CNN — I recently asked my third grade son about crushes in his class. After two years of having limited interaction with human beings, I had to turn to him – the only person in our house who regularly socializes, albeit with his fellow 8- and 9-year-olds – for a gossip fix. He told me about a few crushes, including his own, and he also made it clear that there were some he couldn’t tell me about because he had been sworn to secrecy. I respected his secrets and didn’t push any harder. Despite the fact that he seemed happy…
When Hull City beat Swansea City 2-0 at the MKM Stadium on January 29, Shota Arveladze must have thought managing in the Championship was a breeze, wondering what all the fuss was about.

City, by comparison, were at the opposite end of the table and facing a nervous end to the campaign hoping they could scrap and…
Brett Hodgson can feel momentum starting to build around Hull FC’s season as they aim to pick up their fourth straight win in all competitions. The Black and Whites struggled for consistency over the first few weeks of the campaign and came in for criticism as morale boosting wins were following up by frustrating losses. However, since the disappointing defeat to Castleford Tigers at Wheldon Road, Hodgson’s side have produced three wins and they’ve looked more than capable of working their way up the Super League ladder. Of course, the season is only six games old, but FC would move…

After all, as author A.A. Milne wrote, “(I)f a man really likes potatoes, he must be a pretty decent sort of fellow.”While there is no bad time of year to enjoy these root vegetables, March is a particularly apt month to celebrate the humble potato and its cohort, the sweet potato. St. Patrick’s Day falls mid-month, bringing with it a host of potato-centric Irish recipes such as colcannon and boxty.

Bruno Fernandes was the two-goal hero as Portugal qualified for their sixth World Cup finals in a row with a fuss-free display in Porto8 min: A bit of space in the centre circle for Fernandes to work with. He dallies and is quickly dispossessed by a swarm of white shirts. No quarter given.6 min: A little bit of space for Mendes down the left. He curls a sensational low cross through the Macedonian six-yard box, but neither Jota nor Ronaldo are around to prod home … and that ball was begging to be prodded home.
