She's honest and won't hesitate to stand with truth . But also is not mean like she's honest but she's very kind with her words ❤️ . She's also our ultimate wingman too.

2. Kenji

And he's very similar to waleska they both are fun person to be around tho Kenji is slightly less smart than us. But that's his charm lol ! We play dti and horror games together and he sometimes he purposely leaves Me and Will alone in game . And also always giving Will subtle hints about my crush on him 😢 😭 it's so embarrassed like where is our alpha males solidarity.

3. Vid

So she was my bestie in my old reality but since I moved back to my parents home our relationship is now very distant and it hurts me so much. So In my target reality we live close by and we spend so much time together it's like we are always sticking together. She also works at pizza place .Either she's at my place or I'm her's. If either of us is alone people will ask where is the other "idiot" . Shes introvert but fun personality she likes horror and everything not normal but she's also big scaredy cat . She enjoys art and i make art lol we are like perfect duo . We always drag her in our stupid explorations.

This is very cool, but given that 9,000 years ago is well before the genetic isopoint for all humanity, if Cheddar Man has living descendants then he is an ancestor of *literally everyone currently alive on Earth*.

Source: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.scientificamerican.com/article/humans-are-all-more-closely-related-than-we-commonly-think/%3famp=true

EDIT: except i just noticed this says Targett shares a maternal ancestor with Cheddar. which doesn't mean he's a direct descendant.

The reconstructed face of the “Cheddar Man” (c. 7,000 BCE) compared to his living descendant, Adrian Targett    

The Cheddar Man is a Mesolithic skeleton that was recovered from England’s Cheddar Gorge in 1903. At around 9,000 years old, the Cheddar Man is the oldest complete skeleton ever discovered in the UK, and has long been hailed as the “first Briton.” DNA analysis on the Cheddar man from 2018 indicated that he was lactose intolerant, had light-colored eyes, dark brown or black hair, and had a dark to black skin tone. Although the discovery of the Cheddar Man’s dark skin tone was surprising for both scientists and the public alike, it corresponds with recent research suggesting that genes linked to lighter skin only began to spread about 8,500 years ago - approximately 32,000 years later than what was previously believed.  

In addition to the development on his skin tone, the Cheddar Man surprised scientists in 1997 when DNA analysis revealed that he had a living descendant -  a retired history teacher named Adrian Targett. Targett and the Cheddar man share the same mtDNA, which is passed down from mother to daughter. In other words, they share a common maternal ancestor. What is even more remarkable is that Targett lives in Cheddar, only a half mile away where his 9,000-year-old ancestor was discovered.

Targett was not invited to the initial reveal of his ancestor’s new facial reconstruction, but he has since seen it and has commented on the family resemblance. “I do feel a bit more multicultural now,” he once joked in an interview “And I can definitely see that there is a family resemblance. That nose is similar to mine. And we have both got those blue eyes.”

The development of the Cheddar Man’s skin tone has generated resistance, especially among far-right and white supremacist circles. Targett, however, is unbothered by it, stating that it is “marvelous what scientists can reconstruct once they sequence the DNA.” When asked if he thought whether the findings affected the way people think about race, Targett responded: “Yes, I do think it’s significant. Not many people in Cheddar mind it. But the lesson is that we’re all immigrants, whether you’ve been in a place for 10 minutes or 9,000 years. We’ve all come from somewhere.”

#14 Who dares wins

If you are curious what has happened before, you can read the story from the very beginning. If not, it’s totally fine: #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 #8 #9 #10 #11 #12 #13

At 7 P.M. I went outside to see a cab Mallory had ordered for me. The weather resembled the day when I, Katherine Targett - the most recent addition to the double-0 section - drove my own car to meet my new supervisor... Only this time I felt relieved I didn't have to worry about the right way, the traffic jams... anything. I sat at the front seat. Some nostalgic songs came on the radio, one by one.

I had absolutely no idea what to wear, so I would look appropriate during that unofficial meeting. Not to mention I wasn't informed on the fact where this meeting would be held. It's not every day that a person like me, and most of all, a double-0, knows *that* little about the upcoming few hours, allowing someone to completely surprise her, I thought. My profession forced me to always predict what could happen next and, if possible, have full control of the situation, but that night I surrendered to fate. Kath, something has definitely changed in you.

What no one could make me change was the fondness of shirts and jackets. They've been one of my favourite parts of clothing since I could remember. As a little girl I’ve been looking up to men, and probably thought that dressing similarly to my male heroes would make me resemble them. It was a sign of my respect towards them, rather than jealousy or feeling inferior to men. So, after an hour or two of careful consideration, I've picked a not too formal not too casual white shirt in navy stripes and a pair of black chino trousers.

The darkness of the night made it difficult for me to remember the way. However, I was sure we were going to the outskirts of the city. It was a forty minutes drive - enough time to torture myself with mind-boggling questions. Naturally, the most frequently asked one was about the place of the meeting. I've been wondering where Mallory would like to talk to me and why he insisted on the meeting to be unofficial.

I noticed that we entered a long, dimly lit street. The cab slowed down, passing by a few single-family houses. Does it mean I'm going to see Mallory's... home?

The driver stopped in front of one of the gates and I've seen a figure waiting in the heavy rain under his black umbrella. The man must have been outside for a few minutes already. It was nearly impossible to see anything in the dark and rain (even though the cab stopped close to the lantern), but I recognized Mallory by the shape of his coat.

Before I got out of the cab, I looked at the house through the car window. It was a bit too large for a man who lived alone, but I guess he could afford it. Mallory opened the car door, holding the umbrella above me.

"Thank you," he said to the driver, raising his voice, as it was difficult to hear anything in the rain. "I've paid in advance."

"Good evening, sir," I greeted my supervisor, trying to meet his eyes in the dark.

"Good evening. Follow me."

I did as I was told. All the questions I had asked myself earlier, irrevocably disappeared. Just act naturally, Kath. Que sera, sera.

The place felt fascinating ever since I’ve entered it. It was a storey house that must have been built a long time ago. Inside, it looked pretty much like an extended version of M's office at the MI6 Headquarters. There was this old-fashioned atmosphere that I associated with my supervisor and it seemed Mallory liked wooden furniture combined with dark colours on the walls.

Mallory helped me to take off my double-breasted coat and then invited me to the living room.

"Would you like to have a drink?", he said, while entering the room. I quickly lost track of him.

"A glass of dry red wine will do," I answered, as I slowly strolled down the corridor, refusing to join Mallory in the living room just yet.

I took advantage of the absence of the host. I looked around and I immediately noticed the painting our section gave him last Christmas. It was the only decoration in the corridor, apart from one framed photo that was on the dresser. It showed Mallory in his SAS days.

I couldn’t possibly impose on Mallory, so I refused to ask him about the photograph, and walked into the room. Mallory put my glass on the table near the couch and let me sit there. I did as he suggested and observed his movements when he walked across the room with an empty glass in his left hand and a bottle of wine in the other. He leaned against the cupboard (full of bottles of scotch, champagne, and wine), this time pouring himself a glass.

"I suppose you wonder why I invited you here tonight..."

I was sitting on the couch with a glass of red wine in my hands. My legs were crossed, as I didn't feel confident at all. The distance between me and Mallory was just right - if he stood closer to me, I wouldn’t be able to focus on the conversation. This is what you’ve brought yourself to, Kath. You’ve fallen in love with that man badly.

"... the reason behind this are both my curiosity and concern," Mallory said slowly, as if he was explaining something, and then hesitated for a moment. "I've already told you on the phone that the reports you and Bond provided after a mission in Monte Carlo are *satisfying*, but... in light of recent events, it appears they do not cover everything."

Mallory took a sip from the glass and put the bottle on the cupboard. He stood straight up and looked so majestic and tough, he commanded respect. His eyes were filled with tenderness and seriousness at the same time.

"I hope you forgive me for being so straightforward... Is it true that Bond is interested in you?"

His question genuinely surprised me. Not only because I was sure he wouldn't care, but also because he knew something about my private life. He knew something was going on. I completely forgot that his role as the Head of MI6 was to have this kind of information.

"I wasn't aware you would like to know that, sir," I said, trying to sound emotionless, as I wanted to hide the truth from him. I had two big sips of wine.

"Oh, please. This is *not* an official meeting," he replied in a deep, but warm voice - the kind of combination I'd never expect from him. "There's no need to call me *sir*. I'm Gareth."

"Yes, si... Gareth."

"So?", he insisted. His tired, green eyes waited for my response. "The whole double-0 section talks about it," he added, slightly titling the glass he held in his hand. He was as relaxed, as if he has just asked me about my holiday plans or something similarly irrelevant.

"Oh... I... I admit it feels peculiar to find out the members of the section actually have time for gossiping," I joked, believing that it would help me to avoid giving him any details.

“Hmmm,” Mallory murmured and smirked, looking down on the glass. He seemed both amused and irritated, but continued as if nothing’s happened.

“That's definitely true. They should have not spread the rumours... but you didn't answer the question,” Mallory drawled coldly. His smile vanished and I was very  much aware that I shouldn't make more jokes about the matter. I answered honestly.

"Yes, it's true. At least it's what Bond has told me."

Mallory's face changed again. It expressed a mixture of emotions, mostly dissatisfaction. He put the glass on the cupboard and his hand has gone through his hair. Then he placed his hands on his hips with his fingers touching the braces. The light blue shirt matched the pinstripes on the navy trousers.

"I have to tell you it has happened for the first time since I run this department," he confessed, sounding uptight. "Bond has never declared his feelings for anyone in the double-0 section before... Believe me or not... The thing is... he is not someone who knows how to treat a woman... in the long run."

The way he delivered his statement left me speechless for a while. I couldn’t bear to look into his eyes, so I turned my head to the window. Still the same heavy rain.

"Thanks for your concern, but," I paused, trying to find the right words which wouldn't make me sound rude, and then I looked back at him. "Uhm... I thought you don't care about your employees' private lives."

He turned to the cupboard and took a sip of his glass.

"You're right, I don't care, as I've already told you before," Mallory looked down inside his glass and stirred the wine with the delicate movement of his wrist. He continued, looking me in the eye and sounding semi-friendly again. "And you could say it's none of my business. Which is true, unless two of my agents have an affair and it influences their work. You understand what I mean."

Of course I did understand. How could I even think that his concern was more personal. How could I even think that our dance meant anything to him... That he cared more... about me. I would have loved him to be worried about me, but it clearly wasn’t the case. I had to act like a professional.

"I perfectly understand," I replied, sounding as seriously as I could. "I can assure you there is nothing between me and Bond," I shook my head and felt that my shoulders went their way up. “So, this is not going to influence my dedication to the job”.

Mallory put his glass on the cupboard again and started to walk towards the couch.

“I believe you,” he said, stopping a few steps in front of me. “You didn’t lie to me. I appreciate that," he added, nodding his head.

Mallory changed his attitude so fast, that it didn’t make sense to me. I frowned and stood up.

“So, you asked me all this, but... you didn’t have to... right? How long have you known that...?”

"Long enough to connect the dots."

Typical Mallory, I thought. Straightforward and terse, avoiding unnecessary words. His response only confused me more.

"Now I get it... you sent me and Bond on a mission together to confirm your suspicions?”

“I didn’t have to.”

I gave him a questioning gaze. Mallory raised his left hand in an incredulous gesture.

“For God’s sake, Katherine! You’re a double-0,” Mallory sighed, shaking his head. “That requires a *special* level of controlling what you do. You *know* that. You agreed to this when you signed the papers. And besides,” he cleared his throat, “it doesn’t take a section chief to notice what is going on.”

"So... why I'm here!?” I raised my voice. “Is it your way to test my loyalty?"

Mallory didn't answer. Instead of this, he took the glass of red wine from my hand and placed it on the table. He looked at me with his clear green eyes. I realized I was standing really close to him.

The fact that Mallory refused to respond didn’t matter anymore. There was only one thought that crossed my mind at that exact moment. Everything or nothing.

I stepped forward, boldly looking up at his wrinkled face.

"This is an unofficial meeting, isn't it... sir?"

He laughed.

"It's Gareth."

"Gareth," I corrected myself and took a deep breath. Now I could smell his cologne.

"Nothing could have been more unofficial than this," Mallory assured me.

I locked eyes with my supervisor. There was nothing I wanted more in the world than to let him know that I love him. Instinctively, I stood on my toe tips and kissed him gently. It took me a few seconds to realize what I've done.

I thrown my arms around Mallory, when I felt his hands on my waist, locking me in a tight embrace. My knees got a little weak, but he held me safely in his arms. We went for a more passionate kiss, as if we've just been given permission to get carried away after years of denial. Thankfully, we didn’t have to pretend anymore.

I slowly moved my hands to Mallory’s neck. I tried to find his collar with my eyes still closed, and then I started to unbutton his shirt.

"No, Katherine," he said firmly, pulling me away.

My face immediately turned red and I started to stammer.

"Oh, I'm so-o so-orry, sir... I didn't wa-ant to... I-I ju-ust thought..."

"No, it's fine," Mallory added gently and kissed both of my hands to calm me down. His touch was surprisingly comforting, given the level of embarrassment. "First of all... I want you to know...” he took a deep breath, “...that I didn't invite you here, so I could use you. I mean..."

I knew exactly what he meant. What the man feels for me is not lust! I must be dreaming.

I placed one of my fingers on his lips, interrupting him. I gently touched his face with my other hand, caressing his cheek with my fingers. Then I hugged him tightly, putting one of my hands in his hair. Our cheeks were so close I could feel a smile appearing on his face.

...

We spent the rest of the evening cuddling on the couch and drinking wine. We barely said anything, probably still being in shock. However, none of us complained about it. It just felt right.

Suddenly, my phone rang, but I decided not to stand up. I preferred to remain in Mallory’s arms.

"Aren't you going to answer?", asked Mallory, whispering into my ear.

"What for?", I replied. "Let's not ruin this moment."

"Maybe it's something important."

"All right. I'll check it. Be right back," I said and placed a kiss on his left cheek.

I went over to the table to look at my phone’s screen. I stopped smiling. Mallory noticed it.

"Who is it?"

"It's Bond."

David Christian & the Pinecone Orchestra- For Those We Met On The Way (Tapete)

Longtime leader of the great Comet Gain, David Christian, figured why the hell not. Many of his favorites artists did solo records (Gene Clark, Mike Nesmith, John Cale and too many others) so he figured why not him, right? With all that was going on in the UK last year (ok, in the whole darn world) he high-tailed it out of there for Southern France and made himself comfortable. He contacted some friends, Mike and Allison Targett from the band Heist (he recorded in their facilities) plus he got some help from some other friends in bands (folks from The Clientele, etc.) and For Those We Met On The Way was born. You’ll hear a lovely array of both electric and acoustic guitars plus piano, pedal steel, and more and the whole things feels and sounds very organic and totally homespun.  “Goodbye Teenage Blues” title explains it all as does the sad “On the Last Day (we spend together).” The awesomely-titled “Lockets, Drop-Outs and Dragnets” reminded me of Dylan before he went electric at Newport and  “See You in the Almost Sunshine”  (at 2:44 one of the shortest songs on here) drapes layers of acoustic guitars over Christian’s plaintive vocals and the beautiful “Holloway Sweethearts” dreams a perfect dream. This record is a major score for the Tapete label, (who’ve released many terrific records over the years).  I can only imagine other label owners hearing this and wishing they would have released it. If I had a record label I’d want this feather in my cap. Settle in and give For Those We Met…. a listen or ten. Make yourself comfortable (which thee record does a fine job of), you won’t be going anywhere for while.     www.tapeterecords.com          www.comet-gain.bandcamp.com

Liverpool Vs Watford: Liverpool transfer reminder issued by Ismaila Sarr as Watford make winning Premier League start

Ismaila Sarr has been related with a Liverpool Football Club transfer in the past. The winger shone in Watford Football Club’s win over Aston Villa Football Club, looking comfortable at Premier League level. In all the enthusiasm of the new season, Liverpool Football Club admirers have come dangerously close to forgetting what we all know matters transfers. Thankfully, Ismaila Sarr was on hand to matter a reminder. The winger has been much related with a move to Anfield in the past, and he shone as Watford Football Club made a winning start to life back in the Premier League.

Premier League fans from worldwide are called to book Liverpool Football Tickets from our online platforms, WorldWideTicketsandHospitality.com. Liverpool fans can book Liverpool Vs Watford Tickets on our website at exclusively discounted prices.

There is much to endorse Sarr to Liverpool FC. He surely has the pace to slot flawlessly into Jurgen Klopp’s bout, and he sees how to use the ball when he gets into unsafe areas. He is primarily utilized as a right footed right winger, which is not perfect for Klopp’s system, but he also has a rational body of past work as both a left winger and a center forward. This flexibility is a big asset and it is worth retention that Sadio Mané, Sarr’s compatriot, also came to Liverpool FC primarily as a right-sided winger.

Watford Football Club deployed Sarr on the right in contradiction of Aston Villa, then there was still plenty to be garnered from his performance from a Liverpool FC perspective. Most particularly, his one-on-one aptitude was on display for all to see Matt Targett got a chiefly close-up view and ended up being reserved at half-time after a torrid 45 minutes. The change from Dean Smith also allowable for a tactical change, but it is no accident that Targett was the one forwent. Sarr ran him ragged, thrashing him for both pace and skill time and time again.

Not only that, nonetheless the Senegal international had the end artefact when he reached the positions of maximum chance. He will not be formally credited with the assist for the opening goal, as new signing Emmanuel Dennis took two bites at the cherry earlier locating the chance away, but the pull-back is what made the advance possible. Klopp is not looking for somebody who can make it to the byline and then cross it blindly Sarr has a mind that can keep up with his feet, no small success.

If he was unsuccessful to not get the backing, Sarr was perhaps a little fortunate to get on the scoresheet himself. After finding his way outside Targett once again, his effort looked intended to be dealt with by Emiliano Martínez. Though, a wicked deflection lifted it over the Argentine stopper and into the back of the net. Even so, it’s no less than his performance merited 10 touches in the consequence area and four chances created signified a very productive afternoon at Vicarage Road, chiefly against opposition whom many have tilted for a top-half finish.

There is still time for Liverpool FC to do somewhat in the transfer market, and Sarr has put his name back on the radar at an fitting time. Cover for the front three will be high on the list of urgencies the fact that the Watford Football Club man will also be off to the African Cup of Nations in January is far from ideal, but eventually the tournament will only see Liverpool’s stars miss up to two matches. For more to know about Liverpool Vs West Ham United Tickets.

At 23, Sarr also flawlessly fits the FSG age profile. Diogo Jota was signed at the same age last season; it flawlessly combines knowledge and potential, offering both immediate influence and room to grow. The view of Sarr doing his growth under the tutelage of Mané, who has a good association with the Watford man, is an enticing one.

What is somewhat less enticing is the price. Watford had to part with a large fee to acquire Sarr in the first place, shelling out £27 million to Stade Rennais. The market has since hurt because of the epidemic, but the Hornets’ return to the Premier League will ease much of the financial weights being felt by some other clubs they would surely demand more than their money back, with the £40 million prices cited last summer still discussion about right. It looks unlikely that FSG will sanction that kind of devote in this transfer window, chiefly without further outgoings success in receiving Divock Origi off the books may alter the picture late on, but eventually a deal for Sarr looks unlikely for now.

Even so, Liverpool’s staffing team will undoubtedly be taking note of how at home Sarr looks in the Premier League. His stay was a brief one last time out while he continued to post good numbers in the Championship, there is always the doubt as to how that will translate to the top flight. The early signs are promising: if he can keep this up then Liverpool may well come calling, whether that is within the next fortnight or further down the line.

The Spread of Melanoma to Bone: Historical Perspectives | Juniper Publishers

It is axiomatic that present “truths” have historical perspectives. Consider melanoma. It is distinguished by its possession of pigment characteristically. The word came into existence in 1838. A decade later, the Pathological Society of London started to publish its Transactions. Therefore, what is of interest concerning this cancer? Moreover, a famous German Pathologist, Julius Cohnheim, confided that necropsies provide answers to questions regarding metastasis. Consequently, this paper reports on the spread of melanoma to the bones from 1848 to the end of that century. It is concluded with the impressive thoughts of one of the quoted old masters!

Keywords: Cancer; Melanoma; Spread; Bone; History

Introduction

It is axiomatic, as Moser [1] stressed, that medical “truths” have historical perspectives. Therefore, consider “melanoma.” This cancer is characterized as being pigmented and as having crept into the English language in 1838 [2]. Now, since [1] pathologists started to publish the Transactions of the Pathological Society of London in 1846-48, [3] and [2] a famous German pathologist, Julius Cohnheim [4], considered that Nature shows her footsteps when necropsies are carried out, what has transpired between 1848 and the end of that century? This paper answers this question with a series of recorded cases.

Historical texts

Rickman Godlee [5] stood out with a confession. As he put it, “I must express my regret that the spinal cord was not looked at, and that none of the bones were sawn through.” Likewise, Payne [6] was pained that, though the tumors were “deeply pigmented, some very black,” the only internal organs found were the liver and the lungs [6].

Battle [7] remarked that the secondary deposits were “universal” and included bones. On his part, Beadles [8] was brief. The vertex of the skull exhibited, he noted, “a commencing growth.”

Between the scalp and the brain convolution, as Ogle [9] observed, there was intervening bone involvement, although both structures were unscathed. However, in the experience of Targett [10] both the base of the skull and the dura mater succumbed.

Rolleston [11] had a wider experience. Thus, there were deposits in the third and fourth left ribs. In particular he noted the following links: He had left hemiplegia from the pressure of a growth which, starting in the right parietal bone, had penetrated the skull, depressed the dura mater and surface of the cortex, and at one point had penetrated the dura mater, and formed a polypoid tumour which was embedded in the substance of the right cerebral hemisphere.

Sanderson [12] saw, on both sides of the vertebral column, its associated group of growths thus: a number of tumors, varying in size from that of a pin’s head to that of a large walnut. These were most abundant on the left side, where they formed a chain connecting the spleen with the kidney and extending from the latter into the pelvic cavity.

In the experience of Legg [13] the connection was between “the ribs, near the vertebrae.” Turning to Fagge [14] he presented two cases in one of which the combination of deposits was “in the dipole of the calvaria and sternum.” Calvert and Pigg [15] observed the colonization of numerous sites including the lumbar vertebrae.

Discussion

It is noteworthy that the weighty tome of Willis [15] considered miscellaneous secondary tumors of bone but, under melanoma, gave only references which appeared in 1907, 1912, 1922, and 1928. In my contribution to the American Book on “Bone Metastasis” [16] mine was the Introductory Chapter. Interestingly, in the references in it demonstrated, I included some above cited works of Godlee [5], Rolleston [11], and Legg [13]. Here, it is apposite to draw attention to the very ordered reasoning concerning the entire metastasis phenomenon. This was expatiated on by the first of them as follows:

Conclusion

In conclusion, I would say that these pigmented tumours, when they fall in our way, are worthy of very careful observation. We are able to detect the first appearance of a new growth in any part, and it is evidently these very minute ones which afford the best opportunity of studying the method of development of this particular disease, and probably of throwing light on the origin and progress of sarcomata in general.

The 6 Scotland wild cards who could gatecrash Steve Clarke‘s Euro 2020 squad

Everyone will be hoping our Kilted Kangaroo Lyndon Dykes is raring to go but if we need another option up top then the former Everton man would make sense. He is similar to the QPR man in that he likes to link the play with his feet as well as providing a target at the top end of the pitch. The 6ft 5in Reims forward is a Scotland U21 stalwart and has netted 10 times for his country under Scot Gemmill's stewardship. Midifielders love playing with him as he specialises in linking the play up. Callum Paterson is a decent auxiliary choice but Hornby offers more as fourth option behind Dykes, Leigh Griffiths and Oli McBurnie. The former Dundee man is rivalling James Tavernier in the defender scoring stakes this season. The 28-year-old is in brilliant form for Alanyaspor after leaving the City of Discovery for his Turkish adventure back in 2019. The former Liverpool man is a cultured player who Brendan Rodgers waxed lyrical about when they worked together at Swansea. As talented as Caulker is, there's an argument Clarke's dogged defensive system is more important than the players who occupy his back three. That's not to dismiss the likes of Declan Gallagher, however, who has been brilliant since making his debut.The 'Prince Who Was Promised' was a mythical legend who was predicted to save the world in George RR Martin's Game of Thrones series but Scotland don't need that from the Chelsea kid anymore. The 23-year wait for a tournament has allowed for some breathing space. The 19-year-old is on the way back after a serious knee injury but Scotland don't need to rush him into the senior set-up. But Frank Lampard's prized pupil's incredible talent may prove too much to ignore in the coming months. Roy Keane and a host of pundits waxed lyrical about his displays against Liverpool and Everton last season and that feels very much like only the beginning. If he becomes a Chelsea regular then he may well make the cut.The former Southampton man is turning heads with Aston Villa but the 25-year-old's major problem is Scotland don't need a left-back. The versatile defender has two caps at U19 level before switching his allegiances to England but his Three Lions call of duty hasn't extended beyond U21 level. Andy Robertson is entrenched as starter at left wing-back with Kieran Tierney ready to deputise as he enjoys playing as part of a back three. But with no disrepect to the likes of Andrew Considine, Barry Douglas or Aaron Hickey - Targett has real experience in the English Premier League. A name to watch but still an outsider.The free-scoring Aberdeen midfielder would love nothing more than to follow uncle Barry and star for his country. Anyone you speak to raves about Ferguson's work ethic and desire to get better every day, The 21-year-old is already one of the best players in the Premiership and appears primed to become a senior star for years to come. But a starting trio of Callum McGregor, Ryan Jack and John McGinn will be hard to dislodge. But if anyone will force their way in then it will be this man.There's Tartan Army diehards who would make a case that you should never ask a player twice to represent Scotland. Alex McLeish revealed the Southampton striker politely declined a formal invitation to represent the Dark Blues. Listen, there would obviously be an element of Scotland becoming more appealing by reaching a major tournament but Adams is a serious operator who has scored three goals in his last four games for the high-flying Saints. It may well be a case that Adams' chance to represent Scotland is gone but it would be remiss to hold it against Clarke or the player himself if he was asked again.

Arsenal Player Ratings vs Aston Villa: 2/10 duo Aubameyang...

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette struggled while the rest of the team was also poor as Arsenal lost 0-3 to Aston Villa at the Emirates Stadium.

It was Aston Villa who started the game brightly, with John McGinn netting within a minute after kick-off, only to see the goal get chalked off for offside in the build-up. The visitors got their deserved opener in the 25th minute, when Bukayo Saka, under pressure from Trezeguet, turned a Matt Targett cross into his own net.

Alexandre Lacazette ought to have equalised for Arsenal before half-time, but sent his header over the bar. Soon after the break, Trezeguet forced a save from Bernd Leno while Jack Grealish missed a great chance as well. Meanwhile, substitute Nicolas Pepe came close for Arsenal minutes after coming on.

However, it was Villa who got the next goal to effectively kill the contest, with summer signing Ollie Watkins heading home a Ross Barkley cross. The former Brentford man got his second of the night moments later, applying the finishing touches on a pass from Grealish to heap further misery on Arsenal.

Defeat at the Emirates.#ARSAVL 🔴 0-3 ⚫️ (FT)

— Arsenal (@Arsenal) November 8, 2020

It was a disappointing performance at home from Mikel Arteta’s men and here’s how we rated the performances of the Gunners’ stars on the night.

Bernd Leno: 5/10

The German international was let down by his defence big time on the night, and there was very little that he could have done to stop any of Villa’s goals. Did make a decent stop to deny Trezeguet in the second half. Cruel irony that Emi Martinez has more clean sheets in the Premier League at the Emirates this season (1) than Leno.

Rob Holding: 3/10

Preferred over David Luiz after his strong performance against Manchester United last weekend, the Englishman struggled to get to grips to the movement and sharp link-up play of Grealish and Barkley, who gave him the run-around all game long. Two of Villa’s goals on the night came from his side.

Gabriel Magalhaes: 3/10

While Gabriel has been one of Arsenal’s best players of the season so far, the Brazilian had a night to forget against the Villans. Found it difficult to deal with the brilliant Watkins throughout the game. Wasn’t his composed self while in possession either, with his distribution a let-down on occasion.

Kieran Tierney: 5/10

I’m quite certain that’s not a football skill 🤔#ARSAVL#StadiumAstro pic.twitter.com/PN4vXdYJuX

— Stadium Astro 😷 (@stadiumastro) November 8, 2020

Was Arsenal’s best player on the night, although it is nothing to shout about. Got forward and played some enticing crosses into the box. But, was found wanting at the back as he had trouble containing the dynamic Aston Villa attackers. An early comical gaffe on the ball almost ended up hurting his team.

Hector Bellerin: 3/10

The Spaniard had some positive moments in the first half in terms of his attacking play. But, he was given a torrid time by Grealish and the overlapping Matt Targett all game long. Suspect positioning, lack of awareness allowed the Villa attackers to make the most.

Thomas Partey: 5/10

Thomas Partey was the only Arsenal player to produce a shot on target in the first half against Aston Villa. https://t.co/NRGw5pFBnQ

— Squawka Football (@Squawka) November 8, 2020

Started well in the middle of the park, playing some eye-catching cross-field passes into Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Picked up a thigh injury and struggled from thereon, before being taken off at half-time.

Mohamed Elneny: 4/10

Handed a starting berth ahead of the likes of Joe Willock and Granit Xhaka after his all-action performance against Manchester United, Elneny was a shadow of himself from last weekend. Found it tough to break up play, more so following Partey’s submission, while he wasn’t progressive and forward-thinking enough with his distribution.

Bukayo Saka: 2/10

A rare off night for the teenage starlet, who lost Trezeguet in the lead-up to Villa’s opener, before sticking his leg out to score an own goal. Showed some improvement after the half-time break but wasn’t able to alter the course of the game.

Willian: 2/10

Preferred over Nicolas Pepe once again on the right flank, the Brazilian struggled to get going on the night. Slowed things down when in possession way too often, while hardly showing any intent to take opponents on. Had a chance in the second half but dragged his effort wide. Hooked off after the hour-mark.

Alexandre Lacazette: 2/10

Alexandre Lacazette had fewer touches (9) than any other player on the pitch in the first half at the Emirates and won 0/3 contested duels.

And missed *that* chance. 😬 pic.twitter.com/kIanf0Wlun

— Squawka Football (@Squawka) November 8, 2020

Should have pulled Arsenal level before half-time, but sent his header well over from a very good position. Conceded possession a tad too easily at times, while his movement and running wasn’t always sharp either. Has now gone six games without a goal in all competitions, with his last coming in September.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang: 2/10

Another disappointing outing for the Arsenal captain, who was pretty much taken out of the game by some good defensive work by Matty Cash and Trezeguet. Hardly had a sniff at goal throughout the night, made zero dribbles, had zero shots on goal. With him being ineffective on the left and Lacazette struggling, perhaps it’s time for Arsenal to play him through the centre.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang failed to take a single shot today, the third time he has done so in a Premier League game this season.

He has scored just 2 goals in 717 league minutes this season. 🧐 pic.twitter.com/u0640X2rl4

— Statman Dave (@StatmanDave) November 8, 2020

Substitutes

Dani Ceballos: 3/10

Sent on for the injured Partey at half-time. Made a goal-line clearance, which was as good as it got for the Real Madrid loanee. Had little to no impact on the creative side of things.

Eddie Nketiah: 3/10

Replaced Lacazette for the final thirty minutes or so. Hardly did anything of note during this cameo.

Nicolas Pepe: 5/10

Came on for Willian a little after the hour mark. Was bright in his short time on the field. Missed narrowly with a curling effort after cutting in from the right flank.

Our Transfers, Captains, and Starting 11s for the week!

WALSH ON WILDCARD

TRANSFERS:

OUT: wildcard

IN: wildcard

Sucks to not have a fun WC pod...but couldn't let that get in the way of keeping my diabolical team for this gameweek.

Waking up on Friday and seeing the news around town the writing was on the wall. A couple hours later and the team sort of picked itself. Obviously this weekend has a high likelihood of being a complete mess after the IB and so I tried to choose players with the medium/long term in mind.

GK:

Ryan (cry)

Sticking with Ryan here and trying to do that thing where I just keep the GK instead of fuck off after being bad to chase points from someone who is "better" only to see Ryan start to bank points.

Not keen on shooting myself in the foot here, and although Brighton aren't set up to defend and park...what team with a 4.5 gk does?

DEF:

Lamptea (cry)

Cheap defense incoming.

Doubling up on defense against my team...vomit. Surely this won't come off, but the small boy attacks a lot as long as he figures out how to stay fit is a decent shout for attacking points in any game he starts. Whether he is still standing past 60...another question entirely. Feels like good value, though, and a solid attacking defender so glad to be in on the party if not a little late to it after he's risen twice.

Dallas (WOL)

Not the biggest feels for cleans from Leeds basically ever but he's another good attacking fullback kinda quasi OOP guy with good underlying stats so we'll give him a shot. Don't really know shit about anything with who has a good defense yet so trying to just spread it around and see what sticks. Rotate them and play fixtures. At least he's fun and it'll be more fun to own a Leeds player from now on watching their games. Ayling was in consideration but Dallas seems a bit better stats and shit so just going with that.

Konsa (lei)

Great fixture, amazing actual unreal fixture so clean prob good here. I was looking at Targett but I hate him and he doesn't attack so Konsa seemed a better shout from pod partner when we were discussing it. Having a share of Villa defense seems good as they look good and he's pretty dangerous on set pieces. Another cheap rotational cog who will go in and out of the xi.

MID:

Pulisic (SOU)

Biggest punt in the xi the American is back in. Playing around and talking to pod partner solidified just as a pick that could be a big gainer for me on WC here. We know what he does and now that he is allegedly fit he should go back to shitting points as per. Direct and always in dangerous positions with ridiculous stats he performs like a double digit player not like an 8.3m one. Hoping he can be good in spite of Franklin. Seems like a good fixture for him getting to attack Soton's left side....let's go.

Salah & Mane (eve)

Mo remains and is joined by friend Mane. Pretty straightforward here - Mane looked really good every game so far and Mo is Mo. In a season with many questions and few answers, this is a dead cert. Great players on the best team. Dunno what in hell will happen against Everton but this isn't a short term play.

Son (WHU)

Not completely over the moon in love with this pick but it is.....obvious. Son always performs in FPL no matter who the manager is or what the situation of life is. When he's fit, he gets points. Obviously he's not gonna score 4 and hit triple returns often, but he's just a great player. Being utilized sorta kinda OOP to boot, adding Bale soon will only make them better. At 9m he seems a safe pair of hands.

Sterling (ARS)

Notice a theme here? 5 known quantities and huge dongers in midfield. I know I'm missing out on some value picks in the 6-7m range, but I feel fine with that. City are a bit upside down world at the moment but Raz is still Raz. Can hat on any given week, just like the other four midfielders in my team currently. I still back Pep to get them right and Raz can score goals even when they're wrong. A steady great guy who I know what I'll get.

FWD:

Calvert-Lewin (LIV)

DCL stays. Obvious monster, great guy. Tough fixture but whatevs. Everton going well and fortunate to have only one game per week with Europe starting up this week. Should keep being good.

Brewster (FUL)

There's certainly a chance he doesn't start but I'll run that risk. As you all know I'm big on Brewster as a starter and structured my WC team as such. If he falls on his face after a month or so I'll just double swap him out with one of my mids for a couple of new friends. If not and he looks like he'll tick, then I can keep my massive huge midfield and it'll be so great and fun.

BENCH:

Steele, Walker-Peters, Fredericks, Davis

KWP and Fredericks make up the rest of my defensive five rotation.

KWP is kinda playing wing and Fredericks was looking good with good attacking stats and such. West Ham look good so having a piece there seems good for the long term...and I'm a little bit sorta kinda nervous about Masuaku long term keeping his place.

Soton are a good team, and so just feels fine-ish to get him. I was looking at Ward...but fuck me Joel Ward like. If I had a better idea who was starting CB for us I probably would've gone there as KWP is by far my least favorite of the five I am on but I can see that he's a reasonable FPL pick and good rotational piece.

I should be able to find 3 from these 5 each week without too much of an issue, so we'll see how it goes. I honestly can't remember the last time I did this....maybe 3 or 4 years ago. Throwback to the old days of 5x4.5 defense here we go.

Davis is just a ded guy out there at 4.4m last on the bench. Not too big of a deal to carry a blank player to me and he is low key the only other fit striker on the Villa books so if something happens to Watkins...you never know.

CAP:

Pulisic (SOU)

Time to punt.

Pod partner gave me the courage and in a week where there is no standout that I like why not punt and have fun? I've got myself covered with the other guys, mostly, anyways so we'll see how it goes. Hopefully he starts :D

ALON

TRANSFERS:

OUT: De Bruyne

IN: Grealish

Short term plan is turning Kev, Foden, and VVD to Jack (done), Mo, and another semi-premium defender I feel confident holding long term maybe Semedo or something like that.

I was thinking of prepping for a Werner to Kun move but I don’t see that as being just one week away so I might have time there before jumping on Kun.

I really wanted to have 2 FT next week after this clusterfuck week followed by UCL so here I am... Jack has a fantastic fixture Leicester are really a fucked up mess with all their injuries and Jack / Villa are flying. His move to LW and the upgrades throughout the team really has me buzzing for him as a FPL asset. Following it.

GK:

Martinez (lei)

Great fixture. Leicester are an aforementioned fucking disaster right now and very injured and Villa are looking great. Very cleanable come on you Villains.

DEF:

Lamptey (cry)

Good clean fixture but the young boy is still knocked and I’m worried about his health. Come on Tariq really need to trust you going forwards.

van Dijk and Alexander-Arnold (eve)

Not expecting a clean here but also could be a grindy 0-0. Ancelotti has done well vs. the reds last couple years so I don’t feel great about it but also still VVD and Trent are the best so... ya know... not all bad.

MID:

Sterling and Foden (ARS)

Kev out in theory makes Foden more likely to start? I can hope at least...

Raz is great I’m not worried about him, and while Arsenal are doing better defensively it’s still a big ask to shut this City side down. Though no Kev and no #9 is troublesome for City.

Grealish (lei)

My thoughts are above in the transfer section but yeah Jack is putting up humongous superstar numbers and looking it too up there at LW. Keep it up Jack. Could be a guy I keep all season.

Rodriguez (LIV)

Obviously really tough matchup but Hamez is just unbelievable so you set and forget him. Also a lot better to be at Goodison instead of Anfield so I could see Everton getting something and if they do then that usually goes through Hamez.

FWD:

Calvert-Lewin (LIV)

DCL is great doesn’t really require words at this point.

Wood (wba)

Wood to Brewster was definitely in my thoughts this week but I think you cannot ever transfer out an attacker playing against West Brom or Fulham this season that’s just pure blasphemy.

Werner (SOU)

Two weeks of not following shit definitely made me feel better about owning Timo then before. Chelsea are getting their superstar wingers back soon and they’ll be way too much firepower for most teams in the league to handle. On paper this should be a great fixture for pace in behind Southampton’s really shitty defenders and high line. Come on Timo.

CAP:

Werner (SOU)

Cap gave me a headache this week and it came down to a coinflip between Jack and Timo.

I honestly think Jack is probably a little more likely to get any return like an assist or even a clean point+assist type of little ding dong but I think Timo is more likely to haul points in what could be a very back and forth high scoring match.

Brace+ type of haul is what I’m gunning for with my cap soooo yeah here we go. Sorry to the guy who asked on Friday My Life about capping Timo... Here I am.

Bristol City 0-3 Aston Villa: Bertrand Traore scores on debut

Bertrand Traore’s goal was his first in English football since March 2016 when he netted for Chelsea against Stoke

Bertrand Traore has been backed to be an Aston Villa success by assistant boss John Terry after a brilliant goal on his debut.

Villa beat Bristol City to set up a Carabao Cup fourth-round tie with Stoke City next week.

Anwar El Ghazi put Villa ahead after good work by Keinan Davis and Traore hit a wonderful side-footed volley before Ollie Watkins added a third.

“It was important for him [Traore] to get off to a great start,” said Terry.

Traore – who was Terry’s team-mate at Chelsea in 2015-16 – joined Villa for £17m from French side Lyon last week.

“He hasn’t played in a while. So to get the goal and top it off was good,” Terry said.

“He was someone at Chelsea who was very hungry. He went away from the Premier League but he’s always had that desire to come back and prove himself.

“He’s got that opportunity now at Aston Villa and personally and professionally we’re delighted to have him.”

The Burkina Faso forward could take some of the pressure off Villa captain Jack Grealish, who was last season’s top scorer in the Premier League with eight.

“He can isolate people in one-on-one situations and we have that on the other side with Jack as well,” said Terry.

“That might free Jack up as well if we can play very quickly during games.”

Dean Smith’s side, who lost last season’s final to Manchester City, were good value for their win.

They could have won by more and should have taken the lead earlier. Davis and El Ghazi were both denied by a good Max O’Leary double save in the first half.

City did have some chances, with Antoine Semenyo’s powerful shot saved by Jed Steer.

City boss Dean Holden said: “We gave ourselves a mountain to climb with those two goals in the first 15 minutes.

“We had a big chance at 2-0 and if that goes in who knows? These are the fine margins in these type of games.

“My full focus now is on Sheffield Wednesday on Sunday and I’m not going to get too down with this.”

Bristol City 0-3 Aston Villa: Bertrand Traore scores on debut

Bertrand Traore’s goal was his first in English football since March 2016 when he netted for Chelsea against Stoke

Bertrand Traore has been backed to be an Aston Villa success by assistant boss John Terry after a brilliant goal on his debut.

Villa beat Bristol City to set up a Carabao Cup fourth-round tie with Stoke City next week.

Anwar El Ghazi put Villa ahead after good work by Keinan Davis and Traore hit a wonderful side-footed volley before Ollie Watkins added a third.

“It was important for him [Traore] to get off to a great start,” said Terry.

Traore – who was Terry’s team-mate at Chelsea in 2015-16 – joined Villa for £17m from French side Lyon last week.

“He hasn’t played in a while. So to get the goal and top it off was good,” Terry said.

“He was someone at Chelsea who was very hungry. He went away from the Premier League but he’s always had that desire to come back and prove himself.

“He’s got that opportunity now at Aston Villa and personally and professionally we’re delighted to have him.”

The Burkina Faso forward could take some of the pressure off Villa captain Jack Grealish, who was last season’s top scorer in the Premier League with eight.

“He can isolate people in one-on-one situations and we have that on the other side with Jack as well,” said Terry.

“That might free Jack up as well if we can play very quickly during games.”

Dean Smith’s side, who lost last season’s final to Manchester City, were good value for their win.

They could have won by more and should have taken the lead earlier. Davis and El Ghazi were both denied by a good Max O’Leary double save in the first half.
