Pochettino has presided over a torrid start to the campaign, which reached a new low over the past week with a 7-2 defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions League and a 3-0 loss to Brighton and Hove Albion in the Premier League. That defeat to the Seagulls means Spurs are languishing ninth in the table, a whopping 13 points behind leaders Liverpool after just eight games. Sherwood, who managed the club for five months before Pochettino’s appointment in May 2014, believes the Argentinian’s position is safe and remains confident he is the right man to get them back on track....

‘Moyes cannot get away with sexist threats’ It emerged last week that the 19-year-old had been questioned by police over the incident, and now the Ligue 1 side have decided to take action following an episode that president Olivier Sadran described as “inadmissible”. Speaking to RMC, Sadran said: “What Odsonne did is inadmissible, scandalous behaviour. For one he won’t play again for us and secondly we’re sending him back to Paris St-Germain....

The world No. 1 will start the final event of the FedEx Cup playoffs at 10-under par, as for the second consecutive year the PGA Tour season finale will feature a staggered scoring start system.

A hail storm and mudslides resulted in stage 19 being neutralized on the descent of the Col de l’Iseran, 30 kilometers from the scheduled finish on the 126.5-kilometer route from Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne to Tignes on Friday. Egan Bernal took the yellow jersey from Julian Alaphilippe after he was the first to the summit of the Col de l’Iseran, which proved to be decisive as that is where the new general classification standings were calculated....

This is a creative approach to handling trolls, but it remains to be seen if it will have an overall positive impact on the Overwatch community or not. After all, these muted Xbox Live players can still talk to others through party chat, and they can be toxic in other ways that don’t involve slinging insults or harshly criticizing their teammates. For example, toxic Overwatch players can ruin the game by simply giving up when playing in the ranked Competitive Play mode and throwing the game for their team....

Some think these Flavas leave a bad taste. “When I saw the dolls I was in shock,” says Raquel Wilson, editor in chief of hip-hop e-zine Verbalisms. “They completely misrepre- sent the culture.” She takes issue with the superficial treatment of the movement, and notes that the term “flava,” which means personal style, is no longer commonly used. But Bossick, who says Mattel didn’t hire hip-hop consultants, stands behind the line....

Is there another player Cincinnati prefers? Would the Bengals trade the top pick if they can get a king’s ransom in return, such as the haul the Titans received in the Jared Goff deal with the Rams four years ago? If so, Cincinnati should be looking to equal or exceed what Tennessee received, which was six picks (two firsts, two seconds and two thirds) in the first three rounds of the 2016 and 2017 drafts....

How times have changed. The president’s grand vision for Iraq–now known as his five-point plan–was supposed to get the full ballyhoo on Monday evening. The magical words “prime time” were thrown around, even though the networks chose to broadcast shows like “Fear Factor” instead of the president’s fine words. But no amount of rhetorical flourish can mask the disarray of the administration’s policy in Iraq, and the president’s continuing struggle to speak convincingly to the American and Iraqi people....

Kerry has plenty of reasons to feel good about far more than his hyperventilating fans. His process of picking John Edwards was everything he wanted to project about his campaign: discreet, exhaustive and a sign of his determination to win. After all the weeks of vetting, after all the cloak-and-dagger meetings with the candidates, Kerry managed to keep his veep decision private until the final hours. Edwards may have been on the media’s shortlist from day one, but Kerry still managed to preserve the element of surprise in naming him....

Following their recent signing of Macedonian central defender Jasmin Mecinović, Super League strugglers Melaka United have made further announcements on the movement of their players in the recently-opened mid-season transfer window. According to an announcement made by the club on its social media on Wednesday afternoon, they will retain the services of star striker Ilija Spasojević and South Korean midfielder Jeon Woo Young’s services, while veteran Malaysia international Amri Yahyah will be released to former club Selangor....

Lampard’s 13-year spell at Stamford Bridge came to an end at the conclusion of last season when his deal with the London club expired. The 36-year-old former England international then agreed a move to New York City, which will start life as an MLS franchise in 2015, before being loaned to Premier League champion Manchester City, which has a partnership with New York. Former West Ham man Lampard could face the club with which he won three Premier League titles, four FA Cups and the UEFA Champions League when City takes on Chelsea at the Etihad Stadium on Sept....

Sterling has three years left on his current deal, which he signed in 2012, although his outstanding performances over the last 12 months have attracted interest from a clutch of Europe’s top clubs prompting the need for the Reds to offer improved terms. Goal understands that Luis Enrique’s Barca has been keeping tabs on the teenage sensation, while La Liga rival Real Madrid, as well as Manchester City and Chelsea, has also been monitoring Sterling’s contract situation....

After nearly half a century of enmity, the United States and North Korea are trying to mend their relationship. No deal was forged during Jo’s three-day visit–but as diplomatic forays go, it was a promising start. The two countries issued a joint communique that broke no new ground, but was encouraging nonetheless. It stressed the importance of the dialogue between North and South Korea, contained a mutual declaration of “no hostile intent” between Washington and Pyongyang and affirmed North Korea’s moratorium on missile testing....

Tattoo artist Scott Campbell posted a photo of Barker’s latest ink on Monday. The images include both a scorpion and, nestled beside its tail, a lipstick print—the latter belonging to none other than his newly-minted fiancée, Kourtney Kardashian. “Scorpio season. On @travisbarker,” wrote Campbell on Instagram. “Lips straight from the mouth of @kourtneykardash.” “Congrats you two,” he added. However, some have noticed that the placement of the new tattoo just so happens to cover one dedicated to his ex-wife Moakler....
