Both Sheffield sides have had a strong campaign in 2023/24, and they headed into the clash at Bramall Lane occupying the two spaces behind leaders, Birmingham City, but with games in hand. Wednesday had one, United three, and a win for either side would see them rise to first place. For years the Blades have been the top dogs on the youth scene in the steel city, so they went into this home game as favourites despite the fact the two teams drew 2-2 at Hillsborough back in October in a game that...
KRIS BOYD says Rangers fans should accept Cyriel Dessers for what he is — a striker who is going to miss more than he scores. The Nigeria cap’s Hampden double against Hearts on Sunday set up a Scot
Sky Sports commentators had a big reaction on live television when Arsenal star Bukayo Saka scored a goal during their game against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday 28 April. “Saka, there you go!” one yelled as he leapt to his feet. “That’s what I’m talking about.” Arsenal managed a 3-0 lead before their opponent came back the second half with a vengence. The game ended with Arsenal taking home the win with 3-2.
Tottenham have struggled from set pieces this season with defenders targeting Guglielmo Vicario. They have conceded several goal from corners with opponents pressurising the goalkeeper. Arsenal scored their 3rd from a corner, with Havertz heading it past Vicario. However, replay shows Ben White shoved Vicario back, leaving him totally unbalanced. Watch the incident below: Referees
If gender politics is your jam, The New York Times absolutely nailed this headline last week: "Trump respects women, most men say." The story cited Siena polling for The New York Times showing that while a 54% majority of men say Trump respects women, either "a lot" or "some"—just 31% of women—hold the same view. In the survey, President Joe Biden is winning women’s votes, but not by as much as one might hope given the lopsided result of the "respect" question. Biden had a 16-point lead...
Leeds United take on Queens Park Rangers away from home on Friday evening,
The first half was a tight one, and needed two moments of quality to find the net. First it was Josh Windass with a brilliant goal from range, then from Sammie Smodics to level things up. Wednesday have spent months in the bottom three, almost the entire season in fact, but after an excellent second half display that included a fine goal from Marvin Johnson and a bizarre one from Aynsley Pears they have managed to finally escape it. They’re up to 21st with two games to go - could they really...
The Owls face Blackburn this afternoon in a huge game in the Championship relegation scrap, and Wednesday have a chance to climb out of the bottom three with a win after both Huddersfield Town and Birmingham dropped points on Saturday afternoon. Huddersfield were heavily beaten by Swansea City in a 4-0 defeat, while Rotherham United held the Blues to a 0-0 draw that opened things up for Danny Röhl’s side when they visit Ewood Park. Bielik, who worked with Rovers manager, John Eustace, during...
Where men’s sports often receive brand and broadcast support based on their potential, proponents of women’s sports note that investment in their game hinges on proof of its value. This year’s NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament—with help from Caitlin Clark and Dawn Staley—just provided its broadcasters at the Walt Disney Company and their brand partners a small forest’s worth of receipts. When the second round of the tournament aired more than a month ago, Disney’s ESPN noted its 1.4...

Graves Park ward has been a strong basis for the Liberal Democrats but as Cllr Ian Auckland is retiring the seat is up for grabs. The Lib Dems are trying to keep the ward as an all-orange one – they’ve got all three councillors at the moment – but it will not be easy, as we already mentioned in our Sheffield battlegrounds article. The Liberal Democrats will try to win with Tariq Zaman. He said: “I grew up and have lived locally for the past 46 years, and my children attended local schools. I...
