BBC Sport pundit Garth Crooks has tipped Chelsea to beat Arsenal to the signing of Brentford striker Ivan Toney during this summer’s transfer window. Toney recently returned to Premier League action for the Bees after an eight-month ban for breaching FA betting rules. He has had an immediate impact with 3 goals in just 4 league appearances, helping the club win 6 points in the process. With his contract expiring in June 2025, Brentford are more likely to sell him this summer. Crooks believes Arsenal should have snapped Toney when he was suspended as the striker would have cost half of…
Ray Longo is withholding full judgment when it comes to the video of Henry Cejudo parting ways with longtime coach Eric Albarracin ahead of UFC 298 and the former champ’s bout with Merab Dvalishvili, but the opposing head coach certainly believes Cejudo is doing it for attention. Longo, the head coach of Dvalishvili, brought up the situation during his weekly segment on the Anik & Florian Podcast, mentioning the scene during UFC 298 Countdown where Cejudo informed Albarracin he will not be in the corner this Saturday in Anaheim, Calif. Longo also would guess that the moment looks as phony…

Fritz was an incredible 23-4 in his last two seasons at Tulane, which included a victory against USC in the Cotton Bowl after the 2022 season. Fritz has long been a mentor for many in the industry, with his guidance and seminars a must-see for coaches at conventions. The two-time AAC coach of the…
Sam Amick: ‘The coaching situation remains I think worth monitoring. It feels like Darvin Ham is headed down not a great road for him if they don’t make serious noise in the playoffs. I don’t see anything happening there anytime soon, but if you asked me if like the connectivity is there, about a month after we reported that he, in essence, lost the locker room? Like no, I don’t think it’s there. And you see, I mean, forget LeBron guys when, when Darvin Ham makes a lineup change and Christian Wood is tweeting ‘LOL’, when you’re taking strays from…

England have whittled their team for the third Test down to 12, with Mark Wood in line to regain his place in the XI on a green-tinged Rajkot pitch.The tourists have played just one seamer in each of the first two Tests, with Wood getting the nod in the first match in Hyderabad before being replaced by James Anderson in the second at Visakhapatnam. Should England decide the conditions will be more amenable to seam, they will go in with two quicks for the first time this series, with one of the three spinners from the second Test making way.Unlike…
Bukayo Saka has admitted Arsenal wanted to send a message to their Premier League title contenders as they thrashed West Ham United 6-0 at the weekend.Having just beaten Liverpool 3-1 to keep their title hopes alive, the Gunners delivered an absolute masterclass as they mauled West Ham away from home to keep within two points of Jurgen Klopp’s side at the top of the table.Arsenal’s title challenge last season ended with a draw away to West Ham, in which Saka actually missed a crucial penalty, and the winger was keen to ensure there would be no repeat this time around.”We…
Matt Brown considers Henry Cejudo one of the best combat sports athletes of all-time, but he doesn’t like what he’s hearing out of the former two-division champ ahead of UFC 298. After previously stating that his upcoming fight against Merab Dvalishvili was do-or-die for his career, Cejudo then very publicly fired his head coach Eric Albarracin on UFC Countdown. It was an odd way to split with someone who’s been by his side for more than a decade, but Cejudo told Albarracin that he was “getting rid of specific coaches … and that’s you included.” Maybe it was all for…
