Sign up now! Sign up now! Sign up now? Sign up now!Strasbourg, official seat of the European parliament, the jewel of the Alsace region on the west bank of the Rhine. Important historically, geographically and politically. One of the city’s most famous sons, Arsène Wenger, as a boy, was so embedded that his first language was Low Alemannic German, not French. To use a word Wenger brought to the English football vernacular – footballistically – Strasbourg was never too much of a hub. The club reformed after liquidation as recently as 2011, having won just one French title back in 1979 when Wenger was a fringe player already embedded in coaching. In defence was the future France coach Raymond Domenech, the keen astrologist in charge when a very Gallic bust-up ravaged Les Bleus at the 2010 World Cup.We’re all captivated by the journey of Wrexham. It’s been amazing for Welsh football and hopefully now in a number of years we’ll see young players coming through There isn’t similarities t...

7 d. ago From the streets of Baghdad, I saw a clear line to the bloodshed in Gaza | Owen Jones

The west faced no reckoning for the death and destruction it wreaked in Iraq. That made the war crimes we’re now witnessing inevitable “You destroyed Iraq.” I had to wait for my companion, the Iraqi journalist Ghaith Abdul-Ahad, to translate these words, but the thunderous look on this middle-aged man’s face already told its own story. We were standing on Haifa Street, one of Baghdad’s main thoroughfares, which runs along the west bank of the Tigris, and he had just been told I was British. “They promised that Iraq would be a heaven,” he said of the US-UK occupation. He then told a familiar tale: of being kidnapped by the sectarian militia, who flourished after the 2003 US-led invasion, and being tortured so badly that he could barely walk.We had come to Haifa Street to retrace Abdul-Ahad’s steps on a gruesome day 21 years ago. With its alleyways and tall buildings, this two-mile-long road proved ideal for urban warfare and snipers, and soon became known as Death Street. Early on a ...
