Jose Mourinho: Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is loyal and believes I’m still the right man for the job

December 8, 2015

Under-fire Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho insists he expects Roman Abramovich to resist growing calls to make him the 10th casualty of the Russian’s spell as owner. The Blues have made a disastrous start to the season and could crash out of the Champions League on Wednesday night against Porto but Mourinho believes that Abramovich is [...]

December 7, 2015

Sergio Garcia’s return to form revives hopes of a long-awaited Major title

December 7, 2015

Christmas came early for Sergio Garcia on Sunday, when the Spaniard ended a wait of almost two years for a title by winning Vietnam’s Ho Tram Open on the Asian Tour. He didn’t do it the easy way, squandering a two-shot lead with a double bogey at the 17th hole, but recovered his nerve to [...]
FBI investigating whether Fifa president Sepp Blatter knew about $100m bribery scandal, says new report

December 6, 2015

Embattled world football chief Sepp Blatter’s grip on power faces a new threat after it was alleged that the FBI is investigating the Fifa president’s possible involvement in a $100m bribery scandal. Federal agents are probing illicit payments made by now-defunct sports marketing company ISL to officials, including Blatter’s predecessor Joao Havelange, according to the [...]
Kyle Edmund wins $250,000 and doubles his season’s prize money in the space of three hours

December 6, 2015

British youngster Kyle Edmund’s landmark week culminated in lucrative fashion on Saturday night when he more than doubled his 2015 earnings with victory at the inaugural Tie Break Tens event in London.

Solid Stoke will be hard to break down for inconsistent Manchester City

December 3, 2015

Will Manchester City come to regret not taking charge of the Premier League title race in its formative stages? They sit top but the heights they’ve hit in their nine wins from 14 have been undermined by some shaky performances. Manuel Pellegrini’s men lost at home to West Ham, were torn apart by Tottenham, and [...]
Liverpool revival under Jurgen Klopp to continue at Newcastle’s expense

December 3, 2015

Few Newcastle fans will be rubbing their hands at the prospect of facing Liverpool on Sunday. Since their uplifting 6-2 defeat of Norwich six games ago, the Magpies have shipped 11 goals and scored just two. The five they conceded to Crystal Palace last time out were hardly a fillip either. Little wonder, then, that [...]
No Planning has the attributes needed for Becher stamina test

December 3, 2015

The build-up to the 2016 Grand National begins at Aintree on Saturday afternoon with the Becher Chase (1.40pm) run over the famous spruce-topped fences. Even though this race is over a mile and a quarter less than the National itself, it’s still set to be a stamina-sapping slog as the ground is already soft, with a [...]
Tingle Creek: Tiara can produce another sparkling display at Sandown

December 3, 2015

The Tingle Creek (3.00pm) was robbed of its star performer when Willie Mullins’ high class chaser Un De Sceaux was ruled out on Wednesday. It’s a real shame that he won’t line up, although, as he was 4/7, the race is a much more attractive betting proposition. He is now a best-priced 7/4 favourite for the [...]
