4 d. ago Estêvão shows Chelsea he can form dangerous partnership with Palmer

Playmaker scored against his new club and should form an entertaining combination with the England internationalThe good news for Chelsea is that Cole Palmer and Estêvão Willian will be on the same team when they next share a pitch. Even better, it seems two of the most gifted young forwards around already have a connection. They were on opposite sides in Philadelphia on Friday night but friends when it was over, sharing a warm embrace after Chelsea’s victory over Palmeiras in the Club World Cup, swapping shirts and perhaps thinking about how much fun they are going to have at the expense of opposition defences when they line up together next season.It was a heartwarming sight. Palmer offered a reminder that he remains the main man at Chelsea, performing with craft and intelligence during a first half in which he opened the scoring in smooth fashion, but Estêvão vied for centre stage on his final appearance for Palmeiras. It was an extraordinary performance given the context. Antici...

Legal complaints filed by former pupils accuse priests and staff of physical or sexual abuse from 1957 to 2004When 14-year-old Pascal Gélie saw a brochure for an elite French Catholic boarding school boasting swimming in summer and skiing in winter, he begged his parents to send him. He had just watched the American school drama Dead Poets Society and was expecting “sport and friendship”.“On the first night, I realised I’d made a terrible mistake,” said Gélie, now a 51-year-old office-worker in Bordeaux. “There were 40 of us in a dormitory with decrepit mattresses. When I whispered to another boy for some toilet paper to take to the bathroom, the supervisor grabbed me by the face and pointed to the stone terrace outside.

1 week ago The moment I knew: I declined his proposal, then something clicked

Jessica Dettmann wasn’t ready to settle down when her boyfriend popped the question, but his response made her realise he was exactly who she neededFind more stories from The moment I knew seriesIt was the day before my 25th birthday, 2005.

It was a circus freaks-themed party and he was one of only a handful of other guests who had dressed up, the only Bearded Lady among us.
