5 h. ago Rudderless Chelsea’s sustained slump risks making Cole Palmer restless

The 22-year-old is an elite player. How might he react if the Blues miss out on Champions League qualification again?Remember those chants of “We’ve got our Chelsea back” when Enzo Maresca’s side thumped Southampton at St Mary’s in December? Life moves quickly in west London. Two months have passed since those heady days, back when the talk was of a burgeoning title challenge, and the mood at Stamford Bridge has fractured so rapidly that the theme of a protest against the owners before their home game against Southampton on Tuesday night is – wait for it – “We want our Chelsea back”.It may seem an overreaction to a dip in form. Even so it is not hard to find fans who feel a growing disconnection with the club and struggle to understand Chelsea’s youth-driven recruitment strategy. They sense that the change pushed by the majority shareholder, Clearlake Capital, has been too intense; that too much knowledge has left the building since the end of the Roman Abramovich era. Perhaps it is...

The 17-year-old Australian matches her male counterparts in aerial ability and tube riding but is in no hurry to reach the WSLEach year, Stab, a surf media outlet with a cult online following, pulls together a video edit of the best waves of the past 12 months. “Best” is of course a subjective measure, but the compilation typically features some of the best surfers in the world pulling big turns, big airs and into big barrels. The 2024 edition, released last month, was no exception: the likes of three-time World Surf League champion John John Florence, surf icon Kelly Slater and American prodigy Caity Simmers all made the cut.But for those watching closely, it was another name that stood out in the 24-wave edit. Featuring not once but twice was Milla Brown, a 17-year-old from the northern beaches of Sydney. Brown has not yet graduated high school, but her name is suddenly in illustrious company.

48 h. ago Marco Asensio doubles up to steer Aston Villa to win over Chelsea

Unai Emery recently graded Aston Villa’s season as a seven out of 10 at best, acknowledging while their progress in Europe has been eye-catching, they needed to kick-start their Premier League campaign. Just as it seemed they would extend their winless run to six matches, the Chelsea goalkeeper Filip Jörgensen made a mess of a routine save, inadvertently giving Villa the leg-up they had been looking for, allowing Marco Asensio’s side-foot volley from Marcus Rashford’s cross after a short corner to slip through his gloves. Rashford’s half-time arrival proved inspired given he also laid the ball on for Asensio to cancel out Enzo Fernández’s opener.Thousands of Villa fans had spent the previous 24 hours plotting their second trip to Brugge in four months but for all of its pluses the Champions League has undoubtedly damaged their league form. Unai Emery has highlighted as much, unable to hide his mixed feelings on their season so far. Villa won six points from a possible 24 after midwe...
