[BSTS] April Fool’s 2024 ‘The Hero, Reincarnated in Another World’ Event Story - Final

Part 2

Chapter 14

-starless hallway-

haseyama: So we've finally reached the Demon King's castle huh... You call this place a castle? It's just the store isn't it?

strongest sorcerer (lico): The store?

haseyama: Never mind. So, where's the Demon King?

strongest sorcerer: Who knows. He's probably chilling in a large room somewhere right?

warrior (kokuyou): Let's try that room. I'm sensing something is in there.

-starless restaurant area-

warrior: Hm? Is that a treasure chest over there?

haseyama: A chest in the Demon King's castle you say? Allow me to open it... Oh? What's this? Gold?

strongest sorcerer: Ooh, I knew loot from this castle would be good. That's a gold pendant...

-kokuyou runs in front of them-

warrior: —Get down, quick!!

haseyama: Woah!?

-zakuro attacks kokuyou-

??? (zakuro): My oh my, I did not calculate that you would be able to predict my attack. The Hero party's strength is no lie.

haseyama: Who are you?

-taiga appears-

poison fang of the north (taiga): That's my automaton. It's being controlled by my puppeteer magic. Sorry for ruining your fun after you just arrived, but you'll be becoming my creation’s prey.

strongest sorcerer: It's a doll? Is that why it's moving in such a creepily unnatural way?

??? (zakuro): My my, there is no need to address me in such a rude manner.

poison fang of the north: Just ignore them. Now go, HAK=T=M! Defeat the Hero!

HAK=T=M (zakuro): Indeed, indeed!

-zakuro attacks-

warrior: How annoying, don't get any closer.

-kokuyou fights back-

HAK=T=M: Ough!! I-indeed... indee... indedededede...de...zzzt...

-zakuro shuts down-

haseyama: What's this? It only took one hit to take it out?

poison fang of the north: H-HAK=T=M~!!

warrior: Well then, looks like it's your turn to get punched in the face.

poison fang of the north: Ah, no, I surrender. Please let me join your side.

haseyama: What?

poison fang of the north: I stand no chance in a 3v1. My motto is 'if you can't beat them, join them'. I don't actually care about being one of the Demon King's great leaders or whatever.

strongest sorcerer: Wow, this guy really just threw his weapon down without hesitation. Does he have no pride?

poison fang of the north: Anyways, that warrior you've got on your team is real strong. I respect his ability. Is it ok if I refer to you as 'big bro'? I want to work for you.

warrior: Sure thing.

poison fang of the north: Thanks! Here, I'll cast some buffing spells on you.

warrior: Do whatever you want.

poison fang of the north: —No, by God Keep rolling Feel it in my bones...

strongest sorcerer: Huh? That spell... Watch out!!

haseyama: ...!? What do you mean!?

poison fang of the north: —No exit!

-spell is cast-

warrior: ...!?

-room explodes-

-starless hallway-

strongest sorcerer: Shit that was close, he used explosion magic. If I'd been caught up in that I'd be dead! I'm done with this dangerous mission, I'm leaving!

-cut back to restaurant area, place is destroyed-

warrior: ...Fuck that hurt. That wasn't a buff, you asshole.

poison fang of the north: What!? You're alive...? How is that possible!?

warrior: Kuku, you wanted to call me big bro right? Well as your big brother how about I correct that rebellious behaviour of yours? Come with me.

poison fang of the north: Ky-kyaahhh!? Where do you plan on taking me...!?

-kokuyou drags taiga away-

Chapter 15

-starless hallway-

haseyama: (coughing) ...Godammit. Was that explosion just now caused by magic or something? The path I came in from has caved in... Oi, is anyone there!?

haseyama: .......

haseyama: ...So they all ditched me in the final stretch huh? Those damn brats! Well, it can't be helped I guess... I'll just have to do something about this myself. Hah, reminds me of when I was a kid. I'd rush into raids all on my own...

-haseyama's office-

haseyama: Come on out, Demon King! Where are you at? Show yourself already!

-takami appears-

??? (takami): Welcome, Hero. So you've made it this far.

haseyama: Hah, you're the Demon King then? I see, I'm gonna wipe that smug smile off your face.

??? (unei): W-wait! He's not the Demon King, I am!!

haseyama: ...What!? You? Aren't you just Unei!?

??? (unei): (clears throat) Indeed... I am the one who soars in the sky decorated with white stars, the king of everlasting darkness who reigns over the demon world from my throne— It is I, The Demon King of the White Star Realm! The strongest, most fearsome Demon King who rules over this land!

haseyama: That's one lame name you've given yourself.

demon king (unei): Come, Hawklook, destroy the Hero!

hawklook (takami): Yes, my lord.

saki: Wait, p-please stop this!

haseyama: So the princess really was you after all, young lady.

demon king: It is fine, princess. I shall defeat the Hero, so watch closely.

saki: (Nothing about this is fine though...)

hawklook: Let us fight. I'll make you bow before the Demon King, dear Hero.

haseyama: Uwah!? He's so fast!

mob class demon: Allow me to help you, Hawklook-sama~! There's no way the Hero can win against our numbers~!

haseyama: Huh!? I have to deal with those weak ass mobs too?

hawklook: Is this really the time to take your eyes off me?

haseyama: Guh... Ah, shut up!

mob class demon: The Hero is backed into a corner! We're sure to win at this rate~!

demon king: Kukuku... I wouldn't count the Hero out yet. You agree, don't you princess?

saki: Um... Could you stop fighting now...?

demon king: Of course not, its almost time for my debut! Watch me, princess! It's showtime!

haseyama: ...!?

demon king: 'White Wish'... Assemble the darkness, Starry Love!

-unei casts magic-

haseyama: Uwah... Aaghhhhh!!

Chapter 16

-haseyama's office-

-screen flashes red-

haseyama: Sh..it...

demon king: Haahahahahah!! The Hero is no more~!!

haseyama: Being done in by Unei... How could something like this... happen...?

-haseyama collapses-

-white screen, kei appears-

king (kei): Hah, how unsightly.

haseyama: You...! Kei you damn... Wait no, you were that unreasonable king right?

king: So in the end this is how much a man like you could achieve. You were truly nothing but a disgraceful man who was only a hero in name.

haseyama: Excuse me!?

king: Even though it was faint, I was a fool for expecting anything great from you. Giving you that legendary sword was a grave mistake. There was no way you could've become a hero.

haseyama: You're the asshole who summoned me here in the first place! Quit talking crap and just return me to my world already!

king: Oh? So you still have the strength to snap back at me? In that case, stand back up, Hero. Use the true power of that blade, the 'Stein Schwartz'... Show them the skill of legend—

haseyama: What...!?

-haseyama's office-

hawklook: What would you like me to do, Demon King-sama? Shall I finish him off with a stab to the heart?

demon king: Uhh, I don't think we need to go that far... While he's still unconscious let's just dump him outside the castle...

mob class demon: Leave throwing him outside to me~!

saki: Um, so the fighting is done now?

haseyama: ...Ah... Damn it...

mob class demon: Oh, Demon King-sama, the Hero seems to have awoken.

demon king: What? Then whack him unconscious again—!

haseyama: Tch, I just have to win huh?

hawklook: Oh my, you can still stand?

demon king: Huh, you're gonna fight again? I'd really wish you'd just surrender already though...

haseyama: ...Unei, I think it's about time I put you back in your place!

demon king: Whaaat!?

-flash of light-

demon king: W-what's that? The Hero's sword is glowing...!?

haseyama: It's shining with my ultimate skill! Blow them away— Scarlet Desire!!

-screen goes white-

mob class demon: Aaaahhh~! He's got us~!!

-kasumi disappears-

hawklook: Guh...! So this is the Hero's ultimate skill...! This is where I withdraw.

-takami disappears-

demon king: Aaaahhhh... Uwaaaahhhhhhh~!!

Chapter 17

-starless office-

saki: (waking up) Mm... Hm? This is...

unei: Ah, are you awake, Saki-san? You'll catch a cold if you sleep in here!

saki: Oh... Please excuse me.

saki: (I fell asleep... So was all of that just a dream?)

unei: So um, by the way, how was it?

saki: Hm? How was what...?

unei: Whaat, did you not even read it? I'm talking about the novel I wrote about myself being a hero!

saki: Oh.

saki: (That's right, I vaguely remember I had been reading a fantasy novel that Unei-san wrote.)

unei: Was it no good...? I tried my best at drawing the map of the world as well...

saki: Ah, no, I didn't mean to imply that. I thought it was a very interesting novel.

unei: Really? I'm so glad, thank you! I thought the same when I tried designing those outfits, but creating something yourself is really fun. Since I ended up writing so much I'm going to publish it on a web novel site.

saki: That sounds like a good idea.

unei: I want to keep challenging myself by trying new things. Because I'd be happy if any of those skills end up becoming beneficial for the store!

saki: Fufu, do your best.

unei: Ah... Oh right! I had to discuss something with Yakou-san. I have to step out for a bit, you can stay in the office however long you need to, Saki-san!

saki: Thank you. 

-unei leaves-

-aogiri walks in-

aogiri: Hello, Saki-san. I see you're awake now.

saki: Yes, sorry about that. I accidentally dozed off.

aogiri: It's no trouble at all. Were you reading that book? It was an interesting story, wasn't it? Though, I did find Unei-san being the Demon King to be a little unbelievable.

saki: That's true— No, wait, but I'm pretty sure Unei-san was the hero in the novel...

aogiri: Fufu. The truth is… I'm also capable of casting some magic. Whether you want to believe it or not is up to you.

🌙 I’m so sick of this Fake Love I’m so sorry but it’s Fake Love 🌙

[sparkga]

@bvrgundybxtch tagged me to answer some questions about myself. Thanks for tagging me! I changed the questions because I enjoy making people regret inviting me to do things.

Three favorite types of candy: Dark chocolate M&Ms, Milky Ways, and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.

Three words most often used to describe you: Efficient, calm, dependable. (All synonyms for boring!)

Three games you'd like to see remade/ported: Radiata Stories (just upgrade the graphics and make the battle system more like a modern Star Ocean game), an HD remaster of the original Paper Mario (if for no other reason than to ditch that awful font used only in the first game), and bring a compilation of the Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remasters to consoles. (Bonus one: Remake Eternal Sonata. It's a game that is THIS close to being great. It misses the mark by inches. It just needs to be rebalanced and have a new cutscene director/editor.)

Three songs you'd like played at your wedding:

Three characters that share your personality type: ISFJ/6w5

One mythical creature you'd like to be: Genie! Steady work, can creatively screw over jerks guilt free (it's almost expected of you!), comes with built in housing.

One new Pokemon (or Pokemon-line) you'd like to see:

Snozen → Sneezen

A reindeer that has a glowing red nose due to a constant cold.

Type: Ice/Poison

Ability: Contagious (Opposing Pokemon become badly poisoned at the end of the second consecutive turn of battling against this Pokemon.)

Signature Move: Sneeze (The target is poisoned and blown away, and a different Pokemon is dragged out. In the wild, this ends a battle against a single Pokemon.)

Base Stats: HP 75 ATK 70 DEF 80 S.ATK 70 S. DEF 80 SPD 85 (BST: 460)

I tag @dgolden-boy, @ericsquirrel, @long-life-town, @pastelpolitoed, @seanmgilbert20, @sourpatchcummies, and @za1-01. Feel free to change the questions or skip doing it!

Just finished my first Pokemon Randomizer on Platinum

Honestly I’ve loved the idea of a randomizer since like the moment I heard of them but I never really did a full playthrough of one. I couldn’t get a DS emulator to work for many years and even though I’ve had one for a while I just never felt like it until recently. Not really sure why, considering I love playing with weird teams. And, obviously had to do it in my favorite game, Platinum. 

For the randomized parameters, the main stuff is that I randomized all the stats (but kept it under their natural BST) and randomized all their moves, but kept it so they heavily favored their type. What resulted was a LOT of early game Nidokings with Earthquake... Some other anomalies were that Porygon 2s got INSANELY high defense, and that Dewgongs apparently were super strong. Everything else was standard Randomizer stuff. I didn’t want to randomize the types, since there is literally no way of knowing which Pokemon are which type and that’d ramp up the difficulty to an unfun level, even if it effectively creates 493 new Pokemon in the process.

My starter was an Omastar but since I’m not a TPP memelord I ditched it and ended up with an ending team of an Exploud with Volt Tackle, a Rapidash with Sacred Fire, a Walrein with Water Spout, a Probopass (really was just a standard Probopass if I’m honest), a Vespiquen with Brave Bird, and a Donphan with Bonemerang. I caught most of these guys fully evolved, except for Donphan which I quickly evolved from a Phanpy, and Exploud, which I caught as a Whismur. I also caught Probopass and Walrein super early, and honestly wanted to ditch them because they seemed too good. In other news, I caught a shiny Feebas... I wanted to evolve it and use it because of course I would, but I really didn’t want to bother since It’s emulated and I can’t transfer it to Pokemon Home. I hope that somewhere in the ROM the shiny rate was increased so I wouldn’t feel so shitty about it...

I also caught a Rotom and was excited to use it’s forms cuz it’s one of my top favorite Pokemon until I realized they’re locked behind an EVENT ITEM? Why? They’re not even that good???? God I hate events. They’re all cool at the time, but it literally makes certain Pokemon unobtainable without cheats now (at least in their debut game).

It was really fun. It wasn’t insanely hard, but I could definitely see an increase in difficulty. Mostly because my team was super weak to water types, which of course are very plentiful... And they also knew Crabhammer most of the time which sucked, and was one of those things where you doubt how random the thing actually is. I even saw multiple trainers with duplicate Pokemon. I also saw a ton of trainers being named Esteban for some reason... I also noticed the AI is at the very least programmed to switch out when it can’t damage the opponent at all/without a neutral/SE move, which is nice to know. I never saw that many trainers switch out before. In other news, Cynthia’s name was “Servant Noelle.”

But yeah, that’s a thing checked off the Pokemon Bucket List. I still need to complete Sapphire/Emerald because I haven’t done that yet (at least not since I was a kid), which sucks because not only is that before the Physical/Special split, making it super lame, but also because I think the physical copies of the game we got so long ago were pirated copies, so they’ll inevitably delete my progress halfway through... The same problem’s going on with a used HeartGold I bought recently, because I’ve never officially defeated Red in those games. Plus, I really don’t like playing on an emulator for some reason. Not really for ethical reasons, just something deep down that makes it not as fun or authentic I guess... Lord knows I love the speed up function though. 

Never going to play Red/Blue/Yellow or Gold/Silver/Crystal though. You can really only like those out of nostalgia.

good morning (it’s probably gonna be like 1am by the time i finish writing this) tbh i’m known around uni & to my friends as being late for everything so why did i expect this to be any different???

hi, i’m alex!! i’m 20, i suck at intros but i’ll give this a good go! i’m going into my third year of creative writing in september so everything we do here is actually great practice; thx for letting me & my son interact with y’all <3 

( CAI XUKUN / CISMALE / HE/HIM ). [ TAO HUAN ] is a [ TWENTY-THREE ] year old [ UNDERGRAD ] student studying [ VOCAL PERFORMANCE ]. they are known for being [ HARDWORKING & CONFIDENT ], but also being [ UNTRUSTWORTHY & TEMPERAMENTAL ]. if there was a song that described their life, it would be [ GIVE YOURSELF A TRY BY THE 1975 ]. ( ooc: ALEX / 20 / BST / HE/HIM )

first things first!

he’s a newish idol (singer) muse that i made to replace another boy i had no muse for, so i’m still kind of figuring him out tbh, bear with me

early life!

born in chengdu, china, but his mother moved them to new orleans when he was three

we can skip past the typical cute good upbringing; he was a happy kid, never really knew his mom was struggling @ Life until he was older

also probably a theatre kid when he was at school; always that annoying asshole that always got the lead in school musicals & hardcore gifted & talented

career!

he’s a member of 7-member boy group cherry (3 years) and 10-member co-ed group trap (1 year)

unlike most of his members, he wasn’t scouted on the street. actually, huan waited and auditioned for two different companies while they were doing int. auditions when he was 13 and 15, but despite getting through both times his mother never let him go to korea to pursue it 

it took him another year of begging for her to let him do it tbh so she pulled her savings and put him on a plane and uhhh as they say the rest is history!

jk, he got through, everything is good, he debuted at 20 after 4 years of intense training 

his boy group has super cute concepts though and as much fun as he’s having, it really isn’t huan’s style. he’s out there on stage wearing cute ass pastel outfits and blowing kisses into crowds but he’d rather harmonise about sucking dick on 3 different tracks

tbh that’s why trap kind of exists? everyone in trap is a member of other groups or a soloist usually known for being cute, but their concepts are hella dark & mature

both groups are currently on an extended hiatus because of individual projects; acting, comebacks, etc

beaumont!

originally, huan was supposed to take online classes in a different subject but bc he’s so free atm, he’s decided he’s good to physically attend school for a while. his management might pull some strings and get it switched to an online degree if anything in his life changes, but for now... he’s here! uwu

he studies vocal performance because he lowkey misses the intense vocal training from when he was a trainee & also bc it ensures he practices while being away from his groups

also kinda why he dances & he’s a part of the music society too. music is basically his entire life, he doesn’t know a world outside of it

hmmm... actually fills up on a lot of extracurriculars bc he’s very VERY LOWKEY scared ab the future of his career even tho he’s...doing very well

BUT IM HERE ACTING LIKE HE’S AN ANGEL LOL!

bottom line is no one at school has fuckin heard of cherry or trap or even know his name and face so he’s pretty much free to do whatever he wants. he’s all nicey nicey with his fans & friends but he can be pretty cold & reliant on his money & his looks to have a good time/make new friends

like, he doesn’t really take anything and anyone seriously. he knows he’s gonna be out of here in a few years time (tbh maybe even less bc conflicting schedules) so he’s not worried about repercussions

hence being the president of kappa theta, and he’s fucking good at it

the only time he’ll be soft is on new brothers or those going through hazing, but it’s on the down low because he’s generally pretty unapproachable since he keeps to himself and he thinks it’ll ruin kappa theta’s overall image if he allows himself to be 100% soft w everyone

but he throws the best fuckin parties! no one’s been to a shit tao huan party, gn

connections!

SOMEONE HE’S SOFT WITH even tho i said he’s not soft bc im... gay and i want fluff

i 100% believe he’s fucked someone & then fucked them over, either bc schedules in the past, or recently at school bc he don’t...give a shit ab anything

maybe some of his group members oops????

roommate? they hate how huan always leaves his clothes & towels & instruments literally everywhere. one time they found his aftershave & toothbrush & one (1) shoe in their bag. how? nobody knows. certainly not huan

actually going back to that kind-of-ex plot; he’s been all over the world but w focuses on america, china, japan & korea so if u want an angsty ex-bf or ex-friend plot hit me up bc huan is perfect for those

probably has one set group of people (apart from his bros!) that he goes to for parties n shit. probably ditches every time they’re out & they find him again at the end of the night. he’s like a fuckin dust bunny he’s cruisin everywhere & u lose him sometimes but not to worry...he still there

u already know to hit me up if there’s anything angsty..yum

he’s a good older bro tbh even tho he’s an only child so uhhh some ppl he always kinda looks out for even tho he doesn’t know why?

SOMEONE HE DOESN’T REALLY LIKE BUT LOOKS OUT FOR ANYWAY????? WHATS HE SO PROTECTIVE FOR???

someone who actually does know him as a musician.. whether they like him or not. a fan? cool. someone who’s not rlly a fan? cool again

honestly i haven’t been in a decent group rp for a hot minute & i already see some ppl i know from past rps in here so i know we’re gonna have a good time; just hit me up with whatever u want & we’ll work on it! uwu

[stretfordender]

In the days leading up to the world cup I had what you might call a nineties renaissance. I read All Played Out by Pete Davies, watched One Night in Turin, changed my tumblr url to garylineker, sang World In Motion too many times to count. Tried to get my hands on an Italia ‘90 kit, although that was slightly too expensive.

I wasn’t born, in 1990. Forget understanding football or thinking about identity, I didn’t even exist. And in the twenty-eight years since then my parents got married, I’ve been born, gone to uni, graduated, gotten a job – and England still hadn’t ever gotten close to a world cup semi-final again.

It’s showed, over the years; shit tabloids writing shit takes, fans lashing out, the manager’s job becoming untenable, the players so abused it wasn’t even a moment of pride anymore. People forget that Gareth Southgate wasn’t supposed to be here; Big Sam Allardyce getting sacked led to even more grumbling. There was the group stages of 2014, and Iceland. When Harry Kane was appointed captain I thought oh, dear. Is there nobody else left? No one thought anything of us, not even ourselves.

There is vitriol in supporting England. There is banter and there is pure hatred. Even before this game I saw a billion 'anyone but England’ posts, rooting against us just because, drudging up the colonial past (strangely enough, the meeting of ex-colonial powers France and Belgium was perfectly all right, and I’m sure that if we had made the final, people would still have been rooting for France regardless). People even hate 'it’s coming home’ purely because we have a belter of a song. Like we aren’t allowed to sing to celebrate when every other country is.

So, going into this tournament: young squad, inexperienced manager, some very big teams with very big guns. The usual Ronaldo and Messi hype. I remember the end of the England managers documentary, Henry Winter looking at the camera and saying: if Southgate slips up against Panama –

No one thought we were going to be here four weeks later. No one.

Okay, it’s been a crazy world cup. Big guns falling left and right. And okay, we got the 'easier’ side of the bracket, although how you can call teams that beat Argentina or Mexico 3-0 'easy’ I don’t get. But that doesn’t negate the fact that we came into this, all of us, expecting to lose early. And we didn’t. We outlasted Germany, Spain, Argentina, Portugal, Brazil. We won a penalty shootout for the first time since – I couldn’t even tell you when, and it’s certainly the first time at a world cup. We scored a last-minute goal in our first game. John Stones scored two goals. John Stones!

Every step forward was another fever dream. Every song in the street, it was nearly complete, it was nearly so sweet. (Yes. I did that.) It’s Coming Home was only ever a joke, mind – it’s impossible to explain British humour – but through all the memes we knew what it really meant: the hope and the buoyancy and the people dancing on the streets. Cars honking England chants, people ditching Wimbledon and Justin Timberlake concerts to catch the games, concert organisers panicking because BST was on the same time as the final. The lift football provided even as the country continues to fall apart. The five minutes after Trippier’s goal where everything seemed almost unreal.

We didn’t ever really expect 'it’ to come home – Three Lions is a football song from 1996 and it was written because football was, quite literally, being played in the country where the rules were codified. The phrase referred to a geographical happenstance, not an arrogant declaration, as it seems to have been misread by so many jeerers and naysayers. And even then it doesn’t matter what it means. It was being able to say it four weeks into the world cup that counted.  

And that mood? Four weeks into the world cup? When customarily dirges have already been playing for days and newspapers have been crowning the latest scapegoat (Sterling, I’m sure, this round)? When the St George’s bunting in the supermarkets would have been taken down by now and no one would be talking about football till the league started again?

Instead: still buzzing, still wearing England kits, still painting red and white on your face, still singing, still hoping. Still dreaming. I came to an epiphany recently: the 'no more need for dreaming’ from Three Lions '98 isn’t saying that we don’t need to dream any longer because there’s no point; it’s that we don’t need to dream because we’re so close.

We were so close. We came from nothing we were so close. Everyone thought we were a joke we were so close.

This experience has been one of the best experiences of my life. I never thought we’d be here, still, but this team gave everything – goals, incredible saves, savage blocks, waistcoats – everything and more. This team played like they wanted to win. And when it mattered this nation got behind them, in a way it hasn’t been for a long time. My friend told me a story of seeing an old lady on the tube listening to Three Lions on her phone.

That, to me, is the most important thing. Of course it’d have been better if we’d won. Of course. But when are you going to see something like this again? Arsenal fans declared their love for Spurs players; Spurs fans for Liverpool players; Liverpool fans for United players? People actually thinking all right, now, we’ve a shot, people actually getting excited about international football instead of moaning about friendlies and breaks, players wanting to play for their country instead of trying to squirm out, a manager believing in his lads and making sure they believed in him?

We’ve got one more game to play. I’m sure that the lads are going to go for it like champs. When they come home they’re going to be treated like champs. No one is going to forget the summer of '18 (unless, of course, 2022 happens!); no one is going to forget the wild, mad, defiant, euphoric, roaring journey. No one is going to forget that feeling immediately after Trippier’s free kick.

In 1990, twenty-eight years ago, Pete Davies wrote:

Life, like football, is a game of ninety minutes. You get your span allotted, you do your best – and at the end, you’re all played out.

And though that end be cruel as hell, there’s no one can fault you for trying all you can until it comes.

Well, we’re all played out, but no one can fault this team for trying all they could until it came.  I am only proud and happy that we were here, once, now.

And for all you jeerers and naysayers and critics and skeptics and scoffers and mockers, lean in close and listen hard, because I’ve got one more thing to tell you:

It’s coming home.

Man Utd need point to reach Champions League after draw with West Ham

Mason Greenwood scored his 17th diagram of the season for Manchester United

Manchester United need some extent from their closing sport to clinch a Champions League spot after coming from at the lend a hand of to draw in opposition to West Ham, who confirmed their Premier League survival.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s aspect moved third, some extent before Leicester, who they face at the King Energy Stadium on Sunday.

However victory for Brendan Rodgers’ team will sigh the Purple Devils a spot in Europe’s elite club opponents next season – until fourth-positioned Chelsea lose both their final video games.

Within the interim, the level for David Moyes’ aspect guarantees Premier League football next season as they now lie four gains sure of the relegation zone.

Michail Antonio assign the Hammers forward in first-half of stoppage time with his eighth diagram in six video games after Paul Pogba gave away a penalty when he raised his fingers to block a Declan Rice free-kick.

Eighteen-365 days-old Mason Greenwood levelled with his 17th diagram of a stellar first season as a senior participant.

Either aspect had chances to take hold of it, with below-stress David de Gea producing a fingertip save to repel a deflected Jarrod Bowen effort and substitute Odion Ighalo become a near-submit effort huge at the replacement cease.

United already knew their efforts to true a top-four berth would tear the total manner down to the closing day at Leicester. However, the level means that, after being in fifth since February, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s aspect indulge in moved lend a hand into the top four for the first time since 14 September.

Relive the draw between Manchester United and West Ham

Greenwood the United large name

Though Solskjaer said genuine thru United’s pre-season tour of Australia he rated Greenwood as potentially the most productive finisher at the club, it used to be now not till December that he gave the Yorkshireman his first Premier League launch of the season.

Twenty-two video games on, it is miles laborious to mumble the line-up for considerable sport being picked with out him.

His most up-to-date clinical effort used to be his 10th in the league this term. Michael Owen’s improbable effort in 1997-98, when he scored 18, is the one time a teen has carried out larger since the Premier League used to be formed in 1992.

The intricate close passing with Martial which created the taking pictures replacement underlined that Greenwood is some distance extra than a goalscorer. It felt indulge in he used to be taking responsibility when other, extra skilled, team-mates had now not.

Owen went to a World Cup after his stellar season. Greenwood has overtime and, though he will restful be a teenage when the European Championships originate next summer season, on this evidence it would possibly perchance most likely well presumably be no shock to gape him integrated in Gareth Southgate’s squad.

The diagram used to be very crucial for United, who indulge in failed to take hold of successive home video games for the first time in nearly six months, however indulge in the revenue at unprejudiced the noteworthy time as Solskjaer looks to come the club lend a hand to one thing indulge in their ragged selves.

Moyes on a mission

At half of-time, Moyes marched in opposition to the dressing rooms with a look for of option on his face. He must moreover indulge in been feeling of good satisfaction.

Moyes used to be sacked as United boss in April 2014, lower than a season genuine into a six-365 days contract as Sir Alex Ferguson’s successor.

Within the make-up to the sport, Moyes said the one difference between him and Solskjaer used to be that the Norwegian used to be given time.

The statistics suggest Moyes has some extent. Solskjaer’s outcomes in his first 51 video games as United boss are broadly akin to the Scot, who obtained two video games extra, however misplaced an additional one as smartly.

The horrible difference is that Moyes used to be now not a legendary figure at Primitive Trafford and by no means scored an injury-time diagram to take hold of a Champions League closing. It means no-one will ever know if he will indulge in become around a nefarious first season.

However, attributable to Antonio, who has scored extra dreams in the previous 22 days than he has managed in both of the 2 outdated seasons, we cease know Moyes has twice dragged West Ham sure of a deadly pain in a relegation combat.

Not like two years ago, as soon as they ditched the Scot in favour of Manuel Pellegrini, West Ham seem sure to stick with Moyes, who has already told the club he needs them to launch promising less and turning in extra.

Man of the match – Mason Greenwood (Man Utd)

Greenwood scored his 10th Premier League diagram of the season for Manchester United

What next?

United cease the season with a crunch sport at Leicester whereas West Ham host Aston Villa. The total closing video games kick off at 16: 00 BST on Sunday.

Greenwood keeps on increasing – the stats

Manchester United indulge in obtained 10 of their 19 home league video games this season (D7 L2); only in 2016-17 (eight) and 2013-14 (9) indulge in they earned fewer home victories in a Premier League advertising and marketing campaign.

West Ham indulge in restful eight gains in their closing 5 Premier League video games in opposition to United (W2 D2 L1), extra than they managed in their outdated 18 league encounters (seven gains – W1 D4 L13) between Might perchance 2008 and August 2017.

Solskjaer’s aspect are unbeaten in 13 Premier League video games (W8 D5), which is now the Norwegian’s most productive roam in the opponents with the Purple Devils and his most productive league roam in his managerial occupation with a single club.

West Ham indulge in dropped 26 gains from winning positions in the Premier League this season, extra than some other team in the opponents in 2019-20.

Man Utd’s Greenwood has change into the first participant to ranking 10 Premier League dreams in a season as a teen since Romelu Lukaku in 2012-13 (14), and the first English participant to whole so since Wayne Rooney in 2004-05 (11).

No teen has ever scored extra dreams in a single season in all competitions for United than Greenwood (17 – level with George Easiest in 1965-66, Brian Kidd in 1967-68 and Rooney in 2004-05).

West Ham’s Antonio has scored eight dreams in the Premier League since the restart, the joint-most of any participant alongside Raheem Sterling. He now has 10 Premier League dreams this season – his most productive tally in a single advertising and marketing campaign in the opponents.

Trace Noble has created 14 goalscoring chances in West Ham’s closing two away league outings (8 v Norwich, 6 v Man Utd), one extra than his outdated 18 away league appearances mixed beforehand.

Chapter 4

The Watchtower. April 24th, 2028. 2:40 PM EST.

Damian entered the computer room and pulled his cowl off, letting a worn sigh pass his lips as he approached the seated figure currently still unaware of his presence. He didn’t think too much on it, but he and Drake hadn’t talked much since Damian became Batman. After Tim earned his Master’s in Forensics, he and Stephanie were in and out of Gotham rather frequently. Of course they saw each other every November, but they hadn’t actually sat down and had a proper conversation since… well, since Damian had been Robin.

“You certainly seem to enjoy monitor duty,” the Batman said as he leaned over the other cowled figure’s shoulder.

The Red Robin smiled as he looked back to meet his younger brother’s eyes. “Well, Stephanie always says I’m good with computers.”

“How are they, by the way?” Damian asked, taking the open seat beside Tim and running his eyes over the swarm of displays before him.

“Good,” Tim smirked. “Ryan’s about ready to start walking.”

“That’s big,” The younger man remarked, his eyebrows raised.

“Well… not as big as your news,” Tim said with a wink. “Congratulations, man.”

“Thank you,” Damian replied, rolling his eyes. He wasn’t surprised; Tim had a way of finding things out.

“Boy or girl?” The older brother leaned back in his chair and crossed his arms, his eyes moving back to the screens.

“We don’t know yet,” Damian leaned back, looking at the photograph Tim had placed on the console. In it he could see Stephanie smiling back at him, holding young Ryan in her arms. The boy had her hair and Tim’s eyes. Ryan was rather soft-spoken, not quick to warm up to new people. Still, the baby took to Damian well enough, much to his relief.

“You got names picked out?”

“Yeah.” Damian smiled. “Thaddeus if it’s a boy. Angela if it’s a girl.”

“Thaddeus…” Tim turned to look back at Damian. “Like Alfred.”

“Mhmm,” Damian replied. “And Angela for Arella, Raven’s mother.”

“Where is she, by the way?” Tim reached for his coffee as he asked.

“She’s gone to see Zatanna, tell her the news…” Damian paused for a moment before looking back to Tim. “Is Superman around?”

“The big one? Yeah, he’s here talking to some of the new guys,” the other replied. “Haven’t seen yours around, though. Sorry.”

“Ah well. Thanks anyways…” Damian sighed as he looked past the displays out at the planet below. He’d seen the Earth from orbit countless times during his time as Batman, being in and out of the Watchtower periodically. But even so, the sight of the world from so far away still seemed to mesmerize him every time.

“You hear anything from Jason lately?” Tim asked, casting his gaze out at the planet as well.

“No, not in awhile…” Damian was a bit slow to reply, thinking to himself. “Pretty sure he’s still on the road with Harper and Starfire.”

“Hmm…” Tim leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes. “I should probably give him a call. Make sure he’s not in jail or anything.” Damian stifled a laugh at the idea. Wouldn’t surprise him one bit; Todd was as dependable as they come, but that didn’t make him reasonable. He was still a loose cannon, and rarely did he ever do things by the book. That pattern of behavior evidently had rubbed off on Kori and Roy as well, earning their little triad a new moniker: “The Outlaws”. Damian thought it was a bit concerning, but he knew Jason meant well.

“Oracle to Batman. Dame, you there?” Damian jolted back to the present as Barbara’s voice came over his communicator. He quickly slid his cowl back on and engaged the suit’s HUD to see his sister-in-law looking back at him.

“Batman here,” the Dark Knight replied. “Go ahead, Oracle.”

“You need to get back to Gotham, now. Quinn says she’s going after Joker, and she needs you to come with her.”

“For God’s sake, I told her not to…” the Bat let out an irritated groan. “Fine, I’m on my way.” Damian looked back over his shoulder at Tim with a smile. “Drop by the Manor sometime. Dad’d probably like to hear from you.”

“We will,” Tim waved back at him. “See you soon, Little D.”

John Constantine’s apartment. Paddington, London. April 24th, 2028. 7:45 PM BST.

A light splash of water spilled into the doorway as the sorcerer stumbled through the doorway, his coat drenched from a walk in the rain. Cursing himself for not bringing an umbrella, Constantine stared back at his reflection in the mirror as the door slid closed behind him. He ran a hand roughly through his greying hair, studying the subtle lines of age beginning to show beneath his light beard. Time was beginning to catch up to him, it seemed. He smiled weakly, wondering why time had been so much kinder to his partner. Zatanna had hardly changed in the past ten years, he thought. Or maybe he just didn’t notice because they were always around each other. Despite the occasional fighting and butting heads, Zatanna Zatara was the only person John could always come back to at the end of the day. She just got him, better than anybody. Sure it sucked a little not living in the House anymore, but he didn’t mind. He hardly used all the space to begin with.

“Z, I’m back,” he called into the apartment as he stepped away from the mirror. “Knocked of early tonight, everybody was ‘eaded on home an account of all the…”

Constantine trailed off when he discovered that Zatanna had company over, locking eyes with Raven as he walked into the room.

“Hey John,” the younger mage spoke gently, leaned back into the sofa next to her sister. “How’s work?”

The detective chuckled. “Crap as always,” he replied. “Good to see ya, Sunshine.” Constantine shuffled further into the room, planting a quick peck on Zatanna’s forehead as he walked by her before dropping into his recliner.

“You hear the news?” Zatanna looked over at John as she took Raven’s hand. “You’re gonna be an uncle, pal.”

“I hadn’t heard,” John answered, peeking up as he did so, “but I could feel somethin’ comin’ off ya when I walked in. Kid’s got a strong spirit, an’ that energy comes off ya real strong if ya know how to sense it.”

“I know what you mean,” Raven said, looking down at her abdomen. “I could feel it almost as soon as it happened. I didn’t realize then what it was, but…”

“It?” John piped up curiosity. “What ya mean 'it’? Can’t ya… can’t ya tell what…”

Raven’s eyes widened. “Wait… you can??”

Zatanna turned back to Raven, one eyebrow cocked. “You really can’t? I thought you knew, what have you been doing up in that penthouse if you can’t tell?”

Constantine let out a laugh. “Boy, are you outta practice, aren’t ya kiddo?” He smirked as he began to pull off his tie. “You wanna know?”

“No!” Raven threw her hands up as she spat the word out, almost frantically. “I mean, not yet. Damian and I said we want to find out together.”

“Seems fair,” the older magician grunted as he propped his feet up on the coffee table. Before Zatanna could open her mouth with a “get your feet off the table, you moron”, a quick alert tone sounded from Raven’s communicator.

“Crap, I gotta take this, it’s from… huh.” Raven looked down in surprise at the ID displayed on her communicator. “That’s… wow, after all this time… I’ll be just a second.” Without another word, Raven quickly stood up and walked into the kitchen. Just as she left the room, John and Zatanna both looked right at each other, their faces both beaming.

“Ohhhhh ho ho, boy,” Constantine whispered. “Little Batsy’s gonna 'ave his 'ands full!”

“Right?” Zatanna replied, grinning wildly. “Can you even picture that punk with a kid?”

“Swear to god, we HAVE to get over to visit sometime,” the detective began to scheme, “even if i’s just to catch the freakin’ Batman at a little tea party in makeup for his princess!”

“You shut your mouth, John Constantine,” the older mage-girl snipped playfully, “there’s no way that little girl is gonna be the princess type. Have you SEEN her parents?”

“Z, I’ve 'eard the stories about that wank Raven 'ooked up with! They called 'im 'Prince Damian’! The girl’s already a prin–”

Both of them froze upon hearing the thump of Raven’s communicator hitting the floor, turning to see her walk back into the room.

“… cess.”

Raven’s eyes widened. “… you’re messing with me.”

Zatanna quickly stood up, walking quickly to Raven’s side. “Sis, I’m so sorry. We didn’t mean for you to– oof!” The words cut off as Raven’s arms slung around Zatanna’s neck, holding her tight.

“It’s fine,” Raven assured, a smile forming on her face as her cheek pressed into her sister’s. “This is… this is just… oh my god, it’s a girl, isn’t it?”

Constantine rose to his feet, rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly. “Heh, sorry kid. But 'ey, at least now namin’ the kid’ll be easier!”

Raven beamed back at John contently. “Actually, we already have a name picked out…” her cheeks began to redden slightly as she looked down. “… her name is Angela.”

CADMUS Headquarters, Washington DC. April 24, 2028. 11:36 PM EST.

“Welcome back to the real Project CADMUS, Mr. Wayne.”

The glass elevator doors swiveled back as Bruce walked alongside Director Waller into the dimly lit corridor. Aside from the hum of electricity, the hall of massive marked doorways was eerily quiet, save for the rhythmic clatter of the two elders’ footsteps, accompanied by the tap of Bruce’s cane. The old billionaire scanned his eyes over each doorway carefully, taking mental note of each door’s designation. He’d have to enter these into the Batcomputer when this whole ordeal was done… Bruce never trusted Cadmus. Not when he was the Batman, not they first came to into the public eye, and certainly not now. They made a habit of meddling in affairs that they had no business meddling in.

The two of them stopped abruptly at the end of the hallway and turned to the door on the left. PROJECT: KR, the door read.

“Mr. Wayne, before I show you what’s behind this door, I need to know you trust me, and that I can trust you. No more secrets here…” Waller peered over at Bruce from the corner of her eye. “… so you can go ahead and ditch that two-bit walking stick. I’m not buying your old cripple act.” Bruce looked back at the woman for a moment, before a faint smirk appeared on his wrinkled face. Chuckling low in his chest, the old Bat stood up straight, collapsing his cane and tucking it away in his coat. Waller shook her head subtly as she pressed her thumb to the print scanner on the wall. A puff of steam emitted from the doorway as the enormous metal door rose out of sight, and the two of them stepped forward into the room.

What stood before Bruce shook him to his core: at the very back of the room was a stasis pod, with the shield of the House of El emblazoned on the glass. Inside the pod was a boy, who looked about the age of sixteen, who bore a striking resemblance to…

“Dear god, Amanda…” Bruce muttered. “… what have you done?”

The old woman stepped forward, making her way to the console beside the boy. “Bruce Wayne, I’d like you to meet the Superboy.” Upon entering a few commands into the console, the pod erupted with a billow of steam as the glass case began to rise. As the fog dissipated, the boy opened his eyes slowly, revealing the same electric blue irises that Bruce had looked back into time and again throughout the years. Waller smiled. “Superboy, come greet our guest.” Immediately, the boy dropped to the floor from his pod, and walked up to the old man.

“Hello, Mr. Wayne,” the creature said quietly. “I am Superboy.”

Bruce’s brow furrowed as he thought hard about the situation he was in. The kid even sounded like the Boyscout. But his tone, the way he looked at him, the slight tremble in the boy’s knees… something was off.

“Waller, you need to start explaining exactly who and what this is, and why he’s here.”

Waller cocked an eyebrow. “Go ahead, child.”

The boy looked down at his feet for a moment before looking back up and meeting Bruce’s eyes. “I am a genetic replication of the hero called Superman. My purpose is to supplant the Superman should he fall in battle, or to destroy him should his behavior become contradictory to the interests and survival of the human race.”

Bruce crossed his arms, still processing this information. “You’re a clone of Superman.”

“Yes sir,” the creature replied, “however, I am not a perfect replication. Due to the limitations of modern human science, CADMUS was unable to produce a full Kryptonian. Instead, I am a human-Kryptonian hybrid, engineered to have as many of Superman’s traits and abilities as possible.”

“And I suspect you’ve never left this facility?” The old vigilante asked.

“No sir,” the boy answered. “The risk of Superman discovering my existence was deemed to great to permit my exposure to the outside world. Instead, I have lived here for the past year since my creation, developing my abilities and replenishing my strength through exposure to microscopic yellow suns kept within this facility.”

“Smart…” Bruce looked back to Waller, his expression grim. “So why are you showing me this?”

“Because I need some things from you. Three things, to be exact.” Amanda walked back from the console to join the two others in the room. “First and foremost, I need a favor…”

“A favor?”

“Yes…” Waller put her hand on Superboy’s shoulder. “I’ve had a change of heart after seeing how well the other Superman has been doing. What was his name? Jonathan?”

Bruce remained silent.

“Well, either way…” Waller looked to Superboy, then back to the old man. “Superboy has expressed a few times that he wants to see the rest of the world. He wants to know what it’s like out there, and… honestly, there’s not much left for him here. Doesn’t seem right to keep the boy locked away anymore.”

“This is rather out of character for you, isn’t it?” Bruce asked.

“Maybe so, but I stand by my decision. And I need your help.” Waller took another step towards Bruce. “I need you to take Superboy with you. Bring him to Superman, let him have a chance at a real life.”

“Why didn’t you just call Superman?” The Batman inquired, his eyes squinting with suspicion.

A twinge of a smirk appeared on Waller’s face. “Because you’re easier to reach, Mr. Wayne.” Bruce shook his head before looking back at the clone.

Superboy reached out, placing a hand gently on Bruce's arm. “Please.”

Fire Emblem Heroes Unit Review: Tobin

"I try to find souvenirs for my siblings between fights, but I can't afford anything too pricey. Maybe a jar, or some nice cloth. Looking at things like that helps me picture their faces... And that cheers me up, you know?”

Available: 4-5 Star (Tempest Trial Reward from Resonating Fangs)

Neutral Stats as 5-Star: 46/31/27/33/26 (IV’s always neutral)

Default Kit:

Armorslayer+ (12 Might: Effective against armored units) Fully unlocked at 5-Star.

Assist: Pivot (Unit moves to the opposite side of adjacent ally)

A-Slot: Attack +3 (Grants Atk+3) Fully unlocked at 4-Star.

B-Slot: Seal Speed 3 (After combat, foe suffers Spd-7 through its next action)

Pros:

High BST

Decent bulk in HP & Defense

Free Unit

Armor Killer

Cons:

Doesn’t excel in anything

Terrible base kit

Requires heavy investment

Average Resistance

Swarmed by the many blue mages!

The worst out of the Ram Villagers

Shut-up Tobin!

Oh gods... Everybody says Alfonse is the worst unit in Heroes. Oh, no, no, no, my fellow summoners. At least Alfonse has long-term uses and his stats and skills aren’t too bad if you look at it. But Tobin...

Yeah... I should probably explain a bit. Firstly, yes, Tobin’s HP and Defense stats are really nice, but they’re backed up by his terribly low speed. I know Alfonse has low speed, but Alfonse can hit incredibly hard due to his high Attack stat and Death Blow stacked up; bonus if he’s blow 50% HP. Tobin on the other hand, has an average attack of 31 and his default sword is only strong against Armored units, but even then, it may not be enough to take them down.

Speaking of which, his base kit, is quite really, just not that good! Pivot is a decent assist skill for quick escapes or blocking someone’s path, and Attack +3 gives Tobin a boost to his average attack stat, but Seal Speed 3... It’s not that great now considering Speed Smoke 3 now exists and the current meta game is offensive heavy. Failing to kill a unit can result a dancer to pop up and ruin your run (trust me, this happened to all of us!).

So if one wants to really use Tobin, Skill Inheritance is a MUST! Firstly, ditch his sword and find a good one like a Brave Sword+, Wo Dao+, Slaying Edge+, or Tobin can rob Gray’s Zanbato+ since Horse Emblem is extremely popular and dominates Arena. His A-Slot can be Fury 3, Sturdy Breath, Triangle Adept 3, Death/Darting Blow or even Life & Death 3.

His B-Slot needs to be changed with better options such as a -breaker skill he can access because there’s little chance Tobin can double his foes without them, or if he obtains a lot of speed boosts from Hones or Spurs/Drives. C-Slot is very flexible, with Threaten Defense being his best option to make him hit harder.

Tobin really needs a lot of investment to be decent at best due to his stats and even then, he has a lot of competition for the sword slot. Even Alfonse is a better candidate than Tobin since Alfonse is a guaranteed bonus unit for Arena wheras Tobin isn’t. Plus, with the many mages, especially blue, dominating the arena scene, Tobin will get destroyed in a flash. Even Nino can kill Tobin with standard Erika buffs (+3 Attack, +4 Speed/Defense, +2 to Res) without Fury 3 equipped! Now that’s just sad...

Still, he’s a F2P unit and can be used for some tricky special maps, but in most cases, Tobin is just another sword unit that doesn’t offer anything new to the table and gets outclassed by a lot of sword units, especially now since we have units like Sigurd, Arden, and Ayra; all three of which have unique skills and strong stats. But if you really like Tobin, then go ahead and surprise your foes if you like. Tobin would have been better as an Archer like he was in Echoes but FAYE stole the job despite her not able to wield a bow at ALL!

Suggested Skills (Bolded means Highly Recommended):

Weapon:

Wo Dao+

Brave Sword+

Slaying Edge+

Zanbato+

Lance users such as Effie, Camus, Cordelia, Ephraim

Sapphire Lance users such as Tsubaki and Oscar will destroy Tobin

Corrina does a similar job due to having good bulk

Brave Lance/Bow users

Swordbreaker units

Teammates:

Brave Ike to take on the physical units

Hector for any bow users not named Brave Lyn

Delthea for the massive +6 boost to Attack

Dancers such as Olivia and Azura

Here's his advice based on lessons learnt ... Richard Fowler found many unexpected obstacles and frustrations when he moved to the land of the red flag Photo: Getty 10:14AM BST 08 Oct 2015 1: The televisions are not on the blink After a long day at work in Shanghai, where I ran a window decor buying office, I would look forward to unwinding with a relaxing evening in front of the telly. Our TV had a very irritating habit, however, of intermittently shutting off, for just two or three minutes at a time, say once every three or four days. I noticed the same thing happened to the TV at my gym. Over a few pints with my friend Dominic, I complained about the irritating shortcomings of Chinese TVs. Dom chuckled and said: “What were you watching in the gym when the TV suddenly lost reception?” –– ADVERTISEMENT –– “A CNN report on speculation that Norway might give the Nobel prize to a Chinese human rights activist,” I replied. “And when the TV went off at your house two nights ago?” “A BBC World interview with the Dalai Lama…” The penny finally dropped. “Oh, I get it!” If someone had just told me about the intrusive censorship before I went to China then I wouldn’t have wasted so much time worrying about defective televisions. 2: Choose your topics of conversation carefully In the West we are usually at our indignant and argumentative best when criticising government policies and the politicians behind them. You should be aware, however, that criticising the Chinese government goes down like a lead balloon in the PRC. • Expat problems: how to cope with the biggest ones The indoctrination in school and from the state media is very strong so if you are foolish enough to embark on a political conversation take care to remember the following: Tibet has always belonged to China and the Dalai Lama is a troublemaker. The population of Hong Kong are a collection of Uncle Toms who were both delighted and relieved to be reunited with the motherland in 1997. In the Second World War, the Japanese were defeated by the Chinese. The Americans did not fight the Japanese; however, if you push, it will be conceded that the Americans did drop a large bomb. The Japanese are the devil’s spawn. The spontaneous uprising of the people to go and stone the Japanese consulate (actually orchestrated by the Chinese government) is fully justified therefore. 3: Be prepared to ditch your favourite clichés Following on from above, you really do need to reconsider how appropriate your favourite throwaway lines are, now that you’ve moved to China. One of my favourite retorts on being told that I couldn’t or shouldn’t do something was to say “Why not? It’s a free country!” A few months into my China posting I was persuaded to abandon this line and find a new, more appropriate retort. Unfortunately, “I acknowledge the need for a socially harmonious society and accordingly, I shall therefore temper my instinct to selfishly pursue my own interests,” just doesn’t have the same ring to it. Chinese demonstrators shout slogans near the Japanese consulate in Shanghai in 2010 Photo: Getty 4: In winter, always go well wrapped up to restaurants and cafes "Due to government decree, there is no central heating in public buildings south of the Yangtze river" I wish someone had told me that, due to government decree, there is no central heating in public buildings south of the Yangtze river. This policy was intended to bring about huge savings in energy costs, though of course the realities of this diktat are ridiculous. For example, just a few miles to the north of Shanghai, the public buildings are toasty warm throughout the winter. However, in Shanghai itself, people are expected to happily shiver through freezing winter temperatures. 5: Familiarity might breed contempt We tend to think that the repressed British are hardly a demonstrative bunch. Well compared with the Chinese we are almost French. As a foreigner in China, it is best to keep your behaviour as formal as possible, at least until you know someone really well. • The perils of French kissing I remember on arriving in Shanghai my wife, recognising a close colleague of mine, greeted him with a peck on the cheek. He was dumbfounded and just didn’t know where to look. Remember, an overly friendly greeting might make your Chinese friends and colleagues feel uncomfortable and could even cause offence. 6: It's not PC in the PRC "China makes the racist, sexist 1970s look like afternoon tea with Polly Toynbee" You’ll need to put your Western liberal sensibilities to one side and “man up”. China makes the racist, sexist 1970s look like afternoon tea with Polly Toynbee. For example, a colleague once showed what appeared to be genuine sympathy for the poverty suffered in many African countries. “It’s not their fault,” she exclaimed. “They’re just not as clever as us.” 7: The Chinese don’t do modesty To the Chinese, humility is a puzzling, alien concept. I used to enjoy the two-mile walk from my house in Honqiao to my office in Gubei. To my surprise I was confronted about this apparently harmless practice by several of my colleagues who chided me: “If you walk, people will think you are poor. They will think that you cannot afford a car.” 8: Manners maketh man The overwhelming majority of Chinese people don’t do manners. I am unsure as to the reason behind this. Someone once told me that when the Communists came to power, Mao labelled manners as bourgeois and consequently those with good sense dropped their manners overnight for fear of being perceived as a class enemy. • Are you an offensive expat? Whatever the real reason, the sheer rudeness on display can take the breath away. Be prepared for spitting, queue-jumping and being barged out of the way. A pedestrian walks past a signboard reading 'please do not spit, do not litter' in Beijing in May 2007. The city outlawed spitting, queue-jumping, littering and other conduct likely to tarnish its image ahead of the 2008 Olympics, with fines for the offences, but the habits remain rife across the country according to our writer Photo: Getty 9: Don’t drive Most expat postings, particularly in China, come complete with a car and driver. Some expat employees even have to sign a contract stating that they will never drive themselves. On the roads here, it’s every man for himself and whatever you do, you should never show consideration and never give way to any other driver. It shows weakness. Any outsider wanting to drive in such an atmosphere of anarchy would surely need his head examined. I am that man. I went out on the roads no more than seven or eight times. These proved to be terrifying experiences. After just a week or so, I hung my keys up for the duration and threw my newly acquired licence away. 10: Travel narrows the mind You may arrive in China with noble thoughts about the family of man, with your liberal certainties intact and a Guardian folded under your left arm. Unfortunately, experience soon corrects you. After a few months subsumed in a society where nobody says please or thank you, people routinely slam you out of the way in their hurry to get out of the lift, drivers beep furiously and try to run you down if you foolishly think the zebra crossing gives you some sort of right of way, where the loud rasping clearing of the throat is inevitably followed by the well directed spit… well, you get the picture. Before you know it, you are a committed cultural imperialist, clinging to the humane comfort blanket that is the expat bubble. You will gather in all the Western bars, and compete with others as to who has suffered the worst ‘China moment’ - the one that causes the usually calm and collected expat to 'lose it'. Some people hate the China experience and long for the day when they can get away. Others are seduced and want to stay forever. But one thing is certain: every expat experiences a China moment. Richard Fowler spent eight years living in Shanghai with his wife, Heather, and their children Isabel, 14, Tommy, 12, and Jack, 10. They moved back to Britain in 2012 and now live in Solihull.

Something WILL SHOW when a woman is pregnant. There is no glow. To many bump changes. How can a pregnant woman continue to wear heels. SHE IS NOT PREGNANT. Lyeing to the people's. People's around the world can see threw her lie. 1 week ago 508 Silver Chopsticks Well, Harry did marry an actress.

I can not believe he would go along with such a thing , BUT then kmoeing what has gone in the past , well i dont care know its an awful situation .

She’s much older than she’s saying according to her siblings n friends. (*41 years old) I feel sorry for Wills, losing his close relationship w/his brother. 1 week ago 43 Jennifer Christensen Debbie Learman. I think you are right. I've never warmed to her. She reminds me in so many ways of that other American woman who caused so much upheaval in the Royal family, Wallace Simpson. She too had a rocky relationship with her sister in law (Queen Mother) 1 week ago 21 Cheryl Parr YES ITS CALLED A SURROGATE 1 week ago 32 Kelli Gray Absolutely right!! 1 week ago 12 Gary Pretty hard to slip an already born baby into someone arms in a hospital, but much easier to do at home, why do you think she wants a "home" birth cause there isn't going to be one, just a baby handover from the real birth mother. 1 week ago 44 Bonnie Stewart @Debbie Learman You can thank MM the snake for that. Here in the states we know WHAT she is. If Prince Harry really wanted to marry a woman from my country there are plenty of decent women who would have never dreamed of coming between the brothers because a decent woman knows that's very wrong to do unless one brother is a violent criminal. And if that were the case she wouldn't get involved with the family period unless she wanted to become a criminal too. MM is a stain on my country. 1 week ago 25 15. , less witnesses to the truth 1 week ago 62 Common Sense Jennifer Christensen Men have no due dates, they can't give birth, and Mangina is wearing a moon bump. 16. 1 week ago 8 Rosa Clapshaw She's a he, stop with the suggestion. 1 week ago 5 17. Marylee Macpherson Yep 1 week ago 3 medcop2001 Buckingham Palace has an OR suite ready for any emergency she might encounter with a home birth. It was there for the Queen and the rest of the female royals. Princess Diana was the first to insist on having her baby in a hospital. Not all royals are born in a hospital. It's the woman's choice. You can believe whatever foolishness you want, but the facts will remain the same. 1 week ago 8 Rosa Clapshaw She's a he, stop with the suggestion. 1 week ago 5 Unfinished Business Rosa Clapshaw you look more like a HE than she does 😂 1 week ago 5 Lottie i love it Green @Bonnie Stewart mam and what are u harry marred the woman he love.wont u tell him that.he's the only one can answer u .and i promise u wont like the answer. 1 week ago 1 Megan Williams @medcop2001 Princess Anne was the first with her son, Peter (William's older cousin).

No standing on front of hospital with new baby and newspapers. Harry needs his own life. 1 week ago 1 babygirl31 Yes, I agree. Less witness. And then they will pay the surrogate mother's birthing witnesses. If she gives birth at a hospital, it would be harder to hide the truth that she is faking pregnancy 1 week ago 7 babygirl31 @Gary yes. Its a baby handing-over not her home birth 1 week ago 6 babygirl31 @Angela Cason really good idea and i totally agree. She loves the cameras... so put her in a country where there are none 1 week ago 4 babygirl31 @Pam Jaeger im starting to believe she is man hahaha 1 week ago 6 Sue Starlite Debbie Learman can you blame Harry for getting angry at William for discouraging his relationship with a woman that he loved when William knew nothing about this woman? Remember this tiff started long before anyone had ever met Meghan. Then at Harry's insistence, even though Meghan was unsure and DID NOT WANT TO LEAVE HER JOB WHERE SHE MADE A SIX FIGURE INCOME she moved to London where SHE RENTED HER OWN FLAT. Meghan, by all accounts, is wealthy in her own right. She didn't need to marry for money, unlike other now royals. Methinks there is a lot of racism when it comes to Meghan. No, I'm not black, not even a little bit, so don't even go there. I just know how to call spade a spade. Touche. 1 week ago 3 Sue Starlite Jennifer Learman it's not your concern to "warm to Meagan". In fact, are you a Royal? Go have a spot of tea and get your head right, you've fallen off your rocker. 1 week ago 3 Sue Starlite Bonnie Stewart, it's not Meagan that came between the brothers, you gossip hound. They fought before there even was a relationship to speak of except Harry was in love. Harry protects and loves his wife just like the wedding vows say he's sworn to do. Are you saying God is wrong? My, my, you are a bold one.... 1 week ago 3 Kelly Day @medcop2001 actually Princess Anne was the very first to have her baby at the lindo wing. Diana was the first royal to give birth to an heir to the throne in hospital,also at the lindo wing. Its also fact that any royal who was classed as a geriatric first time mother in the uk would be STRONGLY steered towards a hospital delivery. And no good mother would go against medical advise,who would risk wanting to put their baby at risk just because you wanted a home birth? Ive had 3 babies and was high risk with 2,and would never have gone against the medical advise to have them in hospital. And i didnt have age against me either. 1 week ago (edited) 4 Inge Winbigler @Jennifer Christensen the reason they were given frogmore is because Wallis Simpson is buried there. 6 days ago 4 Jennifer Christensen Inge Winbigler. I thought she was buried in France? 6 days ago Cynthia Burrus @Bonnie Stewart It is also well documented that she made her new Royal husband utterly miserable for the rest of his life indulging herself with multiple affairs. 6 days ago 2 Cynthia Burrus @medcop2001 I knew the Queen had done exactly what you describe. 6 days ago 2 medcop2001 @Megan Williams Thank you for the clarification on that. I should've done better research before commenting, but I figured they can look it up for themselves. Lol. 6 days ago 2 Cynthia Burrus @Sue Starlite Conversely, simply because someone has a less than positive remark to make, expressing exactly how they feel, certainly does NOT MAKE THEM A RACIST. That old tired story needs to be put to rest. Conversations SHOULD BE HONEST and no one should have to tiptoe around hoping not to be called a racist. The PC police need to find employment in another field. 6 days ago 4 medcop2001 @Kelly Day Thank you for the clarification. Someone else also corrected me (thanks guys). But my point is the same. Buckingham palace has a fully operational birthing suite. I'm sure she's been given the okey dokey from her Dr or she wouldn't be so keen on a home birth. There's nothing wrong with having your baby at home. Many women do it every day (including "geriatric" patients). I'm so sure she's had all the tests and is doing everything possible to have a healthy, happy baby. People need to stop being judgmental about someone they don't even know. It's none of our business really. None of the royals give a fig about anything anybody outside the family does. 6 days ago Sue Starlite medcop2001 finally a person with historical knowledge and not considering rag mags and Entertainment Tonight as the truth. Prince William was the 1st in line for the throne to be born in hospital and the only witness to his birth was his father. 6 days ago 3 Sue Starlite Rosa Clapshaw and you're a foolish person. 6 days ago 1 medcop2001 @Sue Starlite The Drs and nurses are considered the legal witnesses to the kids births. Charles was the first royal father to witness his child being born. I'm a voracious reader and a student of history. I love the royal family even though I'm American. Queen Elizabeth II is the only Monarch I've ever known. I have much love and respect for her. Diana was my favorite as well. She's my age, so I could relate to her. I was devastated when she died. I wish I had the opportunity to meet either one. 6 days ago 3 Sue Starlite Cynthia Burrus if you're prejudice there's other terms to use for people like you if you've tired of racist, bigot. I don't care what your "honest opinion is be it less than positive or not. I'm a Criminal/Clinical Psychologist people don't have to write or say words for me to know what they mean. Save your denial. 6 days ago 1 Sue Starlite medcop2001 I would never doubt your studies as I am not a scholar of the Royal Family, the History Channel Vol I received as a gift a few years back stated that Charles was the witness to his and Diana's children because the witness had to be from the Palace and then there was something about a footprint. I don't remember all the details as it was years ago. Anyway, I'm sure you're correct. Diana is my favorite royal too and probably always will be. She was born 2 yeas and 1 month before I was. To this day I can hardly type her b=name without tearing up. I'll never forget that terrible Saturday night. I had been out with friends, a rainy night and came home to watch Saturday Night Live. When I turned on the TV what I thought was a SNL skit was the news of the accident. I was sitting on the couch outraged telling my husband "This time SNL has gone to far, saying Lady Di got killed in a car crash is trash. We will never watch this show...." My husband came and sat down and held me...then I knew. It was awful. Bless her heart, even in death she still had no peace for years. Enough of that. I admire you for your studies. I do hope that Meghan truly is pregnant, which I'm sure she is, and that she and Harry can have a happy health baby and marriage. Harry deserves the love he craves and he does love Megan. Isn't that what matters? xo 6 days ago 2 Tasha Ross The Oueen did with Andrew and she had Edward also at home. 6 days ago medcop2001 @Tasha Ross The Queen had all of her children at home. That's how it was done back then. 5 days ago 1 Jessica Knox I see some inaccuracies being reported throughout the comments, so here are some facts.The Queen gave birth to all four of her children at home as this was the standard. After 30 hours of labor with Prince Charles they did a c-section (they have an OR for complications at the palace). The Queen was a healthy 22 year old at the time, and she went on to have three vaginal births at home following a c-section. The Queen was almost 38 years old when Prince Edward was born and it was considered a geriatric pregnancy or advanced maternal age. The only birth that Prince Philip was present for and witnessed was the birth of Prince Edward. He held the Queen's hand and was with her throughout the labor and delivery. She read about it being the new thing to do in a magazine. Princess Diana was not the first British royal to give birth at the hospital. The first was actually the Queen's daughter, Princess Anne. Hospital births became the norm from that generation on for the BRF, as all 8 of the Queen's grandchildren and all 7 of her great-grandchildren were born in the hospital. Countess Sophie's 1st pregnancy was ectopic and ended with surgery, she had a placental abruption with her 2nd pregnancy that ended in a c-section and a premature baby, and her 3rd pregnancy was also delivered via c-section. She was considered of advanced maternal age during all three pregnancies which is 35 years of age and older. 5 days ago 2 medcop2001 @Jessica Knox You are 100% correct. I had left out that Diana was the first to deliver the future Monarch at the hospital. I did forget that Prince Phillip was with the Queen when she delivered Edward. I figured these people knew how to use either a computer or smartphone, that they could look it up for themselves if they thought it was bs. You did a fantastic job with the answer.

ALL THEY HAVE TRIED TO DO IS TO DEFAME HER ALL FOR THE SAKE OF CATHERINE. THIS ALL STARTED AFTER THE SUCCESS OF TOUR. SOMEONE GOT NEVEROUS AND JEALOUS. SALDY THAT SOMEONE WAS CATHERINE. Y'ALL SAY SHE GOING TO BE FUTURE QUEEN OF CONSORT AND SHE'S NOT JEALOUS OR WORRIED. WELL THAT COULD BE 20 OR 30 YEARS AWAY. SHE IS CONCENTRATING ON WHAT'S HAPPENING AS OF RIGHT NOW. SHE WANTS THE ATTENTION AND TO BE THE MOST POPULAR ONE. MEGHAN IS THREATENING THAT AND THAT'S WHY I THINK SHE AND HER MOM ARE THE ONES WHO STARTED THIS WHOLE SMEAR CAMPAIGN. I COULD BE WRONG BUT I THINK I'M RIGHT.

Let’s Talk About Pokemon - Farfetch’d

083: Farfetch'd

Huh, it never dawned on me that Farfetch'd is the series's very first single-stage Pokemon. It looks especially lonely there after all these Pokemon that have a proper evolutionary family.

Farfetch'd's (???) state is just unfortunate. It has mediocre stats, it doesn't evolve, its ridiculously rare to boot. It'd be this close to winning the award for most forgettable Pokemon, but I've seen quite a number of people throw Farfetch'd some love. Though I'm not sure how much of that is because they're a fan of Farfetch'd, or if it's out of pity.

And it's not like Farfetch'd's (How the hell do you apply the possessive 's to a name like that?) design is bad in any particular way. Its pretty standard issue as far as anime ducks go. And it has the shape consistency down with its little leek, that it uses like a sword. You'd think that alone would lend it evolution potential, as something like a leek samurai. The problem with them seeming to be ditching adding evolutions to past generation Pokemon is that a Mega can't really save Farfetch'd, at least if they're going to stick by the +100 BST rule.

Farfetch'd is a little more of an oblong origin behind it. It's more than just a duck, it's based around the Japanese proverb “A duck has come bearing green onions.” Which basically means that an event is extremely unlikely, but extremely fortunate, since duck is apparently delicious with onion. Hence its English name being “Farfetch'd” as well as its rarity. It's also a cute little subversion of the phrase. Farfetch'd comes bearing onions, but it'll kick your ass with said onions.

It makes me wonder what other proverbs and common sayings you could base a Pokemon around. I know there's already a handful of them that aren't Farfetch'd, but we'll get to them as we get to them.

Personal Score: 6.5/10

I bet a Pokemon based on “Snug as a Bug in a Rug” would be cute as heck

Mario Draghi bows out at ECB after dramatic eight years – business live

Rolling coverage of the latest economic and financial news, including Mario Draghi’s final press conference as president of the European Central Bank

Introduction: Draghi is leaving the ECB

8.28am BST

Mario Draghi can also take some credit for getting eurozone unemployment down.

The euro-ara jobless rate is now 7.4% – still too high, but much better than the 12% seen in 2013.

It will not be a far fetched statement to say that Mario Draghi, the current president of the European Central Bank (ECB), saved the Euro. He saved the single currency of the eurozone by introducing three keywords: “whatever it takes”.

Another significant accomplishment is employment growth in the euro-zone, 11 million jobs. He can certainly be proud of his achievements at the central bank. However, the area of the eurozone which didn’t perform well under his tenure is inflation. It has been languishing, and unfortunately, the situation isn’t getting any better despite his last-ditch back in September to boost price stability—inflation.

8.16am BST

I fear that today’s ECB press conference will fail to match April 2015.

“What I wanted to demonstrate is that economics are not just some god-given thing that we have to accept and go along with. We can try to change our economy.

If the ECB was a democratically elected institution we could use it far more for the better.”

Southampton 1-1 Man Utd: Jannik Vestergaard header earns 10-man Saints a point

Jannik Vestergaard headed home Kevin Danso’s cross to cancel out Daniel James’ first-half opener at St Mary’s

Jannik Vestergaard’s towering header gave 10-man Southampton a point after another moment of magic from Manchester United new boy Daniel James looked to have put them on course for victory at St Mary’s.

James scored his third Premier League goal in four appearances with a fierce, rising right-foot drive after only 10 minutes, and the 21-year-old Wales attacker was the biggest threat for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side.

Saints, however, gained momentum in the second half as a disappointing United side grew increasingly sloppy, and Vestergaard capped a spell of pressure with the equaliser just before the hour.

Che Adams had blazed wide of an open goal and David de Gea had saved superbly from Danny Ings before the giant figure of Vestergaard rose to meet Kevin Danso’s fine cross.

It proved the high point of Danso’s afternoon as he was then sent off for a crude lunge at Scott McTominay when he was already on a yellow card, leaving referee Mike Dean with an easy decision.

United, predictably, laid siege to Southampton’s goal in the closing stages but were kept out as keeper Angus Gunn saved superbly from Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood, while both Jesse Lingaard and Ashley Young were just off target.

It leaves the Old Trafford side with only one win from four league games, the opening-day win against Chelsea being followed by draws here and at Wolves and that home defeat by Crystal Palace.

United lack quality & killer touch

Solskjaer bemoans Man Utd’s poor finishing

Few tears were shed when Manchester United said their farewells to expensive attacking failures Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez, departed for Inter Milan permanently and on loan respectively.

It was ironic, then, that a lack of killer touch by those left behind saw United leave St Mary’s with just a point after taking charge of most of the first half and mounting an assault on Southampton’s goal following Danso’s dismissal.

James mixed the dangerous and the erratic after his brilliant goal but looks a real talent, with pace to burn and end product – the same could not be said for the disappointing Rashford.

Solskjaer will rightly point to the late heroics of Gunn and several other near misses but their chance of victory suffered its biggest blow when they lost any semblance of control early in the second half and allowed the hosts, always determined under Ralph Hasenhuttl, back into the game, culminating in Vestergaard’s header.

Juan Mata had little influence, while Paul Pogba produced the sort of display that frustrates so many, conceding possession countless times and his efforts paling in comparison to those of the likes of James and McTominay.

United’s recent record is dismal, reading just two wins in their past 13 games and with no away victories since Paris St-Germain were beaten in the Champions League in March.

There is plenty for Solskjaer to ponder – and work on.

Hasenhuttl joy as Saints show fight

Hasenhuttl praises ‘unbelievable performance’ after draw with Man Utd

Saints boss Hasenhuttl’s reaction at the final whistle showed exactly what this point meant to him and his side.

The Austrian punched the air in delight, hugged counterpart Solskjaer then delivered a few more clenched-fist salutes before making his way around the pitch taking the adulation of the home fans.

It may only have been a draw but his delight was understandable. Hasenhuttl must have feared the worst when Danso’s reckless lunge at McTominay left his side at a numerical disadvantage and at United’s mercy.

Goalkeeper Gunn played his part, while bravery and last-ditch defending answered other emergency calls. It was exactly what Southampton’s manager and supporters wanted to see.

It also means Saints can look back at a good week, with a win away at Brighton, victory at Fulham in the Carabao Cup and a creditable draw here after opening with defeats at Burnley and at home to Liverpool.

Man of the match – Oriol Romeu (Southampton)

Oriol Romeu attempted more tackles (six) than any of his team-mates at St Mary’s, while only Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Victor Lindelof won back possession as often (11 times) as the Saints midfielder

United’s winless away run goes on – the stats

Southampton are winless in nine home Premier League matches against Manchester United (D4 L5), although this is the first time they have avoided defeat in consecutive home games against them since January 1998.

In the past three Premier League games between Southampton and Man Utd, the team scoring first has failed to win each time (D2 L1).

Manchester United have collected five points in their opening four Premier League games this season (W1 D2 L1), last picking up fewer in their first four games of a Premier League campaign in 1992-93 (four points).

Manchester United are winless in eight away matches in all competitions (D3 L5), their worst run since going nine without a win between April and November 2014.

James has scored three goals in his first four Premier League matches for United – as many as he scored in his final 22 Championship appearances for Swansea.

Vestergaard scored his first Premier League goal for Southampton in his 27th league appearance for the club, becoming the third Danish player to score for the Saints in the Premier League, after Ronnie Ekelund and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.

Southampton defender Danso is the first player to get an assist and be sent off in a Premier League game since Paul Pogba in December 2017 for United against Arsenal.

Before Danso, the last player to be sent off in their first home Premier League appearance was Yannick Sagbo for Hull City in August 2013.

‘Daniel James is fantastic’ – what they said

Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl, speaking to BT Sport: “We showed good mentality today after the red card. It was not easy. But with all the hard work, a man less and a third game in a week it is an unbelievable performance mentality from my team. I can only raise my hat to them. It was fantastic today.

“In the first half we showed a really intense performance. There was one action where we went 1-0 down. The players believe in what we are trying to do and showed they are always trying to be positive. That was the key to the success today.”

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, speaking to BBC Sport: “We need some scrappy goals as well. We should have won today – we had the game where we wanted it [but] we were careless in our finishing and our last pass.

“We built pressure, we got round them, created good openings but the clinical edge wasn’t there. We should have won, again.

“Daniel James is fantastic – he has a great attitude, he wants to learn, he is hungry. He is at the start of his career but with his habits he will have a good one. We want to help him become the finished article.”

What’s next?

Southampton travel to Sheffield United in their first game after the international break on Saturday 14 September (15:00 BST), while United welcome Leicester City to Old Trafford at the same time.

Fulham 2-0 Blackburn: Tom Cairney inspires Cottagers to win first season of stunning season

The excellent goal of Tom Cairney helped Fulham to First shot to make victory of the young season with a comfortable 2-0 win over Blackburn Rovers in Craven Cottage.

Captain Fulham, who had a frustrating season in the Premier League demonstrated the balanced, positional feeling and positivity that sets him apart at the championship level.

He ordered the game and covered a nice individual screen with a long range stroke 11 minutes before halftime.

Tom Cairney & # 39; s miracle strike helped Fulham defeat Blackburn for their first win of the season

Aleksandar Mitrovic sealed the victory by tapping the 82-minute Joe Bryan cross at home.

How different it might have been. Blackburn came in from Bradley Johnson by taking the lead within the first 50 seconds.

Adam Armstrong waved over a cross that hung in the swirling wind on the banks of the Thames and denied Johnson the opportunity to drive home his header.

Instead, his attempt bounced apologetically on Marcus Bettinelli's left post.

Harry Arter debuted after lending Bournemouth Premier League

Harry Arter was then on hand to throw his body away in the way of a Johnson shot that the Fulham was sometimes guilty of playing over. With the urge to faint from behind, they gave the ball away while they were in their own half a few times.

With 35 minutes passed, the club captain released a shot from outside the box

Keeper Blackburn Christian Walton was helpless to prevent the ball from hitting the back of the net

MATCH FACTS

FULHAM: Bettinelli, Odoi, Mawson, Ream, Bryan, Cairney, Arter, Johansen (Decordova-Reid 62), Knockaert (Le Marchand 84), Mitrovic , Ivan Knight (Reed 79).

OBJECTIVES: Cairney 35, Mitrovic 81

UNUSED SUBS: McDonald, Ayite, Rodak, Christie.

BLACKBURN: Walton, Bennett, Adarabioyo, Williams, Bell (Downing 71), Johnson, Travis (Graham 74), Rothwell (Brereton 65), Dack, Armstrong, Gallagher.

UNUSED SUBS: Leutwiler, Evans, Buckley, Platt.

REFEREE: Keith Stroud

The most significant contribution from Mitrovic in the first 20 minutes was indeed a blistering volley over his own bar while he defended a free kick.

The home team finally woke up. First Mitrovic dragged his shot wide after being released on the center line, then Anthony Knockaert came closer with another attempt with his left foot.

Cairney did not miss when Fulham took the lead in the 34th minute. Cairney collected a short 30-meter pass, arranged his corners, and flew with a lush left foot attack, causing Rovers keeper Christian Walton to grab thin air as it hit the net.

Fulham came forward for the second half impressed by the lead they enjoyed. They pushed forward on every occasion with Cairney excellent in his ability to create time and space to attack. missed the far post with inches

When the match began to swing from one penalty area to another, Ivan Knight was thwarted by an excellent last-ditch tackle by Elliott Bennett as he rounded Bettinelli.

Knockaert continued hopping in frustration after scoring an angular shot over the bar before Blackburn-replacement Danny Graham headed a Bennett cross wasteful three minutes after replacing Lewis Travis.

Fulham's victory was assured for eight minutes when the outstanding Bryan galloped from left to back, rode two challenges and pulled the ball field for Mitrovic to tap home from six meters.

All three points were secured secured thanks to Aleksandr Mitrovic & # 39; s first goal of the season late on
