Bournemouth has moved up to 11th in the Premier League this season, an improvement from their previous 16th place finish when the club were involved in the relegation scrap throughout the campaign. Howe said Bournemouth could retain their top talent despite interest from bigger clubs, and continue growing. “For a club of our size, keeping players who are performing so well in the Premier League will be our biggest challenge this summer, probably more so than any other,” Howe told the Daily Echo....

The game was quite a contest as Bournemouth put up quite a fight during the initial stages of the game, and dominated proceedings against the stuttering giants for the first half an hour of the game, carving them nicely and at will in the opening stages, and scored the first goal of the night through a neat finish by Callum Wilson by a brilliant pass from Junior Stanislas. Bournemouth looked by far the better team, and certainly had more intent to win on the afternoon, until Ashley Young and Alexis Sanchez teamed up on the right wing to create the first real opening for the United forwards, and it was the red-hot Anthony Martial who tapped in from close range as Alexis Sanchez cut the ball in for him from the right wing....

No. 3 Georgia beat No. 2 Oklahoma 54-48 in a double-overtime Rose Bowl thriller, and No. 4 Alabama beat down No. 1 Clemson 24-6 in the Allstate Sugar Bowl. That makes the SEC the big winner, as it will have an all-conference championship game for the second time this decade. One of those teams will be the ultimate winner of bowl season, but we’re ready to hand out the best of the winners and losers from the rest of the games....

Shields is widely considered to be the greatest women’s boxer on the planet, holding a pro-boxing record of 11-0. However, only two of her 11 wins have come by means of knockout. Claressa Shields has attributed the cause of the same to the fact that women’s boxing only goes up to 10-rounds instead of 12. She also cited two minute rounds as a contributing factor. During a recent interview with Fight Disciples, Shields opened up on the disparity between men’s and women’s boxing....

According to reports from India Today, Chautala, who was the President of the now suspended IOA, is all set to be ushered out of the national boxing federation as a result of a coup that is being plotted by some of the IBF’s officials. Chautala has been at the centre of the storm kicked up by the suspensions dished out to the IBF and IOA by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) for having appointed tainted officials in both of the bodies....

India’s Rohan Bopanna and his Pakistani partner Aisam Qureshi suffered a first round defeat in the men’s doubles of the US Open tennis at Flushing Meadows. Bopanna and Qureshi, who were seeded 13th, went down 6-7 (10-12), 6-4, 6-7 (5-7) to the unseeded Italian pair of Daniele Bracciali and Andreas Seppi here Tuesday. It was a tough battle for Bopanna and Qureshi that lasted 152 minutes. The Indo-Pakistan pair managed 11 aces in the first set but also committed nine double faults and lost it....

The risk has never been higher that Colombia’s anarchy could touch off a regional conflict. Violence and the threat of violence are spreading all along the nation’s perimeter, not only into rural Venezuela but also into Brazil, Peru, Ecuador and Panama. Much of the driving force seems to be the massive anti-drug military offensive campaign known as Plan Colombia. The crackdown has sent growers and refugees spilling out across the borders, along with growing numbers of leftist Colombian guerrillas and the right-wing private armies that have sworn to eradicate them....

The first Borderlands game came in 2009, meaning the franchise has been around for well over a decade now. In that time, Borderlands has had a variety of spin-offs and sequels, and the Flynt family has managed to find its way into almost every single one. Whether they’re the leader of a bandit group, the captain of a bandit ship, or a respected member of the Crimson Raiders, the Flynt family members have all left their mark on Borderlands’ in-game world, and real-world fans....

The much-needed update was provided by Ariana Greenblatt, the actress who has been cast to play Tiny Tina. Greenblatt went on Twitter and posted a behind-the-scenes photo that confirmed the start of principal photography for the film. In the photo, she is sat alongside director Eli Roth on set in Hungary, and both of them are wearing the appropriate PPE. “We out here, camera’s rolling… Day 1,” writes Greenblatt in her tweet....

Players have known about the Borderlands 3 Vault Cards for a bit now. Essentially a Battle Pass system, there will be three cards released throughout 2021, with the first arriving alongside the Director’s Cut. Players will level these up as they play, unlocking rewards themed around dead characters from past Borderlands games. While this system is plenty of fun and ensures players are constantly unlocking rewards, one of those rewards is a brand-new currency called Diamond Keys — and these special Keys are a game changer....

Many Borderlands 3 players have expressed their opinions on the various hotfixes by taking to the game’s subreddit and posting memes. This isn’t the first time this has happened, either, as fans have taken a similar approach in the past, mocking Maliwan with memes and the constant influx of buffs and nerfs to Vault Hunters like Fl4K the Beastmaster and Zane the Operative.

Interestingly enough, this foray into Krieg’s mind in the here and now may not have been intended as the first encounter between the two. Leaked BL3 game audio that appeared shortly after its release seemingly confirmed Krieg was actually cut from the base game, and parts of this DLC lend itself as further proof to this as well.

The tabletop game, dubbed Bunkers & Badasses, is based on Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep—one of Borderlands 2’s DLC expansions. The expansion is framed as a tabletop RPG session led by Tiny Tina, where the Vault Hunters act as player characters in Bunkers & Badasses, which is the Borderlands universe’s equivalent to Dungeons & Dragons. The formerly fictional RPG has been developed by Nerdvana Games, and is currently available for pre-order at a discount....

Maya’s death in Borderlands 3 remains one of the most controversial elements of the divisive game, and while her send-off in Krieg’s DLC was nice, some believe it was not enough. While resurrecting her in Borderlands 4 could feel like a cop-out and would raise questions about other characters who have died, the Star Wars franchise boasts a perfect storytelling device that could be borrowed to help bring Maya back without retconning her death....

Still, though all of this content is a great way to fill the time between major Borderlands releases, many are eager to see what Borderlands 4 will be like. Though fans can expect an updated version of the series’ cel shaded art style and answers regarding Lilith, everything beyond that is a mystery. However, there is good reason to believe that Borderlands 4 will feature a time skip, with several years passing between the third and fourth entry....

In July 1917, three months before the Bolsheviks seized power, a clash between soldiers and demonstrators turned bloody on the Nevsky Prospekt in Petrograd (Boon to be Leningrad). But in 1991 thousands of Muscovites took peacefully to the streets to cheer their hero, Russian President Boris Yeltsin. In Petrograd, bonfires of imperial flags and emblems marked the overthrow of the czar in 1917. Three quarters of a century later, Russians took to the streets again, throwing up makeshift barricades and stockpiling firebombs to keep the junta’s tanks from advancing on the Russian parliament building....

Johnson had been mulling a return to the position, and on Saturday, flew home from a holiday in the Caribbean to potentially launch a bid to lead the U.K.’s Conservative Party once again. In a statement, Johnson said that while he had received the necessary number of nominations from Tory members of parliament (MPs) to seek the office, he decided it “would simply not be the right thing to do....

The prime minister had tweeted in a picture message: “Congratulations to Joe Biden on his election as President of the United States and to Kamala Harris on her historic achievement. The US is our most important ally and I look forward to working closely together on our shared priorities, from climate change to trade and security.” However, a deeper look at the picture shows the outline of what appears to be Trump’s name above that of Biden’s that wasn’t deleted from the image fully....

“When the herd moves, it moves,” Johnson sullenly observed in his resignation address. Fed up with his petty antics and egged on by an unremittingly hostile media-administrative establishment known in the U.K. as “The Blob,” nearly 70% of Britons and a majority of Conservative members of Parliament were finally convinced that BoJo had to go. Faced with the resignation of so many ministerial-level colleagues that he could no longer effectively govern, Johnson resigned, sheepishly observing in an echo of his American birth, “them’s the breaks....

The Gabon international last registered his name on the scorer’s sheet with his brace in Dortmund’s 3-2 defeat to RB Leipzig on October 14. Aubameyang who has scored 10 goals in 11 league games this campaign, revealed that he is refreshed to score goals for Peter Bosz’s men after faulting fatigue for his goal drought. “I played a lot and felt a bit tired, which is why I asked for a break in the Cup against Magdeburg,” Aubameyang told Bild....
