6 d. ago Manchester City enter Last Dance era under Guardiola with FA Cup in sights

Some players’ futures are in doubt but beating Bournemouth could help those they leave behindPep Guardiola is a basketball aficionado and has often been seen courtside in America trying to learn from one of the world’s most intense sports. The Manchester City manager holds Michael Jordan in high esteem and it feels as if the next two months may be the club’s version of the basketball legend’s Last Dance documentary for some of their senior players. The FA Cup is the NBA championship for those wondering where they may start next season.City face a second trip of the season to Bournemouth, where their 32-match unbeaten run ended in November, hoping to reach a semi-final at Wembley for the seventh successive year. Guardiola and his side have barely recovered since losing Rodri, City’s Jordan according to his coach, and a second defeat by Andoni Iraola’s men on Sunday would remove any chance of a trophy for the Spaniard and his ageing charges this season.

Patrick Schick swooped to secure a 4-3 win that rescued his side’s identity as elite salvagers of lost causesThey did little wrong, but fortune refused to shine on them. Lukas Hradecky spread himself with authority, denying Ermedin Demirovic’s finish, but his block cannoned straight into the onrushing Granit Xhaka and the ball nestled in the net in front of the Cannstatter Kurve. Bayer Leverkusen have been bowed far more often than is habitual in the last few weeks, and now they looked to be down and out. It was one of those actions, one of those days, one of those runs, that said it’s just not your season.In fact, it wasn’t even the first time they’d appeared to be cooked on Sunday evening. That was when Stuttgart’s Nick Woltemade, the throwback striker who has been one of the season’s low-key revelations, slotted a tidy finish past Hradecky for 2-0 less than three minutes into the second half. We have seen Leverkusen react what feels like a hundred times from this – just not in th...

3 w. ago Checking out early: who is going to die in this season of The White Lotus?

The third season of Mike White’s delicious resort-set comedy drama has teased yet another murder but we don’t yet know the whos or the whysAfter a characteristically slow start, we are now halfway through this year’s season of The White Lotus. From what we know of the last two seasons, this means that things are about to get very crazy very quickly. To use season one as a way marker, we are now approximately the runtime of The Brutalist away from watching someone perform the equivalent of a suitcase poop.More than previous runs, however, a number of mysteries still hang over almost every White Lotus character this year. We know that there’s a shooting. We know that there’s a body. At this point, almost every character could be either one of them. It’s time to theorise wildly. Continue reading...
