Series Ted Lasso rumoured to be returningWas due to end after Season 3Announcement teased by key cast memberWHAT HAPPENED?

Popular show Ted Lasso has been doing the rounds of social media recently after reports emerged suggesting it could return for Season 4. This is despite star Jason Sudeikis – who plays Ted Lasso – confirming the end of the series following the Season 3 finale. The show follows London club AFC Richmond and their journey up the football pyramid, eventually ending in the Premier League in the most recent episodes.

Nick Mohammed, who portrays Nathan Shelley in the show, previously campaigned for Ted Lasso to continue and always retained hope on social media that his role would not end just yet. Following the recent reports, he took to X, posting "told ya! 😂".

THE GOSSIP

While nothing has been confirmed, Forbes report that Warner Brothers have exercised their option to extend several key cast members' contracts for the Apple TV series. Hannah Waddingham (Rebecca Walton), Brett Goldstein (Roy Kent) and Jeremy Swift (Leslie Higgins) have all been picked up while negotiations are underway with other actors to reprise their roles.

Manchester City SocialWHAT NEXT FOR TED LASSO?

Series 3 of Ted Lasso ended with AFC Richmond finishing second in the league, behind Manchester City. Lasso quit his managerial role and went on to coach his son's football team back in the U.S. While we await official confirmation of the show's return, we can only speculate on how the story could advance in Season 4.

Tottenham Hotspur are now well and truly in pole position to secure a Champions League spot next season.

This has been a superb weekend for the Lilywhites who after watching their closest rivals for fourth spot in Aston Villa draw 3-3 with Brentford, secured a much-needed win over Nottingham Forest on Sunday.

Spurs scored three goals of their own, but unlike Villa, conceded just one in what was a relatively routine win for Ange Postecoglou's side.

The Londoners have only won two of their last four league outings but are now unbeaten in their last three, leapfrogging Villa into fourth spot in the process.

Just days ago the club drew with West Ham but this was a far more polished performance, notably in attack.

Murillo fired into his own net before stunning strikes from both Pedro Porro and Micky van de Ven wrapped up the points. Heung-min Son registered an assist but was relatively quiet in a goalscoring sense compared to some of the outstanding performances we've seen in 2023/24 to date.

Son's performance vs Forest

This has been a season of transition for the South Korean who hasn't just taken on the goalscoring burden left behind by Harry Kane but also filled the leadership void.

Of course, Huge Lloris also took his leave last summer and with it handed the captain's armband to Son.

What has he done with it? Well, the attacker has been nothing short of a sensation. We'd expect nothing less from one of Tottenham's greatest players.

Son didn't find the net on Sunday against Forest but he did take his seasonal tally of assists to nine after laying the ball off for Van de Ven to hammer home.

On top of that, the 31-year-old has found the net on 15 occasions this term during a sensational campaign yet again for the winger.

A wide player by trade, Son has found himself occupying the role of a central striker more regularly this term. It was the position he played in against Nuno Santo's men this weekend, yet he was unfortunate not to beat Mats Selz in the visitors' net.

The former Bayer Leverkusen man hit the woodwork and was denied in some style by that man Selz late on. It looked like the ball was heading into the far corner, only for the Forest stopper to sprawl to his left to deny the South Korean.

On another day he could have had a few goals, only substantiating his place as an undroppable figure in the side further. However, Timo Werner should also hold a similar tag after what was one of his finest displays in a Spurs shirt yet.

Timo Werner's performance in numbers

The German's arrival on a loan deal back in January raised eyebrows. After all, this is a man who had been made a meme during his time with Chelsea.

Werner only found the net 23 times in 89 appearances on the blue side of London and truth be told, never looked up for it in English football.

Well, the 28-year-old has hardly been prolific this time around either, scoring two goals in 11 outings for Spurs, but he certainly looks more at ease in Postecoglou's system, contributing to five strikes on the whole courtesy of three assists.

That was particularly the case against Forest where Werner looked an eternal danger for Neco Williams.

It was the Germany international who played the ball across the box for Murillo to fire into his own net. That was just one of many examples in which he found himself in a dangerous position down the left channel, delivering what was an "absolutely superb" performance in the eyes of Spurs presenter Ben Haines.

In total, Werner attempted five crosses, of which two came off, while his three dribble attempts were a marker of his willingness to make something happen.

A constant nuisance out wide, Football.London's Alasdair Gold handed the spritely winger an 8/10 match rating, writing: 'Soon after [the opening goal] he fired in another similar cross but Johnson's shot was saved. Sent in a few more dangerous balls in the second half and was a constant threat to Forest and was involved in the build-up to the third goal.'

Speaking after the game, the loanee admitted that he was loving life back in London, sparking talk that Spurs could and should well look to activate their option to buy him once the summer window opens.

On this evidence, they should do; it was a performance that could make him undroppable during the Premier League run-in.

Harmanpreet Kaur rues dropped chances but expects a lot of glory in the coming years

ESPNcricinfo staff08-Mar-2020Meg Lanning, the victorious Australia captain, has lauded her side’s ability to triumph over adversity to lift a fifth Women’s T20 World Cup.They may have been the hosts and defending champions, but Australia did not have the tournament they would have wanted. They lost strike bowler Tayla Vlaeminck to a foot stress fracture before the matches even started and then lost the tournament opener to eventual final foes India. They survived a scare against Sri Lanka and a close one to New Zealand, their last group match in which star player Ellyse Perry’s World Cup ended with a torn hamstring, before scraping through a rain-affected semi-final against South Africa.But on Sunday, before 86,174 people at the MCG, it all went right for Lanning and her side. Alyssa Healy set them off with a blistering 75 from 39 balls, Beth Mooney finished it with an unbeaten 78 from 54 and when Megan Schutt dismissed teenage batting sensation Shafali Verma for just two on the third ball of India’s chase, Australia were set. Schutt ended up with four wickets and Jess Jonassen three amid an India batting collapse – and the concussion substitution of Taniya Bhatia – which put the imposing target of 185 beyond reach.”I’m really proud of this group of players and staff,” Lanning said. “We’ve had everything thrown at us throughout this tournament. We’ve had ups and downs. We scraped through the semi-finals, and to put our best performance on the park on the biggest stage in our careers is certainly something I’m very proud of.That winning feeling – Meg Lanning is over the moon•AFP via Getty Images

“It was tough, definitely, especially after we lost that first game. There was a lot of expectation on us from the outside and on the inside as well. We came into this tournament to win, no doubt about that. And as soon as there was 90,000 people expected on the ‘G, we were hoping to be there and just to get here, I think was a significant achievement.”There was definitely some tough times through there but we stuck together as a group, we really just had each other’s back the whole time and it’s just a great group to be a part of.”Lanning also had special words for Vlaeminck and Perry. “Coming in, they were big parts of our plans, especially against a team like India, and we had to change tack pretty quickly,” Lanning said. “A very special group to go to plans Bs and Cs and be able to execute them on the big stage.”To Pez and Tay, they’ve been amazing with our group. The brave faces they’ve put on have been really special and they’ve really added to our group so they’re just as much a part of this as everyone else.”Harmanpreet Kaur wears a dejected look while walking back•Getty Images

Harmanpreet Kaur, the India captain, was left to console a distraught Verma – who had amassed just one fewer run in the tournament than Kaur, Smriti Mandhana and Jemimah Rodrigues combined with a breakout batting performance – but had a disappointing final. Verma also put down a fairly straightforward catch off Healy in the first over of the match, though she was not alone in the dropped chances department. Mooney also survived a caught-and-bowled chance when Rajeshwari Gayakwad spilled one in the fourth over.”The way we played in the league games, it was outstanding, and I know it probably was unfortunate that we dropped those catches and then after that we didn’t make it,” Kaur said. “We just need to stay there and focus on areas, especially fielding because today we know that because of the fielding we weren’t able to win this game.”Whenever we go back and whenever we go to the ground we need to keep these things in mind. I think the future is good for us, we just need to keep trusting ourselves and I really trust this team.”Harmanpreet said if nerves were a factor, they were part and parcel of the sport and her side would learn that. “It’s a part of the game because sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, you have to keep learning,” she said. “The first game was very outstanding for us because that game kept us high on the table and I think that game gave us a lot of confidence but today was unfortunate for us.”If we talk about the last T20 World Cup, that time we qualified for the semis and this time for the final. We are on the right line because every year we are improving and now we just need to think about how we are going to play with more focus on the main games because sometimes we are not able to give our best and focus well on crucial games, and I just hope upcoming years will bring us a lot of glory.”

Opening batsman will be the 16th member of the squad that will play three ODIs in India

ESPNcricinfo staff07-Mar-2020Opening batsman Janneman Malan has been included in South Africa’s squad to tour India for a three-ODI series, with the first match starting on March 12. Malan was not part of the original 15-man group but, after a century in his second ODI to win the series against Australia in Bloemfontein, has been added to the touring party. South Africa’s squad leaves for India on Sunday.ALSO READ: My brother, the dragon slayer – Andre on Janneman MalanMalan will compete for the opener’s spot with Temba Bavuma, who was forced out of the ongoing series against Australia with a hamstring niggle. Bavuma was picked to partner Quinton de Kock at the top of the order when South Africa’s white-ball season began against England last month, and the pair performed well together but injuries have since seen Bavuma sidelined. Jon-Jon Smuts, who was named as the reserve opening batsman, remains with the squad and will look to secure a place in the middle-order instead.South Africa are travelling to India after taking expert advice on concerns around the spread of COVID-19 (novel coronavirus), and have put added precautions in place for the short tour, which will last 11 days overall. They will leave on Sunday, reaching India via Dubai. They will then spend a day in Delhi, before heading to Dharamsala, the venue of the first ODI. Two more fixtures in Lucknow and Kolkata follow on March 15 and March 18. None of the venues have reported any cases of COVID-19.

Australia allrounder will play at least eight group games for county

ESPNcricinfo staff03-Mar-2020Glenn Maxwell will return to Lancashire for the T20 Blast this summer.Maxwell starred with the bat as Lancashire topped the North Group last season, hitting 305 runs at a strike rate above 150, while averaging 38.12 before a surprise quarter-final exit against Essex. He also contributed with the ball, conceding only 6.60 runs per over as he formed part of the competition’s most parsimonious spin attack alongside Matt Parkinson and Liam Livingstone.He will play at least eight group stages games before linking up with the Australia squad ahead of their white-ball series in England. He joins James Faulkner as the other overseas player in the T20 squad.”Last season was one of the best summers of cricket I have ever experienced and I cannot wait to return to Emirates Old Trafford in 2020,” Maxwell said. “We were very unfortunate not to progress further after dominating the North Group and I was so impressed with the talent inside the changing room. I’m very confident we can improve on the quarter-final finish of 2019.”I have been keeping in touch with the lads ever since I departed in September and I’m already excited to catch up with everyone when I arrive in May.”Paul Allott, Lancashire’s director of cricket, said: “Glenn is one of the most sought-after players in world cricket and to have signed him again after the enormous impact he made last year is hugely significant as we go in search of a second Vitality Blast title.”To have a player of his talent on the pitch, as well as the person he is away from the field, can only enhance our prospects in this year’s tournament. He is extremely generous with his time in passing on his experiences to younger players and will no doubt play a huge part in their development once again.”He firmly embraced himself in the culture of Lancashire Cricket last year, understood the pride in pulling on the Red Rose and we can’t wait to welcome him back to Emirates Old Trafford.”

da aviator aposta： Reliable club insider ExWHUemployee has shared another important update on David Moyes and the manager's contract situation at West Ham.

Moyes future uncertain with West Ham contract expiring

da brdice： The Scotsman's tenure in east London has been a very memorable one. West Ham have qualified for Europe in each of Moyes' full seasons in charge, since he began his second stint midway through 2019/2020. They also put an end to their near-40 year wait for a major trophy, lifting the UEFA Europa Conference League in Prague last term.

The Hammers head coach, as things stand, is set to leave West Ham at the end of this campaign with his contract expiring soon. Moyes, speaking to the media last week, actually claimed that the offer of a new deal was on the table.

"I've had really good conversations with the owners, with David Sullivan and Karren Brady," said Moyes on his new contract situation.

"There's a contract there for me and I'm the one deciding I want to wait until the end of the season. There are plenty of reasons [to wait]. I've got to make sure it's the right thing for the club, for me and my family. I've spoken to the board. I've had a fabulous four years. We'll sort it out but I'm happy to wait."

Going by Moyes' statement, he appears to be the one in control of this situation, and depending on whether or not he extends, West Ham technical director Tim Steidten is believed to assessing managerial alternatives.

ExWHUemployee shares Moyes contract update

Now, speaking to West Ham Way, ExWHUemployee has shared a Moyes contract update which is contrary to what the former Man United boss said.

“There have been provisional talks over a new deal for David Moyes,” stated Ex. “However, I’ve been advised that at no point it’s been put forward for signing. The manager possibly was referring to an agreement but that’s provisional, but not in front of him to sign.

“It’s understood that any decision by the board as to whether to offer him an extension will be made at the end of the season, following a review on how the season pans out.”

Depending on whether the club decide to offer him that new contract after all, West Ham are believed to be interested in the likes of Wolves boss Gary O'Neil, who has admirers at the London Stadium.

“At the moment, we're getting towards the stage where West Ham are going to be looking for a new manager," said journalist Dean Jones to GiveMeSport.

"While Gary O'Neil isn't going to be the top target for them, I have heard that he is somebody they like. I would be surprised if he didn't at least crop up on a list of names if and when Moyes does end up losing his job, so that is one to keep in mind."

Leeds United, after coming from behind to shock Championship leaders Leicester City, now sit second on goal difference and within six points of the Foxes on course to win the title. On their way back to the Premier League at the first time of asking as things stand, reports suggest that promotion could see the Yorkshire club make a shock move in the transfer window.

Leeds United transfer news

As the summer transfer window approaches, the rumours have already arrived, with Leeds linked with the likes of Kilmarnock youngster Bobby Wales and Udinese wing-back Festy Ebosele in two deals that could boost Daniel Farke's side in the long-term future.

Meanwhile, the narrative on the pitch in recent weeks has been centred around the revival of Wilfried Gnonto. The young winger looked destined to leave in both the summer and in the January transfer window, with West Ham United reportedly interested in a move, but failed to get his departure. Staying put, Gnonto has finally shown glimpses of his best form ever since, scoring three goals in his last three games.

It is the type of Elland Road revival that others elsewhere may look on with promise, including Kalvin Phillips. According to Wayne Veysey of Football Insider, the 49ers and Leeds have made a new midfielder one of their top priorities and will look to re-sign Phillips in a permanent deal this summer if they secure promotion.

The England international is currently on loan at West Ham, where he has struggled to regain the form he once showed in Yorkshire to earn his move to Manchester City in the first place.

A return to Leeds could be exactly what the midfielder needs to return to his best, however, especially as they look to make their mark on Premier League football once more.

"Excellent" Phillips needs Leeds return

A mistake on his debut in a draw Bournemouth, smashed 3-0 by Manchester United, on the end of a 6-0 thrashing at the hands of Arsenal, before being sent off in a 2-0 defeat against Nottingham Forest, if anyone needs home comforts it is Phillips.

The midfielder's loan spell at the London Stadium was meant to prove Pep Guardiola wrong for limiting his opportunities at The Etihad, yet it's done anything but. And with the Euros coming up, Phillips may be starting to worry about his place under Gareth Southgate, despite the England manager's previous praise.

Southgate previously said: “He’s been excellent. To play in the enormity of the matches he did in the summer and play as well as he did is massive credit to him. He’s a very, very good player and he’s been a really important part of this – we’re 16 games unbeaten [in regulation time] now and he’s been a huge part of that.”

Of course, Phillips still has time to turn things around at West Ham, but a summer switch to Leeds could be the perfect way to really get back to his best in the familiar surroundings of Elland Road, making this one to watch.

Namibia’s net run-rate takes a hit too as they lose their second in a row, this one by 81 runs

The Report by Peter Della Penna in Dubai20-Oct-2019PNG’s biggest partnership in T20Is, between Tony Ura and Assad Vala, left Namibia battered and bruised and without an escape route, as they slid to an 81-run defeat at ICC Academy Oval 2 on Sunday. Ura and Man of the Match Vala added 125 in just 12.2 overs as they punished poor lengths from Namibia, who cycled through eight options with the ball but found little success.The pair got off to a relatively quiet start, reaching 23 in three overs after opening the innings, before they plundered a trio of fours first off Christi Viljoen’s medium pace in the fourth over and then in the sixth, bowled by captain Gerhard Erasmus. It wasn’t until the eighth before the first six came, and Ura followed up the first with a second, in three balls off Pikky Ya France’s offspin, and then cleared Bernard Scholtz straight for another in the ninth. A bottom-edged four past the keeper brought up his 50 in 30 balls in the tenth over, and then brought up the team 100 at the end of the over when he smoked a drive over extra cover off Craig Williams for his fourth six.Viljoen struck twice in the space of three balls to finally send both players back to the pavilion – Vala hooking to deep square-leg two short of a fifty and Ura feathering an edge down the leg side for 71 – but the PNG opening combo had put Namibia well behind the eight ball. Sese Bau and Lega Siaka provided sharp bursts to keep the pressure on before Jan Frylinck’s triple-wicket 19th applied a tourniquet to stop the bleeding, though the damage was already complete.Early pressure from Nosaina Pokana with the new ball produced a wicket for Bau’s new-ball offspin at the other end as Nico Davin gave a catch to mid-off in the fourth over. The desperation for quick runs resulted in the run out of JP Kotze two overs later as Bau struck again with an underhand flick at the striker’s end after charging in from backward point. Williams was bowled two balls later for a duck by Norman Vanua before Erasmus pulled Damien Ravu’s medium pace softly to Vala at short midwicket to complete a slide of three wickets for no runs in five balls.Rather than try to mitigate their net run-rate hit with a victory becoming hopeless, Namibia continued to try to hit their way out of trouble only to spiral faster to defeat. Vala brought himself on and struck three times in four balls in the 12th: JJ Smit driving to long-on, Zane Green bowled playing back to a good length ball and Zhivago Groenewald missing a flick across the line to have his stumps rattled as well to make it 86 for 7.A deflection on to the stumps by Riley Hekure to run out non-striker Bernard Scholtz for the final wicket summed up the day for both sides as Namibia failed to bat out their final 17 balls. It resulted in a crushing net run-rate blow to 0-2 Namibia and a massive boost on the tie-break formula for 2-0 PNG.

The former USMNT striker has delivered a critique of a recent interview, suggesting Pochettino is attempting to deflect responsibility

Gomez called Pochettino's comments as "reeking of phony" Compared Pochettino to previous foreign coaches Rejected coach's focus on long-term developmentGetty Images SportWHAT HAPPENED

Former U.S. striker Herculez Gomez offered a pointed rebuke of Mauricio Pochettino's recent appearance on Spanish television program , where he offered explanations for the USMNT’s performances prior to the team's 2-0 loss against South Korea. Gomez took particular issue with Pochettino's comments, suggesting his primary mission involved long-term development of American soccer rather than immediate results..

“I want to choose my words very wisely,” Gomez said on his YouTube channel. “But this screams of phony, snake oil salesman…  the longest time, we had the sentiment of coaches, foreign coaches, from any walk of life, from anywhere with an accent coming and trying to show you stupid Americans how to do things. But really, just trying to take your money. But really, just trying to claim they were credible to take your dollars. And that’s what they were trying to do."

The former striker dismissed this framing as disingenuous, arguing that Pochettino was hired to prepare the current generation for success at the 2026 World Cup rather than build for some distant future

“Mauricio Pochettino isn’t a fool, but he’s trying to pass the buck here,” Gomez said. “He’s putting up excuses like ‘Hey, I don’t score the goals and I can’t defend them, the real thing we’re trying to do here is instill a culture, and get them on the right path.’

“They didn’t give you $6 million a year so we can look back 20 years from now and say ‘Oh Mauricio Pochettino, he’s the one who laid the foundation.’ No, no, no. It’s for a World Cup, a tournament. They need you to get this pool of players ready for a home tournament, not to shape the next 60 years of American soccer, which he has no understanding of.”
