It’s the final manic matchday eight in both the Champions League and Europa League, aka the week when we try desperately not to think too hard about what we could have had. Imagine, if you will, a world where instead of letting almost everybody through, UEFA had instead chosen a better, less cowardly route in which only the top 16 qualified for the knockouts. We used to have 16 teams in the knockouts, didn’t we? Worked fine for ages, that, didn’t it? And if we’d kept that system, then the move to a 36-team mega-league would have been pretty much…
Xabi Alonso has requested that five players be moved on in the summer if he replaces Arne Slot as Liverpool manager, according to reports. The Reds came from two goals down to 2-2 against Bournemouth on Saturday but the Cherries struck five minutes into second-half injury time to take all three points. Liverpool have now not won in five Premier League matches with arch-rivals Manchester United leapfrogging them into fourth over the weekend. That has put serious pressure on Slot, who won the Premier League title last season, with a report on Monday claiming that Liverpool have already decided they…
Chelsea fans have witnessed some truly baffling decisions being made at their club in the three-and-half years of BlueCo rule. They won’t stand for Cole Palmer leaving for Manchester United. From signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to sacking Thomas Tuchel via re-hiring Frank Lampard and spending over £1bn on players and still not having a squad to mount a title challenge, the rap sheet is long and damning. The most recent contentious call saw them sack their fourth permanent manager Enzo Maresca, shortly after he led them to two major-ish trophies in a debut season in which he also secured Champions League…
Peugeot is “thinking about” launching a model positioned above its flagship 5008, boss Alain Favey has told Autocar. But to be successful, “it would need to be something really different” so it could stand out against rivals, he said, referencing the difficulties the axed 508 had in a segment that included premium offerings such as the Audi A4 and BMW 3 Series. He explained: “We had the 508, which we stopped six months ago. It just shows the difficulty of having a car – [despite it having] a really credible offer – for a brand like Peugeot, because obviously in this segment you…
A judicial review against the Metropolitan Police’s use of live facial recognition (LFR) will argue the force is unlawfully deploying the technology across London, without effective safeguards or constraints in place to protect people’s human rights from invasive biometric surveillance. Brought by anti-knife campaigner Shaun Thompson, who was wrongfully identified by the Met’s system and subject to a prolonged stop as a result, and privacy group Big Brother Watch, the challenge will argue there are no meaningful safeguards in place to effectively limit how the Met uses the technology. In particular, it will argue the Met’s policy on where…
Wireless earbuds are now the default option for everyday listening, whether you’re heading out for a commute, fitting in a workout or just watching videos at home. The best wireless earbuds combine reliable connectivity, comfortable fits and sound quality that holds up across music, calls and podcasts, all without the hassle of cables. Most are small enough to disappear into a pocket and pair quickly with phones, tablets and laptops.What sets one pair apart from another often comes down to priorities. Some earbuds lean heavily on active noise cancellation, while others focus on long battery life, compact charging cases or…
If, like Roy Keane, you believe Michael Carrick isn’t a long-term manager for Manchester United, then you’ve got to say who is and somehow prove it. He can’t. You can’t. Any facts or stats offered as proof are all irrelevant. It’s all been tried before and not worked. The only route they’ve not gone down is to appoint a high-achieving lower-league manager. They probably think too much of themselves to do that, even despite their litany of failures, though there’s nothing to suggest it would be a worse decision than any of the others, so perhaps Andy Woodman at Bromley,…
Judges at the International Criminal Court have ruled that former Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte is fit to stand trial for alleged crimes against humanity.The ICC also set a “confirmation of charges” hearing on 23 February, where judges will decide whether the prosecution’s case against Duterte is strong enough to proceed to a trial.Duterte’s lawyers earlier argued that the 80-year-old is unfit to participate in the ICC proceedings. He has been detained at the Hague since March last year.He is accused of being criminally responsible for dozens of murders under his so-called war on drugs, during which thousands of small-time drug…
