Mauricio Pochettino has told critics that Spurs know best when it comes to Harry Kane. The England striker has failed to score a Premier League goal in August, despite playing 14 games over the past four years. But Tottenham boss Pochettino has hit back at claims that Kane looks like he needs a longer rest following the World Cup. The Golden Boot winner in Russia has had just one full summer off – in 2017 – in the last four years. Two years ago he was in France for the European Championships and the year before he played in the Under-21 equivalent. Last week Kane – who ­became a father again this summer – looked below-par in Tottenham’s Premier League win at Newcastle. It sparked suggestions that Pochettino should give the England captain a break to ­rediscover his edge. But the Spurs boss insisted he and his coaching team know 25-year-old Kane better than anyone.

Former cricket star Imran Khan has been sworn in as Pakistan's new prime minister. Khan, 65, was finally declared the winner of a controversial election - just 22 years after founding his political party. It is the crowning political achievement for a man who made his name not as a statesman but as a sporting hero. Since finishing his sporting career as one of the world's most famous cricketers, he has become an outspoken campaigner against political corruption. Khan has pledged to bring to justice "all those who have robbed this country" through corruption. His first major task will be to avert a brewing economic crisis after his party swept to election victory on July 25. Khan's party won power on an anti-status quo platform, vowing to fight corruption and lift millions of people out of poverty. Pakistan has been plagued by boom-and-bust cycles and military coups since independence in 1947, as well as by Islamist militant violence in more recent years. … [Read more...] about Imran Khan is sworn in as Pakistan’s new prime minister

Ken Sema scored the goal that put him on the football map last season he knew he would be heading for the Premier League. Sema's £2m arrival at Watford may have gone under the radar in another summer of huge top-flight spending. But his name should have rung bells at Arsenal and, if he achieves his dream of "greatness," will become a household one at Watford too. Sema, 24, announced himself with a brilliant individual goal that earned Swedish minnows Ostersund a shock Europa League win at the Emirates in February. With one of his favourite tricks the winger bamboozled Calum Chambers before blasting the ball past David Ospina to send shockwaves around Europe. Sema said: “When I scored I felt 'wow, this is an amazing goal.' Now I'm here in England, I will sign for a club in the Premier League because teams are seeing this game.

Ever since the reinstatement of their ability to do business with the US they have been hard at work developing new products to try and earn back some of the ground lost while they were “out of business”. One such product appears to be the Axon 9. The Axon 7 was a big hit worldwide thanks to its near-stock Android, solid build and high end hardware but for a mid-range price. That was a few years ago now though and ZTE fans have been waiting for a while for the successor to the Axon 7. It seems the wait may be over with ZTE sending out invites to local media in Europe to an event on August 30, 4pm Berlin time. The invites have a big “9” splashed over them and it doesn’t take much extrapolation to deduce that this most certainly will mean an Axon 9. There have been rumours of both an Axon 9 and an Axon 9 Pro but very little details on it have leaked so far, although we have seen possible renders of it leak earlier this year. With a fingerprint … [Read more...] about Will we see the ZTE Axon 9 at IFA 2018?

First spotted by users on reddit, (and pointed out via Android Police) the Google Issue Tracker entry simply points out that there’s no way to manually initiate a backup to Google Drive. The issue was picked up by a Googler and referred over to the Android Dev team who’ve subsequently updated the issue stating that the ‘requested feature will be available in a future release’. With Android Pie now released, exactly when this will appear isn’t clear. Google does generally release an Android .1 update for release with their Pixel phones often with exclusive features that roll out to the rest of the Android eco-system after a brief exclusivity period, so perhaps we could see it there. Otherwise this may be one of the first features we can look forward to in Android Q. Do you want a manual backup feature in Android?

Maurizio Sarri admits he feared Eden Hazard was going to quit Chelsea this summer. With the Belgium superstar being courted by Real Madrid, new Blues boss Sarri thought he might not get the chance to work with the talisman. Sarri had to wait until Hazard, 27, returned from the World Cup to talk to him, but ­insists his biggest star is going nowhere, even though the Spanish transfer window remains open. The ex-Napoli manager says Hazard – who could return to Chelsea’s starting line-up today – can become the best player in the world. He said: “Chelsea – one of the most ­important clubs in Europe ­– cannot sell an ­important player, without the possibility of buying one on the same level. Of course, I was concerned about this ­problem. "But after the first time I spoke to him, I was sure he would stay. So I was concerned for 20 days, no more. Now I am sure Eden will be with us for the season. “We are talking about one of … [Read more...] about Hazard can become best player in world says Sarri
