Liverpool got the response they wanted from Mohamed Salah in their win over Tottenham. My only disappointment is that his performance came a couple of weeks too late. I’m not suggesting Salah hasn’t been on top form because of an attitude problem, because I think it is a physical issue that has held him back in recent weeks. But sometimes a row is as good as a rest when it comes to galvanising a player, and I am not surprised he followed last week’s touchline dispute with Jurgen Klopp with the kind of display we saw against Spurs. I saw something similar happen with other players so many times during my career and, whenever and whoever it came from, the ability to react to criticism like that in the right way was very important for me personally as well. A great example of that was on what was only my second start for Liverpool, against Manchester United at Old Trafford in 1998. Karl-Heinz Riedle got an injury on the day of the game, so I came in and played behind Michael Owen in a kind of number 10 role. I’d only just turned 21 and I was very nervous. I lost my first couple of balls with some poor touches and Paul Ince, who was our captain, absolutely annihilated me. In my head, my natural response was to think ‘I’ll show you’. I ended up being man of the match in a 1-1 draw after playing a lot of the game on my own up front because Owen got sent off. READ MORE

It's been a tough season for Manchester United, with the team bowing out early from the League Cup and the Champions League and facing numerous setbacks in the Premier League. Despite the troublesome season under Erik ten Hag's management, there are still some positives to note, particularly Bruno Fernandes’ performance. The captain has impressively managed to score 15 goals and provide 11 assists, shining despite the overall team struggles. At 29 years old, Fernandes is among the few at Manchester United who seem to justify their wages this season. This is in stark contrast to a previous player who earned the same but didn’t meet expectations at Old Trafford. Bruno Fernandes was signed for £47 million in January 2020 during Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's time as manager. While he hasn’t led the team to significant trophy success in his four years at the club, his individual performances have been consistently outstanding. READ MORE 2024-05-06

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel announced on Sunday that his cabinet has voted to close down the operations of Al Jazeera, the Qatar-based news channel, within Israel. This widely anticipated move might affect Israel's diplomatic ties with Qatar, which has been instrumental in mediating truce talks between Israel and Hamas. Journalism groups have criticized the closure as a setback for press freedom. Netanyahu, announcing the decision on social media, previously labeled Al Jazeera a "Hamas mouthpiece" and expressed intentions to shut it down. Last month, Israeli lawmakers passed a bill that allows the government to temporarily shut down foreign media operations if they are seen as threats to national security. The Qatari government, which funds Al Jazeera, has not yet responded to the closure. The relationship between Netanyahu's government and Al Jazeera has been strained, particularly because of the network’s prominent coverage of the ongoing conflict in Gaza that started in October. During the conflict, several journalists from Al Jazeera were killed. Netanyahu stated on X, formerly known as Twitter, "The government under my leadership has decided unanimously: The incitement channel Al Jazeera will be shut down in Israel." It remains unclear whether the closure is permanent and how it will affect Al Jazeera’s reporting in areas like Gaza and the West Bank. Al Jazeera has not made any immediate comments on its website regarding the situation. 2024-05-05

I have an unconventional perspective on this matter. If I were Trump, I'd opt to plead guilty. I'd aim to reduce it to a single charge, pay the fines, endure any business repercussions, perhaps serve a brief jail sentence, and portray myself as a martyr. This tactic could generate substantial fundraising, with Secret Service ensuring my safety. By doing so, I could swiftly conclude the legal proceedings, evade the daily courtroom appearances, and focus on my campaign. This trial is likely the only one preceding the election. If I resume campaigning vigorously, I could secure the presidency in November, effectively ending all legal troubles. It might sound radical, but if Trump doesn't make this strategic move, if he doesn't change his plea, and persists with the trial, it could prolong the ordeal by another six weeks. How much worse could it get for him? Rachel Maddow, the well-known MSNBC host, has been closely following the legal proceedings surrounding former President Donald Trump’s hush money trial. Let’s delve into what she has observed and her unique perspective on the matter. Inside the Courtroom: Rachel Maddow had the opportunity to be present in a Manhattan courtroom during Trump’s trial. She described Trump as appearing “annoyed” and “miserable” while facing more than 30 counts related to hush money payments1. It’s striking to witness the demeanor of a former president in such a legal setting. The Hush Money Case: The case revolves around payments made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels to allegedly cover up an affair with Trump. These hush money payments have been a subject of intense scrutiny and investigation2. Maddow’s reporting sheds light on the timeline of events and the sudden dissipation of the SDNY (Southern District of New York) investigation.

Royal Troon will have the longest hole in Open history when the Ayrshire links plays host to the 152nd championship in July. The sixth hole will measure 623 yards - 22 more than it did when Troon staged the 2016 Open - when it hosts the battle for the Claret Jug from 18-21 July. Two holes later, the players could then play the shortest hole in the championship's long history. The iconic par-three eighth, the ‘Postage Stamp’, will measure 123 yards on the scorecard but organisers the Royal & Ancient (R&A) is considering reducing that to 99 yards for one round, weather permitting. The R&A can use a forward tee and a front pin position to create a hole that would play fewer than 100 yards. Overall though, the R&A's preferred architects Mackenzie & Ebert have generally lengthened the links for the 2024 Open. The creation of nine new tees means an overall increase of 195 yards to 7,385 - just 36 fewer than the record at Carnoustie in 2007. There are new bunker positions - on the first and sixth fairways as well as next to the sixth green. The 15th - which was the 16th before the addition of the new 17th - played 620 yards at Royal Liverpool last year after being stretched by 45 yards since Rory McIlroy's win at Hoylake in 2014. This year’s championship has sold out, ensuring a record attendance for a Troon Open of 250,000 - an increase of more than 70,000 people from 2016, when Henrik Stenson prevailed in a thrilling duel with Phil Mickelson.
