Gary Neville issues damning Man City 'decline' verdict and points finger at Blues star
Caitlin Clark honored as AP Female Athlete of the Year following her impact on women's sports Caitlin Clark has been named the AP Female Athlete of the Year after raising the profile of women’s basketball to unprecedented levels in both college and the WNBA. She led Iowa to the national championship game, was the top pick in the WNBA draft and captured rookie of the year honors in the league. Fans packed sold-out arenas and millions of television viewers followed her journey on and off the court. Clark's exploits also put other women's sports leagues in the spotlight. A group of 74 sports journalists from AP and its members voted on the award. Other athletes who received votes included Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles and boxer Imane Khelif. Clark’s only the fourth women’s basketball player to win the award since it was first given in 1931. Wemby at The Garden. LeBron vs. Steph. The NBA's Christmas Day lineup, as always, has star power LeBron James made his Christmas debut in 2003. Victor Wembanyama was born 10 days later. That’s right: James has been featured on the NBA’s big day for longer than Wembanyama has been alive. And on Wednesday the league’s oldest player and brightest young star will be big parts of the holiday showcase. It’s another Christmas quintupleheader, with Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs visiting the New York Knicks, Minnesota going to Dallas for a Western Conference finals rematch, Philadelphia heading to Boston to renew a storied rivalry, James and the Los Angeles Lakers taking on Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors, and Denver playing at Phoenix. Pro Picks: Chiefs will beat the Steelers and Ravens will edge the Texans on Christmas Day Playoff berths, draft positioning and more are up for grabs in Week 17. There’s going to be plenty of football on television this holiday week with the NFL playing games on five out of six days, starting with a doubleheader on Christmas Day featuring four of the AFC’s top five teams. Patrick Mahomes and the two-time defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs visit Russell Wilson and the Pittsburgh Steelers on Wednesday. Then, two-time NFL MVP Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens take on C.J. Stroud and the Houston Texans. The Bears host the Seahawks on Thursday night and there are three games on Saturday, making Sunday’s schedule light at nine games. Falcons drafting Penix no longer a head-scratcher with rookie QB shining in place of benched Cousins It was the most surprising first-round pick in a long time when the Atlanta Falcons chose Michael Penix Jr. with the eighth overall selection in the NFL draft last April. That came just six weeks after the Falcons had signed free agent quarterback Kirk Cousins to a four-year, $180 million deal with $100 million in guarantees. But that move is no longer a head-scratcher after Penix's solid starting debut in place of a benched and turnover-prone Cousins. Several teams have fared well with new quarterbacks this season including the Steelers, Broncos, Vikings and Commanders. Lindsey Vonn thinks her new titanium knee could start a trend in skiing. And pro sports in general ST. MORITZ, Switzerland (AP) — Lindsey Vonn thinks her new titanium knee could be the start of a trend in ski racing. The 40-year-old American standout had replacement surgery in April and returned to the World Cup circuit after nearly six years last weekend. She says her knee feels “amazing" and that "it’s something to seriously consider for athletes that have a lot of knee problems.” Her surgery was the first of its kind in World Cup skiing. Vonn had a robot-assisted surgery in April with part of the bone in her right knee cut off and replaced by two titanium pieces. She was planning her comeback a month later. Boise State's legacy includes winning coaches and championship moments No. 8 and third-seeded Boise State is preparing for its third trip to the Fiesta Bowl. This time it's in a playoff quarterfinal against No. 5 and sixth-seeded Penn State on New Year’s Eve. Boise State's first appearance on the national stage was in a memorable victory over Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl on Jan. 1, 2007. But former coach Chris Petersen said the victory in that bowl three years later over TCU was even more meaningful for the program. Players have mixed feelings about being on the road on Christmas as NFL adds more holiday games OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — Games on Christmas aren’t new to the NFL. The Miami Dolphins famously beat the Kansas City Chiefs in a playoff game on Dec. 25, 1971 — a double-overtime classic that still holds the record for the NFL’s longest game. In 2020, New Orleans running back Alvin Kamara tied an NFL record with six touchdowns in a game when the Saints beat Minnesota on Christmas. Lately the league has been much more aggressive about scheduling games on Christmas. That's been met with mixed feelings among the players. Baltimore tackle Ronnie Stanley says there is an offensive line Christmas party planned for Friday at center Tyler Linderbaum’s house. Quarterback Lamar Jackson’s plan is to celebrate on Thursday. Embiid ejected after drawing 2 technicals in game against Wembanyama and Spurs PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid was ejected in the first half of Monday night’s game against San Antonio after drawing two technical fouls. Referee Jenna Schroeder ejected Embiid with 2 minutes, 59 seconds left in the second quarter. The seven-time All-Star received the first technical for arguing with Schroeder, and received another technical — and ejection — from Schroeder before any more game time elapsed. Embiid was close to Schroeder, but it wasn’t clear from replays whether he made contact with the official. An enraged Embiid charged toward the officials after the ejection and was restrained by teammate Kyle Lowry, head coach Nick Nurse and several assistants. Nikki Glaser uses Prime Video's NFL postgame show appearances to help prepare for Golden Globes INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Nikki Glaser has become a familiar face to football fans this season. Her breakthrough performance at the Tom Brady Roast on May 5 paved the way for five appearances on Amazon Prime Video’s “Thursday Night Football” postgame show. Glaser said before last Thursday’s game between the Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Chargers that doing her “Late Hits” segment was a no-brainer following her success at the Brady roast. Leaving Thunder, Bucks off the NBA's Christmas game list has those teams feeling snubbed Oklahoma City leads the Western Conference and has a MVP candidate in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Milwaukee has the NBA’s leading scorer in Giannis Antetokounmpo. They were the teams that made their way to the NBA Cup final. By any measure, they’re both very good teams. And neither will play on Christmas Day this year. Bah, humbug. The NBA faces the same challenge every summer, figuring out which 10 teams will get the honor of playing on Christmas Day. But the Bucks and Thunder are right to feel snubbed. Copyright 2024 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.

Since the Korean war ended in 1953 it has advanced rapidly from an underdeveloped nation to the Western ‘premier league’. It is Asia’s fourth-largest economy, the 12th largest in the world with output of £1.5trillion (half the UK’s), and part of an economic and cultural elite which has given us Samsung, the Gangnam craze, Squid Game and Spurs footballer Son Heung-Min. On a trip to Seoul some years ago for an International Monetary Fund meeting, the protests against visiting bankers were among the most elegant I’ve witnessed. Well-organised protesters in white judo-style costumes jogged through the city in neat crocodile style. It came as a shock when directly elected president Yoon Suk Yeol suddenly declared martial law on Monday, sparking street protests and opposition in the legislature. Yoon now faces impeachment. Some might see echoes of events in Washington on January 6, 2020, when defeated US president Donald Trump gave succour to followers who invaded the US Capitol seeking to annul the election. Demonstration: Protesters demanding for the resignation of South Korean president Yoon Suk Yeol gather outside the National Assembly Building, in Seoul Global economic decision makers are always on alert for the next disruption hard on the heels of the great financial crisis, Covid and Russia’s war on Ukraine. No one predicted it would come from South Korea. The trigger was a stand-off over a budget which would have increased funding to Yoon’s office, the police and other public bodies. Yoon sought to blame North Korean influencers in the legislature for the need to restore order. For a few hours markets wobbled. The South Korean currency, the won, tumbled to a two-year low. A bid by a private equity behemoth for HD Marine Solution was pulled. Korean stocks plunged. South Korea lives by exports. This writer is a user of a Samsung TV, mobile phone and watch. Seoul is vulnerable to Trump-era tariffs. Citibank estimates that the tariffs will lower output from 1.8 per cent to 1.6 per cent in 2025.

Hopefully, this is a catastrophe averted. Mind the gap Closer to home, our new Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander has been celebrating the renationalisation of South Western Railway, saying we can look forward to better service and lower fares. How, is less clear. She argues axing the management fees paid by Government to the rail firms will help. Maybe, but the Government will need to employ new managers. Neither Network Rail nor Transport for London are known for frugal pay. Similarly, Alexander cited industrial peace by settling with the unions. But that is likely to lead to higher fares given that the big giveaway lacked any productivity requirement. If real improvements are to be made then it will mean modernisation. That requires money. When it comes to the next public spending round in June rail will compete with the NHS, education, social care and much else. Commuters will be low on the priority list.

Michigan’s success in recent years has leaned heavily on its dominant defense and a physical, ground-and-pound rushing attack. Last season, the Wolverines captured the national championship with a rushing offense that, while ranked 59th in yards per game (169.1), excelled at finding the end zone, finishing sixth nationally with 2.7 rushing touchdowns per game. Key contributors Blake Corum and Donovan Edwards powered the offense, embodying Michigan’s hard-nosed approach under Jim Harbaugh. However, this year’s Michigan offense took a major hit after a mass exodus of upperclassmen from last season’s championship team. The Wolverines ranked 112th in total offense and averaged just 22.3 points per game, leaving a glaring need for reinforcements heading into 2025. Head coach Sherrone Moore appears committed to maintaining the program’s run-heavy identity, diving into the transfer portal to add a significant weapon to the backfield with Alabama running back Justice Haynes, according to CBS Sports' Matt Zenitz. Haynes, who committed to Michigan on Tuesday, was one of Alabama’s highest-ranked recruits in the 2023 class. Haynes was a five-star prospect ranked as the No. 34 overall recruit, the No. 3 running back, and the No. 3 prospect from Georgia, per 247Sports. As a transfer, he’s considered the No. 26 overall player and the top running back in the portal. In two seasons and 25 games at Alabama, Haynes logged 104 carries for 616 yards and nine touchdowns. Now, he’ll head to Ann Arbor, where he’s expected to compete with rising star Jordan Marshall and the rest of Michigan’s talented running back room for the starting role. Haynes is Michigan’s eighth transfer portal addition this cycle and the second-highest-rated among them. He’s also the second Alabama player to join the Wolverines this offseason, following defensive lineman Damon Payne. With Haynes in the fold, Michigan hopes to reinvigorate an offense that will also look to transfer quarterback Mikey Keene or five-star high school prospect Bryce Underwood for a spark in 2025. Together, these additions could give the Wolverines the shot in the arm they need to defend their title and keep their championship aspirations alive.Ian Schieffelin came within two assists of a triple-double and Clemson handed Penn State its first loss with a 75-67 decision for the championship of the Sunshine Slam tournament Tuesday in Daytona Beach, Fla. Schieffelin finished with 18 points, 13 rebounds and eight assists for the Tigers (6-1), leading four players in double figures. Chase Hunter added 17 points, while Chauncey Wiggins scored 14 and reserve Del Jones chipped in 10 points. Clemson sank 9 of 19 3-pointers, converted 16 of 20 free throws and was able to limit the impact of the Nittany Lions' full-court pressure. The Tigers committed just 13 turnovers, helping them hold Penn State (6-1) to less than 85 points for the first time this year. Ace Baldwin starred in defeat with game highs of 20 points and 11 assists, while center Yanic Konan Niederhauser added 14 points. Nick Kern came off the bench to score 11 but Penn State was outscored 15-2 on the fast break and made just 4 of 18 attempts from 3-point range. Schieffelin came up big down the stretch, assisting on a 3-pointer by Jaeden Zackery with 6:04 left that made it 65-61. Then he made two foul shots and tossed in a jump hook from the lane to up the margin to 71-66 with 1:03 left. The big storyline going into this game was which team would be able to control the pace. Penn State came in averaging 96 ppg, while Clemson demonstrated its ability to enforce a slower tempo in March, advancing to a regional final in the NCAA Tournament. In the first 10 minutes of the game, the Tigers made the Nittany Lions play at a crawl, opening up a 17-10 advantage when Schieffelin converted a short hook in the lane. But Penn State answered with an 18-4 run over nearly six minutes, establishing a 28-21 lead when Kern shook free for a layup. Clemson rallied with nine straight points but the Nittany Lions had the last say as Baldwin converted a layup with 24 seconds left, cutting the Tigers' edge to 38-36 at halftime. --Field Level Media

LAHAINA, Hawaii (AP) — Andrej Jakimovski converted an off-balance layup with 8 seconds left, and Colorado handed No. 2 UConn its second loss in two days at the Maui Invitational, beating the two-time defending national champion 73-72 on Tuesday. A day after a 99-97 overtime loss to Memphis that left Huskies coach Dan Hurley livid about the officiating, UConn (4-2) couldn't shake the unranked Buffaloes (5-1), who shot 62.5% in the second half. With Colorado trailing 72-71 in the closing seconds, Jakimovski drove to his right and absorbed contact from UConn’s Liam McNeeley. He tossed the ball toward the glass and the shot was good as he fell to the floor. Hassan Diarra missed a 3-pointer just ahead of the buzzer for UConn. Elijah Malone and Julian Hammond III scored 16 points each for Colorado, and Jakimovski had 12 points and 10 rebounds. The Huskies led 40-32 at halftime and by nine points early in the second half, but Colorado quickly closed that gap. McNeeley led UConn with 20 points. UConn: Hurley's squad is facing its first adversity in quite a while. The Huskies arrived on Maui with a 17-game winning streak that dated to February. Colorado: The Buffaloes were held to season lows in points (56) and field goal percentage (37%) in a 16-point loss to Michigan State on Monday but shot 51.1% overall and 56.3% (9 of 16) from 3-point range against the Huskies. Hurley called timeout to set up the Huskies' final possession, but the Buffs forced them to take a contested 3. Colorado had a 28-26 rebounding advantage after being out-rebounded 42-29 by Michigan State. Colorado will play the Iowa-Dayton winner in the fifth-place game on Wednesday. UConn will play the loser of that matchup in the seventh-place game. Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here .
