Last weekend Black was hunkered down at a California resort, golfing with the conservatives he had come to know in YAF, and plotting his own and his party’s comeback....

It’s quite likely that fans get a deeper look at the region, some new Pokemon, and maybe some new regional forms, but the extent of the trailer is unknown.

Kolkata, June 20 (IANS) Rain or sun does not bother them, neither does the cacophonous traffic nor the incessant clamour of a packed city.

With the midfielder disappointing many in his substitute appearances, he has received significant criticism from fans and pundits....

Liverpool dished out a first Premier League defeat of the season to Pep Guardiola’s Premier League leaders in a thrilling and relentless display on January 14.
