L.A. Rams CB Jalen Ramsey Miraculously Heals From “Back Injury”

October 17, 2019 By Leave a Comment

It’s nothing short of a medical miracle for Los Angeles Rams cornerback Jalen Ramsey. Just one day after he arrived in Los Angeles via trade from the Jacksonville Jaguars, Ramsey appeared on the Rams official injury report, stating that he missed the team’s practice session for “not injury related” reasons.

So that back injury which was serious enough to keep him out of three straight games while he was still with Jacksonville has apparently healed. Wow! It’s amazing- the healing powers of a trade!

Tottenham Hotspur Starting XI Prediction vs Watford FC

October 17, 2019 By Leave a Comment

There are a lot of reasons why Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino may have lost the dressing room, if indeed he has, but one is certainly well outside his jurisdiction. Spurs Chairman Daniel Levy refused to sanction the summer exit of the Spurs players who are under-performing and/or want out.

This stubbornness by the big boss has led to the dire straights that we currently see the team in. Last time out, in the shocking upset loss at Brighton, it really looked like Poch had lost the squad. Going up against the team that’s dead last in the league on Saturday, maybe things will be different. Let’s take a look at what lineup the Argentine may select.

Tottenham Hotspur Team News vs Watford FC: Son, Eriksen, Lloris

October 17, 2019 By 1 Comment

For a team that finished in the top four in England and runner-up in Europe last season, things have derailed quickly for Tottenham Hotspur. Last time out, a shocking upset at Brighton & Hove Albion, it seriously looked like many of the players had just given up on manager Mauricio Pochettino.

To make matters worse, goalkeeper Hugo Lloris went down early with a dislocated elbow, and now the Spurs captain is out of commission until the New Year. So now it’s Paulo Gazzaniga in between the sticks until 2020.

Chelsea FC Starting XI Prediction vs Newcastle United

October 17, 2019 By 3 Comments

Chelsea got off to a rough start this season, but they seem to be progressing along and finding their stride now. Things should only get better, at least in theory, with stellar young forward Callum Hudson-Odoi now being fully re-integrated into the mix.

He returned from the serious knee injury he suffered in April just before the international break, and he scored twice for the England U21s this week. He’s in line for a start on Saturday when the Blues host Newcastle United.

Chelsea FC Team News vs Newcastle: Pulisic, Kante, Christensen, Kovacic

October 17, 2019 By 1 Comment

Saturday’s Premier League clash between Newcastle United and Chelsea FC is a match up of two sides fighting hard for two very different qualifications. The Blues, level on points with fourth place Leicester City but behind on goal differential, are knocking on the door of the top four.

They’ll host the Magpies who are looking to keep their heads above the relegation waters. Fresh off a victory over Manchester United, they should have a fair amount of confidence when they head to west London. Let’s run through the team news for both sides.

Tony Jones Leads Formidable and Balanced Notre Dame Ground Game

October 16, 2019 By Leave a Comment

It’s bye week for #9 Notre Dame, and that gives the Fighting Irish a chance to get extra preparation and additional rest for their next game, a week from Saturday at #16 Michigan. The bye week also gives us in the media a chance to a deep dive on a position group- in this case the running backs.

Near the top of the bye week priority list for the Irish is getting junior Jafar Armstrong, the back who entered the season #1 on the depth chart, fully re-integrated into the offense. Armstrong (6′, 220) suffered a soft-tissue injury to his groin/ab region during the opener at Louisville, and #8 didn’t return until Saturday night against USC.

#3 Ohio State Buckeyes vs Northwestern Wildcats Game Preview, Prediction

amos alonzo stagg trophy big ten title

As Mark Twain famously said: “Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; truth isn’t.”

Just ten months ago, the Ohio State Buckeyes and Northwestern Wildcats met for the Big Ten Championship in Indianapolis. While the Buckeyes were sizable favorites, with almost all the free college football picks predicting a decisive OSU victory in that game, you still had two teams clashing on relatively equal footing. After all, these two teams, despite the contrast, were both division champions in the same conference.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Rules Paul Pogba, David de Gea Out of Liverpool Clash

Ernest Hemingway once famously said: “the world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places.” Sounds like the state of Manchester United football club right now, and something their supporters need to hear, in order to try and keep their spirits up in these tough times.

United host their most hated of rivals, Liverpool, on Sunday and they’ll do so looking up 11 places in the Premier League table. LFC is perfect on the season and eight points clear of Manchester City at the top of the table, so 12th place United was going to have their work cut out for them, even if they had a fully fit squad, which they definitely do not.

Sergio Aguero Involved in Car Crash Before City Training Session

October 16, 2019 By 1 Comment

Manchester City striker supreme Sergio Aguero was involved in a minor car crash prior to Wednesday’s training session. The good news is that nobody was hurt. Aguero reported for practice and trained with the rest of the team ahead of their trip to Crystal Palace on Saturday for a Premier League fixture.

The bad news is that the Argentine totally wrecked his £150,000 Range Rover. He seems to be in decent spirits about it though as he posted photos of the damage in a story on his Instagram account.

Chelsea Club Woes for Christian Pulisic Carrying Over to Country

October 16, 2019 By Leave a Comment

Early on in his Chelsea career, one could possibly say “you can take Christian Pulisic out of the United States Men’s National Team, but you can’t take the USMNT out of Pulisic.” Now the extremely talented young winger is struggling massively all around.

For both club and country, one could easily describe Pulisic (and the USMNT program at large) by invoking this quote from Ernest Hemingway: “the world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places.”

David de Gea Suffers Abductor Injury, Doubt for Liverpool Match

October 15, 2019 By Leave a Comment

What a shame for Manchester United. Just when they were starting to get healthier, at the time they needed it most, with the biggest game on the calendar approaching, a new concentric circle of hell opened up. David de Gea, starting goalkeeper for both Manchester United and the Spanish national team, went down with injury during the Spain-Sweden Euro qualifier.

Spain manager Robert Moreno said in postgame that De Gea tried to play through the pain of an abductor injury (it looks like he seemingly hurt himself on a goal kick) before having to come off.
