‘Conte has banished Mourinho’s ghost’ Pulis believes the Arsenal supporters who are keen to see the 67-year-old’s reign end when his contract expires at the end of the season could end up waiting for another six years and doubts the Gunners boss ever wants to stop. The West Brom coach and Wenger have been involved in run-ins over the years, but he offered his full backing to the under-pressure Frenchman ahead of their top-flight meeting at The Hawthorns on Saturday....

Wentz hurt his right hand as the Eagles were beaten 17-9 by the high-flying Seattle Seahawks in NFL action on Sunday. The under-fire QB finished 33 of 45 for 256 yards, a touchdown and four turnovers – two interceptions and two lost fumbles – as the Eagles fell to 5-6. Following further testing on Monday, Pederson told reporters: “He’s got a little bruise in his hand, kind of on the middle finger there....

The 20-year-old moved to the Premier League side for an undisclosed fee and on a five-year contract. Baggies 11/4 to finish top Midlands club Ex-Nottingham Forest attacker Burke finished second in the Bundesliga with Leipzig after his £13 million move, but started just five of his 25 games in the German top-flight and scored once. Earlier this month, Frank de Boer confirmed Crystal Palace were interested in signing Burke, but Leipzig sporting director Ralf Rangnick said the club hoped to hold on to the five-time Scotland international....

The league leaders travel to West Brom with an impressive away record. They will be keen on extending that even further – Arsenal have won their last 12 away matches, a run which started with a win against Bayern Munich in last year’s Champions league, which is a club record. This is Arsenal’s best start to the Premier League in 6 years, with 15 points out of a possible 18 from 6 matches....

The leg-spinner enjoyed a stellar 18 year international career that saw him travel around the world, take 10 wickets in one innings, break his jaw only to continue bowling and create records for his fast leg spinners on his way to becoming India’s most successful bowler ever. Now, he’s at the head of a talented bunch of youngsters who look set to dominate world cricket in the years to come....

In a letter published on Medium, the Long Gray Line made veiled references to West Point graduates who “acquiesce to bullying.” The letter also said graduates who fail to uphold their oaths of office “threaten the credibility of an apolitical military.” “When leaders betray public faith through deceitful rhetoric, quibbling, or the appearance of unethical behavior, it erodes public trust,” the letter said. “When fellow graduates acquiesce to bullying, and fail to defend honorable subordinates, it harms the nation and the Long Gray Line....

Well, actually, no. Another top staffer, trying to tamp down the hyperbole, nudged Fleischer to revise his estimates. “I stand corrected: 25,000 to 50,000 in Lithuania and 50,000 to 100,000 in Romania,” Fleischer said. He was still off by nearly 100,000: about 10,000 turned out in the Lithuanian capital of Vilnius and about 50,000 in cold and rainy Bucharest. At first, I didn’t understand why White House staffers–always loath to engage in “hypotheticals” of any sort–were talking up the hypothetical turnout in the first place....

Remembering Ronald Reagan’s wood chopping days at his beloved ranch north of Santa Barbara- and the image of an affable but hands-off president that came with it-the aide marveled: “My God, he’s just like Reagan.” When George W. first took office there were inevitable comparisons to Bush I. Not only does Bush the Younger have his father’s looks and his gift for garble, but many of the Elder’s team-Dick Cheney, Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rice-re-enlisted for Bush II....

Ducklo shared a statement to Twitter announcing his resignation and apologizing for his actions. “No words can express my regret, my embarrassment, and my disgust for my behavior. I used language that no woman should ever have to hear from anyone, especially in a situation where she was just trying to do her job. It was language that was abhorrent, disrespectful, and unacceptable,” he said. “I am devastated to have embarrassed and disappointed my White House colleagues and President Biden, and after a discussion with White House communications leadership tonight, I resigned my position and will not be returning from administrative leave....

The series decline began with middling releases like Silent Hill: Downpour, but the biggest upset for the franchise was undoubtedly the cancellation of Hideo Kojima’s Silent Hills back in 2015. Ever since then, fans have been scrambling for a sign of a revival, with each passing day leading to more and more disappointment. Things may appear bleak now, but hope remains for the Silent Hill franchise to make a strong comeback sometime in the future....

There are many types of mood disorders, including major depressive disorder and bipolar disorder, among others. Symptoms vary by condition and from person to person. It is estimated that 21.4% of adults in the United States will experience some type of mood disorder throughout their lives. Mood disorders are not the same as normal mood fluctuations. Fluctuations in mood are a normal response to everyday occurrences and stressors, and usually do not negatively affect one’s quality of life and overall ability to function....

The White House passed the plan in August, eliminating up to $10,000 for borrowers who make less than $125,000 and up to $20,000 for Pell Grant recipients. The relief is only available for those with federal loans rather than private loans, however some states are saying that any student loan debt relief could harm their incomes by eliminating profits from interest. Shortly after the plan passed, six Republican-led states filed a lawsuit saying the president didn’t act lawfully with the policy....

It’s also a treatment for gestational diabetes, a temporary form of diabetes that can develop during pregnancy. Insulin also may be necessary to help manage type 2 diabetes when lifestyle changes and oral medications aren’t enough to keep blood sugar levels stable. According to the American Diabetes Association (ADA), there are more than 20 types of insulin sold in the United States. For healthcare providers, this means there are lots of options for tailoring treatment to patients’ specific needs....

The actor and former governor shared his thoughts on Caitlyn Jenner’s bid to replace Newsom on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Monday. “Anyone has a chance because the people are dissatisfied with what’s going on here in California,” the Terminator star said. Jenner, a former Olympic athlete and reality television personality who is a long-time Republican, is seeking to oust Newsom, a Democrat, in a recall election. Schwarzenegger, who was governor of California from 2003 to 2011, said: “The key thing about all of this is it doesn’t matter if it’s Caitlyn or anyone else—to have a clear vision of where you want to go, what are the kind of changes you want to make and why are you qualified to become governor....

Hiddink took charge of Chelsea in December as Jose Mourinho got sacked even after winning the English Premier League last season. But Pulis believes Hiddink is not worth the praise he is receiving now. “To be honest, what’s been said is a load of c**p in lots of respects,” Pulis was quoted as saying by goal.com. “The fact Mourinho won the league by a country mile - to say someone’s come in and changed it and they’re playing better and doing everything else better....

Matt Phillips (4 minutes), James Morrison (16) and captain Darren Fletcher (37) scored before the break and Salomon Rondon wrapped up the win with their fourth goal just past the hour. The win took West Brom above their opponents as they jumped three places to ninth on 16 points from 12 games. Burnley slipped one spot to 12th as they remained on 14 points. Burnley were totally outplayed by Tony Pulis’s rampant side and have still not won in the league at the Hawthorns since December 1969, losing on nine of their 10 visits since....

First-half goals from Sadio Mane and Philippe Coutinho put the dominant hosts in complete control on Merseyside. Gareth McAuley did pull one back for the Baggies with just under 10 minutes remaining, but an equalizer would have been unjust as Jurgen Klopp’s side moved joint top, behind Arsenal only on goal difference. Liverpool gets the better of Baggies Liverpool’s last league title came in 1990 — with Brendan Rodgers’ Luis Suarez-inspired side coming agonisingly close in 2013/14 — but Pulis believes its absence from European competition this season benefits the side’s cause....

The Warriors committed way too many turnovers at the start of the game, and this affected their rhythm on the offensive end. Given how the Houston Rockets pushed the ball in transition, the Warriors defense was routinely found wanting as their opponents were able to score from the most efficient areas of the court in a manner that will be concerning for coach Steve Kerr. The Rockets were touted as their biggest challenge yet in the Kevin Durant era, and that prediction seems to be true based on the evidence from this game....

Chicago sign Schweinsteiger Reports on Tuesday suggested that the Hammers held an interest in securing the signature of the Manchester United captain, should he become available this summer. However, sources have now confirmed that the Hammers would not be able to afford such a costly transfer, with Rooney’s wages prohibitive. The 31-year-old’s current contract runs until 2019, with the striker earning £300,000-per-week at Old Trafford. The Hammers are prioritising a move for a new right-back this summer, with Pablo Zabaleta and Bacary Sagna, both of Manchester City, on Slaven Bilic’s shortlist....

Pep Guardiola decided to rest Sergio Aguero and Bernardo Silva for the opener, leisure of having the squad depth of City at the disposal. With Sane injured too, City lined up with Sterling, Jesus, and Mahrez at the front. Rodri got his first PL start while Cancelo started from the bench. Manuel Pellegrini lined up with a double pivot in a 4-2-3-1 formation, surprisingly leaving Fornals out of his starting 11....
