4 h. ago #1 Happy Family USA review – a truly special comedy that’s packed with 00s nostalgia

Ramy Youssef’s surreal tale of a Muslim family in post-9/11 America is quietly subversive TV that’s full of laughter – and painfully realNot content with co-creating the brilliant (albeit frequently watch-through-your-fingers) dramedies Mo and Ramy, and starring in the latter, Ramy Youssef has turned his attention to a riotous animation for adults. Like the Egyptian-American comic’s previous work, #1 Happy Family USA is all about the modern Muslim experience, feeling adrift from the world, and the extent to which you should change yourself to fit in. And what better way to underscore this often excruciating, existential experience than to make our lead an insecure, hormone-plagued teen, coming of age in the wake of the September 11 attacks.For real Ramy heads, this show will almost certainly call to mind the flashback episode from the first season of his self-titled series, set during 9/11. There, we saw a young Ramy anxiously fight off accusations that he was a terrorist (“Egypt’s ...

9 h. ago Rice finds antidote to Madrid’s magic and provides glimpse of his ultimate potential | Barney Ronay

Arsenal conclusively outplayed Real Madrid, led by brilliant performances from Bukayo Saka and Declan RiceWhere is your magic now? As the night wore on at an increasingly sullen Bernabéu, as the latest keepers of the Real Madrid shirt tried and failed to crank their way up through the emotional gears, this felt a bit like watching a conjuring act gone wrong. Pick a card. Any card. No. Not that one. Wait. Keep your eyes on the ball. The glass. Hang on.Such is the voodoo around Real Madrid, the white magic stuff, it had been necessary to process quite a lot of this chat in the buildup. Had Arsenal won too well at the Emirates Stadium? Was a three-goal advantage further proof of their naivety? Continue reading...

11 h. ago Saka and Martinelli fire Arsenal to last four after famous win at Real Madrid

When at last the never ending story reached its final page, there was Bukayo Saka standing at the north end of the Santiago Bernabéu shrugging a familiar shrug that says: how about that, then? And that was pretty special, Arsenal’s own story written as Mikel Arteta had demanded and a moment they will remember for a long time. Here was the goal that effectively put them into the semi-final of the Champions League for the third time in their history and a portrait of the way they had played here: an exercise in patience, control, and maturity.Precision and courage too. Saka had missed a first-half penalty that might have set up their passage sooner, but he was not sunk. None of them were: not by the legend, the atmosphere, the history, not by the quality of players in front of them either, the fatalism that saw so many others crumble and fall. Instead, the Santiago Bernabéu spell was broken, Real Madrid eliminated. And deservedly so. At no point really was Arsenal’s 3-0 lead from the ...
