ENGLAND

Jack Wilshere came on as a second-half substitute, but was unable to stop Bournemouth from losing 3-2 away against Burnley in one of Saturday’s 3pm kick-offs. The result leaves Eddie Howe’s side in 11th place with 18 points from 15 matches, a victory would’ve propelled them into the top eight of the Premier League.

Glen Kamara was not involved as Colchester United drew 0-0 against Mansfield Town, the 21-year-old has only played 137 minutes of League Two football this term.

Goalkeeper Ryan Huddart didn’t have a match this weekend as Eastleigh’s next fixture is an FA Cup second-round tie away against Halifax Town on December 13.

NETHERLANDS

Kelechi Nwakali scored a 90th minute goal to secure victory for MVV Maastricht during their 2-0 win over De Graafschap on Friday evening. The talented teenager played the full match and impressed, with Andries Jonker said to be in attendance during the fixture.

His defensive teammate, Stefan O’Connor, was not involved in the matchday squad, starting to raise questions as to whether he has settled into life abroad in different surroundings.

Tafari Moore started and played the full match, but Utrecht’s second string side lost 4-2 against Cambuur.

SPAIN

Jon Toral was an unused substitute during Granada’s 1-1 draw against Malaga on Friday evening. The creative midfielder hasn’t featured since a brief cameo against Valencia in late November.

Who’s left to play?

Sunday fixtures for Arsenal’s loanees (all kick-off times GMT):

Nottingham Forest are tracking Vitoria Setubal’s Andre Claro, who will be out of contract in the summer, Portuguese outlet A Bola have reported.

Reports are emerging in Portugal that the Championship outfit had scouts go and watch him last night as Vitoria Setubal won 2-0 at home to Estoril.

The striker has played 13 matches in the Portuguese Liga this season, the highest level of Portuguese football, and has contributed 4 goals. Last season he bagged 12 in 34 league games for Setubal as they finished 15th in the league table.AdTech Ad

Andre Claro has only ever played football in Portugal, starting his career with giants Porto, before moving to Arouca FC in 2013, where he spent two years, joining current club Vitoria Setubal in 2015.

Nottingham Forest are 13th in the Championship table with 7 wins from 19 league games, totalling 25 points. Philippe Montanier’s side started 2016/17 quite well before their form dipped, however Forest have turned things round and are now unbeaten in their last 4 games.

BASKETBALL NEWS

The third two-game week for the 16 teams of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague began with four clashes on Tuesday. The injury bug hit a few teams, so stars like Keith Langford of Unics Kazan, Georgios Printezis of Olympiacos Piraeus and Fabien Causeur of Brose Bamberg were all sidelined, but two of those teams overcame their absences with other players stepping up. The EuroLeague Gurus look at who and what made the difference to propel Unics, Olympiacos, Zalgiris Kaunas and Real Madrid to victories.

Match update:

Kessie rescues Atalanta v Empoli

Ivorian youngster Franck Kessie hit a second-half leveller and set up a dramatic last-gasp winner as Atalanta ended a three-game winless run in a 2-1 win over Empoli on Tuesday.

Atalanta, who last month were being tipped for a place in next season’s Europa League, left it late to overcome their Tuscan visitors.

Empoli fired a warning when Levan Mchedlidze got on the end of a free-kick six minutes after the restart to flick the ball past Marco Sportiello at the goalkeeper’s far post.

It gave the visitors hope of claiming their first pair of consecutive league wins since December 2015, but Kessie, a towering striker who is already courting interest from a number of top clubs, was a game-changer.

After celebrating his 20th birthday on Monday, he replaced Jasmin Kurtic at halftime and on 74 minutes picked up a loose ball on the edge of the area to beat Lukasz Skorupski with a vicious low drive inside the keeper’s near post.

Atalanta fought till the bitter end and after Kessie battled to keep possession wide on the left, he whipped in a cross that came off two bodies before Marco D’Alessandro poked the loose ball into the net for a last-minute winner.

Atalanta finish 2016 among some prestigious company, with only AC Milan, Lazio, Napoli, Roma and champions Juventus above them.

Empoli remain fourth from bottom, five points above the relegation places.

Juventus are due to face AC Milan for the Italian Super Cup in Doha on Friday, meaning their respective fixtures have been postponed until February.

Inter Milan host Lazio on Wednesday when a win for the visitors, fourth at eight points behind Juve, could move as high as second with a win.

City rivals Roma, who are without defender Kostas Manolas and midfield pair Radja Nainggolan and Daniele De Rossi after the trio suffered injuries in a 1-0 defeat to Juventus on Sunday, entertain Chievo with a one lead over the two teams below.

Third-placed Napoli travel to Fiorentina on Thursday on the back of a thrilling 5-3 win over Torino that saw Belgian Dries Mertens hit four goals.

Augsburg Draw Perfectly Encapsulates Borussia Dortmund's 1st Half of Season

It was the fourth draw in a row across all competitions and the third in the Bundesliga, where the Black and Yellows will now likely spend the winter break outside of the Champions League spots.

If 90 minutes can ever be enough to represent half a year’s worth of Bundesliga football for the Ruhr side, Tuesday’s match did just that. The game against Augsburg offered a microcosm of what has been a rather disappointing first half of the domestic campaign for Dortmund.

The greater issues that have kept head coach Thomas Tuchel busy over the first months of the season were all present against the Swabians, as the 43-year-old admitted in his post-match press conference: “Today’s match epitomises the first half of the season.”

This year has been full of headline-making news surrounding divorces, breakups, hookups and controversies…but it might take the cake for being the Year of Celebrity Feuds.

Kim Kardashian, Taylor Swift, Kanye West, Chlose Moretz, Feud

It seemed like many of the biggest names in Hollywood found themselves in some type of beef with another celebrity, be it over years-long arguments, social media commentary, nude photos, music or what have you. It’s also not surprising that some of the names involved in these spats happen to be repeat offenders.

About Astra 4A

Astra 4A is one of the Astra communications satellites owned and operated by SES at the Astra 5°E orbital slot providing digital television and radio broadcasts, data, and interactive services to Nordic countries, eastern Europe and sub-Saharan Africa in the 11.70 GHz-12.75 GHz range of the Ku band and 18.8 GHz-21.75 GHz range of the Ka band.

The satellite was launched in November 2007 as Sirius 4 by SES Sirius. At that time, SES owned a 75% shareholding in SES Sirius, which was increased to 90% in 2008 and to 100% in March 2010. In June 2010, the affiliate company was renamed SES Astra (then a subsidiary company of SES) and the Sirius 4 satellite was renamed Astra 4A.

Astra 4A provides three Ku band broadcast beams – the Nordic beam to Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland, the European beam to Eastern European and Baltic countries including Belarus, Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Russia and Ukraine, and the African beam to sub-Saharan Africa.

Reception is possible on dishes as small as 60 cm from all three beams, with reception from the European beam across Europe and from the African beam across sub-Saharan across Africa with dishes of 90 cm-120 cm.

The satellite also carries a dedicated payload of two transponders for Ka band services, for applications such as interactive and contribution services. Both uplink and downlink within the African footprint are available, and also inter-connectivity between Africa and Europe so broadcasting out of Europe is available without the need for expensive fibre ground links.

Five of these African beam transponders are contracted with ETV and Globecast having signed one transponder each and three transponders signed by On Digital Media for the South African TopTV network.

Co-located with Astra 4A at 5°E is the SES-5 satellite. Launched in July 2012, this satellite provides a similar European and African coverage and was originally named Sirius 5, but renamed to Astra 4B in 2010 and then to SES-5 in 2011.

It could indeed become a most fantastic experience, with Chelsea not only looking to continue winning and pushing the pace at the top of the table, but also aiming for a new club record 12 games won in a row.

Date / Time: Monday, December 26, 2016, 15:00 GMT; 10am EST; 8:30pm IDT

Venue: Stamford Bridge, SW6

Referee: Mike Jones — back for the second time this season after being in charge for Chelsea’s win over Southampton two months ago.

Forecast: Sunny buy cold

On TV: none (UK); CNBC (USA); Star Sports HD4 (India); elsewhere

Streaming online: NBC Sports Live Extra (USA); Star Sports (India)

Chelsea team news: Everybody but John Terry is healthy and fit, but Conte still has to deal with a smaller squad than usual thanks to the one-match suspensions for Diego Costa and N’Golo Kanté (both picked up a fifth yellow card last weekend) and the sale of Oscar to China.

Michy Batshuayi and Cesc Fàbregas are expected to step in for the suspended duo, though Conte could have some other, more drastic tricks up his sleeve.  A few reports also mention that Hazard may still be carrying a knock.

Chelsea play before either Liverpool or Manchester City on this Boxing Day, which mean that at least temporarily, we could once again open-up a nine-point lead with a win.

Bournemouth team news: The Cherries, the feel good story of rising up from the ashes under Eddie Howe, have been trading wins and losses for most of the past two months; that streak does include home losses to Sunderland and Southampton.  In a word, Bournemouth have been inconsistent.

Injured duo Andrew Surman and Junior Stanislas face late fitness test, while on-loan Nathan Aké will have to sit this one out due to loan rules. Otherwise, all are available for selection.

Previously: Considering this will be only the 8th ever meeting between the two sides, there isn’t much history here to unravel.  Bournemtouh did beat Chelsea 1-0 in this same exact fixture last season; here are highlights of Chelsea’s emphatic win in the reverse tally.

Goalkeeper Liam Reddy saved two penalties as Perth Glory held on for a 3-3 draw against Melbourne City in a Hyundai A-League classic at AAMI Park on Tuesday night.

In a dramatic ending with scores tied at 3-3, Dino Djulbic and Fernando Brandan were both sent off in the final minute as City were awarded a penalty – their third of the match – to take all three points.

But Reddy denied Bruno Fornaroli for the second time on the night to preserve a point in what will go down as the game of the 2016/17 Season so far.

City took the lead on three separate occasions in a breathless 90 minutes only to be pegged back each time by the courageous visitors.

Tim Cahill started the goals rush with a trademark early header before Diego Castro scored a brace either side of a Bruno Fornaroli stunner as the teams went to the break locked at 2-2. Incredibly, Castro’s second goal came just moments after Reddy saved a penalty from Fornaroli. The hosts were awarded another spot-kick 15 minutes into the second half – which the Uruguayan this time scored – to regain the lead only for Chris Harold to equalise again soon after. Despite some excellent chances late-on – including Nebojsa Marinkovic rattling the woodwork – it seemed like it would peter out for a draw before the late-drama with two red cards and another stunning penalty save. The draw means City have now gone four games without a victory in the Hyundai A-League, while Glory’s winless run extends to five matches. – See more at:

Suranga Lakmal took four wickets and gave Sri Lanka a slight edge on Day 1 of the first Test against South Africa at St George’s Park. After winning the toss, Faf du Plessis opted to bat first. Stephen Cook and Dean Elgar added 104 runs before Suranga Lakmal dismissed both the openers in quick succession.

All top five batsmen got starts but none of them were able to convert it into something big. Hashim Amla, who came in at number three, scored only 20 runs off 76 balls before Lakmal had him caught behind. But it was JP Duminy, who stood strong and went on to score a fluent 63 before he was given lbw off Rangana Herath. South Africa will resume on 267/6.

WINTER SPORTS RECENT NEWS

The wraps are off most of the presents by now. Did you get the new ski equipment you were hoping for? Was it a new snowboard? Ready to hit the slopes? You won’t be alone. In terms of winter sports, skiing and snowboarding are far and away the most important facet of winter in Vermont.

Parker Riehl is executive director of the Vermont Ski Areas Association. He keeps his finger on the pulse of the industry. He smiles broadly whenever the flakes start to fall and temperatures get into snow-making territory, and well he should. His industry makes up approximately 36 percent of Vermont’s $2.5 billion tourism industry. “There is about $900 million in direct spending on skiing and snowboarding in the winter,” says Riehl. “Add to that another $600 million in indirect spending, and you get an idea of how important winter sports are to Vermont.”

One very important fact in all of that spending is that most of it represents dollars imported to Vermont. “This is not money that is churning in the Vermont economy already. These are imported dollars. Those dollars in turn help to move our economy.” According to Riehl, 80 percent of skiers are from out-of-state, including second homeowners. “The actual split on dollars spent is about 90 percent from out-of-state, the other 10 percent is from Vermonters.

Peel back the onion a little and you find that two thirds to three quarters of the spending occurs off of the slopes, directly in local communities. There are 20 Alpine ski areas and 30 Nordic areas in Vermont. That adds up to a lot of visitors; a lot of schussing and telemark skiing. Riehl said that full winter ski operations employe about 12,000 people from Jay Peak to Mount Snow. The industry is also responsible for about 22,000 additional jobs from restaurants to lodging to clothing sales to car rentals and everything in between in the local communities servicing the mountains.

“Once you cross into Vermont from any direction, you are never much more than about 45 minutes to a ski area,” said Riehl.

The “Benchmark Study of the Impact of Visitor Spending on the Vermont Economy: 2013,” conducted by the University of Vermont (https://www.uvm.edu/~snrvtdc/publications/vermont-tourism-benchmark-study-2013.pdf) provides incredible insight to the tourism industry. The study points out that the expenditures in Vermont by visitors also provide significant tax revenue to the state and to municipalities. In 2013, taxes generated by the tourism industry totaled $385 million. While it does not identify that which is specifically due to skiing, it does paint a positive picture of the impact tourism has.

The study concludes that, “The tourism and recreation industries are an important part of the Vermont economic landscape. This report identifies more than $3 billion of economic activity each year supported by the employment of more than 30,000 Vermont workers and providing hundreds of millions of tax dollars to support state and local government programs.”

So the next time you are out on the slopes, or on one of the 5,000 miles of trail groomed by Vermont Association of Snow Travelers (VAST), pause for a moment and consider that not only are you getting some great exercise, having a lot of fun and enjoying the beautiful vistas, you are also supporting one of the most important industries in the state.

On behalf of the members, the board of directors and staff of the Central Vermont Chamber of Commerce, I wish all a very happy and successful New Year.

Henry de Bromhead reports Identity Thief “stiff and sore” following his disappointing display at Leopardstown on Monday.

The Grade One-winning hurdler had created a big impression when winning his first two starts over fences, after which he was engaged for a potentially mouthwatering clash with the Willie Mullins-trained Min in the Racing Post Novice Chase.

However, while Min jumped brilliantly at the head of affairs on his way to an impressive victory, Identity Thief made several mistakes before being pulled up by Bryan Cooper, who quickly dismounted.

De Bromhead said: “He’s a bit stiff and sore, but nothing too bad.

“Hopefully a few days will have him right, but we will get him checked out as well.

“His jumping just went to pot and he seemed to lose his confidence, for whatever reason, and we need to find that out.”
