Karl-Anthony Towns seems to be catching most of the heat from Tuesday’s defeat, and understandably so. KAT played poorly, especially in the second half. He converted just two of his 12 FG attempts, finishing the contest with eight points (first time he’s scored fewer than nine points since arriving in New York), 12 rebounds and one solitary assist (vs. three turnovers). If we were going to cut KAT some slack, it’s important to point out two factors working against the big man. First and foremost, he’s learning an entirely new offensive system. Brown is the third different head coach Towns…

The governor’s office says the Trump administration is putting millions of Americans at risk of hunger by refusing to fund food assistance benefits, despite the Department of Agriculture (USDA) having funds to continue supporting the program next month. More than five million Californians stand to lose critical access to food assistance. While Donald Trump parades around the world trying to repair the economic damage he’s done with his incompetence, he’s denying food to millions of Americans who will go hungry next month,” said Newsom in a statement. “It’s cruel and speaks to his basic lack of humanity. He doesn’t…
Raphinha has hit out at Barcelona team-mate Lamine Yamal for giving “Real Madrid extra motivation” ahead of the El Clasico. The Catalan giants went into the match two points behind arch-rivals Los Blancos with Barcelona able to leapfrog Real Madrid by winning at the Bernabeu. However, it wasn’t to be as Xabi Alonso’s side took all three points in a 2-1 win and build up a five-point gap over Hansi Flick’s men at the top of the La Liga table. Ad Real Madrid, riled up by Yamal’s pre-match comments, scored through Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham either side of a…
Moyes would likely use Kubo as an inverted winger who cuts inside to connect with the striker and attacking midfielder. That setup would let Ndiaye and Jack Grealish move between lines and create overloads on both wings. Kubo makes quick decisions and presses with intensity, matching Moyes’ demand for organised yet fast play. He has grown steadily in San Sebastián, and his skill in tight spaces fits the Premier League’s tempo. Everton like how he links midfield and attack without slowing play. Manchester United and Tottenham want his creativity, but Everton seem more eager for his energy. The Toffees have…
Brendan Rodgers’ departure from Celtic was as acrimonious as they come. A series of Celtic fan protests after a desperately poor summer window indicated a club in disharmony, whilst the Hoops boss was briefed against by his own higher-ups in the Scottish tabloids. In the end, Rodgers tendered his resignation out of nowhere. The abruptness of the announcement indicates that there is more to the story. A remarkable Dermot Desmond statement further complicated matters, completely assassinating Rodgers’ character and making previously internal tensions public. But what was life like for Rodgers in his final months at Parkhead? Further details of…
A fine Matty Cash goal was the difference between the two teams, with Man City unable to form a meaningful response despite an improved showing in the second half.A fine Matty Cash goal was the difference between the two teams, with Man City unable to form a meaningful response despite an improved showing in the second half.Keeping a clean sheet against Manchester City is no mean feat, but Aston Villa did just that on Sunday afternoon, restricting Erling Haaland in the process. It was something of a tactical masterclass from Unai Emery, with Aston Villa putting in an organised, compact…
After winning his first Clásico as Real Madrid coach, Xabi Alonso spoke to the media after a 2-1 win, with many questions focusing on the importance of the victory. The coach said, “it’s important. You yourselves are saying it. It’s not just the three points. We know that it’s still October and it’s early, that we have to work hard, work a lot. But we wanted good feelings and that’s how it was. We need a lot of what we saw today”.“We wanted to field the best-prepared team to compete in an important game. We countered the opponent well. We…
Barcelona have reportedly advised Lamine Yamal to cancel a planned interview with French streamer AmineMaTue on Tuesday after the weekend’s Clasico. Yamal was in the headlines before the game, due to some comments he made about Real Madrid, and was confronted by Dani Carvajal and Thibaut Courtois afterwards. According to Marca, Barca have now advised Yamal to step away from his latest interview “possibly to tone down all the media hype surrounding the Barça star right now.” There seems to be a feeling that absolutely anything Yamal does right now is being endlessly scrutinised by the media and it may…
