He’s set to have daily early morning gallops until Saturday, when the plan calls for him to breeze five furlongs.

MARTIN Allen put the emphasis on family pride at half-time at Brentford yesterday to ensure his Eastleigh side and their loved ones could walk away from Griffin Park with their heads held high. The Spitfires had endured a punishing first 45 minutes against the Bees, going in 5-1 down against their three-league-higher Championship hosts and, at that point, you wouldn’t have put it past the rampant West Londoners to have racked up double figures.

FA Cup live: Chelsea v Peterborough

GREAT CHANCE FOR THE POSH! Maddison pops up down the right-hand side now and cuts inside on his left foot before whipping an absolutely outstanding cross into the centre of the area.

Lions were capable of entertaining, just not contending

Remember when Darius Slay stole back the ball against Philadelphia? And Matthew Stafford rifled that touchdown pass to Anquan Boldin against Washington? Or when Matt Prater hit that 58-yarder as time expired in Minnesota? And then Golden Tate flipped into the end zone in overtime?

Could Eagles target Giants’ Victor Cruz in free agency?

There is a strong possibility that the Giants will release wide receiver Victor Cruz this offseason, as he holds a cap hit of $9.4 million next season, but only $1.9 million in dead cap space if he was released.
