Field narrows to 6 teams in Premier League’s relegation race

Published Thu, 13 Feb 2025 20:10:20 GMT

The math is changing in the scramble to avoid relegation from the Premier League.From an unlikely nine-team scrap at the end of March, the field looks to have slimmed to six candidates with a month to go in the season. And one of them already appears doomed.Southampton’s 11-year stay in the top division looks like ending, with the team having plunged to last place and six points adrift of safety after collecting only three points from its last eight games.Meanwhile, Crystal Palace, Wolverhampton and Bournemouth — all onto their second managers of the season — have found some form and results at the right time to seemingly pull clear of danger.It leaves five clubs likely battling to avoid the other two relegation spots alongside Southampton, and there are some big names in there.Like Everton, a nine-time English champion which has been in the top division in its various guises since 1954.Like Leicester, which was a league champion — at preseason odds of 5,000-1 — just seven yea...

Madrid’s Modric injures thigh ahead of Copa final, CL semis

Published Thu, 13 Feb 2025 20:10:20 GMT

MADRID (AP) — Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric has a left thigh injury that could make him a doubt for the Copa del Rey final and the club’s Champions League semifinal against Manchester City.Madrid said Friday that the 37-year-old Modric “had an injury to the back of his left thigh” without giving an estimate for how long he will need to recover. Coach Carlo Ancelotti said he doubts his key playmaker will be able to play the Copa del Rey final against Osasuna in Seville on May 6. The first leg of the Champions League semifinal against City is three days later. Ancelotti said Modric picked up the “small injury” during Tuesday’s 4-2 loss at Girona in the Spanish league that left it 11 points behind leader Barcelona.“This is soccer and these things happen,” Ancelotti said. “We hope to have him back for the games left, which are important.”Modric, the 2018 Ballon d’Or winner, has helped Madrid win five Champions League titles, including the club’s record-extending 14th European...

Published Thu, 13 Feb 2025 20:10:20 GMT

Exxon Mobil more than doubled its profit during the first quarter, producing more oil to overcome energy prices that have declined during a period of economic unease. Net oil and gas net production jumped by nearly 300,000 oil-equivalent barrels per day compared with the same period last year, which was marked by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and soaring energy prices. Exxon earned $11.43 billion, or $2.79 per share, for the three months ended March 31. Per-share adjusted earning were $2.83, topping Wall Street projections of $2.65, and it more than twice the $5.48 billion, or $1.28 per share, it earned during the first quarter last year. Exxon does not adjust its reported results based on one-time events such as asset sales. Revenue for the Irving, Texas-based company was $86.56 billion, down from $90.5 billion a year earlier, and just shy of analyst expectations. Net production was 3.8 million oil-equivalent barrels per day, up nearly 160,000 oil-equivalent barrels per day co...

‘Peter Pan & Wendy’ lacks enough magic to truly take flight

Published Thu, 13 Feb 2025 20:10:20 GMT

(CNN) — “Peter Pan & Wendy” wants to conjure magic but turns out to be low on fairy dust, yielding a dreary live-action adaptation of the 1953 movie that transforms Neverland into what vaguely feels like a discount version of Pandora. Modest narrative upgrades help lift the Disney+ film above the service’s recent “Pinocchio,” but clearing that very low bar amounts to damnation with faint praise.There have been numerous live-action renderings of J.M. Barrie’s classic, from “Hook” to “Peter Pan” to simply “Pan” — plus “Finding Neverland,” which cast Johnny Depp as Barrie in a touching look at the play’s origins.Other than a few welcome and necessary changes to rid the Disney animated film of more problematic elements, and a bit more backstory explaining this Captain Hook (Jude Law) and his semi-depressed demeanor, this version pretty closely adheres to the basic blueprint, ponderi...
