Conceiçao reaction to Maignan howler and how Milan upset their coach vs Feyenoord Milan coach Sergio Conceiçao complained that his players ‘didn’t win a duel’ in the opening 25 minutes of a Champions League game against Feyenoord and ‘remained unmoved’ after Mike Maignan’s howler. Conceiçao was unhappy with Milan’s attitude in the opening phase of Wednesday’s Champions League game against Feyenoord. It’s the first leg of a Champions League knockout playoff. Conceiçao reaction to Maignan howler and how Milan upset their coach vs Feyenoord Igor Paixao gave the home side the lead in the first half with a shot that…
“Nuno didn’t want it” – Exeter City boss Gary Caldwell drops Nottingham Forest claim after FA Cup classic Gary Caldwell Nuno Espirito Santo It took 150 minutes, but Nottingham Forest finally saw off Exeter City to make it into the FA Cup Fifth Round on Tuesday night. Josh Magennis put the home side in front to get St James Park rocking before Ramón Sosa levelled things up after a quarter of an hour. Forest then took the lead through a neat turn and finish from Taiwo Awoniyi with eight minutes to go until half-time, and it looked like the bigger…
Tottenham Hotspur has been given the go-ahead to build a new training ground despite campaigners arguing it would destroy a park. The football club plans to fence off a section of Whitewebbs Park in Enfield, north London, and build a new women’s academy, with 11 pitches and a new clubhouse. There were 296 objections sent to Enfield Council, with many comments about the loss of green space and the impact on wildlife in the area. Objectors to the plans included The Woodland Trust. Enfield Council decided to grant a 25-year lease to the football club, and said the development would…
Georgia Bulldogs head coach Kirby Smart was likely wearing kelly green during Super Bowl Sunday. While Georgia had players on both the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs rosters, Philly has a strong track record of targeting former Dawgs in recent drafts. Former Georgia players like Jalen Carter, Nolan Smith and Kelee Ringo played key roles in the Eagles winning the Super Bowl. Ex-Georgia wideout Mecole Hardman was also on the Chiefs roster. As On3.com’s Andy Staples noted, the Super Bowl became a massive recruiting video for Smart and the Bulldogs. Georgia is taking full advantage of the Eagles’ victory…
Tottenham Hotspur could look to sign star defender Cristian Romero down to a blockbuster new deal in the coming weeks, according to reports – with the Argentine potentially being set to become the club’s highest-paid player thanks to his performances at centre-back in recent years at the north London outfit. Romero joined Tottenham in the 2021-22 season from Atalanta, making 112 appearances for the club, including seven goals in all competitions – and with interest from elsewhere, Ange Postecoglou could look to tie his star man down to a new deal to keep him at the club. Report: Tottenham…
We’re two rounds and six matches into this year’s Six Nations and a major narrative thread remains conspicuous by its absence. We’ve had debates around Irish fly-halves, England’s fitness standards, Scotland’s mettle and French goats, but we’ve not had the anticipated vitriolic rants and spittle-laden tirades concerning 6-2 bench splits and the death of rugby’s values. Which is odd considering this pearl-clutching was front and centre last year, and the year before, and pretty much every year since 2019 when Rassie Erasmus had the gall to amplify the Springboks’ strengths and stack his bench with burly forwards. The crescendo of swooning hot takes went…
AFC Wimbledon’s newest recruit Osman Foyo certainly looks like a formidable prospect following his performances in the National League South for Chelmsford City in the first half of this season. The forward has got pace to burn and seems to be powerful and strong too. However, Wimbledon will be his first step into full-time professional men’s football, and because of that, it may take him some time to get up to speed. One of the last times the Dons took a gamble on a speedy winger, Dylan Connolly, it did not turn out too well for the club or the player. The…
Bulls hooker Akker van der Merwe’s dream to represent the Springboks are still alive and well, despite heading into his golden playing years. The 33-year-old made his Test debut back in 2018 against Wales when Rassie Erasmus took the reigns from Allister Coetzee in a 20-22 defeat in Washington DC. He went on to play two further Tests in a victorious series against Eddie Jones’ England at the time – with all three of his Test appearances coming off the bench. Now seven years later, ‘the angry warthog’ as he’s fondly known made it clear that he came back to…
Mathys Tel posts two words on Instagram after losing 4-0 on his Tottenham debut last night Tottenham Hotspur crashed out of the Carabao Cup after losing 4-0 against Liverpool at Anfield. Ange Postecoglou’s side went into the game on Thursday night with a 1-0 lead from the first leg. That was a big advantage, but the players barely showed any desire to win the second leg. Tottenham looked nothing like their usual attacking selves. They sat back for large parts and invited continuous pressure from the hosts, who took complete advantage. Spurs are out of the cup now, but their fans…
