All the latest transfer rumours The Magpies will begin the campaign with a home match against Tottenham, but following the relegation of local rivals Sunderland and Middlesbrough their first meeting with Manchester United on November 18 at Old Trafford may be the one fans look forward to most. With Rafa Benitez having inspired a new wave of optimism and money to spend, Newcastle’s expectations will stretch beyond avoiding relegation back to the Championship....

Two moments of superb class by Fabian Schar and Callum Wilson produced the decisive goals in the second half. Schar stepped up from his defensive position to fire an angled blast into the top right corner of the goal, and Callum Wilson applied a classy touch on a cross in the box, curling it in for the second goal that put the game away. The difference in quality and seasoning between the two sides was stark as the game went on....

The Sporting Kansas City striker made his U.S. national team debut on Saturday, and made the most of it, playing well as the U.S. team’s lone striker and scoring a goal in his debut to help the Americans beat Ghana, 2-1, in a pre-Gold Cup friendly. Match report: USA 2-1 Ghana “It meant a lot to me,” Dwyer said of his debut, and 19th-minute volley finish. “It’s been a long road to get here....

Given the 92 percent hostility of news media coverage toward Trump, I suspect there is an unspoken Trump vote that will not tell polls they support him. It is probably a big enough group of voters to mean that he is now tied with or leading Biden. After two and a half years of being stuck around 40 percent for approval ratings– and occasionally trailing Democrats by double digits – what is happening?...

You might be surprised that an election that happened nearly a half century ago could be the best forerunner for next year’s historic collision between the news media and Left on one side and President Trump and his grassroots enthusiasm on the other. Yet, the more I have watched and analyzed what is going on, the more convinced I am that 2020 is becoming a referendum almost exactly like 1972 was....

Toyota will sell the third-generation 2022 Tundra in SR, SR5, Limited, Platinum, 1794 and TRD Pro grades. For Tundra’s next act, Toyota has given it the body of a grown up Tacoma. A variety to standard and available equipment and feature packages allow the truck to ride on 18- or 20-inch wheels. Buyers can choose from 11 body paint colors. Not all colors are available on every Tundra grade....

Mrs. Clinton also needs time to have the house prepared for the family’s Secret Service detail, who have to OK the property. So does town building inspector William Maskeill, who has cited an illegal apartment over the garage. But Maskeill has allowed some leeway “due to the unique situation of the buyers,” noting that if, as expected, the security team occupies the garage, it will most likely be acceptable. However soon Hillary makes the move, it’s probable that two future Chappaquans–First Pets Socks the cat and Buddy the dog–will stay in Washington until 2001....

Undoubtedly the big news was Neymar’s announcement that he is no longer walking with crutches. The Brazil international, who may yet feature for Paris Saint-Germain before the end of the season, is racing to be as fit as possible for the World Cup, and while his exact date of return remains unknown, there is little doubt that he is making progress towards his goal. “Bye bye crutches, never again,” the 26-year-old former Barcelona striker said....

PSG to win Ligue 1 - 1/5 While this stratospheric figure is far in excess of anything any club has ever paid for a player before, it is certainly not the first time the club has been associated with a giant move. Indeed, since Qatar Sports Investments (QSI) took the club over in 2011, PSG have become one of the major players on the transfer scene. It did not take the club’s Qatari owners to make their presence felt, swooping to sign Javier Pastore for a figure of around €40m from Palermo mere weeks into their reign....

The Greenwich, Connecticut–based company offers hundreds of digital classes ranging from cycling, cardio dance and barre to yoga and meditation. MYX Fitness’s biggest competitor in the market is Peloton, one of the first, and most popular, streaming services for exercising at home. The influx of on-demand fitness services poses a question: How can competitors stay afloat in such a saturated market? “Peloton is like Netflix—they were the first movers in the industry....

Line: Louisville -3, Total: 130 (current lines for Friday’s Sweet 16 games) In fact, quite the opposite is true based on recent Tournament history, with No. 8 seeds who just upset the No. 1 a perfect 5-0 in the Sweet 16 against a No. 4 or 5 since 2000 (h/t Warren Sharp). This trend is also 10-2 all-time, putting the Cardinals in what appears to be a tough spot as they attempt to return to the Elite Eight for the first time since winning the national championship in 2013....

A spokesman for the state attorney general’s office told The Press of Atlantic City and NJ.com that the division is looking into the actions of referee Alan Maloney, who told Buena Regional High School wrestler Andrew Johnson he would have to forfeit his match, per state rules, if he did not cut his hair. Johnson complied and went on to win his match. Maloney is white; Johnson is black....

Known as the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, the proposed legislation calls for individuals to receive $1,200 in direct help. That number would rise to $2,400 in households where two people file income tax joint returns. Normally scheduled for April, the deadline for filing income taxes would be bumped to July 2020. “We need to deliver relief now,” McConnell told the Senate on Friday. “We need to go big....

For decades, the realm of outer space travel was dominated by the U.S. and Russia, a reality set by their Cold War-era space race that ultimately helped fuel historic developments now also being advanced by a range of countries across the globe, including in Europe, India, Israel, Japan and the United Arab Emirates. No country’s rapid rise has grabbed as much global attention, however, as that of China, whose accelerated ascendance into space mirrors its lightning growth back on Earth....

The concepts were chosen as part of the agency’s Discovery Program—established in 1992—which invites scientists and engineers to propose missions that can deepen our understanding of our solar system. Currently, it is not clear which of the missions will be approved. To find out, we will have to wait until next year when a maximum of two selections will be made. For now, the research groups behind each of the ideas will be given $3 million to develop their concepts....

Earnhardt had a wild night, going from the pole to two laps down to the top 10 to out of the race. He’s still looking for his first win of the season and a spot in NASCAR’s playoffs. MORE: Coke Zero 400 complete results As for the drivers who finished the race, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. earned the win in overtime. Stenhouse passed David Ragan on the first lap and held off Clint Bowyer for his second career victory, both this season and both on restrictor-plate tracks (he won at Talladega previously)....

In the end, it was Ryan Blaney and Chase Elliott battling for that checkered flag. And although it looked like it was Blaney’s race to lose for much of the day, it was Elliott who made all the right moves in the final two laps. And it was the Hendrick Motorsports driver who rolled into victory lane, sealing his spot in the Round of 8. For all of Elliott’s exploits, Sunday’s victory wasn’t just on him....
