Sign up now! Sign up now! Sign up now?

Well, played in or at least turned up for. Indeed, a good lawyer might argue that technically they haven’t really won any because one of the aforementioned victories came against peak b@nter era Manchester City, while not even Spurs were capable of doing anything other than swat the current Southampton rabble aside, a feat that is not so much something to be proud of, but more the equivalent of helping yourself to the pennies covering a dead man’s eyes. Having taken just eight points from their previous 10 games, Ange Postecoglou’s knack-depleted team went into Wednesday night’s north London derby as firm underdogs and duly lived down to their billing.I would never dare doubt the accuracy and reliability of statistics from Big Website, but some of the match stats from the Holsten Pil...

After turning what would have been an ugly fumble deep in his own half into the beginning of a run of 23 unanswered points against the Los Angeles Chargers last week, Houston’s quarterback seemed to shake off his winter blues at the very moment he found Xavier Hutchinson wide open downfield. Stroud needs to trust his instincts in order to compensate for a subpar offensive line, though more importantly he has to have faith in Nico Collins. The receiver will be under blanket coverage from Trent McDuffie and Justin Reid, owing to a lack of any other significant Texans threat downfield, but his remarkable knack of making catches in heavy traffic will be crucial if his team are to keep pace with the Chiefs. Oh, and in games that Collins has 150 or more ...

On her last album, 2023’s Agua Dulce, she and percussionist Laura Robles reimagined the cajón, electronically processing the instrument’s rhythms with skittering synths and rumbling sub-bass to produce eerie, unpredictable percussion. She returns with Congolese guitarist Titi Bakorta, the pair’s lively debut record delivering a new take on the folk-pop sounds of Congolese soukous.Characterised by its high-register, dextrous electric guitar rhythms and bright arpeggiated melodies, soukous is generally an uptempo, joyous genre sitting somewhere between Ghanaian highlife and Latin cumbia.
