If you want a neat encapsulation of this Reading side at the moment, you’ll find it in the Royals’ six February games. Having lost at AFC Wimbledon, Leam Richardson’s team secured back-to-back wins over Wigan Athletic and Wycombe Wanderers, then consecutive draws against Bolton Wanderers and Port Vale, before ending the month on a victorious […]
There will be no Galatasaray fans present at Anfield for the second leg of Liverpool FC’s UEFA Champions League Round of 16 knockout tie.

The Washington Huskies have made a habit this year of coming up short against good opponents due to limited offensive options. Zoom Diallo and Hannes Steinbach have been excellent, but haven’t received enough support from the rest of the roster. On Wednesday night, Diallo and Steinbach were so good that they didn’t need much support. […]
So this is what can happen when we don’t shoot ourselves in the foot! The stats have shown that not only are Chelsea the best team in the Premier League in terms of xG generated, but we are one of the very best, full stop …but only at full strength, 11-v-11. So as long as […]
Lamine Yamal has shared his thoughts on Barcelona’s exit from the Copa del Rey in midweek against Atletico with a new message on social media.

Funny old month, is February. It’s literally only three days fewer than January but every year, without fail, it just flies by. Now here we are, stepping into March with only 12 games of the season left already. How did that happen? As ever, I will take it upon myself to review the month that […]
Every season has a moment when everything hangs in the balance—when confidence wavers, pressure mounts, and belief is tested. In 1943, that moment arrived when Notre Dame lined up against an Iowa Pre-Flight team that hadn’t forgotten the past and had no intention of backing down. What unfolded wasn’t simply a matchup of unbeaten teams […]
Barcelona boss Hansi Flick took a check on young defender Xavi Espart in training on Wednesday after seeing Alejandro Balde and Jules Kounde sidelined through injury.

It’s been 26 days since the Spurs last played in their home venue of the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, TX. Sure, they had a couple of “home” games in Austin to break up the annual Rodeo Road Trip a bit, but that still counts as travel and not sleeping in their own beds, […]

This is the big one. The Utah Jazz and Washington Wizards. Scroll all the way down the NBA standings, and you should be able to find these teams representing some of the very worst either conference has to offer. It’s an elderly goldfish vs a geriatric turtle. It’s coughing baby vs sneezing baby. It’s the […]
It probably was not the exact start Joe Musgrove had in mind for his return to the mound in the San Diego Padres’ 2-2 tie with Great Britain at the Peoria Sports Complex on Wednesday, but it was positive. He got one out in the first inning, allowed a run and was taken out with […]
As the rumors and signs that Kyler Murray may sign with the Minnesota Vikings after he is released next week by the Arizona Cardinals heat up (the Vikings are the clear favorite to land Murray in betting markets), questions arise about Murray and his fit with the Vikings’ offense, his commitment to his craft, and […]
The California trip got off to a thud of a start with a 5-1 loss in Anaheim as the Islanders could not get much going and could not finish nor get better looks against the Ducks’ backup-backup goalie. Ville Husso made 42 saves, but the game really turned in the first period as the Islanders […]

Rutgers baseball earned a 5-1 victory over Stony Brook in its midweek home opener. The Scarlet Knights’ home opener was originally scheduled for last Tuesday, March 3rd, against Georgetown, but that game was canceled due to inclement weather, leading to the athletic department adding this game instead and using it as the home opener. The […]
The Carolina Hurricanes got a hat trick from Nikolaj Ehlers and defeated the Vancouver Canucks, 6-4 on Wednesday night at Rogers Arena. It was a tight game at the end as Ehlers netted his last goal into an empty net with just 14 seconds left. It was his second hat trick of the season and […]
BOSTON — For the first time in two years, when Xavier Tillman took the TD Garden parquet for his pregame shooting, he wasn’t donning Celtics green. Instead, the 26-year-old forward wore Hornets blue, making his return to Boston for the first time since he was unexpectedly traded to the Charlotte Hornets last month. And, from […]
Want to have your say on all things Sunderland? Drop us a line and we’ll publish your views! [email protected] Dear Roker Report, I can’t believe the pathetic, over-the-top reactions coming from Leeds because we did a number on them. I honestly don’t think I’ve ever heard such nonsense and amount of excuses in the entire […]
It’s perhaps an obvious baseball truism but when you pitch well and hit home runs, you’re going to win a lot of baseball games. Team Australia did precisely that Wednesday night at the World Baseball Classic, tossing a shutout and hitting a couple of huge round-trippers en route to a tournament-opening win over Chinese Taipei […]
Who knew such creativity could be found so close to home? It’s now getting to the point in the season where a lot of managers have given up on their FPL. To be honest, we can’t really blame them. From that random Calvert-Lewin 7-9-6-9-13-8 point run to Bruno Fernandes’ untimely injury in December, it’s proven […]
