Watford boss Gracia plays down Deeney wind-up celebrationby Paul Vegas10 months agoSend to a friendShare the loveWatford boss Javi Gracia hailed goalscorer Troy Deeney after victory over West Ham.The Watford captain slammed home a first-half penalty and Gerard Deulofeu added a late second to stun West Ham 2-0 and scupper their bid to win five matches on the spin.Deeney celebrated his successful spot-kick by punching the corner flag out of the ground in front of the West Ham supporters.”What I saw was that after the goal he was running to the corner,” Gracia said.”I don’t know what he said. I can’t tell you if it’s a good or bad celebration, I often see players running into the corner.”I like the way he plays, his commitment, all the things he does day by day. Like all the players he maybe makes mistakes but he is our captain and an important player for us.” About the authorPaul VegasShare the loveHave your say
TagsTransfersAbout the authorPaul VegasShare the loveHave your say Kenyon consortium to drop Newcastle takeover bidby Paul Vegas10 months agoSend to a friendShare the lovePeter Kenyon’s consortium is set to drop their takeover bid of Newcastle.The Sun says his offer is still £100million adrift of Mike Ashley’s asking price.Former Manchester United and Chelsea chief Kenyon has come up with a way of increasing the original £200m he and his consortium have at their disposal.But extraordinarily, for owner Ashley to get the £300m he wants, Newcastle would have to qualify for the Champions League in the next decade.Kenyon has been working with the American Rockerfeller Capital Management to raise extra cash but the additional £100m would depend on the club reaching certain goals.One of them would be to finish in the Prem top four within ten years.Ashley has rejected that suggestion, wanting all the money up front. 
RB Leipzig coach Nagelsmann has dig at Everton over Lookman treatmentby Paul Vegasa month agoSend to a friendShare the loveRB Leipzig coach Julien Nagelsmann has had a dig at Everton over their summer arrival Ademola Lookman.The 21-year-old has made just one substitute appearance since returning to Leipzig in July.“Some (new signings) still need a bit of development time because they did not have the regular game time at their previous clubs,” Nagelsmann told Kicker.“Experience has shown that newcomers usually take a little longer to get along with what I want.“We have many video sequences with text attached. And then it is not easy if you can’t speak the language yet.“With a player like Ademola Lookman, who played very little at Everton, it takes more time than with Christopher Nkunku, who made 29 games at PSG last year. That’s completely normal.” About the authorPaul VegasShare the loveHave your say

About the authorFreddie TaylorShare the loveHave your say Rice demands West Ham response against Sheffield Utdby Freddie Taylora day agoSend to a friendShare the loveWest Ham United star Declan Rice wants to see his team put in a great performance against Sheffield United.The Hammers were disappointed to lose out against Everton on Saturday in the early kickoff.But they know that getting back to winning form is crucial if they want to challenge for a European position in the league.”We know we need to perform better than we did at the weekend,” Rice explained to the club website. “You have to be honest and it was shocking, we let the fans down, we let ourselves down.”We reviewed the game and watching it back was tough because we all know we’re not those players. We could have played so much better. That’s in the past now, we’ll look forward to Saturday because there’s no better way to get over that than another game at home when we’ll try to get the three points.”One win puts us back towards fifth, sixth position. We need to stay positive and we need everyone behind us on Saturday to be that twelfth man and push us on.”Sheffield United have performed well – they’ve beaten Arsenal, drawn with Chelsea, narrowly lost to Liverpool so we know it’s going to be tough for us. “But we’re the home team on Saturday and it’s massive that we go out there and put on a performance. Especially after the Everton game it’s going to be key that we get three points.” 
Streamable/Krusty Sox SportsPaul Finebaum is in hot water over his comments earlier in the week about the Colin Kaepernick protest situation.On Monday, when the entire sports world was enveloped in debate over the 49ers quarterback’s protest of the national anthem over concerns with the oppression of African-Americans, Finebaum stated that said oppression does not exist.Awful Announcing has a clip of Finebaum’s Monday statement.
On Tuesday, Finebaum doubled down during a segment of College Football Live, and got into a pretty heated debate with Joey Galloway.
Twitter/@OTLonESPNThe Notre Dame academic scandal ruling came down yesterday, and the school has to vacate its 2012 and 2013 wins. ESPN’s Paul Finebaum says the program “sold its soul.”Finebaum, whose radio show is simulcast on SEC Network, weighed in on the Notre Dame issue on Outside The Lines today, and issued a scathing opinion on the state of the Fighting Irish. He says the once-proud program “sold its soul” in an attempt to return to the top of the sport.”@NotreDame has simply sold its soul to try to win more football games…” – Paul Finebaum pic.twitter.com/O0MhpwgmJt— Outside The Lines (@OTLonESPN) November 23, 2016The vacated wins have a pretty significant impact on Notre Dame’s place among the all-time winningest programs. Before the penalty, Notre Dame was second in all-time wins. It falls all the way to fifth without the 2012 and 2013 seasons counted. In my opinion, vacating wins is an ultimately vacuous penalty for any program, but we’re sure some Notre Dame fans aren’t thrilled by the development.Not every ESPN college football analyst is as harsh as Finebaum with regard to the Fighting Irish. Earlier, Kirk Herbstreit discussed head coach’s Brian Kelly’s hot seat status with the Chicago Tribune, and said that he believes that one bad season is clouding the good that he has done for the Fighting Irish program. However, with everything else that has gone on off the field during Kelly’s tenure, including this Notre Dame academic scandal, there are some serious questions that can be raised about the state of the football program.
If you’re a college football prognosticator, it is never a good thing when your pick for the national championship loses in Week 1.That’s what happened to ESPN’s Desmond Howard though. Howard’s faith in his alma mater did not pay off.Last week, Howard picked Michigan to win it all. Many criticized the pick, partially because Howard went to Michigan and partially because the Wolverines weren’t regarded as one of the top national title contenders by many pundits.Howard’s playoff field was Alabama, Clemson, Michigan and West Virginia.Desmond Howard just now …. “Michigan wins it all” pic.twitter.com/S1P80KoIKz— angelique (@chengelis) August 25, 2018Well, Michigan lost to Notre Dame last night. That doesn’t eliminate Jim Harbaugh’s team from the College Football Playoff race, but it makes things exceptionally hard.Michigan will have to run the table in the regular season, beating Michigan State, Ohio State, Penn State and Wisconsin in the process. Then, they’ll have to likely beat Wisconsin again in the Big Ten title game.The odds of that happening are pretty slim. It is just too difficult a schedule to deal with without slipping up once or twice.That’s bad news for Desmond Howard.
CLEMSON, SC – SEPTEMBER 17: A general view of the start of the Miami Hurricanes against the Clemson Tigers game at Memorial Stadium on September 17, 2005 in Clemson, South Carolina. (Photo by Craig Jones/Getty Images)It hasn’t been an ideal start for Trevor Lawrence and the Clemson Tigers, as their offense has mustered just seven points in the first half. Nonetheless, the top team in the ACC still has time to mount a comeback.Right now, the Syracuse Orange lead 16-7 through two quarters, in large part because of their defense. They’ve kept Lawrence to just 93 passing yards so far and have done a great job of forcing pressure in the pocket.While the Tigers have looked anemic on offense, ESPN still believes they’ll improve to 5-0 on the season.ESPN’s Football Power Index projections currently give Clemson a 50.3 percent chance to win the game.Obviously, the result of this game will rely heavily on the health of Lawrence, who left the game in the second quarter. The backup quarterback for this game is Chase Brice, after Kelly Bryant announced he’ll transfer.If Dabo Swinney’s offense will be without their quarterback, Travis Etienne will have to shoulder the load.The game is available on ABC.
CHARLOTTE, NC – SEPTEMBER 01: A detailed view of a helmet worn by the Tennessee Volunteers before their game against the West Virginia Mountaineers at Bank of America Stadium on September 1, 2018 in Charlotte, North Carolina. (Photo by Streeter Lecka/Getty Images)Tennessee head coach Jeremy Pruitt got some bad news this week. Defensive tackle Emmit Gooden, one of the top linemen on the team, is poised to miss the entire 2019 season.According to GoVols247, Gooden suffered a season-ending significant knee injury on Tuesday. Pruitt told the media that Gooden will undergo surgery next week and will hopefully return in the spring.“He’ll continue with going to school and get ready to come back next spring and next fall,” Pruitt said.Gooden recorded 33 tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss and a sack in ten games while averaging only 20 snaps a game.BREAKING: Jeremy Pruitt announces defensive lineman Emmit Gooden will miss the season with a knee injury.Huge blow for #Vols to lose their top defensive lineman. (FREE) https://t.co/cTK5d5X7zw— Patrick Brown (@pbrown247) August 7, 2019 A Tennessee native, Gooden joined the Vols in 2018 after spending the previous season in junior college. Coming out of high school in 2016, 247Sports rated him as a four-star prospect and the No. 316 player in the nation.Losing Gooden is a big blow for a Tennessee team that is very thin at the position.Pruitt may have to give a lot of reps to the several defensive linemen they picked up in the Class of 2019 to compensate.Last year the Vols went 5-7 in Pruitt’s first year at the helm. They have not had a winning season since 2016.Tennessee is largely expected to be an SEC cellar-dweller in 2019. Pruitt will need to come up with a little bit of magic to scratch hit wins.

Shweta Ganjoo New DelhiMarch 23, 2019UPDATED: March 26, 2019 09:21 IST HIGHLIGHTSBSNL has introduced two data plans for IPL 2019 lovers.Rs 199 pack offers 1GB data per day for 28 days.Rs 499 pack offers 1GB data per day for 90 days.Indian Premier League (IPL) 2019 is set to kick off at the M A Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Saturday. Ahead of one of biggest sports events of the year, Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has introduced new data plans for its prepaid users that are aimed to help them get timely updates of the cricket matches and enjoy the event.According to a report by Telecom Talk, BSNL has introduced two new data plans, one worth Rs 199 and the other worth Rs 499. These data plans, apart from giving prepaid users daily data benefits and unlimited voice calling, will also give them free alerts about the ongoing matches in the from of SMSs.Now the details about the two newly introduced data plans. As far as the plan worth Rs 199 is concerned, it offers BSNL’s prepaid users 1GB data per day and it comes with a validy of 28 days. This means that in total, the Rs 199 plan offers 28GB data for a month. Apart from the data, the Rs 199 plan also offers its users unlimited voice calls, which means that if users travel from their home circle to any other place (which is outside their home circle), they would be charged at standard rates. This pack, as mentioned earlier, ships with free cricket SMS updates of the ongoing matches and it also offers free cricket PRBT or the personal ring back tone.The Rs 499 plan, on the other hand, packs better benefits than the Rs 199 pack. While this pack too offers just 1GB data per day, it comes with a validity of 90 days or 3 months. This means that BSNL’s prepaid users who opt for this pack will get 90GB data for 90 days. In addition to this, they would also get free cricket PRBT and free cricket SMS alerts. But that not it.advertisementThe Rs 499 data plan will also offer users unlimited voice calling benefit along with added benefits of national roaming including in Delhi and Mumbai. Additionally, it will also offer users 100 SMSs per day – something that was missing in the Rs 199 pack.Both the data packs are availableacross all of BSNL’s 20 telecom circles in India starting today.ALSO READ: | Jio, BSNL are top gainers in January 2019: Jio adds 9.3 million new connections, Vodafone loses 3.5 millionALSO READ: | Vodafone is offering 50 per cent discount on Amazon Prime subscription for prepaid users: How to avail itALSO READ: | Reliance Jio may launch 5G JioPhone in India after network is ready by 2021Get real-time alerts and all the news on your phone with the all-new India Today app. Download from Post your comment Do You Like This Story?

Huawei Mate 20 X 5G confirmed to launch, may come with smaller batteryThe Huawei Mate 20 X 5G is expected to be largely similar to last year’s Mate 20 X, but with a 5G chipset and smaller battery.advertisement Sanket Vijayasarathy New DelhiApril 19, 2019UPDATED: April 22, 2019 08:19 IST Picture Courtesy: WeiboHIGHLIGHTSA 5G version of last year’s Mate 20 X is in the works.The Mate 20 X 5G is expected to come with a smaller 4,200mAh battery compared to the Mate 20 X.The Mate 20 X 5G could launch after the Mate X foldable phone goes on sale in June.Earlier this week, China Unicom happened to reveal official renders and retail packaging of the Mate 20 X 5G. Now, Huawei has confirmed that a 5G version of last year’s Mate 20 X is indeed in the works, but there is no word yet on its exact date of launch. The Mate 20 X was launched last year along with the Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro. It is the largest device in the Mate 20 series, touting a massive phablet-like 7.2-inch display and a large 5,000mAh battery, among other things.The renders revealed by telecom operator China Unicorn suggest the design and specs of the Mate 20 X 5G will be similar to the non-5G version. It is expected to sport the same 7.2-inch OLED display with a waterdrop notch, the same Kirin 980 SoC and Leica triple camera setup as the regular Mate 20 X. The biggest difference, of course, is that the upcoming Mate 20 X will come with a 5G chipset, which will most likely be Huawei’s Balong 5000 modem.Reportedly, another change in the specs is that the Mate 20 X 5G will come with a smaller 4,200mAh battery. It will be interesting to see how much this would compromise the battery life considering the phone is expected to come with the same phablet-sized display. However, Huawei might make up for it by offering 40W SuperCharge fast charging support for the upcoming device.The Mate 20 X 5G will not be the first Huawei phone to support 5G as that title belongs to the Huawei Mate X. To recall, the Mate X is Huawei’s first commercial foldable smartphone that is due to launch in select markets later this year. The Mate X has been confirmed to launch in India as well, although an exact launch date is yet to be revealed.advertisementChina Unicom revealed in a post on Weibo that a total of 15 5G phones can be expected to launch this year from 12 brands that include Huawei, Oppo, Vivo, Xiaomi and more. OnePlus and HMD Global have already confirmed in the past that they will launch 5G phones in 2019. OnePlus may just be the next brand as it gears up to launch the OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 7 Pro in May.ALSO READ | Huawei P30 Pro review: A camera powerhouse that is also a great smartphoneGet real-time alerts and all the news on your phone with the all-new India Today app. Download from Post your comment Do You Like This Story?

India finished with only 224 but Kohli marshaled his troops wonderfully well to clinch an 11-run win over the spirited Afghanistan team.India vs Afghanistan, World Cup 2019: Report | HighlightsAfghanistan gave India a massive scare on Saturday and they were going steady in their chase, making sure they didn’t lose wickets in clusters.Kohli, in search of early wickets, went for an early DRS call in the third over after an LBW appeal from Mohammed Shami against Afghanistan opener Hazratullah Zazai was turned down.Shami bowled a full-length straight delivery to Zazai and hit him on his pads before going up in appeal. However, umpire Aleem Dar wasn’t interested.However, Kohli opted for the DRS after discussing the call with the bowler and wicketkeeper MS Dhoni. Nonetheless, replays showed the ball pitched outside the line of the leg-stump, not much by only a whisker. The third umpire ruled the decision as umpire’s call and the on-field decision of not outstayed.Virat Kohli wasn’t quite satisfied with the replays and went straight up to the umpire and pleaded to him with folded hands.Kohli’s animated gesture has sparked a meme fest on social media with cricket fans using the viral photo to depict several real-life relatable moments.advertisementWhen traffic police catches me…#INDvAFG pic.twitter.com/xtZ6lkZu3gTweet Potato (@newshungree) June 22, 2019Students in college for attendance#CWC19 #Kohli #INDvAFG pic.twitter.com/KVkgrNIu3MSachin | ????

Next Ajantha Mendis retires from cricket as only bowler with 6-wicket hauls in Tests, ODIs and T20IsSri Lankan spinner Ajantha Mendis has announced his retirement from all formats of the game after not having played for his country in almost 4 years.advertisement Ajay Tiwari New DelhiAugust 28, 2019UPDATED: August 28, 2019 22:11 IST Ajantha Mendis has announced his retirement from cricket at the age of 34 (Getty Images)HIGHLIGHTSAjantha Mendis has announced his retirement from cricket at the age of 34Mendis played 145 internationals for Sri LankaHowever, Mendis hasn’t played for his country since 2015Sri Lankan mystery spinner Ajantha Mendis who took the world by a storm with his ‘carrom ball’ has bid goodbye to all forms of cricket at the ripe age of 34. Mendis last played for Sri Lanka on December 26, 2015, against New Zealand in Christchurch.Mendis announced his arrival on the world stage with a spell of 6/13 against India in the Asia Cup 2008 final, bamboozling the opposition star batsmen with his mystery balls. Later the same year and against the same opposition, Mendis broke the record of the most wickets taken in a 3-Test debut series by picking a mind-boggling 26 wickets.Mendis later went on to become the fastest ever to 50 ODI wickets and till date remains the only bowler to take 6-wicket-hauls in T20s twice. Another unique record that Mendis still holds is being the only bowler in the sport’s history to have picked 6-wicket-hauls in all the 3 formats of the game.Congratulations menda on a short but great career.Unfortunately injuries kept u away but god is kind and will open plenty of avenues to you. Stay blessed brotha pic.twitter.com/ikbrmRjPg9 Angelo Mathews (@Angelo69Mathews) August 28, 2019Ajantha Mendis the inventor of the carrom ball, has called it a day from all cricket. He was a unique cricketer and likeable personality. Have a happy retired life! Roshan Abeysinghe (@RoshanCricket) August 28, 2019 JUST IN Ajantha Mendis has retired from all forms of cricket!The Sri Lankan spinner took 288 wickets for his country across the three formats. pic.twitter.com/ZwABGqvRWfadvertisement ICC (@ICC) August 28, 2019Even though Mendis was Sri Lanka’s leading spinner during their 2009 and 2012 T20 World Cup campaigns, his career took a dip soon afterward as batsmen started reading him much better and injuries played their part too. His career hit possibly its lowest point when he was carted for 49 runs in 5 overs by New Zealand opening pair Brendon McCullum and Martin Guptill in what turned out to be his last international outing.In all, Mendis played 19 Tests taking 70 wickets at an average of 34.77. In 87 ODIs Mendis picked 152 scalps while also getting 66 wickets in 39 T20Is. Mendis continued to be a regular part of Sri Lanka’s domestic circuit but his bowling reserves have been on such a decline that he has been playing primarily as a batsman in recent matches.Having seen various highs and lows in his short career, Mendis should still take pride in the fact that he gave a number of top batsmen a few sleepless nights at the peak of his career.Also Read | Marais Erasmus, Ruchira Palliyaguruge and Kumar Dharmasena to officiate in last 2 Ashes TestsAlso Read | Jasprit Bumrah rekindles memories of our prime, he could’ve been one of us: Curtly AmbroseFor sports news, updates, live scores and cricket fixtures, log on to indiatoday.in/sports.

Home theater boxes are in an awkward transitionary period right now; almost like the VHS to DVD switch that happened years ago, but worse. It’s clear that streaming media from the Internet is the way of the future, but streaming services like Netflix and Hulu haven’t been able to match the variety and availability of physical disks, which leaves savvy consumers in a bit of a quandary. Do you buy a media streamer that can’t play discs, or do you buy a disc player that can’t connect to the web?A handful of manufacturers have offered up devices that attempt to bridge this gap, but none can match the style and elegance of the Sony S5100.With it’s edgy, angular design and matte black finish, this thing looks like it could’ve fallen out the cockpit of a stealth fighter jet. But the modern look isn’t without purpose — we get the impression that the designers are making a statement here. The angled top suggests it can’t be stacked on, can’t be topped, and will therefore always enjoy a prominent spot in your home theater setup. In essence, it’s the last box you’ll ever need.What’s best is that the S5100 has the guts to back up that statement. Sporting an impressive list of specs, it may very well be the last box you ever need to purchase. In addition to the blue-beam optical drive that can play your DVDs and Blu-Rays, it also has built in WiFi, app support, NFC, and 3D playback. As long as smell-o-vision isn’t invented anytime soon, it’ll probably remain relevant for years into the future.Sony hasn’t yet announced an official release date, but expect the S5100 to roll out sometime this spring.
