Michael Owen believes Arsenal should get rid of ‘flat track bully’ Viktor Gyokeres as he lacks the ‘class’ needed to be a top level Premier League player. It is only five months since Gyokeres signed for Arsenal in a £55million deal but it already looks as if the London side have overpaid as the striker has scored just five league goals in 19 matches. He was anonymous again against Liverpool with the Swede having just eight touches before being hooked just after the hour mark and it was that game that prompted Owen to suggest the Gunners were better without…
Italdesign has overhauled the second-generation Honda NSX, drawing on the greatest hits from the Japanese supercar’s history. Chief among the homages to the 1989 original is the addition of a deck-like rear spoiler, emphasised by a ‘floating ring’ brake light. The indicators and reverse lights are concealed behind the spoiler. Fitted to the roof is a new scoop that recalls that on the 2005 NSX-R GT, a homologation special for the Japan Grand Touring Car Championship. Up front, it’s more obviously derived from the modern-day NSX, with a sharp-edged nose similar to that used on the Type S that was conceived…
The figure being bandied about for the cost of the Post Office scandal is lowering expectations on Fujitsu, because it doesn’t include hundreds of millions of pounds in costs beyond the £1.8bn bill for compensating subpostmasters. Described as a “parasite” on the UK government by Business and Trade Select Committee chair Liam Byrne MP, Fujitsu, which rakes in hundreds of millions of pounds’ worth of government contracts each year, faces a substantial bill for its central role in the Post Office scandal. However, the bill is unlikely to fully reflect the cost of its actions and inaction. Fujitsu’s inaction…
LG opened CES 2026 by outlining its vision to reduce the physical effort and mental burden of life. Buy enough of the devices it’s presently working on and you’ll exist in an environment of “ambient care,” coddled by the machinery in your home. It sounds positively utopian: When the sensors in your bed know you’ve not slept well and are getting a cold, a robot will wake you with a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice. When you’re in a rush to get to work, the robot will make you a sandwich for you to eat on the go, sparing…
US President Donald Trump has warned that he could order more airstrikes on Nigeria if Christians continue to be killed in the West African nation.In a wide-ranging interview with the New York Times, Trump was asked whether the Christmas Day strikes in Nigeria’s northern Sokoto state, targeting Islamist militants, were part of a broader military campaign.”I’d love to make it a one-time strike. But if they continue to kill Christians it will be a many-time strike,” he said.Nigeria’s government has rejected Trump’s earlier accusations that it is failing to protect Christians from jihadist attacks, saying that “Muslims, Christians and those…

A new report has revealed the turning point in the relationship between Ruben Amorim and Manchester United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe. Ratcliffe and Man Utd‘s recruitment team have made a lot of wrong decisions since joining the Premier League giants, with Amorim arguably their biggest mistake at Old Trafford. Amorim parted ways with Man Utd on Monday morning, wth his exit a disastrous 14 months in which the Premier League side slumped to embarrassing new lows. His position at Old Trafford became untenable after he publicly hit out at the club over a transfer disagreement, with the head coach also…

Image: Envato Atten-shun! Mistral AI has secured a victory in France. Shoulders straight, eyes down, and read on. France’s Ministry of the Armed Forces has taken a significant step to deepen its use of AI by awarding a framework agreement to French firm Mistral AI.

It’s a move that shows a certain savoir-faire as the world appears to be descending into complete chaos and total war. Under the agreement, the ministry’s armed forces, internal directorates, and services will…
