4 h. ago Girlbands Forever review – a thrillingly gobby slice of must

With big reveals from All Saints, Sugababes, Eternal and more, this funny and sometimes horrifically frank documentary is super juicy especially when they slate Spice GirlsAs a pop-cultural moment, the turn-of-the-millennium girl group boom hasn’t exactly been flooded with solemn appraisal and analysis. Wisely, this fantastically entertaining three-part documentary doesn’t attempt to rectify that. Instead, Girlbands Forever reminisces in a manner that is equal parts meaty and frothy. And, yes, often about as stomach-churning as that combination sounds.At the heart of this series – the female-focused follow-up to 2024’s Boybands Forever – is a lot of old ground. Viewers of a certain age will know the trajectories retraced here (the head-spinning arrival of Spice Girls, the scrappy ascent of Atomic Kitten, the existentially challenging lineup rotation of Sugababes, the talent-show conception of Little Mix) and the dominant themes (tabloid hell, merciless management, relentless touring...

6 h. ago João Pedro ends goal drought as Chelsea earn narrow victory at Tottenham

The days when Tottenham were capable of ending this fixture with nine men trying to pull off a high line against Nicolas Jackson are over, but on current evidence the decision to replace the excesses of Angeball with something more restrained and grown-up has merely invited soul-searching of a different nature.The loud, sustained blast of booing that broke out when the final whistle arrived at the end of this sorry defeat to Chelsea said much about the identity crisis gripping the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. There are ways to lose a derby but Spurs chose one of the worst routes. They created almost nothing of note during an unremarkable game, so much so that they finished with an xG of 0.05, and it must have been worrying for Thomas Frank to hear unrest flare on more than one occasion in the stands.

9 h. ago Amad Diallo rescues Manchester United at Forest despite controversial opener

At the final whistle it felt appropriate to wonder which manager would feel more downbeat. Sean Dyche after being denied a first league win in charge of Nottingham Forest after his side’s weakness at set pieces was again punished? Or Ruben Amorim, who could not celebrate his first anniversary in charge of Manchester United with a victory?Until Forest scored twice inside 102 seconds at the beginning of the second half, United appeared in control courtesy of a Casemiro header at a corner, controversially awarded after Nicolò Savona was deemed by the officials to have failed to keep a Bruno Fernandes pass in play. In the end a stunning volley by Amad Diallo earned United a deserved point. Continue reading...
