data-mm-id=”_d9i858chb”>Los Angeles Lakers fans are probably still hungover from the week of partying they did after capturing the first-ever In-Season Tournament crown so one can understand if their mental capacities are slightly dulled. Because of that we will be kind, gentle souls and not poke a single ounce of fun at these two bros who played what has to be the most shameful public game of Tic-Tac-Toe in recorded history during a timeout at Crypto dotcom Arena. The game involved shooting baskets to earn game pieces that could be used on a standard Tic-Tac-Toe board where the goal is getting three straight — horizontally, diagonally, or vertically. And on that part these two were pretty solid, opting to take the easy bunnies near the rim instead of firing for all three pieces at t…

It was a rowdy affair as an amped-up Biden contended with a crowd full of Republican hecklers, most notably Georgia's Marjorie Taylor Greene, who repeatedly ignored Speaker Mike Johnson's request to show decorum during the speech. In addition to being vocal throughout the evening, Greene also wore a MAGA hat and matching bright red blazer. So not only did Greene wear a hat to the State of the Union, but it was merch.

Chelsea owner Todd Boehly would risk a dressing room revolt at Stamford Bridge if he was to sack Mauricio Pochettino, with the players convinced he is not the problem .

Pochettino accused his players of giving up in , which leaves Chelsea facing an uphill task to qualify for Europe next season.

The best man-manager in the business

The Argentinian has consistently urged fans to be patient with his very expensively assembled but very young squad and The Sun claim the players are convinced he s the man for the job despite the growing pressure.

A source told The Sun: They are all buying into what Poch is trying to do. The problems at Chelsea are not all his fault. Some of the players think he is the best man-manager in the business.

If gets sacked it wo…

Man City have been warned that any appeals made against their 115 FFP charges are unlikely to succeed amid claims expulsion is on the table for Pep Guardiola s side.

Nottingham Forest failed in their appeal against their four-point deduction this week, and though Everton successfully reduced their total punishment of 17 points to eight, the appeal horse may well have bolted ahead of City s case.

Each of the 115 individual charges, dating back to 2009, will be heard by an independent panel before City are given an opportunity to appeal the final verdicts.

Still waiting on the case date

Premier League chief Richard Masters has insisted that the case against Man City over the alleged breaches of financial rules will resolve itself in the near future .

Aske…

Fabrizio Romano says the Chelsea squad were saddened by the club s decision to sack Mauricio Pochettino, with several players hinting they are upset through social media.

Pochettino was relieved of his duties on Tuesday after guiding to a sixth-place finish in the Premier League.

It was a very testing campaign for the Blues, with the Argentine s future being uncertain pretty much from his first day on the job.

Chelsea were lingering in mid-table for much of the season but a strong end to the season secured Europa League qualification, assuming Manchester United do not win the FA Cup.

The report disclosed further details of the civil war among Premier League clubs:

Some clubs may pursue compensation claims totalling more than £1billion against the English champions if they are found guilty of any or all of 115 Premier League charges for breaches of financial regulations. The clubs have sought legal advice and could pursue what they call “placing claims”, meaning compensation for not finishing above City in the league. The 115 charges are due to be heard at a separate hearing in November; City deny any wrongdoing relating to the charges.

There is an appetite among some clubs for the independent tribunal hearing the case concerning the 115 charges to not only sanction City with a heavy points deduction but also apply rules that enable the league …

Premier League side Man Utd are set to make an official offer today for Genoa goalkeeper Josep Martinez, according to reports.

The Red Devils had a terrible season in the Premier League with Erik ten Hag leading them to an eighth-placed finish, their worst in the Premier League era.

Despite rumours he would be sacked at the end of the season, a lack of suitable candidates and an FA Cup final victory over arch-rivals Man City saw Ten Hag keep his job.

And now new co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS are looking to give the Dutchman the tools he needs to have a successful 2024/25 season and beyond.

Belgian journalist Sacha Tavolieri claims that are set to make an official offer for Genoa goalkeeper Martinez to provide competition for Andre Onana.
