Crystal Palace at home, scoring three late goals to turn the game on its head. Even though they still have a game in hand and are five points behind Aston Villa in fourth place with twelve games remaining, Ange Postecoglou will feel that there is still a lot of work to be done as the season’s pivotal final stretch approaches. However, there has been significant progress since the team’s struggles in the previous year. After such dim hopes in the latter stages of the 2022–23 campaign, Tottenham has…
Is J.J. McCarthy a top-six selection? We think so and explain why. Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy had a stellar career at Michigan and his chances of having success in the NFL appear to be high as well. McCarthy had a 27-1 record as a starter, a career completion percentage of 68 with 6,226 yards passing, 49 passing touchdowns, 11 interceptions along with 632 rushing yards and 10 rushing scores. McCarthy’s draft stock is on the rise after a great showing at the NFL Scouting Combine on Saturday. At this point it’s not a question of if McCarthy will be a…
SHARE How good is former Michigan football signal-caller J.J. McCarthy? Heisman level good, according to one former NFL general manager. Longtime New York Jets executive Mike Tannenbaum praised McCarthy during Monday’s showing of Get Up on ESPN, saying his talents go beyond the stats he posted during his tenure with the Wolverines. Tannenbaum said McCarthy could have put up Heisman-type numbers if he played at LSU Tigers, the home of fellow top-ranked draft prospect Jayden Daniels. Along with North Carolina’s Drake Maye, McCarthy and Daniels are among the top quarterback prospects for April’s NFL draft, behind the consensus top pick, USC’s…
Springboks hooker Bongi Mbonambi has revealed that he apologised to referee Aimee Barrett-Theron following their interaction during Saturday’s United Rugby Championship clash. Mbonambi was criticised for his words, actions and overall demeanour when he wanted to find out why a Sharks try had been disallowed.

The interaction The Springboks hooker was unhappy about a TMO call and, as a result, the situation could have escalated, but Barrett-Theron did brilliantly to calm the situation down, while also…
