Is the Bangladesh dressing room a better place without some of the senior – even iconic – players around?

BBC pundit Chris Sutton has urged Arsenal to sign Bournemouth ace Dominic Solanke in January to reinforce their attacking department. After losing to West Ham United last time out, the Gunners have lost their league leader status, sitting two points behind the table topper Liverpool. It has widely been suggested that Arsenal need to sign a prolific goal-scorer to win the Premier League title this season and the defeat versus the Hammers showed exactly why they need a new striker as despite taking 30 attempts, they couldn’t find the back of the net. Gabriel Jesus was deployed in the centre-forward…
John Dodson doesn’t hold grudges, but he definitely keeps receipts. Ahead of his return on New Year’s Eve in Japan, the veteran flyweight found peace with his new fighting home in RIZIN along with becoming champion in BKFC after he was unceremoniously released from the UFC.

Sadly, after falling to Merab Dvalisivhili in 2020, Dodson was released from the promotion after spending nearly a…

Here’s a subjective ranking of the top five for New Year’s Eve: 1. King Kelly (1857)The only Hall of Famer born on this day, Michael Joseph Kelly played from 1878-93 and was, according to his SABR biography, “baseball’s first matinee idol.” A drawing card for the Chicago White Stockings (today’s Cubs) for seven seasons, Kelly was sold to the Boston Beaneaters (now the Braves) for $10,000 in what is considered baseball’s first “big-money” deal. An aggressive baserunner who stole at least 50 bases in five consecutive seasons, he was known as the “King of Baseball,” leading to his royal moniker.…
