The club then launched their new kit, which is very smart, but received mixed reviews purely because of the timing of the announcement, which also came amid the expected departure of Anthony Elanga to Newcastle United. This was followed today by news that Forest also believed Tottenham should not have known about Gibbs-White’s release clause, as they threatened legal action over what they felt amounted to an illegal approach. Just as that drama was unfolding, Forest announced ...

This early in the NBA season, matchups can often be misleading on paper. Coming into Wednesday night, the New York Knicks were 7-3 on the season and 7-0 at home in Madison Square Garden. Meanwhile, the Orlando Magic were sitting at a disappointing 5-6 after being a playoff team for the last two seasons. Yet, that didn’t stop the Magic from coming into the Garden and controlling the game from start to finish, leading 62-42 at the half and withstanding a Knicks run to begin the fourth quarter that invigorated the crowd before ultimately pulling out a 124-107 victory.“Obviously, them being undefeated at home is great for them,” said Magic head coach Jamahl Mosley before the game. “Our ability just to focus on what we need to do, to come out and just get the win. Not necessarily where it is, b...
