This is actually superb play from Arsenal FC. All Arteta needs is a little more backing from the board for next season.

Ekaterina Alexandrovskaya, who was born in Russia but competed for Australia in figure skating at the Olympics, has died in Moscow at the age of 20.

The cause of her death on Friday has not yet been disclosed. Alexandrovskaya retired in February due to injury.

She was granted Australian citizenship to compete at the 2018 Winter Olympics with indigenous Australian pairs skating partner, Harley Windsor.

Windsor, who won the world juniors with her in 2017, said he was devastated.

"The amount we had achieved during our partnership is something I can never forget and will always hold close to my heart," Windsor wrote on Instagram.

It is the second death of an Australian Winter Olympian in 10 days.

Alex Pullin, a two-time world champion snowboarder and three-time Olympian, drowned while spearfishing last week on Australia's Gold Coast.

George Morris Baker, MBE (1 April 1931 – 7 October 2011) was an English actor and writer. He was best known for portraying Tiberius in I, Claudius, and Inspector Wexford in The Ruth Rendell Mysteries.

Brentford missed the chance to put promotion to the Premier League in their own hands by falling to defeat at Stoke City, a result which handed Leeds United the Championship title.

Leeds, who were promoted on Friday, now cannot be caught at the top, while the Bees remain third in the table and a point behind West Brom heading into Wednesday's final round of fixtures.

Brentford conclude their season against Barnsley at Griffin Park while the Baggies, one of two teams left in the automatic promotion race alongside Fulham, host Queens Park Rangers.

Stoke are now mathematically safe for another season and move up to 17th, eight points clear of the drop zone before the rest of Saturday's matches are played.

Leeds, seriously bro !

Masabumi Hosono survived the Titanic, but not the public's scorn.

How so?

He survived the ship's sinking on 15 April 1912 but found himself condemned and ostracised by the Japanese public, press, and government for his decision to save himself rather than go down with the ship.

Ah so

There's actually some fascinating things that would happen if our moon was made of cheese, and it wouldn't be all that tasty.

For starters, the moon would expand out more than 500 miles in diameter, since cheese is less dense than rock.

That guy from dreamworks wouldn't be able to sit on it?

Maybe if he's quick.

As pressure increases, the caseins would start to break down, with nitrogen and ethane rising up to the surface to create an atmosphere. With that atmosphere in place to trap sunlight, the surface would be warm enough to form oceans with all the water that got separated out from the cheese.

But unfortunately, this cheesy, water-filled environment wouldn't last for long. The moon's gravity couldn't sustain an atmosphere, so eventually the atmosphere would go away, leaving the oceans to sublimate away, exposing a carbon-filled shell that likely wouldn't taste very much like cheese.

Quarterback is the most popular position on the football field because it’s a position full of glory and always in the middle of the action.

Being the quarterback means you have to be able to throw the ball—specifically, you have to be able to throw a tight spiral.

I think all the soaps have the opportunity to 'reset' and start afresh after COVID.

Sadly, it looks like it's business as usual for the ITV soaps, but I would definitely love to see EastEnders take the opportunity to reshape some of its characters and storylines so I know exactly what the OP means to an extent.

Boris Johnson has said he does not want to impose a second national lockdown in the event of another Covid-19 outbreak.

Speaking to The Sunday Telegraph, the PM compared the option of a nationwide shutdown to a "nuclear deterrent", adding he does not think the country "will be in that position again".

But the UK's chief scientific adviser said there is "a risk" such measures could be needed as winter approaches.

It comes as councils in England have been given "lightning" lockdown powers.

Under the new powers, local authorities can close shops, cancel events and shut outdoor public spaces to manage local outbreaks.

Watford are set to sack manager Nigel Pearson with two games of the Premier League season remaining and the side three points above the relegation zone.

Pearson will become the third manager sacked by the club this season following the exits of Javi Gracia and Quique Sanchez Flores.

The ex-Leicester boss was appointed in December until the end of the season.

He won seven matches in the Premier League - including beating runaway champions Liverpool.

But the Hornets were soundly beaten at West Ham on Friday and with their two remaining matches against Manchester City and Arsenal, club officials fear the consequences if Watford lose both of those fixtures.
