  • Aston Villa vs. Tottenham Hotspur: FA Cup 4th round game time, live blog, and how to watch online


    All the good Tottenham Hotspur vibes that had started to build again over the last few weeks went straight out the window following Liverpool’s demolition of the Lilywhites in the EFL Cup midweek. There’s no time for Spurs to lick their wounds, however, with a short turnaround before today’s match against Aston Villa.

    Spurs are in the fourth round courtesy of a labored victory over National League side Tamworth, and Villa are just a few rungs higher on the English football ladder. The Villains will be fresh as well, having had the week off to prepare while Spurs crashed out of another cup competition.

    Regardless, Ange Postecoglou will be keen to turn things around, with a little help from his January reinforcements. Two of those, Kevin Danso and Mathys Tel, were able to hold their heads high in the defeat to Liverpool, and will surely be in the starting lineup with injuries aplenty both in defense and the forward line. Can Spurs overcome whatever fresh hell the universe serves up this time and come away victorious?

    COYS!

  • Bayern Munich vs Werder Bremen: Gamethread and Live Blog — Game time, hoo!


    1’: LET’S GOOOOOOOOOO!!!

    Vincent Kompany is rolling with the guys that he trusts and performed well in the first half against Holstein Kiel. The only change from that starting lineup is Sacha Boey replacing Konrad Laimer. Luckily, Laimer is still available and will be one of the first substitutes.

    Bonus note: After extending his contract earlier this month, 16-year old attacker Wisdom Mike (no relation to Prison Mike or Date Mike) is on the 18-man roster today. If the game is tight, it is unlikely that he is selected ahead of Leroy Sané, Thomas Müller, Konrad Laimer, Leon Goretzka, or even Gabriel Vidovic. But if Bayern can build an insurmountable lead, this might be the inaugural appearance of a bright, young player.

    In the Hinrunde, Bayern Munich walloped Werder Bremen with a 5-0 victory at the Weserstadion. Bayern has only dropped points once this season at the Allianz Arena and this matchup should not be any different. Vincent Kompany will demand 60 solid minutes from his starters to take a commanding lead before resting them in advance of the midweek Champions League clash at Celtic. It feels unlikely that Bayern will repeat the inconceivable act of conceding three unanswered goals in the second half.

    Odds: Bayern (-900), Draw (+900), Werder Bremen (+1600), Over/Under 3.5 goals

    Prediction: Bayern wins 4-2. After the first 15 minutes of Bayern dominating possession, Marvin Ducksch heads in a corner to give Bremen a surprising lead. Five minutes later, Jamal Musiala goes rage mode and dribbles through five Bremen defenders to bring the game level. Right before halftime, Michael Olise bends light itself with a curling left footed shot from the top of the box. In the second half, Andre Silva ties the game again with a back post finish. In the 80th minute, Harry Kane scores a rebound on his 20th touch of the game. In stoppage time, Thomas Müller puts the game out of reach and celebrates like he has just won the Quidditch Cup for Gryffindor.

    It’s Bayern time.

The 19-year-old talent only made the move to the Premier League side last year, when he signed from Red Star for €7.6m but after just 10 games with Villa he now seems set for a future in the Bundesliga. The deal reported as an agreement attached that will allow Leipzig to buy Nedeljkovic in the summer. 

    One of the biggest rumours to start the day is news that Chelsea defender Ben Chilwell will be departing Stamford Bridge before the end of the window. According to the Telegraph, the England international is set for a loan move to Crystal Palace, having been entirely overlooked by Enzo Maresca this season. 



    Welcome to Transfermarkt deadline day live blog! We have some exciting transfer news to bring to you as the deadline approaches.

    First up, it looks like Willian could be on the move once again, with reports suggesting he is close to a return to Fulham. The Brazilian winger previously had a successful spell at the club and could be set for a reunion with his former teammates.

    In other news, it seems that González is edging closer to a move to Manchester City. The talented midfielder has been linked with a number of top clubs, but it looks like City have won the race for his signature. This could be a huge coup for Pep Guardiola’s side as they look to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season.

    Stay tuned for more updates as the deadline approaches!

  • WWE SmackDown results, live blog (Jan. 31, 2025): Royal Rumble go home show


    WWE Friday Night SmackDown comes waltzing back into our lives tonight (Jan. 31, 2025) with a live show emanating from the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana, featuring all the latest build to the upcoming Royal Rumble premium live event scheduled for tomorrow night down the road at Lucas Oil Stadium.

    Advertised for tonight: It’s the final show before one of the biggest events of the year!

    Chelsea Green will put the United States championship on the line against Michin, the Motor City Machine Guns team with Los Garza to take on DIY & Pretty Deadly, Naomi battles Liv Morgan, Jimmy Uso goes head-to-head with Carmelo Hayes, and a whole lot more!

    Come right back here at 8 pm ET when the SmackDown live blog kicks off once the show starts on USA Network. It will be below this line here. (Note: Links to illegal streams are prohibited. Pics and GIFs are allowed.)

    WWE SMACKDOWN RESULTS AND LIVE BLOG FOR JAN. 31

    Language barriers broken, now we’ve found the key. And if you want the wind of change to blow about you and you’re the only other person to know, don’t tell me, I’m just here to liveblog this here pro wrestling show for you, folks.

    The show opens with the usual montage of talent arriving at the arena.

    Michael Cole is in the Okerlund Position to welcome us to the show and hype up the Royal Rumble, as well as introducing Pat McAfee.

    Pat cuts a promo about his efforts to bring the Rumble to Indianapolis and talks up the city.

    They toss to Joe Tessitore in the ring.

    He talks about his interview with Cody Rhodes last week and Kevin Owens’ interruption of the broadcast later in the show demanding equal treatment, so now he’d like to give him that opportunity to be properly heard.

    Kevin Owens makes his entrance.

    Joe says Kevin’s actions were egregious but made him think about what he had to say and he wants to give him his fair treatment he demands.

    Owens asks if this is his way of making amends, because last week all he saw was Tessitore only caring about Cody’s feelings and being a little fanboy like everyone else. Joe won’t apologize for his treatment of Rhodes but will apologize for the uneven treatment, but KO refuses the apology.

    Owens says the only reason he’s here is to take the Winged Eagle back and he takes it off the ascender, thanks Joe for nothing, and goes to take his leave—

    Enter CM Punk.

    He soaks in the adulation of the “CM Punk!” chants that follow him for a moment. Owens asks if he can help him and Punk offers an apology for looking past him but just so he knows, tomorrow when he wins the Royal Rumble, and if Kevin makes it past Cody, hell the main event of WrestleMania could very well be Kevin Owens defending against CM Punk.

    And if he wins, he WILL be coming after the WWE Undisputed Championship. KO says he’s conflicted, because there’s 29 other guys in the Rumble that he likes more than Punk even though he doesn’t know everyone that’s gonna be in the Rumble, but the thought of the two of them in the main event of WrestleMania, or rather him beating CM’s ass in the main event of WrestleMania, he likes that.

    And he knows what main eventing WrestleMania means to Punk, and how heartbreaking it was for him to get hurt last year. He says he loves thought of CM never getting to realize that dream, it gives him a warm fuzzy feeling inside to picture him old, broken, and alone, obsessing over the fact that Owens is a multiple time main eventer while Punk goes to his grave a miserable failure.

    So actually, he hopes Punk doesn’t win the Royal Rumble, and he goes to take his leave. Punk calls him back and congratulates him on main eventing twice and accomplishing a lot in his career, one of the best. Here’s something else he hasn’t done that someone else has— he, personally, CM Punk, has never lost five title matches at the Royal Rumble.

    No, that was KO. He’s also never lost to Logan Paul, but Owens has. He’s never even attempted to manipulate his best friend who he’s stabbed in the back multiple times to help him win a title because he wasn’t confident enough in his own ability, but Kevin has. Punk stands or falls on his own merits, Owens takes shortcuts.

    Punk says he has to win the Rumble and KO has to survive Cody Rhodes in a dangerous ladder match tomorrow for them to fight at WrestleMania, but only one thing stands in the way of Owens eating an asskicking tonight, and that’s coming back in the ring. He bids Kev to not be afraid and to come back in the ring, but Owens walks out.

    The Miz is chatting with Nick Aldis in his office.

    He talks shit about Andrade el Idolo and turns around and of course Andrade is there, asking why he’s dissing him. Miz says he’s just stubborn and he could learn a lot from him if he was just willing. El Idolo challenges him, the A-Lister says he’ll teach him any time, anywhere, and Aldis makes the match for tonight.

    Commentary hypes up the show.

    “Big” Jim Uso is walking backstage and cuts a promo on Carmelo Hayes while Shinsuke Nakamura lurks in the background.

    He says if Hayes misses tonight, he’s gonna dunk on him, and makes his entrance.

    Carmelo Hayes makes his entrance and says Uso says he’s the one, but he’s actually the two (it’s a poop joke) and runs him down with a sports reference before heading to the ring.

    Carmelo Hayes vs. “Big” Jim Uso



    Welcome to our live blog of WWE SmackDown, the final stop before the Royal Rumble pay-per-view! Tonight’s show is sure to be action-packed as the superstars of SmackDown prepare for the highly-anticipated event.

    – The show kicks off with a bang as Universal Champion Roman Reigns makes his way to the ring. He cuts a scathing promo on his Royal Rumble challenger, Brock Lesnar, vowing to once again prove that he is the “Tribal Chief” of WWE.

    – In a high-flying tag team match, Rey Mysterio and Dominik Mysterio pick up a victory over The Usos. The Mysterios show off their incredible teamwork and athleticism, sending a message to the rest of the tag team division.

    – Women’s Champion Sasha Banks defends her title against Liv Morgan in a hard-fought match. Banks traps Morgan in the Banks Statement, forcing her to tap out and retain her championship. After the match, Banks is confronted by Rhea Ripley, who declares her intention to challenge for the title at the Royal Rumble.

    – In a backstage segment, Intercontinental Champion Sami Zayn is seen taunting his Royal Rumble challenger, Shinsuke Nakamura. Zayn promises to outsmart Nakamura once again and retain his title at the event.

    – The main event of the evening sees a six-man tag team match pitting WWE Champion AJ Styles, Edge, and Randy Orton against Kevin Owens, Seth Rollins, and Bobby Lashley. The match is chaotic and hard-hitting, with all six men giving it their all. In the end, Styles picks up the win for his team after hitting a Phenomenal Forearm on Rollins.

    That’s all for tonight’s WWE SmackDown! Tune in this Sunday for the Royal Rumble pay-per-view, where all of these rivalries will come to a head. Thanks for joining us on this live blog, and we’ll see you next time!

  • BioWare Studio Update – BioWare Blog


    State of BioWare

    Hello Everyone,

    Today, we are turning towards the future and preparing for the next chapter in BioWare’s story. As we announced in August 2023, we are changing how we build games to meet the needs of our upcoming projects and hold ourselves to the highest quality standards. 

    Now that Dragon Age: The Veilguard has been released, a core team at BioWare is developing the next Mass Effect game under the leadership of veterans from the original trilogy, including Mike Gamble, Preston Watamaniuk, Derek Watts, Parrish Ley, and others.

    In keeping with our fierce commitment to innovating during the development and delivery of Mass Effect, we have challenged ourselves to think deeply about delivering the best experience to our fans. We are taking this opportunity between full development cycles to reimagine how we work at BioWare.

    Given this stage of development, we don’t require support from the full studio. We have incredible talent here at BioWare, and so we have worked diligently over the past few months to match many of our colleagues with other teams at EA that had open roles that were a strong fit.

    Today’s news will see BioWare become a more agile, focused studio that produces unforgettable RPGs. We appreciate your support as we build a new future for BioWare.

    Gary McKay

    General Manager, BioWare

    In addition to our game development efforts, we are also focused on fostering a positive and inclusive community. We continue to listen to your feedback and strive to improve our communication and engagement with all of you. Your voices are incredibly important to us, and we are committed to creating a welcoming and respectful environment for everyone.

    We also want to take a moment to thank our incredible team members for their dedication and passion. Their hard work and creativity are what make BioWare games so special, and we are grateful for everything they do.

    In the coming weeks and months, we look forward to sharing more updates and news with you all. Stay tuned to our blog and social channels for the latest information on our projects and studio happenings.

  • Tottenham Hotspur vs. Elfsborg: Europa League game time, live blog, and how to watch online


    The equation for Tottenham Hotspur is simple. Win their next Europa League match, and they qualify for the top eight, meaning Spurs would advance directly to the Round of 16.

    Their only opposition: Elfsborg.

    The Swedish side will be fresh, having only played Europa League and club friendlies due to the Allsvenskan calendar. This also means they may not be prepared for the rigors of a tough European tie, and one would think Spurs would be much too tough an opponent.

    For Spurs, the injury woes have continued, and Ange will have to balance his (lack of) available players between this match, the weekend’s fixture against Brentford in the league, and the looming away leg of Spurs’ EFL Cup semi-final tie against Liverpool. This one could be a bit of a struggle-fest, but the Lilywhites will be doing their utmost to reduce their fixture list and achieve a shot at European glory.

    COYS!

    Match thread rules

    The match thread rules are the same as always. To any visitors coming here for the first time, welcome! We’re glad you’re here! Wipe your feet, mind the gap, and be sure to check out the other pages at this outstanding site. While you’re here, though, we have a few rules and regulations:

    • Absolutely no links to illegal streams. They’re bad and they get us in trouble. Violators will be warned or banned.
    • We have rules against “relentless negativity.” Nobody likes a Negative Nancy. Don’t knee-jerk and post outlandish or hurtful things just because you’re frustrated.
    • Along those lines, outright abuse of players or match officials is also not allowed. It’s fine to say “wow, that was a really bad call,” but it’s NOT okay to direct copious amounts of abuse in the direction of said official over a call you did not like.
    • Treat other people in the match thread the way you would want someone else to treat your grandmother. Be nice. This is a community of fans, not an un-moderated message board.
    • NO SPIDERS!
    • Finally, while we don’t have a rule against profanity, please try and keep the naughty words in check. Also, language that is sexist, racist, transphobic, or homophobic in nature will be swiftly deleted and you will be immediately banned. This is an open, supportive community.

    Have fun, and COYS!

    De’Sean Quinn appointed as newest King County Councilmember

    9:27 pm     Posted in King County, White Center news | No Comments »

    Since King County is the “local government” for White Center, this appointment is of note even though it involves a council district south of ours. Here’s the official announcement:

    The King County Council on Tuesday voted to appoint De’Sean Quinn to fill the District 5 council seat vacated when Dave Upthegrove was elected as Washington State Lands Commissioner.

    “I am thrilled to welcome our new colleague, Councilmember De’Sean Quinn, to the King County Council! With his strong, steady leadership and deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing our region, he’s ready to hit the ground running,” said King County Council Chair Girmay Zahilay. “Together, I look forward to partnering on the critical issues impacting South King County, ensuring that workers and families have the resources, support, and opportunities they need to thrive. This is an exciting opportunity to make a real difference, and I’m eager to partner in creating a stronger more prosperous feature for our communities.”

    Quinn is a current Tukwila City Councilmember who has served in that role since 2008. He is also a King County employee, working as assistant general manager of Partnerships and Strategies for King County Metro. He will resign both these positions before he is sworn in as a King County Councilmember. Quinn also previously served as community relations manager for former Executive Ron Sims, as council relations director, and as regional relations manager under Executive Dow Constantine.

    District 5 represents the cities of Renton, Kent, Des Moines, SeaTac, and Normandy Park. Quinn will serve until the results of the November general election are certified.

    Central Alabama residents should be prepared for potentially hazardous driving conditions as a freezing fog advisory has been issued until 9am CST Tuesday. The advisory includes areas such as Birmingham, Tuscaloosa, and Montgomery.

    According to the Alabama Weather Blog, freezing fog occurs when the temperature drops below freezing and fog develops. This can create icy patches on roads and sidewalks, making for dangerous travel conditions. Drivers are advised to use caution and allow extra time to reach their destinations.

    It is important to remember to slow down, use headlights, and increase following distance when driving in foggy conditions. Additionally, be sure to check your vehicle’s fluids, tires, and brakes to ensure they are in good working order.

    Stay safe, Central Alabama, and be sure to stay updated on the latest weather conditions. Let’s all work together to stay safe on the roads during this freezing fog advisory.

  • West Seattle Blog… | Former Southwest Precinct crime-prevention coordinator Mark Solomon appointed to Seattle City Council


    After five rounds of voting, the Seattle City Council has just appointed Mark Solomon to fill the District 2 seat from which Tammy Morales recently resigned. You might recall Solomon from his years as Southwest Precinct crime-prevention coordinator, a civilian role he has continued to fill for the South Precinct. He’s sought council positions before, both in elections (losing to Morales in 2019) and in application/nomination processes like this one (such as the citywide Position 8 process a year ago), but this will be his first time serving. Solomon was the choice of District 1 Councilmember Rob Saka throughout this morning’s voting and was the top votegetter throughout, but stuck at four of eight votes until the last round. He will have the job until someone is elected in November to fill the remaining two years of Morales’s term.





    Former Southwest Precinct crime-prevention coordinator Mark Solomon has been appointed to the Seattle City Council, bringing his expertise in community safety and crime prevention to the forefront of city governance.

    Solomon, who previously served as the liaison between law enforcement and the community in West Seattle, will now be representing the interests of residents across the city. His experience in working closely with neighborhoods to address public safety concerns makes him a valuable addition to the council.

    As a longtime advocate for community policing and crime prevention strategies, Solomon is well-equipped to address the pressing issues facing Seattle, including rising crime rates and the need for effective law enforcement tactics.

    We look forward to seeing how Solomon’s unique perspective and dedication to serving the community will shape the future of our city. Stay tuned for updates on his work and initiatives as a member of the Seattle City Council.
