During pre- season , Erik ten Hag admitted: "I think, in general, when I came in at Man Utd, the standards were not right. That's true." A year and a half into his tenure, there is little evidence to suggest that Ten Hag has dramatically raised those standards. Manchester United's limp loss to Newcastle United, with a 0-1 scoreline that desperately flattered the inept visitors, was the club's tenth defeat of the season. United have only played 21 games this term. Across the decade of decay since Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement in 2013, no previous manager has ever racked up double digits for defeats as quickly as Ten Hag's current vintage. Yet, even more damningly than those statistics is the style of United's losses. They are still failing the same way. Ten Hag candidly revealed the deeply troubling sight that he spotted ahead of his first away game as Manchester United manager, a humbling 4-0 defeat to Brentford. "I saw one of our players shake ...

The Golden State Warriors played their first game without Draymond Green , but unfortunately, they suffered their fifth straight loss despite having won as many games since the start of the season. In the game, Isaiah Joe had an outstanding performance, scoring 23 points and making seven 3-pointers in seven attempts. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander also played well, scoring one more point to help his team win, scoring 128-109 at the Chase Center. Moreover, Josh Giddey scored 19 point s, and Chet Holmgre n, who was very helpful, scored 13 points and grabbed 10 rebounds . This was his fourth double-double since the beginning of his career. The Thunder won their fifth Game in the last six, which was an important victory as they ended their losing streak against the Warriors, which had lasted 11 Game s. Green was fined for starting a fight with the Minnesota Timberwolves during the Game . Additionally, coach Steve Kerr managed without Stephen Curry or Gary Payton II after the middle of the se...

The Premier League produces incredible drama every week and plenty of that entertainment comes in the form of red cards. Whether they were shin-breakers back in the 1990s courtesy of Vinnie Jones or Stuart Pearce or VAR-aided dismissals in the 21st century, referees are never too far away from giving players their marching orders in England's top flight. Liverpool started the 2023/24 season in impressive red card form, having four players sent off in their first seven Game s, but how many more ejections will Jurgen Klopp's side need to break the Premier League record for most sending offs in a single season ? What is the Premier League record for red cards in a single season? Sunderland hold the record with nine alongside another Premier League side / Clive Brunskill/GettyImages This particular unwanted record goes to two teams: Sunderland and Queens Park Rangers. Both sides collected nine red cards in the 2009/10 and 2011/12 seasons respectively, meaning they found themselve...

Aegerter stepped up to join Yamaha's satellite GRT team for 2023 following back-to-back World Supersport titles with the Iwata marque. The Swiss rider established himself a top-five contender in the early part of the season , and sits ninth in the standings with four rounds left in 2023 - three places clear of team-mate Remy Gardner. Now it has been confirmed that Aegerter will remain on Yamaha's books for another year, and while the team has not been specified, it is likely he will stay with the GRT squad.

After having only been promoted through the Championship play-offs, signing a gazillion players and starting the Premier League season so poorly, few gave Nottingham Forest any hope of beating the drop last campaign. However, Steve Cooper and his 423-man squad had other ideas, turning the club's fortunes around and finishing 16th. While their future was safe heading into the final day of last season, it was all a little too close for comfort at the City Ground. Having avoided the drop, it is now Cooper's job to make sure this season is more comfortable. Forest have taken a more measured approach in this summer's transfer window, and with a year of Premier League experience in the bank, supporters will be hoping that this can be a season of stability for the Midlands club.
