Indians Look To Sweep Royals For First Time This Season
- August 21, 2017
It's a awful time to lose a star pitcher, especially with the Nationals positioned to make a deep run in the postseason, but their 14-game cushion in the NL East should buy them some time while Scherzer's on the mend. Odorizzi walked five and served up two home runs while falling to 6-7 with 4.74 ERA this season. Roberto Perez delivered the clutch blow, a two-out, two-strike, two-run single in the fourth inning that scored Jay Bruce and Carlos Santana. (more...)

Real Madrid coach Zidane: I want a big year for Bale
- August 20, 2017
Rafael Benitez obviously knows a thing or two about the Real Madrid squad, but surely he must also know it would be hard for Newcastle United to take any of the club's players, fringe or otherwise. "I just said that the punishment was a little too much and that was all". Five games without Cristiano is a lot. And now Real want to tie Asensio down to a new deal that will see his wages go up by £920,000 (€1million) a year. (more...)

Manchester United thrash Swansea 4-0
- August 20, 2017
Mourinho spoke about "letting the horses run freely" at the Liberty Stadium - a stark contrast to the angry dinner lady rhetoric of Louis van Gaal - and you could see the benefits of this mindset oozing from every player. The sooner we do it the better, but it could possibly go later in the window. Despite raucous home support, Swansea seldom threatened, always struggling to deal with United's power and pace.

Rob Gronkowski plays in preseason for first time since 2012
- August 20, 2017
Gronkowski has not played in preseason since 2012. "But we got the ball back down there and we punched it in and that's all we can ask for". "I think he'll be a good player, but I think this is just one step along the way", O'Brien said. Running Back D'Onta Foreman turned some heads in the Texans 27-23 win over the Patriots . One reason to be concerned: The team is thin at defensive end after top draft pick Derek Rivers sustained a season-ending torn ACL on Wednesday. (more...)

Armstrong signs new Cetlic deal to end speculation
- August 20, 2017
However, some were critical over Armstrong's handling of the contract situation, which has dragged on in recent weeks and months to bring uncertainty to Celtic.

Against Tottenham, no. I have two wonderful strikers, two No. 9s, for example, Sergio. Ones to watch - It's more of a case of who not to watch with the number of superstars gracing the sky blue, but I'll give it a go. I have been a manager for years and I don't have to announce to all the managers in the world about the space in behind.
