20 h. ago Saka ruled out of England qualifier, Ronaldo will not play at Club World Cup – matchday live

Latest news and updates before Saturday’s footballFixtures | Tables | Mail matchday.live@theguardian.comPaul is confident that Tottenham will succeed if they appoint Thomas Frank to replace Ange Postecoglou:“There’s probably been too much over thinking on this. I sent this message to my son last night. ”It’s the right decision. He can leave a hero and will always be welcomed back. £100m just for turning up in the CL is too much to gamble on him getting top four. I know Frank hasn’t managed at CL level and he may be out of his depth but, personally, I’ve been walking out of games during the tenure of the last 3 managers. That needs to stop and if Frank gets me to stay 90+ minutes every week, he’s a step up! It will be interesting whether Frank can attract top quality signings. I see Manor Solomon’s coming back. Not a good start to the window!!” Continue reading...

1 week ago Have you ever overhyped a hobby on social media to impress your crush? You might suffer from Downbaditis | Lucinda Price

I heard from a woman who wore off-the-shoulder tops for an entire year because her crush said he ‘liked shoulders’It was mid-winter when I found myself shivering on a slippery rock, staring out to sea. The waves in front of me were growling and my gut responded in kind. Instead of listening to it, I wrestled into a wetsuit and pulled the goggles I’d had since year 5 over my head.
