SACK TEN HAG! United BATTERED! West Ham 2-0 Manchester United Highlights

West Ham 2-0 Manchester United Highlights. Jarrod Bowen and Mohammed Kudus consigned makeshift Manchester United to another defeat as West Ham snatched a 2-0 victory at the London Stadium. England hopeful Bowen scored his 12th goal of the season and Ghana winger Kudus his seventh in 12 appearances as United were sent spinning to a 20th loss of 2023, their worst tally in 34 years. For 72 minutes two poor teams were cancelling each other out in a dreadful spectacle until Bowen broke the deadlock. And six minutes later Kudus added a second which, while flattering West Ham, condemned United to a 13th defeat in their last 26 matches.

bullet train/マリアビートル details ~

Hello!! I recently dug up the Bullet Train script (if you search it up, you should be able to find it relatively easily!! I'm not sure if it's completely reliable but it seems to be the first version) and listened to the soundtrack. (It's awesome, you should listen if you haven't already!!)

There's a lot of stuff here about マリアビートル, I hope you enjoy reading 🥳 (It's really ridiculous)

-- 1 ) LEMON'S CHILDHOOD // BACKGROUND(??)

I attached a photo for reference in the book!! :D (there's highlighter marks, I'm sorry) His backstory is tragic and aahh noo 🥹... I won't say much on it because we're all thinking the same thing. In the script, this is carried over when Lemon passes out because of the water. But apparently, in the final movie, this isn't shown a lot. In the book and movie, they aren't brothers and have a considerably colder relationship, so I can understand why the childhood scene in the cut is so much more wholesome. (Still supersuper cool though!!)

-- 2) "I'm forever blowing bubbles"

The original reason why this song was chosen for Bullet Train was because of Tangerine's West Ham United sticker (turns out, that's a football club). Hey!! But wait a minute!! There's a funny coincidence because Ladybug in the book was trying to become a football star. He has a quote that's like "my friend told me that someone like me could either become a footballer or a criminal, so I did both" and he says that his first crime was stealing a football.

The song delves into themes surrounding fortune as well!! I love their music selection 🙇‍♂️😤

-- 3) THREE ASSASSINS/グラスホッパー REFERENCES

Okay this part (in a way...) contains spoilers for Three Assassins, which is the first book of the "series"! ! The story revolves around a guy named Suzuki, who appears again in Bullet Train!! He kinda-sorta becomes friends with Ladybug and it's like 😊 they are so happy. To be completely honest, Suzuki's a bit traumatised but so is Ladybug, right?? Lovely friendship!!

It's also so interesting that he's reading a hotel buffet menu because his wife used to love eating at buffets and he adopted the habit of hoarding all the food as well. He's on the train to meet with his dead wife's family (which was extremely difficult for him after her passing).

-- 4) BULLET TRAIN REFERENCES IN THE MANTIS/AX

There's this other book in the series called The Mantis or AX for the Japanese version. This one isn't talked about a lot but if you like family stories, this book is so so soo good. It really pulled at my heartstrings when I first read it but I can't say too much without spoiling everything. Anyway, it makes a few references to Bullet Train and literally starts with the main character, Kabuto (an assassin), having a flashback to talking to Tangerine and Lemon during one of his missions, where they had the same target so they worked together. The Twins really respect him, actually, but find it funny that he's so careful around his wife (YES KABUTO, AN ASSASSIN, HAS A WIFE). Some characters reappear so.. :")) yay!!

-- 5) 777

Ladybug comes back!! He comes back in the latest book in the series; 777. So far, the Japanese reviews have been pretty positive and I think there's an English translation coming in November!! 🥳 I like how the title is 777; 7 like 7 tails in Nanao (七尾), car 7, his favourite number is 7 (if I recall correctly), 7 the "lucky number".

-- 6) THIS GUY

No one asked but I heavily dislike the Prince in the book. (to be honest, who doesn't...) He's just mean for no reason and likes ruining people's lives, makes fun of poor Ladybug (this really isn't that bad compared to the other stuff he does) and yeah, the list goes on. Also apparently he (heavily) tortures other schoolmates and it's not like he gets paid for it like the Twins or the other guys. He just does it for fun?? OK!! The premise of his character is amazing and it's great to see a villain that's actually just straight evil but since he's designed that way, we are validated when hating him ww. He talks about politics as well for some reason... keeps referencing historical tragedies.... man.

-- 7) ASAGAO/THE PUSHER

The Pusher is back too!! Weee~ (not really)

In the movie, it seems as though this entire part got cut out which, like, is reasonable. I attached a photo from the Grasshopper (2015) movie for reference hahaha. The guy in the black suit is the Pusher!! Yeah, he pushes people!! (not in the fun way!!)

He is in charge of protecting Wataru from the Prince's guy, although he's reluctant at first. He's obsessed with bugs and stuff. Whenever he opens his mouth, it's probably going to be about bugs. The Pusher's also strangely poetic. Maybe it's because he likes old bands like the Rolling stones? Oh!! And he gets mentioned in The Mantis.

And speaking of the Kimura family, Yuichi Kimura says something very true and it's:

"who do they gotta make the train toilets so nasty"

-- 8) LADYBUG IS COOL

This is very much a fact. In Mariabeetle, he gets kidnapped when he's 8 years old because he gets mistaken for a rich kid (after he lost a bet with his wealthy friend and had to wear his "rich person backpack"), then in the place he's being held captive, he escapes by HIMSELF since his dad isn't able to give the guys money for his son back (since they took the wrong person!!). But heyy he's resourceful and smart.

AND guess what?? He gets traumatised because there was this other boy being held but Ladybug didn't save him and it's haunted him ever since. This is also one of the reasons why he ends up helping the Prince even though he knows it won't do him any good.

Obviously, it gets worse from there. He makes it back to his family and they're pretty happy. Unfortunately, they're far from rich and Ladybug has to study extremely hard to get into a college. Spoiler alert, he doesn't. THE THING IS!! He studied so hard!! It's just that during his exam, some kid sneezed on his paper and he wiped it, smudging all his work and even his name!! Nanao! No!!

-- 9) TANGERINE BOOK RECS

To the Lighthouse - Virginia Woolf

"We perished, each alone."

-> He really loves that quote. A lot. Also he's a Virginia Woolf fan!!

2. Forbidden Colours - Yukio Mishima

-> He's also a Yukio Mishima fan... I wonder if he's ever read "The Sound of Waves". What would he think about it? Hahaha this will keep me up at night 😅 (<- SLANTED EMOJI!!)

3. The Sailor who Fell from Grace with the Sea - Yukio Mishima

-> To talk about Article 41 of the Penal Code of Japan. (Mr Kotaro Isaka, the author, studied law, by the way!! It's interesting!!) However, here, Tangerine quotes Mishima on Article 41 ;)

4. Hemingway and Faulkner

-> Actually it's a collection so it's not really a book recommendation but these two people are real - Ernst Hemingway (the Old Man and the Sea guy) and William Faulkner. They didn't really get along, by the way, and even though they respected the other's work, they criticised more than praised. Sounds like the Twins.

5. Demons - Fyodor Dostoevsky

-> "Crime is no longer insanity, but simply common sense, almost a duty; anyway, a gallant protest."

I think the author is a heavy Fyodor Dostoevsky fan, just because he also referenced his works in Three Assassins.

6. Crime and Punishment ;D

-> "Science now tells us, love yourself before all men, for everything in the world relies on self-interest."

(CONT'D) yeahh this book was referenced in Three Assassins and one of the characters is obsessed with it. Glad to see that Tangerine is a fan too hahahaha.

-- 10) LEMON IS AWESOME

Opinionated text here but Lemon is plain awesome.

"Between the principal's name and Doraemon's gadgets, it was blindingly obvious which one was more important."

To each their own and I know he's a criminal but he seems like he has no enemies. Sounds very wholesome.

-- 11) HORNET THE MVP

She's in Three Assassins AND the Mantis!! Hypercool. In both books, the Hornet is a team of a male and a female. The female is eliminated (this word choice ww) by Ladybug but the male is still up and kicking, though Ladybug feels bad about it. They use poison needles, like the movie, but they trigger anaphylaxis, which is a really dangerous allergic reaction that causes body shocks.

-- 12) SUZUKI: PHILOSOPHER AND ECONOMIST

"If people knew that they might be killed by someone tomorrow, economic activity would grind to a halt."

... well 😅 take from that what you will.

(that's Suzuki!!)

Cela dit... that's all.... so long, I'm sorry. But thank you so much if you read until the end!! I hope you at least found it a bit entertaining!! :"))

How Ève Périsset adapted perfectly to Chelsea

The first Frenchwoman in history to play for Chelsea, the 27-year-old defender finds PSG this Thursday evening in the Champions League, to testify to her good adaptation to England

Entering the legend of Les Bleues on July 23, by transforming with aplomb the penalty of victory during the quarter-final of the suffocating Euro against the Netherlands in Rotherham (1-0 ap) , Ève Périsset now wants to write that of the Blues.

After going around the question in France, playing successively for OL (2009-2016), PSG (2016-2020) and Bordeaux (2020-2022), the 27-year-old defender dared to leave her zone. of comfort by signing for Chelsea in early June, a first for a French player. While she will find PSG this Thursday evening at Stamford Bridge, in a final for first place in Group A of the Champions League, Périsset quickly fell in love with her new life in London.

The adventure however began like a whirlwind, since she had not even had time to unpack her boxes in London, mid-August, that she was already going on tour in the United States. Barely returned to England, Périsset then joined the selection. “After two and a half weeks of post-Euro holidays, the recovery was sporty, that's clear (laughs) . But since mid-September, I found my marks, I settled in my house, ten minutes by car from the Cobham training center (south-west of London) ”, she relates, little disturbed. by the weather but who sometimes feels the "lack of French bread" .

Dithyrambic about the evolution of women's football in England (see L'Equipe of October 19), highlighting an "extraordinary enthusiasm" , a "very homogeneous level" and "top infrastructure, with real billiards everywhere" , Périsset plunged into this new bath all of a sudden. “The first home game against Tottenham, in a friendly, I took an ankle sole, with stitches in the key. It was a welcome message to Anglet Erre”, she laughs. “Then we were supposed to play our first in the Championship at Stamford Bridge, against West Ham, but the game was postponed due to the death of the queen (September 8). It was a very special time, the whole country was in mourning, with the face of Elizabeth II everywhere. I really understood where I was, ” continues the new Chelsea player.

Not always a starter at the start, his place in the eleven is now almost assured

Close to the Czech Katerina Svitkova, who arrived at the same time as her, the Frenchwoman knew how to be accepted despite the language barrier, overcoming the shyness that could have slowed her down when she started out as a pro: "In the locker room, they listen to French music, including Djadja by Aya Nakamura, so I sang that for my hazing. I did 10 seconds on my own, then the whole team came with me. »

Not always a starter at the start, Périsset's place in the eleven is almost assured now, while she alternates between the right side of the defense, and a right axial position when Chelsea play five in defense. The staff are waiting for her progress in English so that she can completely free herself, but immediately flashed on her fighting qualities. Admirer of coach Emma Hayes, in place for ten years, an "extraordinary character, always with a smile and with a real touch on the game" , Eve the Londoner has found her new Garden of Eden

Man Utd players felt Cristiano Ronaldo was subjected to 'unnecessary humiliation' by Erik ten Hag as details of harsh dressing room punishment come to light after manager's sacking

WHAT HAPPENED? Ten Hag was dismissed from his position as head coach at Old Trafford in the wake of the Red Devils’ 2-1 defeat to West Ham on Sunday. It was hardly a shock, with United sitting 14th in the Premier League, and it wasn’t just on the pitch where the Dutchman struggled. A new report by ESPN details the 54-year-old’s struggles connecting with his players as they highlight an incident…

Additionally, Lewis Dunk, Joe Gomez, and Ivan Toney are among the selected players.

Given their recent record in major tournaments and the exceptional form of attacking stars Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham, Bukayo Saka, Cole Palmer, and Phil Foden this season, England is considered one of the favourites to lift the trophy on July 14.

Gareth Southgate’s decision to include younger players like Kobbie Mainoo and Adam Wharton signifies a strategic shift towards nurturing emerging talents. This approach is aimed at injecting fresh energy and innovation into the squad, which could prove crucial in high-stakes matches. Mainoo, who has been a standout performer for Manchester United’s youth team, brings a blend of creativity and technical skill to the midfield.

Eberechi Eze’s selection is also noteworthy. The Crystal Palace forward has consistently impressed with his dribbling skills and ability to create scoring opportunities.

Analyzing England's High-Profile Omissions for FIFA World Cup 2026

The exclusion of high-profile players such as James Maddison, Jack Grealish, and the injured Harry Maguire has been one of the most talked-about aspects of Southgate’s squad announcement. James Maddison, who has been in impressive form for Leicester City, was expected by many to be a key player for England. However, Southgate’s decision to leave him out suggests a preference for players who can offer more versatility and fit into his tactical plans more seamlessly.

Jack Grealish, known for his creativity and flair, is another surprising omission. Despite his performances for Manchester City, Southgate has opted for a different set of attacking players. Perhaps indicating a shift towards a more dynamic and versatile forward line. Grealish’s exclusion highlights the fierce competition for places in England’s attacking setup. Where players like Phil Foden, Bukayo Saka, and Eberechi Eze have emerged as key figures.

Harry Maguire’s injury has ruled him out of the squad. But his absence also reflects the changing dynamics of England’s defence. With the inclusion of younger defenders like Adam Wharton and established players like Joe Gomez and Lewis Dunk. Southgate appears to be building a backline that combines experience with youthful energy.

The exclusion of Marcus Rashford, Jordan Henderson, and Ben Chilwell from the training squad further underscores Southgate’s bold approach. Rashford’s inconsistent form, Henderson’s move to a less competitive league, and Chilwell’s injury issues have all contributed to their omission. These decisions, while controversial, highlight Southgate’s commitment to selecting players based on current form and fitness.

Gareth Southgate's Vision and Team Dynamics for FIFA World Cup 2026

Gareth Southgate’s tactical vision for the 2026 World Cup focuses on creating a cohesive and adaptable team. His emphasis on squad depth and versatility is evident in his selection choices. Aiming to build a team capable of responding to various tactical challenges. Southgate’s approach involves blending experienced campaigners with fresh talent, ensuring a balanced squad ready for any scenario.

The inclusion of players like Lewis Dunk, Joe Gomez, and Ivan Toney highlights Southgate’s focus. On maintaining a solid defensive foundation while having the flexibility to switch tactics when needed. Dunk and Gomez bring experience and composure to the backline. While Toney’s physical presence and goal-scoring ability add a different dimension to the attack.

The competition for places within the squad has been created. A healthy environment where players push each other to perform at their best. This internal competition ensures that complacency is kept at bay. And every player remains focused and ready to contribute when called upon. Southgate’s pragmatic approach and emphasis on team dynamics position England well for the challenges of the World Cup.

A fantastic article. Worthy of journalism of the year award in my humble opinion.

—————

hi - sport like life has its ups and downs - for united fans 2023/24 was the biggest roller coaster of a season that fans of my vintage (58 years of supporting) have ever experienced

in the summer of '23 those that left united included de gea and fred - those that arrived included mount, hojlund, amrabat, onana and old red evans - onana was the direct replacement for de gea - de gea was an old style keeper who made great saves but wasn't rated as being able to play out with his feet - onana was trumpeted as excelling as a footballing keeper - manager ten hag talked of playing on the front foot - hojlund was an exciting young striker - it all sounded quite exciting though pre season games were a tad underwhelming - the proposed take over was rumbling in the background and was finally resolved in january '24

united kicked off with a scrappy home win over wolves who should have had a late penalty after a reckless challenge by onana - onana made a poor first impression in early games as he didn't come over as a great shot stopper - defeat at tottenham was followed by a home game to forest where united found themselves 2 down after 4 minutes - united fought back to win 3 - 2 but the defensive concerns were there - bayern scored 4 and galatasaray 3 as united made a disastrous start in the champions league - both arsenal and brighton also hit 3 as united mooched around in mid table mediocrity - sancho was 'excommunicated' for insubordination and martinez disappeared for another foot operation - a 3rd successive home league defeat was only averted by 2 injury time goals by mctominay against brentford

as autumn morphed into winter 22/23's 30 goal hero rashford had scored just once - hojlund hadn't scored any - newcastle gained revenge for the carabao cup final by dumping out united at old trafford and in the league city cruised to 3 points and 3 goals - the champions league provided no comfort

nothing more typified united than 2 home games in december - chelsea were beaten as a mctominay double capped a vibrant display - a few days later bournemouth strolled to a 3 goal win in what was arguably the worst united showing i have had the misfortune to witness - then after yet another comeback win at home to villa united fell at forest - up and down, up and down - finishing bottom of their champions league group united could put their passports away for another year - as we raised a toast to the new year we could always hope for a cup run

united seemed revived in the early months of '24 - cup banana skins were safely negotiated and 4 league games were won in a row - the highlight was west ham at old trafford where young guns hojlund, mainoo and garnacho posed for an iconic photo on the back of a 3 - 0 win - united were 6th with forward momentum - then suddenly form disappeared and momentum came to a dead stop

fulham grabbed a last minute winner at OT which triggered a run of 1 win in 6 - united blew 4 points by conceding injury time goals at brentford and chelsea - in the midst of this liverpool came to old trafford in the cup to finish united's season off - liverpool were riding high at the time and were clearly the better team but somehow united equalised late on to force extra time and in the 120th minute fashioned a thrilling winner from amad - we didn't know it but this was the start of liverpools gradual fading away from the battle for honours

injury hit united were now in the semi finals and faced coventry - united found themselves 3 up with 20 minutes left but contrived to completely squander the advantage as the match moved into extra time - united's world came crashing down when they conceded the winner with the last kick of the game - all was lost and united's followers sat in stunned silence as they tried to understand what they had witnessed - then came the miracle - VAR - the eye in the sky judged that there was a marginal offside and the goal was disallowed - a short time later united won a penalty shoot out but drained reds hardly felt like celebrating

united had 6 league games to play before the cup final - the nadir was a 4 goal beating at crystal palace but the last 2 were won as united trailed in 8th to cap a poor league season - it was ironic that united were about to play city in a replay of last season's cup final in the year when the FA decided to scrap replays altogether

on cup final day most of united's squad were fit for selection - city were champions again and very few pundits gave united much of a chance - yet on the day united were up for the fight - defensively strong, tactically adept and quick on the break united led 2 - 0 at half time - city pressed in the 2nd half but united held on for a famous win which means the europa league and thursday night footy at OT - big cheer everyone

a few statistics to mull over - united were involved in 5 games that ended 4 - 3 - they conceded at least 3 in another 9 games - 14 games and over 40 goals conceded - clearly not defensively secure - they conceded 2 more than they scored and lost 14 league games -  a major explanation might be that of united's defence only onana and dalot played more than 30 games - the maximum the rest played was in the high teens - of the left backs shaw started 12 and malacia none - united were involved in just one goalless draw (Liverpool away)

up front 58 league goals is not a recipe for success - rashford had a poor season scoring just 7 as opposed to last years 30 - hojlund showed promise but could do with a bit of support - it didn't come from the departing martial who made just 5 starts and 1 goal

worthy of praise are dalot, fernandes, garnacho and mainoo who looks destined for a stellar career - it promises to be a busy summer of ins and outs as sir jim ratcliffe's lieutenants prepare for their first transfer window

one issue that has been resolved is that ten hag will continue as manager - INEOS were perfectly entitled to conduct a season review - Ten hag was appointed by the previous regime and INEOS may have had another manager in mind but in the end despite unfounded press reports Ten Hag has been retained - for what it is worth this correspondent is pleased - changing manager every 2 or 3 years does not bring success - Ten hag and INEOS working together might just be a winning combination

bye

UN Security Council Ceasefire Resolution Adopted

The UN Security Council has adopted resolution 2735, addressing a proposed ceasefire and hostage deal between Israel and Hamas. The UK's Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador Barbara Woodward, delivered a compelling statement following the vote. This resolution marks a significant step towards ending the ongoing conflict and alleviating the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.  

A Step Towards Peace

The Resolution and Its Implications Resolution 2735, recently adopted by the UN Security Council, represents a crucial effort to cease hostilities between Israel and Hamas and facilitate the release of hostages. This move comes in response to the ongoing conflict that has caused immense suffering and devastation. The UK has been a vocal advocate for this resolution, seeing it as a pathway to lasting peace and stability in the region.

Flickr.   UK’s Support and Diplomatic Efforts Ambassador Barbara Woodward's statement underscored the UK's steadfast support for the resolution. She emphasized that the deal on the table is essential for: - Ending the conflict that began with the attacks on 7th October. - Facilitating the release of hostages. - Scaling up humanitarian aid in Gaza. Woodward called on all parties involved to seize this opportunity to move towards a sustainable peace that ensures security for both Israelis and Palestinians.   Key Points of Resolution 2735 Key Aspect Description Ceasefire Immediate cessation of hostilities between Israel and Hamas Hostage Release Terms for the release of hostages held by Hamas Humanitarian Aid Significant increase in aid to Gaza Diplomatic Efforts Recognition of efforts by Qatar, Egypt, and the US Two-State Solution Commitment to a credible pathway towards a two-state solution

Humanitarian Crisis in Gaza

The Dire Situation The situation in Gaza remains catastrophic, with far too many lives lost and a desperate need for humanitarian assistance. The resolution calls for: - Opening all border crossings to allow the flow of aid. - Ensuring the minimum operating requirements for the UN and international humanitarian organisations. - Rapidly increasing humanitarian aid throughout the Gaza Strip. The UK applauds the diplomatic efforts of Qatar, Egypt, and the United States in negotiating this deal. With Israel's acceptance, the focus now shifts to Hamas, urging them to agree to the terms and end the suffering of the Palestinian people and the hostages.   Broader Context and Long-Term Goals The UK remains committed to supporting a credible and irreversible pathway towards a two-state solution. This solution envisions Israel and Palestine living side-by-side in peace, ensuring security for both nations and the broader region. Key elements of this vision include: - Hamas no longer controlling Gaza. - International support for the Palestinian Authority to resume governance and security responsibilities across the West Bank and Gaza. The UK stands ready to support these efforts, recognizing the need for a comprehensive approach to achieve lasting peace.

Sports Venue and Event Management

Entry 1 - Sustainability practise of a sports stadium 

The sustainable practises of sports stadiums can be described as the development which “minimizes the damage to the natural and social environment and maximizes the efficient use of stadiums” (Zhu et al., 2020, p. 3). An excellent example of a stadium demonstrating sustainability is Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the United Kingdom. The club decision to sing up to the ‘United Nations Race to Zero campaign’ has seen the implementation of ‘100%’ renewable energy supply and the addition of single-use plastic reduction to drive waste reduction (E.ON, 2022).

Furthermore, the tactical positioning of large-scaled stadiums as community facilitates after sporting events assists the value proposition of expending emissions. Whilst addressing the multiple environmental sustainability categories such as materials, energy and new design and construction to create multi-purpose stadiums can assist with the overall sustainability outcomes of a stadium (Francis et al., 2023). An exceptional example of sustainability practises being demonstrated by stadiums is the Olympic Park Stadium situated in East London. The innovative arena was re-purposed after the 2012 (London) Olympics and became the home stadium to West Ham United. The Olympic Park Stadiums unique design elements saw the central structure built in the shape of bowl which was positioned beneath the ground. This minimised the need for external construction materials reducing emissions. Additionally, during this construction period 800,000 tonnes of soil was excavated and re-used across Olympic Park (Climate Home News, 2012).

Chard & Mallen (2013) highlight that numerous sports stadiums are introducing environmental programs via installation energy efficient lighting and automation systems to reduce energy usage. Notable actions to reduce energy usage was demonstrated via solar roof panels consisting of semitransparent materials allowing the transmission of natural light into the stadium. The introduction of these panels saved over 20% of annual energy costs. Likewise, to the ground-breaking stadium in Amsterdam fulfilling its sustainability endeavours is the Amsterdam Area home to Dutch Football side Ajax. The stadiums implementation of wind turbines, 4,200 solar panels and an energy storage system powered by second-hand batteries from electric cars. Further methods of sustainability at the Amsterdam Arena is presented via the stadiums rooftop filtration system used to water the pitch and can store residual heat used to ensure frost during the winter months is minimised. Both these methods of sustainability go towards the reduction in energy usage highlighting the multiple ways the stadium practises sustainability (Football Ground Guide, 2024).
