Fans react as Aston Villa make decision on Conor Hourihane
| null | null |

Aston Villa have fans taken to social networking site Twitter to express their reactions after hearing Conor Hourihane could be offloaded this month.
Football Insider reported yesterday that Villa are considering the option of letting the midfielder leave this month.
The same publication is now reporting now that Championship club Swansea City are looking to sign him on loan for the rest of the season.
A lot of Villa fans are not happy with the club’s decision. Here are some of the selected tweets:
Awful. Unless we have a better player coming in in that midfield role, leaves us criminally short should McGinn or Luiz get a knock. — John McGod7 (@JMcgod7) January 14, 2021
Think Jacob Ramsey has over taken him in the pecking order now tbh — Garin (@GW_94) January 14, 2021
Why are people crying? We need to look at the bench and see players that can change it up if needed.
Sadly that ain’t Hourihane.
Good servant to the club, but if we want to continue to improve as a team, we need to upgrade players like Hourihane.
No room for sentiment! — Steve AVFC (@stevejsimkins) January 14, 2021
If it means they are signing Olise or Buendia I am all for it. Contract is up at season's end and Conor can make a big impact somewhere – just not here in the PL. Given time and some space to run into he is a beast. — Son Lyme (@Son_Lyme) January 14, 2021
Out of contract I believe in the summer too and unlikely to be given a new contract. Shame as been a really reliable player with an eye for a goal/assist and makes the squad stronger with him in it — Mark Beales (@markpbeales) January 14, 2021
Torn on this. Love having him around for his attitude and FKs but he’s too good to wait around in the stiffs. Whatever happens he deserves for it to be on his terms. — Greg Moss 🛰 (@moneychimp) January 14, 2021

Hourihane, who is on £30k-per-week wages at Villa Park, has been an important player for the club for the past four years and played a crucial role when Villa got promoted to the Premier League.
Last season, he scored seven goals and provided five assists in all competitions as helped Villa stay in the Premier League.
However, he has dropped down the pecking order at the club following the arrivals of a galaxy of stars in the form of Ollie Watkins, Ross Barkley and Bertrand Traore.
He has just made five appearances in all competitions this season. Dean Smith has relied on the partnership of Douglas Luiz and John McGinn, while has been overlooked as an option in the attacking midfield roles.
The Republic of Ireland international has struggled for game time and could be a superb signing for the Swans. He has played in the Championship before and would add tremendous quality to the Swansea side.
Swansea are looking to sign a proven midfielder who has got plenty of experience, and Hourihane fits the bill.

Opinion: Arsenal should sanction midfielder's loan move to West Brom
| null | null |
sportslens.com
|
Arsenal midfielder Ainsley Maitland-Niles has been linked with a loan move to West Bromwich Albion.
According to respected journalist David Ornstein, the Baggies are ‘pushing hard’ to sign the 23-year-old for the rest of the season.
Another Premier League club are interested in securing the services of Maitland-Niles, although they would need to complete other business before making a move.
SL View
Maitland-Niles is undoubtedly a useful member of Arsenal’s squad, but he has struggled for game time in the Premier League this season.
He has started just five games in the top flight, and a temporary switch elsewhere would be beneficial.
West Brom are currently embroiled in a relegation battle, and manager Sam Allardyce is understandably searching for reinforcements.
However, the Gunners are believed to have reservations about sanctioning a move to a club who play a different style of football.
Those concerns should not be a factor, as Arsenal might actually benefit from having one of their players experience the tough side of the game.
Snobbery about ‘style of play’ is laughable from a club that is currently underperforming in the Premier League.
Maitland-Niles would be a solid addition to West Brom’s squad, and Arsenal would be well-advised to sanction the move.

Steve Bruce claims it's 'morally wrong' to carry on playing amid increasing Covid-19 outbreaks. After 112 positive tests in the EFL this week.

Steve Bruce claims it is 'morally wrong' to continue playing amid COVID-19 outbreaks
| null | null |
sportslens.com

Newcastle United manager, Steve Bruce, has said that it is ‘morally wrong’ to continue playing football amid COVID-19 outbreaks.
More than 60 games in England this season have been called off because of the pandemic.
Newcastle were the first team to have a Premier League match postponed this season.
Outbreaks at Derby County and Aston Villa mean that both sides will have to field U23 sides in the FA Cup.
This week the EFL has recorded an astonishing 112 COVID cases – a new record.
Villa, who host Liverpool tonight, have had to shut their training ground down after 14 COVID cases.
Derby will also be without all of their first-team squad and manager, Wayne Rooney.
Steve Bruce still has Jamal Lascelles and Allan Saint-Maximan recovering from a COVID-19 outbreak, six weeks ago.
“Financially its right to play on, but for me, morally, it’s probably wrong,” said Bruce.
“I understand people want to see a game of football but we are just as vulnerable as everybody else.
“The speed which it hit our club within hours of each other, it was quite incredible how it rips through you. It’s difficult to contain and stop and it leaves people sick.”
“It devalues the FA Cup”
Bruce’s Newcastle face Arsenal on Saturday and Bruce believes that ties should be postponed rather than going ahead.
The FA stressed in a letter to all clubs, last Friday, that if teams had 14 fit registered players than the game must go ahead.
Shrewsbury Town’s match was postponed against Southampton and they are now facing the possibility of forfeiting the tie.
“It devalues the FA Cup,” Bruce added. “We understand we are playing seven games in January, after seven in December, and the season has been squashed and there is no room for anything else.
“But to play weakened teams or youth teams – is that the way round it? Not for me.”
Shrewsbury vs Southampton remains to be the only third-round tie postponed out of 32 games.

Mikel Arteta raves about Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey
| null | null |
sportslens.com
|
Mikel Arteta has showered praise on midfielder Thomas Partey, suggesting his return to the side will be like a new signing in January.
Arsenal signed Partey in the summer transfer window for a fee of £45m, but the 27-year-old hasn’t featured much due to injuries.
The central defensive midfielder made only five appearances this season, including a man-of-the-match display in the 1-0 win against Manchester United back in November.
Partey has now returned to Arsenal training, and the Gunners boss is expecting him to deliver as Arsenal look to climb up the table.
Arteta has confirmed that Partey has not trained with the squad yet, but he could be in contention for the game against Newcastle United.
The Gunners boss has confessed that they have missed him. He has added that Partey is a player with ‘enormous’ talent, and that he brings something to the team.
Arteta feels that Partey can transform the side in the second half of the campaign.
“We are in January and I think he’s played two and a half games. That’s all and he was our main signing. So yeah. We’ve been missing him. He brings something different to the team, he’s a player with an enormous talent,” said Arteta, as quoted by Football London.
“But as well someone that can transform the team the way we want. It’s great if we can have him, keep him healthy and I think will contribute in a really positive way.”
A few weeks ago, Arsenal were fighting for survival, but the situation looks better now with three wins in a row.
The likes of Granit Xhaka and Mohamed Elneny have done well in recent games, but Partey will add extra quality in the middle of the park.
Arsenal should still be looking to sign a creative attacking midfielder, with Mesut Ozil’s future remaining in the dark.

Report: Celtic striking target and Bodo-Glimt star Kasper Junker open to move
| null | null |
sportslens.com
|
Bodo-Glimt star striker Kasper Junker has told The Athletic that he is very much open to leaving his club before the end of the January transfer window, and that could be good news for Celtic.
The Scottish Premiership giants are interested in recruiting the services of the 26-year-old, and his latest comments could come as a huge boost.
While Junker would ideally love to move to England, the new Brexit rules make it trickier for his next destination to be the UK, and it will be interesting to see what happens going forward.
The Norwegian bagged 27 goals and weighed in with eight assists in 25 games as Bodo-Glimt won the Norwegian top-flight last year.
The league campaign ended on December 19, and Junker has kept himself fit in the gym as he holds out for a move.
Celtic have run the rule over the prolific striker, but they aren’t the only ones keen on him.
According to TEAMtalk, Derby County, West Bromwich Albion, Crystal Palace, Swansea City, Middlesbrough and Bristol City have all cast their eyes over him too, and more suitors could emerge in the coming days.
Under the new work permit regulations it is believed that Junker would qualify for one despite the fact that he is not a full international, and that could hand Celtic a chance.
Neil Lennon’s side have found themselves 22 points behind Rangers with four games in hand in the Scottish Premiership table, and they will be keen to make quality additions to their squad this month in order to get their title charge back on track.
With Odsonne Edouard struggling in front of goal this term, landing a quality finisher like Junker could help revive their campaign as we enter the second half of the 2020-21, but whether they can pip the English clubs to his signature remains to be seen.

Tottenham make approach for Angel Di Maria
| null | null |
sportslens.com
|
Tottenham Hotspur are thought to be interested in signing the Paris Saint-Germain winger Angel Di Maria.
The 32-year-old winger will be a free agent at the end of this season and Spurs are probably looking to snap him up on a free transfer.
According to L’Equipe, the London club have approached the Argentine international and it remains to be seen whether they can convince him to return to the Premier League.
Tottenham Hotspur have approached Angel Di Maria, who is out of contract this summer, according to L’Équipe. More follows tomorrow. — Get French Football News (@GFFN) January 26, 2021
SL view: Mourinho should aim for younger alternatives
There is no doubt that Di Maria is a world-class player but he is 32 and Spurs must look to bring in younger options.
Gareth Bale will return to Real Madrid once his loan deal expires and Tottenham should strive to bring in someone who can be a long term solution on the right wing.
Furthermore the 104-cap Argentine international is unlikely to be keen on a return to England after his spell with Manchester United.
The Red Devils failed to get the best out of him when he moved to Old Trafford In 2014. He left the Premier League club after just one season with them scoring four goals in 32 appearances.
Di Maria has been outstanding for PSG since his move to France and he has four goals and eight assists to his name this season.
He would improve most teams in world football but his wages are likely to be quite high.
The Argentine could be a coup for Tottenham especially on a free transfer but it would be an expensive addition for a short term. The Londoners are better off building for the future.
Here is how the Tottenham fans have reacted to the news earlier.
Would be amazing — ️️ ً (@Ndombaldboy) January 26, 2021

Celtic could consider selling Odsonne Edouard for €25-30 million
| null | null |

Celtic have not managed to reach an agreement regarding a contract extension with Odsonne Edouard yet and the Scottish club are now looking the lower their demands for the Frenchman.
The 22-year-old has been linked with a move away from Glasgow and Celtic are now open to selling the player for a fee of around €25 to 30 million according to journalist Ignazio Genuardi.
Alors qu’aucun accord n’a pu être trouvé pour une prolongation, le #Celtic Glasgow revoit progressivement ses exigences à la baisse pour un éventuel départ de l’ex-Parisien #Édouard (qui sera libre en 2022). Aujourd’hui, on parle davantage d’un prix autour de 25-30 M€. #Mercato — Ignazio Genuardi (@IgnazioGenuardi) January 14, 2021
Edouard is one of the best players in Scotland at the moment and he has a contract with Celtic until the summer of 2022.
SL View: Time for Celtic and Edouard to part ways?
If the Scottish outfit fail to convince him to commit his long term future to the club in the coming months, it would be better for them to cash in on him in the summer.
The striker’s value will continue to depreciate with time and Celtic must look to recoup as much as they can at the end of this season.
The French striker has been linked with several Premier League clubs over the past year and it remains to be seen whether his suitors step up and submit a concrete offer at the end of this season.
There is no doubt that he is a top-class talent and it wouldn’t be surprising if he decides to move on two a better team at the end of this season.
Edouard needs a bigger challenge to continue his development as a player and a move to a Premier League club would give him a bigger platform to showcase his talent. He has already proven himself in the Scottish league.
Furthermore, playing alongside better players could bring out the best in him as well.

Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane has encouraged fans to give Eden Hazard time, after the former Chelsea man put in another below-par performance.

Zinedine Zidane urges fans to be patient with Eden Hazard
| null | null |

Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane has leapt to the defence of superstar Eden Hazard after he put in another underwhelming performance on Thursday.
Hazard signed for Madrid in the summer window of 2019 for a club-record fee following seven stellar seasons at Chelsea. Upon his arrival, he took the iconic number seven shirt, previously worn by the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Raul.
However, the Belgian hasn’t managed to reproduce the form he showed in the Premier League, scoring just three goals in all competitions for Los Blancos. A recurring ankle problem has proven to be a hindrance on his career in Spain.
On Thursday evening, the 30-year-old came under fire for another uninspiring performance against Athletic Bilbao as Los Blancos missed the chance to reach the final of the Supercopa de Espana, falling to a 2-1 defeat.
Manager Zinedine Zidane has come out in defence of the winger, urging fans to be patient with him.
As quoted by the Daily Star, Zidane said: “He (Hazard) needs to recover confidence, play a great game or score a goal, just to do something different. We know what a great player he is and we need to be patient with him as he is working hard.
“We are behind him and we must give him time. The fans want to see the best version of Eden so we must be patient. We’re sticking with him and he really wants to step up. But today it wasn’t just Eden, we’re all in this together.”
Hazard was part of the Madrid side that lifted the La Liga trophy last season, helping to dethrone Catalan giants Barcelona.
However, last season’s champions will have to step things up if they are to defend their title. They currently sit in second place, four points behind local rivals Atletico Madrid having played two games more.
Thursday’s defeat in the Supercopa de Espana was a big missed opportunity to get some silverware in the cabinet. Opponents Athletic Bilbao will face Barcelona in the final. La Blaugrana defeated Real Sociedad in the semi-finals via a penalty shootout.

Newcastle offered the chance to sign Hamza Choudhury

Newcastle United have been offered the chance to sign the Leicester City midfielder Hamza Choudhury.
According to the Chronicle, the 23-year-old midfielder wants to play regular first-team football and a loan move is on the cards this month. The midfielder has made just ten appearances for the Foxes in all competitions this season and he needs to play more games in order to continue his development and improve as a player.
Hamza Choudhury has a contract with Leicester City until the summer of 2023 but his agent is now looking for another destination for his client.
According to the report, Southampton have been keeping tabs on the midfielder over the past year as well. It will be interesting to see where the 23-year-old midfielder ends up this month.
The Leicester City midfielder will add some presence and steel to Steve Bruce’s midfield and it will be interesting to see if the Magpies decide to take up the option to sign him.
The tough-tackling midfielder will add a new dimension to Newcastle United’s midfield and he could help them improve at both ends of the pitch.
Not only will he add defensive cover for the centre backs, but his arrival will also allow the creative players to operate with more freedom at the centre of the park.
If Newcastle can sign him on a loan deal, it could prove to be a smart addition on a bargain.

Timothy Fosu-Mensah close to joining Bayer Leverkusen for £1.5m
| null | null |
sportslens.com

Manchester United defender Timothy Fosu-Mensah is close to making the move to Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen, Manchester Evening News reports.
The Netherlands international made his Red Devils debut more than four years ago, but he has not been able to establish himself with only 30 appearances in all competitions.
The 23-year-old has had a tough time with injuries and missed nearly 11 months of action between 2019 and 2020 with a cruciate ligament damage.
Fosu-Mensah started two of the club’s final three league games last season, but he has found himself down the selection order this term.
The Dutchman has played the solitary game in the league while he has made only two substitute appearances in other competitions.
With his contract expiring in the summer, manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer recently acknowledged that he could be on the move this month.
It is now reported that Leverkusen are on course to sign him on a cut-price deal worth £1.5 million.
Fosu-Mensah has largely played as a right-back in his senior career, but he is also capable of featuring at left-back or in the central defence.
Elsewhere, he has also operated in the defensive midfield position and could be a quality addition to the Leverkusen ranks with the small fee involved.
The 23-year-old has not made much progress in recent years with the limited game time and he will be hoping to redeem himself with a switch to the Bundesliga.

Tottenham Hotspur fans react to Max Aarons transfer link
| null | null |
sportslens.com
|
Tottenham Hotspur fans have taken to Twitter to express their reaction to reports suggesting that the club are keeping a close eye on Norwich City defender Max Aarons.
The Sunday Mirror (print edition, page 72) claimed that Spurs officials watched him in action recently during Norwich’s clash against Bristol City in midweek.
It has been claimed that Spurs are closely following his situation. The exciting young full-back is rated at £20 million, and he has more than three years left on his contract at Carrow Road.
Many Spurs fans feel that he would be a good signing for the club. However, there are others who feel that Spurs have enough depth and quality in their full-back areas and that Aarons is not an upgrade to what they already have.
Has he grown 5 inches since last summer? We were told Mourinho thought he was too short previously. — The Spurs Compendium (@SpursCompendium) January 24, 2021
He’s taller than Aurier and as tall as Reguilon. Yes Doherty is much taller tho. Not sure if height really makes a difference given the roles they’ve all played this season. — Paul Sangster (@paul_sangster) January 24, 2021
right back is one of our strongest.. aurier is playing brilliant.. Doherty is a solid back up and Jose rated Tanganga as a rb.. why would we spend 20m we don't have on an average player.. — TanguyTime (@tanguy_time) January 24, 2021
Definitely mourinho wouldn’t be asking for him with the amount of aerial battles that he loses. Sounds more like a levy signing — Andresinho (@Andre5inho) January 24, 2021
LOL, a player Mourinho doesn't rate, pure guesswork, he isn't anywhere near the top of the right-back list — Spurz (@SpurzRumours) January 24, 2021
Not sure he’s better than what we got — Bob powell (@bobpowell1_bob) January 24, 2021
Get him- going to be a superb player — Anotherlatenight (@centreground101) January 24, 2021
Deffo buy — Courtz robinson (@Courtney4685) January 24, 2021
Good move I reckon — Simon Cruddace (@simoncruddace) January 24, 2021
Sportslens View
The 21-year-old is a highly talented right-back who can also play as a left-back. He impressed heavily for Norwich in the Premier League last season, but he is yet to register an assist in the Championship thus far.
Spurs have Serge Aurier as their first-choice right-back, while they have got a solid back-up option in Matt Doherty. Japhet Tanganga can also operate in that role if needed.
At left-back, Jose Mourinho has two quality players in Sergio Reguilon and Ben Davies.
Although adding young talents to the side is always a healthy sign, in this case, Spurs should look to bolster other areas of the pitch.

Haller to Havertz: Rating the last 10 Bundesliga-imported attackers in the Premier League
| null | null |
sportslens.com
|
The Bundesliga, Germany’s primary division, is known for possessing a wealth of world-class talent, particularly in way of attack as its average of 3.21 goals per match last season was the highest in the big five leagues.
At the moment, the likes of Jude Bellingham, Florian Wirtz and Youssoufa Moukoko are just some of the under-18 talents that are tearing the league apart on a weekly basis. Such talent does not go unnoticed in the rest of Europe, and Germany exports a lot of players to the other top leagues.
Being one of the most prestigious and well-known competitions in the world, the Premier League naturally attracts a lot of these players to England. Here, we will take a look at the last 10 attackers who have crossed the English Channel from Germany and see how they fared:
Andriy Yarmolenko
Left: Borussia Dortmund
Joined: West Ham United
Date of Transfer: July 11, 2018
Transfer Fee: €20.00m
The first man on our list is ex-Borussia Dortmund man Andriy Yarmolenko, who joined West Ham in the summer of 2018.
The Ukrainian international spent just one season in Germany as he failed to break into the starting line-up too often, so a relative step down was perhaps what he needed. West Ham provided just that, and the move looked to be great for both parties initially as Yarmolenko scored a match-winning brace on his full Premier League debut. In the subsequent month though, he only managed one assist in four games, before an Achilles tendon rupture ended his season very early.
Yarmolenko was back for the 2019/20 season, and he started well yet again as he netted thrice in his first four starts. However, his goals dried up once again, and a torn abductor muscle in December meant that he was out until Project Restart. He made one start and seven substitute appearances thereafter, netting twice.
The ex-Dynamo Kyiv man has only made one start this season, but he does have an assist from his 11 substitute appearances as he has featured in all but four matches he was available for, missing out on four others due to a COVID-19 infection.
Despite his injuries and inconsistent form, Yarmolenko has delivered at some crucial moments. His nine goal involvements for West Ham have been worth 11 points. For the money they spent, though, the Hammers might have wanted a little bit more.
Rating: 5.5/10
Yoshinori Muto
Left: Mainz
Joined: Newcastle United
Date of Transfer: August 2, 2018
Transfer Fee: €10.70m
The second attacking arrival from Germany in the summer of 2018 was Mainz’s Yoshinori Muto, a promising forward who joined as one of the most expensive signings of Newcastle’s not-so-prosperous Mike Ashley-era. Mainz fans and journalists thought that he was well-suited for the Premier League, but they were quite clearly wrong.
After making six substitute appearances, Muto scored on his full Premier League debut against Manchester United. As it happened, that is his only goal in the league to this day. After blanking in three matches, a calf injury ruled the Japanese international out for three weeks. He never returned to the starting line-up for the rest of the season despite getting a spot on the bench 16 times thereafter.
Muto got just two starts and eight total Premier League outings last season as he was tried out in a variety of positions from striker to right winger but nothing seemed to work for him. Both of his managers in Tyneside – Rafael Benítez and Steve Bruce – were very reluctant to start him, and the latter even sent him out on loan to Eibar before the start of this season.
For a club so tight on money, spending eight-figures on a striker who only returned once in two seasons is just a horrendous piece of business. Then again, when was the last time Newcastle actually did some good business?
Rating: 2/10
Christian Pulisic
Left: Borussia Dortmund
Joined: Chelsea
Date of Transfer: January 2, 2019
Transfer Fee: €64.00m
American sensation Christian Pulisic was snapped up by Chelsea in the winter transfer window of 2018/19, but he was allowed to spend the rest of the season at Dortmund on loan.
When he joined Chelsea, Frank Lampard was beginning his tenure under a transfer ban, so he was the only fresh face in the squad except for academy graduates and returning loanees (which Chelsea usually have a lot of). He got off to a bit of a slow start, though, failing to score until matchday 10. When it finally rained for Pulisic, it poured, as he opened his Premier League account with a hat-trick against Burnley.
Chelsea’s ‘Captain America’ netted once each in his next two matches, but those were his last league goals of 2019. 2020 didn’t start too well for Pulisic either – he sustained a tear in his abductor muscle after playing just one match so he too was out until Project Restart.
When he returned, Pulisic was simply on fire. In nine games, he contributed to eight goals, scoring four and setting up as many others.
Pulisic has been a bit disappointing this season, although two separate muscle injuries have kept him out for nearly two months. In nine starts and three substitute appearances, he has only scored once, which certainly cannot be considered good for a man of his talents. With ex-Dortmund manager Thomas Tuchel set to reunite with him at Chelsea, fans will perhaps expect those numbers to vastly improve.
Rating: 6/10
Josip Drmić
Left: Borussia Mönchengladbach
Joined: Norwich City
Date of Transfer: July 1, 2019
Transfer Fee: N/A (free)
The only free transfer in this list saw Josip Drmić leave Borussia Mönchengladbach for newly-promoted Norwich City prior to the 2019/20 season.
With nothing but his wages having an effect on the Canaries’ finances, expectations were relatively low for the Swiss striker, but he managed to underperform even then with just one goal in 21 appearances. Admittedly, that was amidst some torrid times for his hamstring which saw him fail to start until matchday 30, but it still is not good enough.
As is well-documented, Norwich were relegated at the end of the 2019/20 season, and Drmić has had it very tough ever since – he was sent off in his first Championship match and has been frozen out of the squad ever since.
Rating: 2/10
Sébastien Haller
Left: Eintracht Frankfurt
Joined: West Ham United
Date of Transfer: July 17, 2019
Transfer Fee: €50.00m
After impressing thoroughly at Eintracht Frankfurt, Sébastien Haller joined West Ham for quite a hefty fee.
Haller hit the ground running as he bagged a brace in his second league match, following it up with three goal involvements in four matches. He was very unreliable ever since, though, finishing the season with seven goals and an assist in 32 matches. His inconsistency caused David Moyes to convert wing-back, Michail Antonio, into a striker – quite successfully too.
Antonio’s success hurt Haller further, though, as finding a starting spot became even harder for the Ivory Coast international. An injury for the Englishman meant that Haller got a much-needed second chance, but he failed to take it with just three goals in 16 outings, with Ajax snapping him up in January to end his torrid time in London.
For a club-record signing, Haller was an absolute flop and didn’t do much more than disappoint bar the odd spectacular overhead kick goal.
Rating: 2.5/10
Joelinton
Left: Hoffenheim
Joined: Newcastle United
Date of Transfer: July 23, 2019
Transfer Fee: €44.00m
If Yoshinori Muto was a bad piece of business for Newcastle, Joelinton was just a horror-show.
The Brazilian forward joined the Magpies prior to the 2019/20 season as their club-record signing (by some margin too), and he finished it as one of their worst signings (perhaps even beating Jean-Alain Boumsong).
He scored in his third Premier League match, but then went what can only be described as an ice age as far as goals are concerned. The Brazilian got his second and last goal of the Premier League season on matchday 30. He underperformed his npxG by 2.8 in the process, so the issue was not the service, it was his finishing.
This season hasn’t been too much better for the 24-year-old forward as he has only netted once in 12 starts and four appearances off the bench, with his most recent Pleistocene beginning on November 27.
Rating: 1.5/10
Ondrej Duda
Left: Hertha Berlin
Joined: Norwich City
Date of Transfer: January 12, 2020
Transfer Fee: N/A (loan)
Norwich City were already seemingly doomed when the winter transfer window for the 2019/20 season opened as they were sitting not-so-pretty at the bottom of the table, so they dipped into the Bundesliga’s reserves for two attackers.
The first signing saw Hertha Berlin’s Ondrej Duda join the Canaries, with the Slovakian international finding it difficult to break into Berliners’ first team. At Norwich, he was effectively guaranteed that. After nine starts and one substitute appearance, Duda failed to get a single goal or assist, but his overall play was not too shabby.
In the end, this was a positive move for all parties involved – Hertha got a fringe player off their books, Norwich got a much-needed talented attacker and Duda got a chance to display his qualities in England.
Rating: 5.5/10
Lukas Rupp
Left: Hoffenheim
Joined: Norwich City
Date of Transfer: January 13, 2020
Transfer Fee: €0.50m
The third Norwich City signing on this list is Lukas Rupp, who joined for a relatively paltry fee from Hoffenheim (who were probably just too busy swimming in the money Joelinton’s sale had brought to care about Rupp’s fee).
The German attacker got eight starts and four outings off the bench after joining one day later than Duda. He too failed to get a single goal involvement, but was tidy on the right wing whenever he was deployed there. He is still with the Canaries in the Championship, and is slowly starting to get better.
Rating: 6/10
Timo Werner
Left: RB Leipzig
Joined: Chelsea
Date of Transfer: July 1, 2020
Transfer Fee: €53.00m
The first of two Bundesliga-imports that Chelsea brought in this season is Timo Werner, whose deal had already been finalised before the opening of the transfer window.
As we have explored previously, Werner has had a torrid time at Stamford Bridge so far. After winning a penalty on debut against Brighton, Werner was deployed as a left winger in the Blues’ next three matches, failing to score or assist in each of them. He was restored to the centre thereafter, scoring four goals in as many matches, including a brace against Southampton.
Thereafter, though, the German international was puzzling restored to the left wing by Frank Lampard, leading to an 11-match goal-drought that hasn’t ended yet. With Thomas Tuchel taking over, the ex-Stuttgart man should benefit from having a fellow countryman as his coach. Hopefully, he will be back among the Premier League goalscorers soon.
Rating: 5.5/10
Kai Havertz
Left: Bayer Leverkusen
Joined: Chelsea
Date of Transfer: September 4, 2020
Transfer Fee: €80.00m
The last man we will be rating happens to be the most expensive signing of 2020 – Kai Havertz.
The Bayer Leverkusen sensation joined Chelsea for an alarming sum, but those who had watched him in Germany assured Chelsea fans that his talents were worth the money. Although he scored once and set up two goals in his first three starts, the 21-year-old attacker has failed to come anywhere close to the levels he achieved in Germany so far this season, with a number of factors contributing to that.
The first one is that Lampard has deployed him in four different positions this season, meaning that he has not had a consistent run in one particular role in the starting line-up. Worse yet, a COVID-19 infection in November must have derailed any sort of comfort the German international had in the Blues’ camp, effectively resetting his progress from December.
Like Werner, Havertz should benefit from having Tuchel as his manager, so things can only get better for him now.
Rating: 3.5/10
Jean-Philippe Mateta
Left: Mainz
Joined: Crystal Palace
Date of Transfer: January 21, 2021
Transfer Fee: €3.50m (loan)
The bonus inclusion in our list is Mainz’s Jean-Philippe Mateta, who has joined Crystal Palace on an 18-month loan with an option to make the deal permanent for €15m. Visa issues have prevented him from making his debut yet, but the physical striker is expected to land in London soon.
Rating: N/A
Conclusion
There are a few interesting takeaways from this list. First of all, only four English clubs are involved in our 10-man list, with both Norwich City and Chelsea bringing in three Bundesliga players in the last couple of years.
Secondly, it is quite interesting to see that none of the recent Bundesliga-imports have had a huge impact on the league. This is not to say that the quality of talent coming from Germany is poor, the likes of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Leroy Sané, Roberto Firmino, Heung-min Son and Kevin De Bruyne are just some examples of the outstanding Bundesliga-imports in the Premier League.
Irrespective of the past, there is no question that Premier League clubs will continue to scout and recruit talent from Germany, and the aforementioned trio of Bellingham, Wirtz and Moukoko are probably already showing on a lot of radars.

"The Bundesliga, Germany’s primary division, is known for possessing a wealth of world-class talent, particularly in way of attack as its average of 3.21 goals per match last season was the highest in the big five leagues.\nAt the moment, the likes of Jude Bellingham, Florian Wirtz and Youssoufa Moukoko are just some of the under-18 talents that are tearing the league apart on a weekly basis. Such talent does not go unnoticed in the rest of Europe, and Germany exports a lot of players to the other top leagues.\nBeing one of the most prestigious and well-known competitions in the world, the Premier League naturally attracts a lot of these players to England. Here, we will take a look at the last 10 attackers who have crossed the English Channel from Germany and see how they fared:\nAndriy Yarmolenko\nLeft: Borussia Dortmund\nJoined: West Ham United\nDate of Transfer: July 11, 2018\nTransfer Fee: €20.00m\nThe first man on our list is ex-Borussia Dortmund man Andriy Yarmolenko, who joined West Ham in the summer of 2018.\nThe Ukrainian international spent just one season in Germany as he failed to break into the starting line-up too often, so a relative step down was perhaps what he needed. West Ham provided just that, and the move looked to be great for both parties initially as Yarmolenko scored a match-winning brace on his full Premier League debut. In the subsequent month though, he only managed one assist in four games, before an Achilles tendon rupture ended his season very early.\nYarmolenko was back for the 2019/20 season, and he started well yet again as he netted thrice in his first four starts. However, his goals dried up once again, and a torn abductor muscle in December meant that he was out until Project Restart. He made one start and seven substitute appearances thereafter, netting twice.\nThe ex-Dynamo Kyiv man has only made one start this season, but he does have an assist from his 11 substitute appearances as he has featured in all but four matches he was available for, missing out on four others due to a COVID-19 infection.\nDespite his injuries and inconsistent form, Yarmolenko has delivered at some crucial moments. His nine goal involvements for West Ham have been worth 11 points. For the money they spent, though, the Hammers might have wanted a little bit more.\nRating: 5.5/10\nYoshinori Muto\nLeft: Mainz\nJoined: Newcastle United\nDate of Transfer: August 2, 2018\nTransfer Fee: €10.70m\nThe second attacking arrival from Germany in the summer of 2018 was Mainz’s Yoshinori Muto, a promising forward who joined as one of the most expensive signings of Newcastle’s not-so-prosperous Mike Ashley-era. Mainz fans and journalists thought that he was well-suited for the Premier League, but they were quite clearly wrong.\nAfter making six substitute appearances, Muto scored on his full Premier League debut against Manchester United. As it happened, that is his only goal in the league to this day. After blanking in three matches, a calf injury ruled the Japanese international out for three weeks. He never returned to the starting line-up for the rest of the season despite getting a spot on the bench 16 times thereafter.\nMuto got just two starts and eight total Premier League outings last season as he was tried out in a variety of positions from striker to right winger but nothing seemed to work for him. Both of his managers in Tyneside – Rafael Benítez and Steve Bruce – were very reluctant to start him, and the latter even sent him out on loan to Eibar before the start of this season.\nFor a club so tight on money, spending eight-figures on a striker who only returned once in two seasons is just a horrendous piece of business. Then again, when was the last time Newcastle actually did some good business?\nRating: 2/10\nChristian Pulisic\nLeft: Borussia Dortmund\nJoined: Chelsea\nDate of Transfer: January 2, 2019\nTransfer Fee: €64.00m\nAmerican sensation Christian Pulisic was snapped up by Chelsea in the winter transfer window of 2018/19, but he was allowed to spend the rest of the season at Dortmund on loan.\nWhen he joined Chelsea, Frank Lampard was beginning his tenure under a transfer ban, so he was the only fresh face in the squad except for academy graduates and returning loanees (which Chelsea usually have a lot of). He got off to a bit of a slow start, though, failing to score until matchday 10. When it finally rained for Pulisic, it poured, as he opened his Premier League account with a hat-trick against Burnley.\nChelsea’s ‘Captain America’ netted once each in his next two matches, but those were his last league goals of 2019. 2020 didn’t start too well for Pulisic either – he sustained a tear in his abductor muscle after playing just one match so he too was out until Project Restart.\nWhen he returned, Pulisic was simply on fire. In nine games, he contributed to eight goals, scoring four and setting up as many others.\nPulisic has been a bit disappointing this season, although two separate muscle injuries have kept him out for nearly two months. In nine starts and three substitute appearances, he has only scored once, which certainly cannot be considered good for a man of his talents. With ex-Dortmund manager Thomas Tuchel set to reunite with him at Chelsea, fans will perhaps expect those numbers to vastly improve.\nRating: 6/10\nJosip Drmić\nLeft: Borussia Mönchengladbach\nJoined: Norwich City\nDate of Transfer: July 1, 2019\nTransfer Fee: N/A (free)\nThe only free transfer in this list saw Josip Drmić leave Borussia Mönchengladbach for newly-promoted Norwich City prior to the 2019/20 season.\nWith nothing but his wages having an effect on the Canaries’ finances, expectations were relatively low for the Swiss striker, but he managed to underperform even then with just one goal in 21 appearances. Admittedly, that was amidst some torrid times for his hamstring which saw him fail to start until matchday 30, but it still is not good enough.\nAs is well-documented, Norwich were relegated at the end of the 2019/20 season, and Drmić has had it very tough ever since – he was sent off in his first Championship match and has been frozen out of the squad ever since.\nRating: 2/10\nSébastien Haller\nLeft: Eintracht Frankfurt\nJoined: West Ham United\nDate of Transfer: July 17, 2019\nTransfer Fee: €50.00m\nAfter impressing thoroughly at Eintracht Frankfurt, Sébastien Haller joined West Ham for quite a hefty fee.\nHaller hit the ground running as he bagged a brace in his second league match, following it up with three goal involvements in four matches. He was very unreliable ever since, though, finishing the season with seven goals and an assist in 32 matches. His inconsistency caused David Moyes to convert wing-back, Michail Antonio, into a striker – quite successfully too.\nAntonio’s success hurt Haller further, though, as finding a starting spot became even harder for the Ivory Coast international. An injury for the Englishman meant that Haller got a much-needed second chance, but he failed to take it with just three goals in 16 outings, with Ajax snapping him up in January to end his torrid time in London.\nFor a club-record signing, Haller was an absolute flop and didn’t do much more than disappoint bar the odd spectacular overhead kick goal.\nRating: 2.5/10\nJoelinton\nLeft: Hoffenheim\nJoined: Newcastle United\nDate of Transfer: July 23, 2019\nTransfer Fee: €44.00m\nIf Yoshinori Muto was a bad piece of business for Newcastle, Joelinton was just a horror-show.\nThe Brazilian forward joined the Magpies prior to the 2019/20 season as their club-record signing (by some margin too), and he finished it as one of their worst signings (perhaps even beating Jean-Alain Boumsong).\nHe scored in his third Premier League match, but then went what can only be described as an ice age as far as goals are concerned. The Brazilian got his second and last goal of the Premier League season on matchday 30. He underperformed his npxG by 2.8 in the process, so the issue was not the service, it was his finishing.\nThis season hasn’t been too much better for the 24-year-old forward as he has only netted once in 12 starts and four appearances off the bench, with his most recent Pleistocene beginning on November 27.\nRating: 1.5/10\nOndrej Duda\nLeft: Hertha Berlin\nJoined: Norwich City\nDate of Transfer: January 12, 2020\nTransfer Fee: N/A (loan)\nNorwich City were already seemingly doomed when the winter transfer window for the 2019/20 season opened as they were sitting not-so-pretty at the bottom of the table, so they dipped into the Bundesliga’s reserves for two attackers.\nThe first signing saw Hertha Berlin’s Ondrej Duda join the Canaries, with the Slovakian international finding it difficult to break into Berliners’ first team. At Norwich, he was effectively guaranteed that. After nine starts and one substitute appearance, Duda failed to get a single goal or assist, but his overall play was not too shabby.\nIn the end, this was a positive move for all parties involved – Hertha got a fringe player off their books, Norwich got a much-needed talented attacker and Duda got a chance to display his qualities in England.\nRating: 5.5/10\nLukas Rupp\nLeft: Hoffenheim\nJoined: Norwich City\nDate of Transfer: January 13, 2020\nTransfer Fee: €0.50m\nThe third Norwich City signing on this list is Lukas Rupp, who joined for a relatively paltry fee from Hoffenheim (who were probably just too busy swimming in the money Joelinton’s sale had brought to care about Rupp’s fee).\nThe German attacker got eight starts and four outings off the bench after joining one day later than Duda. He too failed to get a single goal involvement, but was tidy on the right wing whenever he was deployed there. He is still with the Canaries in the Championship, and is slowly starting to get better.\nRating: 6/10\nTimo Werner\nLeft: RB Leipzig\nJoined: Chelsea\nDate of Transfer: July 1, 2020\nTransfer Fee: €53.00m\nThe first of two Bundesliga-imports that Chelsea brought in this season is Timo Werner, whose deal had already been finalised before the opening of the transfer window.\nAs we have explored previously, Werner has had a torrid time at Stamford Bridge so far.

Garth Crooks raves about Arsenal defender Kieran Tierney
| null | null |
sportslens.com
|
Popular football pundit Garth Crooks has showered praise on Arsenal left-back Kieran Tierney and has picked him in his Premier League Team of the week for BBC Sport.
The 23-year-old scored the opening goal for the Gunners and produced a superb performance against the Baggies as Arsenal won 4-0 on Saturday in the Premier League.
In fact, Tierney – who joined Arsenal from Celtic for a fee in the region of £25m in 2019 – has been extremely consistent throughout, and Crooks has rightly pointed out that he ‘has been one of the few shining lights’ for Arsenal this season.
“When I saw Tierney tease West Brom’s Darnell Furlong – not once, but twice – I thought he’d slightly overdone it, but what then took place was finishing of the highest order from the Arsenal full-back. For the left-footed Scot to cut inside and let fly so accurately with his weaker foot was very impressive,” said Crooks to BBC Sport.
“Tierney has been one of the few shining lights in what has been a difficult season for Arsenal so far, but this victory over the Baggies is the Gunners’ third consecutive win. I wonder if they have turned the corner.”
Tierney created the most chances (four) and had the most touches (95) for Arsenal against West Brom. Apart from Tierney, two goals from Alexandre Lacazette and one from Bukayo Saka sealed all three points for the Gunners last Saturday.
After the match, Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta was full of praise for the Scotland defender, and even suggested that he has all the ability to be a future captain of the club.
Only a few weeks ago, Arsenal fans were fearing the worst they could be involved in a relegation battle after a wretched run of form.
However, the Gunners have now climbed up to 11th in the Premier League table following three straight wins. They are playing with confidence now, and it seems they may have turned the corner.

Inter Milan boss tells Tottenham that Eriksen is staying in Italy
| null | null |
sportslens.com
|
Inter Milan manager Antonio Conte has insisted that Christian Eriksen will not be allowed to leave the club this month.
The 28-year-old has been strongly linked with a loan move back to Tottenham Hotspur after failing to establish himself with the Serie A club.
Eriksen managed to highlight his quality last night, firing home a stoppage-time free-kick to seal a 2-1 victory for Inter over AC Milan in the Coppa Italia.
Speaking after the game, Conte told Rai Sport that Eriksen remains an important part of his plans.
“For a month now I’ve been saying the same thing – this is the Inter squad,” he said. “Nobody will arrive, nobody will leave. I keep saying it and nobody seems to believe me.
“We are working with Eriksen on a tactical level to find an alternative for (Marcelo) Brozovic, because we don’t have someone like that in the squad.
“Christian is a very intelligent lad, he has quality, he’s part of the project and I am happy he scored that goal. I really wanted him to take it, as we all know the quality he has from set plays.
“He’s very shy, so I hope this goal can shake him up and make him come out of his shell. We all like him, he’s a good lad – perhaps too good. He needs to be more determined.”
SL View
While Eriksen is believed to be keen to return to Spurs, Conte appears to be steadfast in his desire to retain his services.
The Serie A club are firmly in the title mix and the former Chelsea boss is unlikely to want to weaken his squad heading into the second half of the season.
Eriksen’s winning goal against Milan was a reminder of his talent and Conte will be eager to see more of the same over the coming weeks.
As highlighted by Gareth Bale’s failure to shine on his return to Spurs, Eriksen would be well-advised to get his head down and concentrate on becoming a regular starter with Inter.

Manchester United suffer massive revenue drop, Liverpool return to top five in the rich-list
| null | null |
sportslens.com

Liverpool have joined Manchester United among the top five clubs in the Deloitte Football Money League for 2019/20.
Barcelona and Real Madrid top the list, with Bayern Munich third and the two Premier League clubs rounding off the top five.
The rankings detail the highest revenue generating clubs in world football and is widely viewed as the most reliable analysis of their financial performance.
Total revenue of the top 20 Money League clubs fell 12% to €8.2bn due to the pandemic – see the full list and commentaries #DFML2021https://t.co/qHV6krXqs5 pic.twitter.com/B9JxWOHTCj — Deloitte UK (@DeloitteUK) January 26, 2021
Liverpool returned to the top five in the Money League for the first time since 2001/02 with total revenue of £489.9m, an eight percent decrease compared to the previous year.
Deloitte Sports Business Group Director, Tim Bridge, said the club’s on-pitch success was a massive factor in their rise up the standings.
“Building on winning the Champions League and then taking the Premier League crown for the first time has had a significant impact,” he told Sky Sports.
“They have moved significantly towards a more digital model, and have been doing for a number of years.
“That has benefitted them in comparison to others during the pandemic, because they are able to engage with their fans in a way others probably had to play catch-up.”
United remain in the top five despite suffering the largest year-on-year decline among the top 20 clubs in the Money League.
The club’s 2020 revenues were £509m, a drop of more than £118m. Bridge attributes this to two important factors.
“The reason for the decrease is predominantly driven by the pandemic,” he added. “As you can imagine, Manchester United with a huge fanbase generate significant amounts of revenue every time they play at Old Trafford.
“They are going to be impacted in a more significant way than many other clubs. Of course, last year they didn’t have Champions League football either, so the revenue differential from competing in the Europa League compared to the Champions League had a significant impact on the numbers.
“But caution is needed. With Bayern Munich moving ahead of them, they were able to complete their domestic season in the timeframe, so the numbers for Bayern represent a full year of domestic football, whereas for United they are curtailed.”

Jamie O'Hara comments on Tottenham after defeat vs Liverpool

Former Tottenham Hotspur player turned popular talkSPORT pundit Jamie O’Hara shared his reaction on social networking site Twitter after Spurs lost 3-1 against Liverpool in the Premier League on Thursday night.
With that defeat, Spurs have dropped to sixth in the Premier League table, one place behind West Ham United. This is what he wrote:
Seriously Spurs I can’t take this, we’ve seen off Arsenal fans over the years now we’ve got The hammers piping up cos there finally playing some decent football in there track and field stadium 😂 any danger #spurs #TOTLIV — Jamie Ohara (@Mrjamieohara1) January 28, 2021

His comment has riled up a few Arsenal fans on Twitter. After a torrid run of form, the Gunners appear to have turned it around under Mikel Arteta.
The north London club are just three points behind Spurs, and they are in very good form at the moment, winning five of their last six games in the Premier League.
West Ham, on the other hand, have been simply superb under Moyes this season.
They have won six games in a row in all competitions, and are pushing for European spots this season.
O’Hara appears to have mocked the Hammers stadium, but he also mentions their style of football as ‘decent’.
Spurs have done well under Mourinho, but their style of football has often been criticised. Former Spurs player Graham Roberts suggested on Twitter that Tottenham must abandon their playing style under Mourinho.
If Arsenal and West Ham can maintain their impressive form this season, Spurs will have strong competition from the two London rivals in the top four race.

Report: Crystal Palace and Fulham join West Ham United in the race for Boulaye Dia
| null | null |
sportslens.com
|
According to le10sport, Crystal Palace and Fulham have joined West Ham United in the race for Reims striker Boulaye Dia.
The 24-year-old has been in explosive form in 2020-21 after ending last term with just seven goals in 24 league games, and he is also attracting interests from Marseille and Krasnodar.
Sportslens View
Dia has surpassed that return and currently leads the goalscoring charts in Ligue 1 with 12 goals in 18 games, and it has not come as a surprise that the aforementioned Premier League trio are keen on him.
While Palace and Fulham have recently made contact with Dia’s representatives, they are yet to make any concrete offer.
Reims will not be keen to let such a key player leave half-way through the season, and suitors might have to table a very tempting bid to have a chance of prising him away this month.
West Ham see the Frenchman as a potential replacement for Sebastien Haller, but they could miss out on him following the emergence of their London rivals in the race.
Palace need a quality finisher to lead their line with Christian Benteke still struggling in front of goal, and adding Dia to an attack that already boasts of Wilfried Zaha and Eberechi Eze will be huge.
Landing him could help boost Roy Hodgson’s side’s chances of finishing in the top-eight, but whether they can pip West Ham and Fulham to his signature remains to be seen.
The Cottagers have languished in the relegation zone all season and will need to make quality additions this month to have a realistic chance of staying up.
A quality striker in the mold of the Frenchman would help boost their survival chances, but convincing him to swap one relegation battle with another one could prove herculean.

Opinion: Liverpool playing a risky game - owners must deliver
| null | null |
sportslens.com
|
Liverpool’s 3-1 victory at Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday proved that they will not give up the Premier League title without a fight.
However, injuries to Fabinho and Joel Matip have left the Reds without any of their first choice centre-backs heading into a crucial part of the season.
At his post-match press conference, manager Jurgen Klopp insisted that he won’t bring in reinforcements just for the sake of it.
“You can imagine that we think about everything,” said Klopp. “Of course, we thought the whole time, we think the whole time.
“It’s about doing the right thing it’s not, I’m not picky or whatever, but we need to find the right player.
“We have players, still not a lot to be honest in the defensive line, it’s incredible what’s happening there. It’s really incredible.”
SL View
Liverpool finished last night’s game with Jordan Henderson and Nat Phillips at centre-back and ran out deserving winners.
However, their cause was helped by Harry Kane’s withdrawal at half-time, leaving Spurs fairly toothless after the break.
With four centre-backs now on the sidelines, the phrase ‘desperate times call for desperate measures’ undoubtedly springs to mind where Liverpool are concerned.
Under normal circumstances, Klopp’s comments about signing the ‘right player’ would make perfect sense, but Liverpool must act before the transfer window closes.
If the club are serious about retaining the title, the time has come for the owners to put their hands in their pockets to strengthen the defence.
The ‘right player’ is out there if the board is willing to spend. The next three days will tell us much about their ambitions.

SC East Bengal 1-1 FC Goa: Report, Ratings & Reaction as the Red and Gold Brigade Battle to a Draw
| null | null |
sportslens.com
|
The 10th matchday of the Indian Super League continued to provide exciting action as 10th-placed SC East Bengal faced 3rd-placed FC Goa.
The technical home side had finally managed to bring up their first ISL win last time out, while the Gaurs were on a two-game winning run and wanted to cement their spot in the playoff spots.
An important clash was set to ensue in Goa, and here’s what we made of it:
Report
Debjit Majumdar was called into action within five minutes as he had to make a diving save off James Donachie’s header following a Brandon Fernandes free-kick.
East Bengal’s first chance of the match came in the 28th minute when Aaron Amadi-Holloway met Narayan Das’s free-kick near the six-yard box, but his header went wide. A minute later, Raju Gaikwad launched a long throw to the back post, where Danny Fox was unmarked, but he somehow missed the target.
FC Goa came close to opening the scoring 11 minutes later as Saviour Gama was allowed to shoot from range, but his bottom corner-bound effort was well-saved by Debjit Majumdar.
The left-back came close to scoring against just before half-time when his deflected effort was creeping in again, but the keeper made another key stop. In first-half stoppage-time, Aaron Amadi-Holloway had another free header following a free-kick, but this time he sent it way high.
Things took a big turn in the 56th minute when Danny Fox was sent off for a reckless challenge on Alexander Romario. Despite that, the Red and Gold Brigade had a huge chance in the 60th minute when Matti Steinmann dribbled forward from inside his own half and opened up a shooting angle at the edge of the box, but he missed wide.
There was another huge twist in the tale in the 79th minute when Bright Enobakhare dribbled past half of the Goa side, zigzagged past a couple of defenders in the box and slotted past the keeper to score an absolute sizzler.
Bright Enobakhare. Wow. That’s got to be the goal of the season so far. #SCEBFCG — Nicolai Nayak (@NicolaiNayak) January 6, 2021
FC Goa needed just over a minute to respond, though, as substitute Devendra Murgaonkar headed Saviour Gama’s cross past Debjit Majumdar at the far post.
SC East Bengal managed to hold on, though, getting a deserved point from a 1-1 draw.
SC EAST BENGAL
Key Talking Point
After finally managing to win their first ISL match in nine attempts, East Bengal knew that avoiding defeat tonight was a tough ask.
With Anthony Pilkington out due to a minor injury and Jacques Maghoma only making the bench for similar reasons, Robbie Fowler made five changes to his starting lineup. There was a tactical change too, as his side fielded a back-five. Out of possession, they held a 5-3-2/5-2-3 depending on Bright Enobakhare’s decision to press. They were happy to cede possession in order to threaten their opponents on the counterattack.
However, most of their big chances came from set-pieces. A corner and a Raju Gaikwad long throw gave Aaron Amadi-Holloway and Danny Fox two huge chances respectively, but they both missed the target altogether. These chances would come back to haunt them in the second half, as a red card for Danny Fox meant that they were on the backfoot for over a third of the match. At the other end, Debjit Majumdar did have to make a few key saves, but there was nothing majorly threatening his goal.
Although I am thrilled with how we have played tonight. Could have easily scored when we had 11 men. Amadi missed a couple of headers and Fox missed one as well. Steinmann should have hit the target after a great run in the second half. We move on.#SCEBFCG #WeAreSCEB #ISL — Pritam Guha (@peezee31) January 6, 2021
Things took a big turn late on, as Bright Enobakhare scored a wonder-goal before Goa quickly equalised. They did a great job of holding on to a draw thereafter, coming away with a deserved point.
Player Ratings
Debjit Majumder (7.5), Ankit Mukherjee (6), Scott Neville (6), Raju Gaikwad (6.5), Danny Fox (3), Narayan Das (6.5), Milan Singh (5), Matti Steinmann (6.5), Bright Enobakhare (8*), Aaron Amadi-Holloway (5.5), Harmanpreet Singh (5)
Subs: Jacques Maghoma (5.5), Surchandra Singh (5), Mohammed Rafique (N/A)
Debjit Majumder
Bright Enobakhare might have scored the match-saving goal for his side, but his side may well have been three down before that if it wasn’t for Debjit Majumdar.
The ex-ATK shot-stopper made a number of crucial saves, especially in the first half to keep the scores level. He had to keep out James Donachie’s header after a free-kick early on. Thereafter, he had to make a couple of routine stops and some more notable ones off Saviour Gama’s long-ranged efforts in a brilliant first-half display. He wasn’t worked half as hard in the second period, but he looked solid then too, except the goal he conceded.
Debjit Majumder+ few more inches of height = One of India's best GKs. Facts. — Anurag (@anurag_rik) January 6, 2021
The 32-year-old keeper made eight crucial saves, including three from shots inside the box, and made a couple of punches and high claims to help his side to a crucial point.
Savejit indeed.
FC GOA
Key Talking Point
FC Goa knew that a win here would effectively seal a top-four spot for them until matchday 11 – the end of the first half of the season.
Two wins in their last two matches meant that they had momentum on their side, and the fact that Juan Ferrando made just one change to his lineup preserved that. As expected, they had a clear majority of possession in the first half with 68% of the ball, but they couldn’t really pose a goal threat bar a couple of long-distance efforts from Saviour Gama. In truth, they were rather lucky to go into the half-time break without conceding as East Bengal had a number of set-piece chances.
Goa got a huge advantage just over 10 minutes into the second half when Danny Fox saw red for a rather reckless challenge. However, if anything, they created even fewer chances thereafter and looked even blander in attack. Therefore, they deservedly conceded in the 79th minute, and then they suddenly woke up and equalised in just over a minute.
FC Goa didn’t really threaten the goal thereafter, so there was no late comeback tonight.
Player Ratings
Mohammad Nawaz (5), Seriton Fernandes (6.5), James Donachie (6.5), Iván González (6), Saviour Gama (7.5*), Princeton Rebello (6), Edu Bedia (6.5), Alexander Romario (6), Jorge Ortiz (6.5), Brandon Fernandes (6), Igor Angulo (5.5)
Subs: Devendra Murgaonkar (7), Aibanbha Dohling (5), Alberto Noguera (5.5), Ishan Pandita (N/A)
What This Means:
FC Goa stay in third spot, but are two points clear now, while East Bengal move one place up to ninth. Danny Fox saw the ninth red card of the season, while Bright Enobakhare scored his second goal of the campaign. Devendra Murgaonkar opened his ISL tally tonight, but Igor Angulo missed the chance to match Coro’s record of 10 goals in his first 10 FC Goa games.
SC East Bengal face Bengaluru FC next on Saturday, while FC Goa’s next clash is on the 14th against Jamshedpur FC.

The world's greatest player, Lionel Messi, has been linked with a move to French outfit Paris Saint-Germain at the end of his current contract at Barcelona.

Messi makes a sensational demand to leave Barcelona for PSG
| null | null |
sportslens.com
|
The world’s greatest player, Lionel Messi, has been linked with a move to French outfit Paris Saint-Germain at the end of his current contract at Barcelona.
Messi is linked with a Barcelona exit and PSG is his destination of choice, according to Diario GOL. The Argentine is expected to leave Barca for free at the end of the season for a switch to the Parc des Princes.
Mauricio Pochettino arriving at the club has given them the edge over Manchester City. The former Tottenham Hotspur manager was Messi’s preferred choice at Barcelona when Ernesto Valverde and Quique Setien were sacked last year. However, Pochettino rejected moving to the Camp Nou due to his association with Espanyol.
Neymar has mentioned that he intends to reunite with Messi, with PSG looking a likely destination for that to happen. The Brazilian will be a driving force behind the 33-year-old signing for the French side.
Sergio Aguero is also on the radar due to his contract situation and relationship with Messi. The City superstar’s deal expires this summer and Pochettino also wants him at PSG.
However, Messi has now made a stunning demand which could make or break the move. The forward wants Kylian Mbappe gone before he will sign.
For PSG to afford Aguero and Messi together, Messi believes the Frenchman must go due to his wages. The Barcelona captain earns close to 100 million Euros a year at his current club and will expect the Ligue 1 giants to match that salary at the very least.
Real Madrid are interested in Mbappe and could play in a key role in completing PSG’s revolution. The Whites are already working on his signing for the summer, which could be enough to fulfil Messi’s wishes.
SPORTSLENS VIEW:
Messi is certainly one of the world’s greatest players but, at 33, Barca must not continue paying him as much as they do.
The player is in the final years of his career, and the Blaugrana have to move on from their reliance on him. The club’s financial crisis comes as a blessing in disguise because it may allow the youth to step up and show their quality.
PSG, on the other hand, are playing a perilous game. Aguero has been prone to injuries lately and is already 32, whereas Messi, as stated above, is 33.
The Ligue 1 giants are sacrificing arguably the world’s best young talent to make way for two players who will be at the top of their game for barely a few more years.
Barcelona did bend their back to keep Messi happy in the past, and the latest move from PSG seems to be a similar path they are taking to keep Neymar happy.
Only time will tell whether or not this has been successful or not. What is your opinion?

"The world’s greatest player, Lionel Messi, has been linked with a move to French outfit Paris Saint-Germain at the end of his current contract at Barcelona.\nMessi is linked with a Barcelona exit and PSG is his destination of choice, according to Diario GOL. The Argentine is expected to leave Barca for free at the end of the season for a switch to the Parc des Princes.\nMauricio Pochettino arriving at the club has given them the edge over Manchester City. The former Tottenham Hotspur manager was Messi’s preferred choice at Barcelona when Ernesto Valverde and Quique Setien were sacked last year. However, Pochettino rejected moving to the Camp Nou due to his association with Espanyol.\nNeymar has mentioned that he intends to reunite with Messi, with PSG looking a likely destination for that to happen. The Brazilian will be a driving force behind the 33-year-old signing for the French side.\nSergio Aguero is also on the radar due to his contract situation and relationship with Messi. The City superstar’s deal expires this summer and Pochettino also wants him at PSG.\nHowever, Messi has now made a stunning demand which could make or break the move. The forward wants Kylian Mbappe gone before he will sign.\nFor PSG to afford Aguero and Messi together, Messi believes the Frenchman must go due to his wages. The Barcelona captain earns close to 100 million Euros a year at his current club and will expect the Ligue 1 giants to match that salary at the very least.\nReal Madrid are interested in Mbappe and could play in a key role in completing PSG’s revolution. The Whites are already working on his signing for the summer, which could be enough to fulfil Messi’s wishes.\nSPORTSLENS VIEW:\nMessi is certainly one of the world’s greatest players but, at 33, Barca must not continue paying him as much as they do.\nThe player is in the final years of his career, and the Blaugrana have to move on from their reliance on him. The club’s financial crisis comes as a blessing in disguise because it may allow the youth to step up and show their quality.\nPSG, on the other hand, are playing a perilous game. Aguero has been prone to injuries lately and is already 32, whereas Messi, as stated above, is 33.\nThe Ligue 1 giants are sacrificing arguably the world’s best young talent to make way for two players who will be at the top of their game for barely a few more years.\nBarcelona did bend their back to keep Messi happy in the past, and the latest move from PSG seems to be a similar path they are taking to keep Neymar happy.\nOnly time will tell whether or not this has been successful or not. What is your opinion?",
"Messi makes a sensational demand to leave Barcelona for PSG",

Report: Tottenham Hotspur keen on Stuttgart forward and Leeds United target Nicolas Gonzalez
| null | null |
sportslens.com
|
According to The Athletic’s David Ornstein, Tottenham Hotspur have held recent discussions to sign Stuttgart winger Nicolas Gonzalez ahead of the summer transfer window, but all talks are at a preliminary stage at the moment.
Juventus are also keen on the Argentine, while Leeds United were one of the teams linked with him during the transfer window last summer.
Gonzalez helped Stuttgart seal promotion from the Bundesliga 2 last term, bagging 14 goals and three assists in 27 games, and his impressive form has continued in the German top-flight, with five goals and two assists to his name in 10 league games so far.
With no release clause in his new deal, Stuttgart would be seeking a fee in the region of £27 million, and that shouldn’t be a problem for Spurs and co.
Tottenham head coach Jose Mourinho will be keen to add quality depth to his attacking ranks at the end of the season, and a move for Gonzalez could be on the cards.
The Portuguese is expecting a quiet transfer window this month having expressed satisfaction with the depth of his current squad, but movements in and out of the club are expected in the summer.
Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa was looking to sign Gonzalez in order to bolster his striking options last summer, but a move didn’t work out.
Patrick Bamford has impressed so far this term, bagging 10 goals in 17 EPL appearances, but the 27-year-old could do with a quality cover and competition going forward.
The versatile Gonzalez plays across the forward line and has continued to attract European bigwigs as a result of his huge potential and finishing prowess.
He is only 22 and will only get better going forward, and a move to the Premier League could happen next summer.
Whether that will be to Tottenham or Leeds remains to be seen, though.

Predicted Arsenal starting line-up vs West Brom
| null | null |
sportslens.com
|
Arsenal will travel to Hawthorns to face West Bromwich Albion on Saturday night, and you can watch this and other Premier League games live online.
Kick-off: 20:00 BST
Tv Info: The match will be shown on BT Sport 1
The Gunners have moved to 13th in the Premier League with two straight wins, and are favourites to get a third league win in a row against the struggling Baggies who are 19th in the table.
This is the team we expect Arteta to use against West Brom:
Goalkeeper: Bernd Leno, the first-choice keeper, is expected to keep his place in goal.
Defence: Gabriel Magalhaes continues his quarantine after testing positive for Covid-19, and he will miss this fixture. With David Luiz also doubtful, Rob Holding and Pablo Mari are expected to continue their central defensive partnership.
Midfield: Thomas Partey, the big-money summer signing, still remains sidelined for the Gunners. Mohamed Elneny and Granit Xhaka are likely to continue in the middle of the park along with Emile Smith Rowe, who has impressed heavily with his sharp movement and intricate passing.
Forward: Gabriel Martinelli is an exciting young player who sparks life and energy to the attack. However, the 19-year-old has recently returned from a long injury lay-off and could be rested for this one. Alexandre Lacazette is in good form at the moment, while Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is likely to start on the flanks. Bukayo Saka picked up a knock in the last game, but Arteta is confident that the youngster will be able to shake it off.
Predicted Arsenal starting line-up: Leno, Bellerin, Tierney, Holding, Mari, Elneny, Xhaka, Smith Rowe, Saka, Lacazette, Aubameyang.

Arsenal manager ready to sanction loan move for Reiss Nelson
| null | null |
sportslens.com
|
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed that Reiss Nelson could be amongst the players allowed to leave the club on loan before the end of January.
The 21-year-old has made just two Premier League appearances for the Gunners this season and may be given the chance to secure game time elsewhere.
“That’s a conversation that we are having with the players that are not having a lot of time,” Arteta said at his press conference for Arsenal’s upcoming game against Manchester United.
“Obviously we want to keep their development going, and we will make a decision in the next three days with some of them on what the best thing is to do.
“We try to be clear and transparent with what the plans are and their roles in the team and, after that, we decide on the best thing for the players and the club.”
SL View
Nelson is a player with tremendous ability, but he needs to be playing regularly if he is to fulfil his potential.
The winger impressed during a loan spell with Hoffenheim to seasons ago, but his progress has stalled since then.
Injuries haven’t helped his cause, and he has been overshadowed by the likes of Buyako Saka and Emile Smith Rowe in recent times.
A temporary move to a Championship club could be hugely beneficial and boost Nelson’s chances of establishing himself with Arsenal next season.

Report: Villarreal plotting move for Newcastle United's Javier Manquillo
| null | null |
sportslens.com
|
According to AS, Villarreal are eyeing a move for Newcastle United defender Javier Manquillo before the end of the January transfer window.
The La Liga side are set to be without £80 million-rated and Liverpool-linked Samuel Chukwueze for the next three months, with the Nigerian winger expected to go under the knife after suffering a groin injury.
The Yellow Submarine are also without Gerard Moreno and right-back Mario Gaspar, and manager Unai Emery wants a player capable of playing on the wings and at the back in order to provide cover for the trio with a single signing.
Villarreal have had to deploy left-back Jaume Costa and centre-back Juan Foyth as right wingers in recent matches with Ruben Pena their only fit option, and they will need to bolster the department this month in order to ensure that they do not finish the campaign below their current position (fourth).
Sportslens View
Manquillo has only played eight games across all competitions for Newcastle this term, with all of them coming at right-back.
The former Liverpool man can also play on the left, and it is not a surprise that his versatility has attracted Villarreal.
The 26-year-old could be keen to return home and to the La Liga having played for Atletico Madrid during the early days of his career, and the fact that Emery’s men could be playing in the Champions League next term could also lure him into moving.
Manquillo signed a new four-year deal to remain at Newcastle last June, and Villarreal might find it difficult to prise him away from St. James’ Park right now.
While the Spaniard is not a frequent name on head coach Steve Bruce’s team sheet, the Magpies cannot afford to lose him given the quality cover that he provides at full-back, and suitors would have to table a juicy bid to tempt them.

Derek McInnes confirms Rangers interest in Scott Wright
| null | null |
sportslens.com
|
Rangers have reportedly made contact to bring Scott Wright to Ibrox this month.
Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes has confirmed that he held talks with Steven Gerrard, the Gers boss, about Wright’s potential move to Ibrox last week.
The Ibrox club have informed the Dons about their intention to sign the 23-year-old attacker after Sunday’s Premiership clash.
According to reports from the Daily Record, the Gers want to sign Wright on a pre-contract agreement, but the Dons are happy to organise a permanent deal as well.
“There has been a conversation at boardroom level,” said McInnes, as quoted by the Daily Record.
“I spoke to Steven yesterday, he called me to say that they would have an interest in Scott on a pre-contract and wanted to do things properly.
“That is not always the case when it gets to players running out of contract.”
McInnes also revealed that the club tried to keep the player at Pittodrie, but they haven’t got any encouragement from the player and his agent.
He added: “I resigned myself that Scott was leaving anyway. We made our first offer to Scott in the first week in October and we have never had any encouragement from Scott or his agent.
“They never really gave us a chance of a counter offer so I have resigned myself over the last few months that the likelihood is he was leaving at the end of the season and nothing has really changed on that.”
SL View: Good signing for Rangers?
The Dons boss has revealed that Wright is a key player for them and that they don’t want to lose him. However, the winger wants to explore other options and it seems he could be on his way to Ibrox in the next few days.
The deal is more similar to that of Jordan Jones, a transfer born out of opportunity rather than extensive scouting.
His low profile may not excite the fan base, but he is a player of great potential. He has shown flashes of brilliance at Aberdeen and could become a real asset for Rangers if gets his feet under the table.
Wright is a creative player who is able to play on either flank or as a second striker. The only big concern about him is his injury record, having spent almost all of last season out with a knee injury.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer provides fitness update on Eric Bailly after Watford clash
| null | null |
sportslens.com
|
Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has provided a fitness update on Eric Bailly following the club’s 1-0 win over Watford in the FA Cup third round.
The Ivory Coast international has recently put up a string of impressive displays and he was handed a starting spot on Saturday where Solskjaer made numerous changes.
The centre-back had a comfortable opening half, but he was substituted prior to the interval after he received a nasty blow to his neck.
United goalkeeper Dean Henderson punched a cross from a Hornets corner, but while doing so, Bailly was accidentally kneed by him on the neck.
It was initially suggested that there may be concussion, but speaking after the game, Solskjaer has insisted that is not the case.
He added that the Ivorian had a sore neck and will be assessed ahead of the midweek league clash against Burnley on the road.
“There was no concussion. Apparently it was his neck, a sore neck, but he couldn’t carry on so let’s check on him tomorrow,” He told via the club’s official website.
United managed to beat by the solitary goal after Scott McTominay, who was named captain for the first time, scored with a delightful header in the fifth minute.
They will now shift their focus to the Premier League and have the chance to go top of the table ahead of Liverpool, should they pick up at least one point in their game in hand against Burnley.
Irrespective of whether Bailly is fit or not, it is most likely that Victor Lindelof and Harry Maguire will be picked ahead of him in the central defence for Tuesday night’s clash at Turf Moor.

West Ham linked with a move for Arkadiusz Milik
| null | null |
sportslens.com
|
Napoli striker Arkadiusz Milik has been linked with a move to West Ham United.
The Hammers recently sold Sebastien Haller to Ajax for a fee of around £20 million and they are thought to be in the market for a replacement.
The 26 year old Poland international will be a free agent at the end of this season and Napoli will probably look to offload him this month for a nominal fee.
Milik is no longer a key player for Napoli and he wasn’t even registered in their Serie A squad for the season.
According to Italian journalist Ciro Venerato, the player could move to West Ham or Marseille this month.
Apparently, Napoli are demanding a fee of more than €9 million and a percentage of the resale fee.
He said (via Spazio Napoli): “Milik can go to Olympique Marseille: the French club is the only club where the Pole can land. Napoli continues to ask for more than 9 million and there is also a problem with the percentage of resale. There’s also a chance he’ll go to West Ham: a chance offered by the DA”.
It remains to be seen whether West Ham can secure an agreement with the Italian outfit for the services of the Polish striker.
The 26-year-old is a proven goal scorer and he could be a superb addition to the West ham attack.
The Polish international has not played a single game for Napoli this season but he managed to score 14 goals for the Italian side last year and 20 goals the season before that.
The reported fee could prove to be a bargain for West Ham in the long run if Milik manages to adapt to the Premier League.

There’s also a chance he’ll go to West Ham: a chance offered by the DA”.\nIt remains to be seen whether West Ham can secure an agreement with the Italian outfit for the services of the Polish striker.\nThe 26-year-old is a proven goal scorer and he could be a superb addition to the West ham attack.\nThe Polish international has not played a single game for Napoli this season but he managed to score 14 goals for the Italian side last year and 20 goals the season before that.\nThe reported fee could prove to be a bargain for West Ham in the long run if Milik manages to adapt to the Premier League.",

Liverpool approach David Alaba's father and advisor
| null | null |
sportslens.com
|
Liverpool have entered the race to sign the Bayern Munich defender David Alaba.
The 28-year-old defender will be a free agent at the end of this season and it seems that the top European clubs are looking to sign him for a nominal fee this month.
According to Sport Bild, six European clubs have made their approach to sign the Austrian international.
Apparently, Liverpool have made their approach to the player’s father George and his advisor Pini Zahavi.
The Premier League champions are also looking at alternatives and Jurgen Klopp is exploring the German market.
Liverpool are in desperate need of defensive reinforcements right now after long term injuries to Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez.
Liverpool are currently left with Joel Matip as their only first-team centre back and midfielder Fabinho has had to fill in as a defender this season.
Matip is unreliable in terms of fitness and Liverpool must look to bring in a quality centre-back this month if they want to defend their Premier League title.
Alaba would certainly be an outstanding signing for the Reds. He has proven himself at the top level with the German giants and his versatility will be an added bonus for the Premier League champions.
The Austrian can play as a left-back, centre back and a defensive midfielder.
Liverpool could certainly use a durable and versatile player like David Alaba in their side right now. Apart from his quality as a footballer, he could be a leader in the dressing room as well.
Furthermore, the Austrian’s winning experience and mentality would be a welcome addition to the Liverpool dressing room.
Independent are however reporting that the Reds are unlikely to move for the Munich player. Liverpool appreciate his quality and versatility, but his lack of aerial presence and physicality is thought to be a concern.
The likes of Matip, Van Dijk and Gomez are all taller and more dominant in the air.

Real Madrid launch operation Kylian Mbappe as Los Blancos prepare a masterplan to sign the Paris Saint-Germain forward next summer transfer market.

Real Madrid launch operation Mbappe by axing several star players
| null | null |
sportslens.com
|
Real Madrid have once again set their sights on Kylian Mbappe. The French forward has been on the radar of Los Blancos for over three seasons.
The Daily Mail reports that Madrid has now come up with a plan called ‘Operation Mbappe’. Florentino Perez is adamant on the signing of the Frenchman and has drawn up a masterplan.
Los Blancos plan on generating a figure between 150-200 million Euros during the summer transfer market. The club has shortlisted six first-team players to be sold at the end of the season to garner funds.
Luka Jovic, Dani Ceballos, Gareth Bale, Isco, Marcelo and Brahim Diaz have been added to the list. The funds generated through these player sales will be used to secure Mbappe’s services.
Jovic is close to being loaned out to Eintracht Frankfurt for the rest of the season and the club is open to the idea of selling him as well. The same follows for Bale, Ceballos and Diaz who are currently out on loan.
Meanwhile, Isco could be sold to either Arsenal or Sevilla. Marcelo also has an offer from Juventus to reunite with his former teammate, Cristiano Ronaldo.
Mbappe is contracted to PSG until the summer of 2022. The French club does not want to risk losing Mbappe on a free transfer next year and could possibly consider selling him this summer.
SPORTSLENS VIEW
‘Operation Mbappe’ may not actually go to plan as Madrid have expected. The market value of the six players to be sold is equivalent to 116 million euros, according to Transfermarkt – less than what it would cost to buy Mbappe.
Another issue would be trying to sell Bale and Jovic. The two Madrid forwards are amongst the best-paid players at the club but their performances have been below-par for the past two seasons.
From Mbappe’s perspective, the French forward would prefer continuing at PSG instead of a move to the Spanish capital. Sky Sports – one of the best sports news sources available – suggest that Madrid are in pole position in their pursuit of Mbappe, but will the financial aspect be enough when Mbappe is still young?
Madrid are in no shape to contend for the UEFA Champions League, while Mauricio’s Pochettino’s side looks like real contenders this time around.
Can this masterplan called ‘Operation Mbappe’ actually materialise for Madrid next summer?

| null | null |

Celtic host Hibernian in the Scottish Premiership later tonight and they will be looking to pick up a win and close the gap on league leaders Rangers.
Celtic were beaten by Rangers 1-0 in their last league game and they will be desperate to get back to winning ways.
Meanwhile, Hibernian are coming into this game on the back of three consecutive league defeats and they will be under pressure to turn their form around.
Celtic have an impressive home record against Hibernian and will be hoping to extend that tonight. The Hoops have won their last six home games against today’s opponents in all competitions.
Furthermore, they have managed to win 23 of their last 26 league games at home and the fans will be expecting a comfortable victory.
Celtic are currently 22 points behind the league leaders, although they have four matches in hand.
Neil Lennon will demand a strong performance from his players and it remains to be seen if the Hoops can step up and deliver.
Predicted Celtic starting line-up: Barkas, Frimpong, Ajer, Duffy, Laxalt, Soro, Christie, Turnbull, McGregor, Edouard, Griffiths
Duffy is expected to be the only change to Neil Lennon’s side for tonight’s game. The 29-year-old centre-back should come in to replace Nir Bitton, who picked up a red card against Rangers in the last outing.

Fabrizio Romano: Aston Villa open negotiation to sign Morgan Sanson

Aston Villa are looking to secure the signing of Marseille midfielder Morgan Sanson in the January transfer window, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The reputed Italian journalist has claimed on Twitter that Villa ‘confident’ of completing the signing of the 26-year-old midfielder.
Villa have entered negotiations with the French club, and they are looking to find an agreement with the French club (and with the player) in the next few days.
We covered yesterday that Sanson is expected to cost in the region of £13-18m, and Marseille are looking to use the money to sign Arkadiusz Krystian from Napoli.
Aston Villa are confident to complete the signing of Sanson from OM in the next few days – negotiation opened also to find the agreement on personal terms. #avfc …meanwhile, OM are working to sort out last details with Napoli and then announce the signing of Arek Milik. 🇫🇷 https://t.co/GvqjwgbMjU — Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) January 19, 2021
SL View: Smart move from Villa
The Athletic journalist Gregg Evans reported yesterday that Villa are hoping to finalise a deal for the midfielder and they are in talks to get the deal done.
The likes of Wolverhampton Wanderers, Crystal Palace and West Ham have shown an interest previously but Villa are pressing ahead with a move for the Frenchman.
Meanwhile, Villa are looking to offload Conor Hourihane this month.
A host of Championship clubs have registered an interest in the 29-year-old midfielder who has scored 29 goals in 150 games since signing for Villa for just £1.5 million from Barnsley in 2017.
It seems Villa are looking to replace him with a top-quality player, and they would be able to do so if they land Sanson.
The midfielder has scored 25 goals and provided 22 assists in 156 games for the French top-flight side, and has been a key player for Marseille since joining the club in 2017.

Southampton striker in no rush to resolve his future with the club
| null | null |
sportslens.com
|
Southampton striker Danny Ings will take time to consider whether he wants to sign a new deal with the club.
Ings’ current deal expires at the end of next season and numerous other clubs are believed to be interested in securing his services.
Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly monitoring the situation, while Ings is believed to favour a move to Manchester United.
However, according to Sky Sports’ reporter Kaveh Solhekol, the 28-year-old is in no hurry to make a decision on his future.
“I think Danny Ings wants to take his time before signing any Southampton deal – he knows other clubs are potentially interested in signing him,” he said.
“This is a delicate one. I don’t think this is anything to do with finances, more to do with the fact this could be the last big contract Danny Ings signs, and he knows other clubs are interested. So the question is: could he move to a Champions League club?
“I don’t think he is in a rush to leave Southampton, but it is a question of leaving options open at the minute.”
SL View
Ings has turned his career around at Southampton after enduring a nightmare spell with Liverpool.
He has bagged 40 goals in 81 appearances for the south coast club and is undoubtedly one of the first names on their team sheet.
While moving to the likes of Spurs or United may seem tempting, it is unlikely that Ings would be a first-team regular with either club.
On that basis, Ings would be well advised to stay loyal to Southampton and help them continue their recent improvement in the Premier League.

Lionel Messi set for Barcelona exit as potential president stalls winning project
| null | null |
sportslens.com
|
Lionel Messi is keen on spending the twilight of his career at the very top level and would not be compromising on winning potential to stay at Barcelona post this summer.
Barcelona continue to be in financial trouble, but their biggest objective for the foreseeable future remains to extend Messi’s contract. With six months left, Messi is free to speak to other clubs outside Spain but is open to staying longer if the project interests him.
Messi has repeatedly said that he wants the clubs to have a sustainable, long-term winning project and has spoken of his disappointment at the Blaugrana’s lack of success in Europe in the last few years. According to Don Balon, Messi’s chances of staying at Camp Nou have lessened based on one of the presidential candidate’s announced transfer strategy.
Victor Font, who is in the running to be the Barcelona president, has entirely ruled out Neymar’s arrival at the Camp Nou. The candidate did mention in the past that the club’s financial position and the need to revamp the squad simply does not allow them to look at the Brazilian’s return and not to mention, the fiasco he created while leaving has not been easily forgotten by a number of seniors either.
Lionel Messi recently mentioned in an interview that the proposition of Neymar would be an extremely difficult prospect for the club given their financial situation, but he remains hopeful of playing next to his former teammate sooner rather than later. Joan Laporta on the other hand is confident about landing the PSG forward down the line.
A decision made by Font if he is elected as the chief may be influential in determining Messi’s future because the Argentine had previously stated that he sees Neymar as his own heir at the Camp Nou. On the other hand, he will be looking for spending assurances more than just around Neymar’s acquisition, and Font’s pragmatic approach to spending will not help him convince Messi of Barcelona’s future chances of lifting the Champions League trophy.
What do you think the future holds as far as the Barca board is concerned? And will Messi stay at Camp Nou beyond this summer?

Kerala Blasters 2-4 Odisha FC: Report, Ratings & Reaction as the Kalinga Warriors Finally Win Against the Biblically Bad Blasters
| null | null |
sportslens.com
|
Odisha FC equalised in the 23rd minute, though as some defensive lapses allowed Diego Maurício to advance to the right byline, and his cross was deflected behind Albino Gomes and into his own net by Jeakson Thounaojam.
Kerala had a chance to respond immediately when Vicente Gómez had a free header at the far post when he was picked out by Facundo Pereyra’s cross, but he missed wide. Soon thereafter, Rahul KP burst into the box and pulled the trigger, but his deflected effort was well-saved by Arshdeep Singh.
Diego Maurício came close to taking the lead for his side in the 34th minute when he hit a first-time half-volley from close-range towards the near post, but it was well kept out by the strong hand of Albino Gomes.
Odisha FC took the lead in the 42nd minute when Steven Taylor crept in unmarked at the far post and rolled Jerry Mawihmingthanga’s free-kick past the keeper.
A couple of minutes later, Albino Gomes palmed Jacob Tratt’s cross away, but it only broke for Daniel Lalhlimpuia, who dragged his effort just wide of the bottom corner.
Less than two minutes into the second half, Diego Maurício slipped the ball across to Jerry Mawihmingthanga on the right of the box, and the Indian forward only had the keeper to beat, but he missed high.
Three minutes later, though, Jerry brilliantly slipped Maurício through on goal, and the Brazilian forward poked his finish past Albino Gomes to make it 3-1.
Just before the hour-mark, Diego Maurício scored again as he cut inside from the left, beat two defenders and picked out the bottom corner from outside the box.
Facundo Pereyra came close to pulling one back in the 63rd minute when he smashed a shot from distance, but Arshdeep Singh kept it out with a strong save. Two minutes later at the other end, a well-worked corner by Odisha FC saw Maurício flick the ball on with a header, but Albino Gomes somehow managed to tip it onto the crossbar.
Gary Hooper pulled one back for the Blasters in the 79th minute when Jordan Murray found him inside the box with a low cross, and his deflected effort rolled into the bottom corner.
In the last minute of normal time, Rohit Kumar had a free header at the back post after a corner as the keeper missed the ball altogether when he came out to punch it, but he only rattled the woodwork.
That goal meant little in the end, though, as Odisha FC came away with a huge 4-2 win.
KERALA BLASTERS
Key Talking Point
A Sack-Worthy Performance
The departure of Carles Cuadrat meant that some other underperforming managers also came under yet more pressure, and Kibu Vicuña was certainly one of them.
The Spanish tactician picked an all-Indian defence for the second time this season, having kept a clean sheet with them against Hyderabad FC. Things started off well for his side as they took the lead within seven minutes, and for the next quarter of an hour, they preserved that advantage too. Things started to unravel thereafter, and it was all kicked off by some poor defending which led to an unfortunate own goal.
There was no element of luck involved when Odisha took the lead from a set-piece when the Kerala defence was caught napping as Steven Taylor ghosted in unmarked at the far post, and worse yet, this was just before half-time. Things didn’t get much better on the other side of the break either when even more shocking defending allowed Odisha FC to make it four.
Kerala Blasters
1. Porous defence
2. Individual mistakes

4. Reacts a bit late to adversity While the coach will cop a lot of blame, the players really have to concentrate and deliver. Take individual accountability on field. #ISL #KBFCOFC — Sandeep Menon (@SandynoneM) January 7, 2021
This was a horrendous all-round display from Kerala Blasters – one which may well cost their manager his job.

ODISHA FC
Key Talking Point
Persistence Rewarded
Odisha FC had failed to win any of their first eight matches this season – the worst-ever start for any ISL side – yet Stuart Baxter kept his faith in a near-unchanged lineup.
One of the crucial changes he made tonight, though, was switching to a 4-4-2. The idea was to play Manuel Onwu up top alongside Diego Maurício, but that plan went out of the window just a few minutes before kickoff as the former picked up an injury in the warmup. Things went from bad to worse seven minutes into the match, when the away side conceded following some poor defending.
Things massively changed after that, as a bit of luck saw the Kalinga Warriors equalise through an own goal. Then, some more gifts from their opponents allowed them to take the lead through Steven Taylor before half-time, meaning that they took a lead into the second half for the first time this season. Stuart Baxter’s side built on it too, going 4-1 up before an hour’s worth of football was played.
First win of the season for @OdishaFC & what a way to do it 🔥 #KBFCOFC — Nisanth (@nisanthwrites) January 7, 2021
Despite conceding once again, Odisha FC cruised home thereafter, finally getting their first win of the season.

Diego Maurício
After lighting the league up with an absolutely brilliant brace against Jamshedpur FC on matchday 2, Diego Maurício’s season started to cool down.
He returned with the heat tonight, though, as he blew away the Kerala Blasters defence. The Brazilian forward played a crucial part in his side’s first goal as his cross was deflected in for an own goal, but after that, he did it all by himself. He chased and finished a through ball early on in the second half to make it 3-1, before adding to his tally with a great solo effort.
Diego Mauricio is playing like a 12th std bully against random 5th std boys at lunch break. Leave the kids alone, Diego! They just want to play. — Anirudh Menon (@AnirudhMenon89) January 7, 2021
The 29-year-old striker bagged his brace from 4/6 shots on target, hit the crossbar once, got 54 touches, created 2 chances, won 4/5 duels and completed 81% of his passes in an outstanding display.
What a man, what a performance, and what a win for Odisha.
What This Means:
Kerala Blasters stay in 10th, while Odisha FC also remain at the bottom of the table, but they have closed the gap between themselves and their opponents down to just one point. Diego Maurício’s second brace of the season and Steven Taylor’s second goal of the season secured the points for Stuart Baxter’s side, while Gary Hooper’s first open play goal of the season counted for nothing.

"Odisha FC equalised in the 23rd minute, though as some defensive lapses allowed Diego Maurício to advance to the right byline, and his cross was deflected behind Albino Gomes and into his own net by Jeakson Thounaojam.\nKerala had a chance to respond immediately when Vicente Gómez had a free header at the far post when he was picked out by Facundo Pereyra’s cross, but he missed wide. Soon thereafter, Rahul KP burst into the box and pulled the trigger, but his deflected effort was well-saved by Arshdeep Singh.\nDiego Maurício came close to taking the lead for his side in the 34th minute when he hit a first-time half-volley from close-range towards the near post, but it was well kept out by the strong hand of Albino Gomes.\nOdisha FC took the lead in the 42nd minute when Steven Taylor crept in unmarked at the far post and rolled Jerry Mawihmingthanga’s free-kick past the keeper.\nA couple of minutes later, Albino Gomes palmed Jacob Tratt’s cross away, but it only broke for Daniel Lalhlimpuia, who dragged his effort just wide of the bottom corner.\nLess than two minutes into the second half, Diego Maurício slipped the ball across to Jerry Mawihmingthanga on the right of the box, and the Indian forward only had the keeper to beat, but he missed high.\nThree minutes later, though, Jerry brilliantly slipped Maurício through on goal, and the Brazilian forward poked his finish past Albino Gomes to make it 3-1.\nJust before the hour-mark, Diego Maurício scored again as he cut inside from the left, beat two defenders and picked out the bottom corner from outside the box.\nFacundo Pereyra came close to pulling one back in the 63rd minute when he smashed a shot from distance, but Arshdeep Singh kept it out with a strong save. Two minutes later at the other end, a well-worked corner by Odisha FC saw Maurício flick the ball on with a header, but Albino Gomes somehow managed to tip it onto the crossbar.\nGary Hooper pulled one back for the Blasters in the 79th minute when Jordan Murray found him inside the box with a low cross, and his deflected effort rolled into the bottom corner.\nIn the last minute of normal time, Rohit Kumar had a free header at the back post after a corner as the keeper missed the ball altogether when he came out to punch it, but he only rattled the woodwork.\nThat goal meant little in the end, though, as Odisha FC came away with a huge 4-2 win.\nKERALA BLASTERS\nKey Talking Point\nA Sack-Worthy Performance\nThe departure of Carles Cuadrat meant that some other underperforming managers also came under yet more pressure, and Kibu Vicuña was certainly one of them.\nThe Spanish tactician picked an all-Indian defence for the second time this season, having kept a clean sheet with them against Hyderabad FC. Things started off well for his side as they took the lead within seven minutes, and for the next quarter of an hour, they preserved that advantage too. Things started to unravel thereafter, and it was all kicked off by some poor defending which led to an unfortunate own goal.\nThere was no element of luck involved when Odisha took the lead from a set-piece when the Kerala defence was caught napping as Steven Taylor ghosted in unmarked at the far post, and worse yet, this was just before half-time. Things didn’t get much better on the other side of the break either when even more shocking defending allowed Odisha FC to make it four.\nKerala Blasters\n1. Porous defence\n2.

Celtic prepared to sell Olivier Ntcham for just £7m
| null | null |
sportslens.com

Celtic midfielder Olivier Ntcham has been linked with a move away from the Scottish club this month.
It appears that the Scottish champions are willing to cash in on him for a fee of around £7 million. Initially, the player was valued at around £12m.
According to Football Insider, Celtic have given the green light regarding a potential transfer.
SL View: Time for both parties to move on?
The 24-year-old has been linked with Premier League clubs in recent months.
Ntcham is in the final 18 months of his contract and Celtic are looking to recoup as much as possible for him.
His form has dipped in recent months and he is no longer a key player for Celtic.
The Scottish outfit are aware of the fact that they will not be able to sell him for big money and therefore they are looking to cut their losses on him.
The France under-21 international has started just seven league games this season and he needs to move away from Celtic in order to play regular first-team football.
It remains to be seen whether his suitors are willing to pay the £7m asking price for him before the transfer window ends.
There is no doubt that the Frenchman is immensely talented and he could develop into a quality player in future.
Ntcham has picked up 24 goals and 13 assists during since joining the Scottish outfit in 2017.
Perhaps a fresh start at another club will help Ntcham regain his best form. Clearly, the player is not indispensable for Celtic anymore and it makes sense for both parties to part ways.

Allan Saint-Maximin reacts to Newcastle result on Twitter
| null | null |
sportslens.com

Newcastle United ended up on the losing side once again last night and their winless run has now extended to 11 matches in all competitions.
Winger Allan Saint-Maximin has shared his reaction on Twitter after the game and it would be fair to assume that most of the Newcastle fans will feel the same way after last night’s result.
Saint-Maximin wrote:
The Magpies were quite poor against Leeds United and, despite the 2-1 scoreline, they did not manage to put the visitors under too much pressure.
It’s not just the momentum and confidence that is missing from Newcastle’s performances. They are also lacking in drive and effort.
They will have to work harder to improve their current run of form. Newcastle are seven points clear of the drop zone right now but could find themselves in the relegation battle soon.
Steve Bruce will be hoping that he can transform his team’s fortunes in the coming weeks, but the Newcastle boss needs to get his team selection correct in order to get the most out of his players.
Bruce chose to start Jeff Hendrick last night despite the 28-year-old behind in abysmal form. His best midfielder Isaac Hayden was played out of position.
Leeds could have easily added to their tally on another day and fans will be expecting the players to step up and take more responsibility for the recent run of form.

'It wouldn’t be a short-term solution': Liverpool boss won’t panic buy
| null | null |
sportslens.com
|
Jurgen Klopp says that he is not interested in a ‘short-term solution’ to Liverpool’s defensive injury crisis.
The Reds are currently without a fit senior centre-back following injuries to Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip.
The club has been linked with a plethora of defenders over the past few weeks including Ozan Kabak, David Alaba, Sergio Ramos and Sven Botman.
However, in his press conference ahead of the FA Cup third round tie at Aston Villa, the Liverpool boss said that it was unlikely he would sign someone during the January transfer window.
“I cannot say definitely we will not bring one in, it’s just not likely because of the situation in the world,” said Klopp.
“We should not forget that the situation is a tough one for all people and for football clubs as well.
“There might be some clubs with absolutely no financial problems, but this club is always very responsible with the things we do.
“If the world would have been in a normal place and the club was in the best possible situation, with three senior centre-halves plus Fabinho and (Naby) Keita all injured, is that a situation where usually we would do something? Yes, definitely.
“But, we are not in that situation so I don’t know if something will happen or not. Maybe you could do something, but it wouldn’t be a short-term solution. That’s not right because it doesn’t help really.
“We have to deal with the situation, as we have done so far, and get through this. It’s not the best moment for the whole planet, so why should it be for a football club?”
Klopp also confirmed that there had been no movement on Georgino Wijnaldum’s contract, with the midfielder still stalling over a decision on his future.

Report: Rangers plan to move for Scott Wright in January
| null | null |
sportslens.com
|
Rangers are looking to bring Aberdeen forward Scott Wright to Ibrox in the January transfer window, according to reports from Sky Sports.
The Gers are enjoying a phenomenal season and are enjoying a healthy 22 point lead at the top in the Scottish Premier League table.
Steven Gerrard’s team have now made it 15 league wins in a row following their latest 2-1 victory against Aberdeen and are looking favourites to secure their first title since 2011.
Wright – who recently returned from a six-week layoff after suffering a double hernia – started the game for the Dons on Sunday.
Sky Sports claim that Rangers are looking to do a deal for Wright this window. The 23-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season and he is yet to agree terms on a new deal at Pittodrie.
Rangers could offer the 23-year-old a pre-contract, but the Gers are looking to sign him now.
SL View: Freeing up space
Wright is an exciting winger who can play across the front three.
Aberdeen want him to stay but he has decided that he wants to explore other options.
Rangers could offload the likes of George Edmundson and Jordan Jones, while Greg Stewart is free to find a new club.
Stewart is in the final six months of his contract and he is set to leave Ibrox after dropping down the pecking order.
Wright will be a good addition to the Rangers squad. He is a versatile winger who will add depth and quality to the side. The player is unlikely to sign a new deal at Aberdeen, and a move to Ibrox looks highly likely.

Every player from the Premier League, Serie A, La Liga, Bundesliga, and Ligue 1 who has recorded at least five nutmegs this season.

Neymar, Sancho, and more - the nutmeg kings of Europe
| null | null |
sportslens.com
|
Everyone (and I mean EVERYONE) loves a good nutmeg. There is rarely anything more satisfying than seeing a player humiliate a fellow professional with an obscene piece of skill.
And, in an age where every single millisecond of action is recorded and translated into statistics, we can now figure out who the best nutmeggers in the world of football are.
As reported by fbref, here is every player with five or more nutmegs in each of Europe’s top five leagues. And, rather surprisingly, Lionel Messi doesn’t make it in. Not that it’ll be of any consolation to James Milner.
5 Nutmegs
11 players have got exactly five nutmegs so far this season. Paris Saint-Germain’s Kylian Mbappe is the biggest name in here, with Bayern Munich’s Leroy Sane also falling into this category.
The full list of players with exactly five nutmegs looks like this:
Kylian Mbappe (Paris Saint-Germain)
Youri Tielemans (Leicester City)
Leroy Sane (Bayern Munich)
Amin Younes (Eintracht Frankfurt)
Hamed Junior Traore (Sassuolo)
Leonardo Spinazzola (Roma)
Junior Messias (Crotone)
Bryan (Eibar)
Raul Guti (Elche)
Javier Ontiveros (Huesca)
Jose Morales (Levante)
6 Nutmegs
There are nine players in Europe’s top five leagues who have racked up exactly six nutmegs this term, with five of them coming from the Premier League. In fact, no player in English football’s top flight has registered more than six nutmegs.
Meanwhile, no one in Spain has hit six yet, so well done to La Liga’s defenders, I guess.
Angel Di Maria (Paris Saint-Germain)
Daniel Podence (Wolverhampton Wanderers)
Marcus Rashford (Manchester United)
Matheus Pereira (West Bromwich Albion)
Richarlison (Everton)
Ademola Lookman (Fulham)
Moussa Diaby (Bayer Leverkusen)
Leonardo Bittencourt (Werder Bremen)
Filip Duricic (Sassuolo)
7+ Nutmegs
Achraf Hakimi (Inter Milan) – Narrowly missing out on a podium place is Inter Milan’s Achraf Hakimi. The Moroccan wing-back has a total of seven nutmegs this season.
Piotr Zielinski (Napoli) – No player in Serie A has accumulated as many nutmegs as the Poland international, who has eight. This puts him in third place from Europe’s biggest leagues.
Jadon Sancho (Borussia Dortmund) – Man Utd may already have the Premier League’s top nutmegger, but they could have had the second best in Europe. A lot has been made of Sancho’s form this season, but the winger has ten nutmegs this season, four clear of anyone else in the Bundesliga.
Neymar (Paris Saint-Germain) – With Mbappe and Di Maria already making this list, playing against PSG must be a defender’s nightmare. It’s no surprise that the tricky Brazilian is at the top of the nutmeg charts, recording 12 nutmegs.

There is rarely anything more satisfying than seeing a player humiliate a fellow professional with an obscene piece of skill.\nAnd, in an age where every single millisecond of action is recorded and translated into statistics, we can now figure out who the best nutmeggers in the world of football are.\nAs reported by fbref, here is every player with five or more nutmegs in each of Europe’s top five leagues. And, rather surprisingly, Lionel Messi doesn’t make it in. Not that it’ll be of any consolation to James Milner.\n5 Nutmegs\n11 players have got exactly five nutmegs so far this season. Paris Saint-Germain’s Kylian Mbappe is the biggest name in here, with Bayern Munich’s Leroy Sane also falling into this category.\nThe full list of players with exactly five nutmegs looks like this:\nKylian Mbappe (Paris Saint-Germain)\nYouri Tielemans (Leicester City)\nLeroy Sane (Bayern Munich)\nAmin Younes (Eintracht Frankfurt)\nHamed Junior Traore (Sassuolo)\nLeonardo Spinazzola (Roma)\nJunior Messias (Crotone)\nBryan (Eibar)\nRaul Guti (Elche)\nJavier Ontiveros (Huesca)\nJose Morales (Levante)\n6 Nutmegs\nThere are nine players in Europe’s top five leagues who have racked up exactly six nutmegs this term, with five of them coming from the Premier League. In fact, no player in English football’s top flight has registered more than six nutmegs.\nMeanwhile, no one in Spain has hit six yet, so well done to La Liga’s defenders, I guess.\nAngel Di Maria (Paris Saint-Germain)\nDaniel Podence (Wolverhampton Wanderers)\nMarcus Rashford (Manchester United)\nMatheus Pereira (West Bromwich Albion)\nRicharlison (Everton)\nAdemola Lookman (Fulham)\nMoussa Diaby (Bayer Leverkusen)\nLeonardo Bittencourt (Werder Bremen)\nFilip Duricic (Sassuolo)\n7+ Nutmegs\nAchraf Hakimi (Inter Milan) – Narrowly missing out on a podium place is Inter Milan’s Achraf Hakimi. The Moroccan wing-back has a total of seven nutmegs this season.\nPiotr Zielinski (Napoli) – No player in Serie A has accumulated as many nutmegs as the Poland international, who has eight. This puts him in third place from Europe’s biggest leagues.\nJadon Sancho (Borussia Dortmund) – Man Utd may already have the Premier League’s top nutmegger, but they could have had the second best in Europe. A lot has been made of Sancho’s form this season, but the winger has ten nutmegs this season, four clear of anyone else in the Bundesliga.\nNeymar (Paris Saint-Germain) – With Mbappe and Di Maria already making this list, playing against PSG must be a defender’s nightmare. It’s no surprise that the tricky Brazilian is at the top of the nutmeg charts, recording 12 nutmegs.",
"Neymar, Sancho, and more - the nutmeg kings of Europe",
"Every player from the Premier League, Serie A, La Liga, Bundesliga, and Ligue 1 who has recorded at least five nutmegs this season."

Real Madrid flop Luka Jovic is set to return to former club Eintracht Frankfurt, where he enjoyed his best spell as a footballer.

Luka Jovic set for return to former club

Real Madrid outcast Luka Jovic is set to return to Eintracht Frankfurt on loan, reports journalist Fabrizio Romano on Twitter.
Jovic has endured an underwhelming spell at Los Blancos following his €60 million transfer in the summer window of 2019. He has scored just twice for the Spanish giants in all competitions, making just six La Liga starts in the last 18 months.
However, prior to his move to the Bernabeu, the Serbian was one of the world’s most sought after young strikers, bagging 27 goals in 48 appearances for Frankfurt.
And now it looks like Jovic is set to return to the club where he made his name, with transfer expert Romano confirming on Twitter that a deal had been agreed to send him back to the Bundesliga side on loan.
The Serbia international is unlikely to get many more opportunities at Zinedine Zidane’s side. Karim Benzema is still very much the club’s number one choice up front, with Dominican striker Mariano Diaz being Zidane’s favoured back up option.
Furthermore, Madrid are La Liga’s third top scorers this season, behind only arch-rivals Barcelona and table-toppers Atletico Madrid. Because of this, Jovic will likely be viewed as surplus to requirements, and getting him off the wage bill will be useful.
In contrast, Frankfurt have been shy in front of goal this term. Only Wolfsburg have scored fewer than their 25 in the Bundesliga’s current top ten, and Portuguese forward Andre Silva has netted almost half of their league goals. A new striker will be necessary to take the weight off his shoulders.
Romano reports that Madrid will pay part of Jovic’s salary while he is at Frankfurt. On the whole, this is a move that suits all parties.

Pundits predict Tottenham star will be subject of summer transfer battle

Tottenham Hotspur could face a fight to retain the services of Toby Alderweireld this summer.
The Belgian is enjoying an excellent season with Spurs having established himself as a first-choice centre-back under manager Jose Mourinho.
However, pundits featuring in the latest Kick-off podcast by De Telegraaf claimed that PSV Eindhoven have already been in touch with his agent over a return to the Netherlands.
It was also suggested that PSV’s hopes of signing the defender could be dashed if his former club Ajax decided to submit an offer.
SL View – Toby Alderweireld
The 31-year-old is under contract until 2023, so it would be a surprise if Spurs allowed him to leave this summer.
He has been in fine form under Mourinho, and it would take a significant offer to tempt the Portuguese into selling Alderweireld.
The Spurs boss tends to favour having experience amongst his defensive unit, and the Belgian clearly possesses that with more than 450 senior career appearances to his name.
The possible interest from Ajax has the potential to have an impact on proceedings, with Alderweireld previously admitting that he would like to return to his former club before the end of his career.
The club has also been linked with Real Madrid’s Eder Militao, and his arrival could be another factor that changes the landscape.

Chris Sutton reacts as Celtic's Jeremie Frimpong edges closer to Bayer Leverkusen move
| null | null |
sportslens.com

Celtic right-back Jeremie Frimpong is on the verge of joining Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen in the coming days having travelled to Germany to seal the deal.
Hoops boss Neil Lennon revealed that the 20-year-old told him he wants to leave Parkhead this month and will not be signing a new deal.
Celtic and Leverkusen appear to have struck a deal, and the Manchester City academy graduate will now look to impress in Germany once the move goes through.
Frimpong joined the Scottish Premiership giants for around £300,000 in the summer of 2019, and he has since established himself as a regular player in Lennon’s starting XI.
Celtic are set to make a huge profit from his sales, and Hoops legend Chris Sutton has reacted thus on Twitter as he edges to an exit:
£11.5 Frimpong to Leverkusen… that’s a lot based on this season’s performances… — Chris Sutton (@chris_sutton73) January 26, 2021
Sportslens View
The Dutch youngster signed a four-year contract when he joined Celtic in a deal that could rise to £1 million, given various clauses that could be activated, including first-team appearances and achievements.
While he failed to make the grade at City, Frimpong impressed with the youth sides, catching Celtic’s eyes during a game against their Under-23s.
Man. City inserted a sell-on clause that entitles them to 30% of any fee he commands anytime he leaves Parkhead, and the Premier League giants are due a windfall in the coming days from the look of things.

‘There’s currently no interest’: Director dismisses Arsenal transfer talk
| null | null |
sportslens.com
|
Borussia Dortmund director Michael Zorc says that there is no truth in the rumour that Arsenal have made a bid for Julian Brandt.
Reports in Germany claimed that Dortmund are willing to send the 24-year-old out on loan, but Zorc has insisted that no offers have been made.
According to journalist Fabrizio Romano’s official Twitter page, Zorc said: “There is nothing on the table at the moment.
“We can’t do anything about rumours that are constantly being spread that simply don’t reflect the truth. There’s currently no interest.”
SL View – Julian Brandt
Although the midfielder is currently out-of-favour at Dortmund, it is understood that that the club remain hopeful that he will eventually prove his worth.
Brandt made a promising start with the Bundesliga club, but he has subsequently struggled to produce his best form.
While a move to the Premier League may be a tempting proposition, it is debatable whether Arsenal is a sensible destination for the German international.
The Gunners have been struggling for consistency this term and desperately need to improve their squad with players who can hit the ground running.
Brandt is undoubtedly talented, but a loan move for an out-of-form player would be a hugely risky move for manager Mikel Arteta to make.
Having failed to get the best out of Mesut Ozil, the Gunners can ill-afford to take a chance on players with a suspect temperament.

Sheffield United interested in loan deal for Jesse Lingard
| null | null |
sportslens.com

According to a report from the Mirror, Sheffield United are interested in making a loan move for Manchester United’s Jesse Lingard.
The Blades have promised him that he’d have a major role to play and that joining them would help him secure a move to a bigger club ahead of next season.
Lingard has made sporadic appearances for United this term, featuring in just three cup matches to date.
In the Premier League, the England international has made Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s matchday squad on only four occasions.
As claimed by talkSPORT, a few clubs have been recently been linked to Lingard including West Ham United, Nice and Tottenham Hotspur.
Sportslens View
Man United don’t have the strongest squad in Europe but they have a number of players who are good enough to keep Lingard out of the starting line-up.
Apart from the FA Cup and the Europa League, it seems very unlikely that the 28-year-old will feature much during the remainder of the season.
Lingard has rapidly fallen down the pecking order at United and a move away from the club could serve him well.
Sheffield United have had a disastrous season so far with only five points from 19 matches. They’re not just in danger of relegation but also of having a points tally similar to that of Derby County back in 2007/08.
The Blades need a major turnaround in order to stand a chance of survival and an experienced player like Lingard could perhaps do something for them.
Lingard would be handed a good amount of game time under Chris Wilder and the move could be one of many steps to get his career back on track.
However, there have been a few more clubs linked to him, including West Ham. It will be interesting to see whether Lingard manages to secure a move out of Old Trafford during the remainder of the transfer window.

Talking Books with Clifford Browder Author of NEW YORKERS: A FEISTY PEOPLE WHO WILL UNSETTLE, MADDEN, AMUSE AND ASTONISH YOU #Interview
| null | null |
thewriterslife.blogspot.com
|
Welcome to The Writer's Life! Now that your book has been published, we’d love to find out more about the process. Can we begin by having you take us at the beginning? When did you come up with the idea to write your book?
My previous publisher, Black Rose Writing, kept putting off telling me if they would publsh my next book. I couldn’t afford to waste another year or more, waiting for their answer, so I revived a manuscript that I had shelved and self-published it with help from 1106 Design. The result is New Yorkers: A Feisty People Who Will Unsettle, Madden, Amuse and Astonish You. It is composed of posts from my blog, No Place for Normal: New York.
Who is your publisher and how did you find them or did you self-publish?
As just noted, I self-published. Didn’t want to waste more time. I’d like to publish one new book a year.
Is there anything that surprised you about getting your first book published?
Yes: How long I had to wait — five years — while other books ahead of mine were published. Small presses — in this instance, Gival Press — have long queues. This was The Pleasuring of Men, the first title in my Metropolis series of historical novels set in nineteenth-century New York, and my only gay-themed book. My earlier books, several of them out of print, are another story.
Do you believe a book cover plays an important role in the selling process?
Does it ever! I’ve seen this at book fairs. The cover of my nonfiction title No Place for Normal: New York, with its bright rainbow colors, attracts the eye. Drawn by it, people would approach my table, see NEW YORK in bold black letters against a light background, then read the subtitle and look at the back-cover blurb. Thanks to the cover, it always upstaged my other books.
How hard was it to write a book like this and do you have any tips that you could pass on which would make the journey easier for other writers?
It was easy. (I’ve never had writer’s block.) I decided to make it a mix: a personal memoir with bits of history and travel lore thrown in. This has earned me some bad reviews, when reviewers expected one thing and got another, but other reviewers have had no trouble with it. A tip for other writers? To avoid negative reviews, make your subject matter clear and stick to it. (Though I’m glad I didn’t.)
What other books are you working on and when will they be published?
My Metropolis series of historical novels has eight titles, all of them completed, and four already published. The fifth, Forbidden Brownstones, will be released in January 2021, though the e-book is available now (December 2020) for preorder. Five down and three to go.
What’s one fact about your book that would surprise people?
How many languages are spoken in the city. (You’d be surprised.) There are lots of weird facts about the city and its residents, stuff that even New Yorkers don’t know.
Finally, what message are you trying to get across with your book?
New Yorkers and their city are special, unique. New York is the most exciting city in the world. Everyone should visit it (once the pandemic is overcome).
Thank you again for this interview! Do you have any final words?
Today, visit New York by reading about it. Once the pandemic is past, come visit us. We need you. The city isn’t the same without visitors.

Welcome to The Writer's Life! Now that your book has been published, we’d love to find out more about the process. Can we begin by having you take us at the beginning? When did you come up with the idea to write your book?
My husband likes the word ‘fallacious’. He told me I ought to write a book with fallacious in the title, so I did.
Who is your publisher and how did you find them, or did you self-publish?
My publisher is The Wild Rose Press. I have a previously published book with them. I found them listed in “Guide to Literary Agents” when I submitted my first manuscript.
Is there anything that surprised you about getting your first book published?
I think what surprised me the most is what a time-consuming project it is to get from contract to holding your book in your hand.
Do you believe a book cover plays an important role in the selling process?
I think a book cover is very important. If the cover is bland, I won’t pick the book up to see what it is about.
Writing is not hard. It is repetitious. You have sit down and make your self do it.
How hard was it to write a book like this and do you have any tips that you could pass on which would make the journey easier for other writers?
Writing is not hard. It is repetitious. You have sit down and make your self do it. I usually get high-centered after my first thirty thousand words and I have to take a step back and reevaluate it. There is no better feeling in the world than typing that last word and telling yourself “I did it!”.
What other books are you working on and when will they be published?
I have one book pending right now I am working on western for the Wild Rose Press’ new series Wylder. I also have four more manuscripts in various stages of production.
What’s one fact about your book that would surprise people?
I have a personal reason for writing this book. A close family member passed away and the idea for this book came when I analyzed the importance of family and friends.
Finally, what message are you trying to get across with your book?
Looks are deceiving. Sometimes what you see is not what you get.
Thank you again for this interview! Do you have any final words?
I had so much fun writing this story. Expressing myself through my writing is one of my greatest joys. If I can take one person on a journey to another time and place and entertain them, it is well worth my effort. Cheers!

THE ALCOHOL CON: HOW TO OUTSMART IT
By Michaela Weaver
Is drinking having a negative effect on your life? You are not alone!
Millions of strong-minded, capable people find themselves falling victim to the biggest con trick of our time – alcohol!
It lures us with false promises of fun and social acceptability. Instead we find ourselves caught in a cycle of drinking, hangovers, morning regret, and guilt.
Despite being successful in other areas of life, it seems difficult to change our drinking habits. In the face of alcohol it’s easy blame ourselves, and believe we are unable to exercise self-control.
In this ground-breaking book, The Alcohol Con is exposed, and unraveled with insight and humour. Drawing on her own experience, and with a background in science and professional coaching, Michaela Weaver paves the way for you to outsmart the alcohol con, break free and move forward to a bright new sober future.
Introduction
Thirty years after joining the merry-go-round of drinking alcohol, my thumping head, nauseous stomach, and I, finally saw it for what it was: the biggest con trick on the planet. At that point I metaphorically got off the ride, left the fairground, and walked off into a beautiful sunny day. I’m still walking around in that beautiful sunny world, where it’s calm and peaceful, and the war of wants, and shouldn’t haves, and hungover regrets has stopped raging in my head.
I don’t head for the fridge as soon as I get home from work anymore, and don’t curse when I find only a half a bottle left there from the night before. I don’t worry about going out with friends and needing to remember to stop drinking after four drinks, only to have four drinks and forget to remember. I don’t ever wake up at 3am with a dry throat, and racing heart with a feeling of dread as I try to remember what I said and did the night before. I don’t have to deal with my guilt, or feeling stupid because I decided not to have a drink last night, but come wine o’clock my body went into autopilot as my brain decided to change its mind, and I did the very thing I promised myself that I wouldn’t do.
I don’t do any of that any more because I outsmarted the con artist that had held my confidence and trust for all those years. I outsmarted alcohol, and you can too. Alcohol has no control over me, as I now realise it once did. I am in complete control of every drop of alcohol that passes my lips. I consume exactly the amount of alcohol that I want to drink, which is exactly none.
You can get smart about alcohol, and you can get control over it. But before you can outsmart anything, you need to understand it. In the game of psychological warfare, knowledge is ammunition, and knowledge is power.
But wait a minute.
Surely, if there’s a problem with alcohol, then it’s the people who drink too much of it that have a problem. After all, isn’t the term ‘alcohol abuse’ aimed at the uncontrolled drinker and not the drink itself.
We all know that it’s alcoholics on park benches drinking meths from bottles in paper bags who have a problem. We know it’s them who need to go to weekly AA meetings and sit in a circle proclaiming their acquiescence to a lifelong disease and affliction that they battle in misery to control because they were born with some dodgy genes.
We know that we’re different and our kind of drinking belongs in a different world. Ours is a world of grown-up laughs, sophisticated choices, and wine o’clock normality.
We’ve all grown up knowing that drinking alcohol is the golden ticket to adulthood and more alluring than a first kiss. We spent the early years of drinking, proving we could drink like fishes, building up tolerance, and working hard for the badge of being a proper grown up alcohol drinker.
We learned that drinking is the multi-tasking doer of all things: it relaxes, relieves boredom, gives a whoop of joy, helps get over an argument, deals with our stress, fills our hours, brings us our friends, make social occasions fabulous, helps us throw off our clothes in the bedroom, makes us happy, makes us interesting, and the life and soul of the party.
We know all these things. Or we think we do. So why on earth would we need to outsmart it, when it does so much for us, our family, our friends, and everyone we know?
Because if it really did all those things, and there were no consequences, then it would be awesome, it really would. The problem is, as we all know, that if anything seems too good to be true, then it usually is. And alcohol is no exception. Yet virtually every drinker genuinely believes in a long list of benefits that alcohol brings them.
Since birth, we’ve been conditioned by society, media, and the people we know and love, to believe that drinking alcohol is not only normal, but expected. It is the only drug on the planet that you have to justify not taking. Because alcohol is a drug, although the fact is not widely advertised: you don’t see advertisements saying, ‘Drink Sauvignon Blanc this Christmas, it’s a highly addictive and poisonous drug.’
In terms of addictive power, alcohol sits beside heroin, cocaine and nicotine. It is second to heroin in the addictive stakes, scoring 2.2/3 where heroin scores 2.5/3.
In a UK study by David Nutt of Imperial College London in 2010, alcohol was found to be the most harmful drug on the planet based on 16 criteria relating to harm to the individual and harm to others. In the study, alcohol scored 72/100 compared to the second most dangerous drug, heroin, scoring 55/100, and crack cocaine which scored 54/100. Alcohol is not only harmful to us physically, it harms us psychologically, and it harms our families. Alcohol hurts the people we love.
Alcohol may be harmful, but we all know that in small doses it’s good for us. We’ve been told that it’s good for our heart to have a glass of red wine each day. Sadly, as medical knowledge expands, this is another bubble in the alcohol con to burst. The good stuff in red wine is resveratrol, which you can find in strawberries, grapes and blueberries to name a few sources, and these don’t come with increased risk of cancer to the neck, head, breast, colon, oesophagus or liver.
A study published in The Lancet in 2018 concluded that the level of alcohol consumption per week that minimises health loss is zero. Put another way, this means that for us mere mortals, the safe amount of alcohol to consume is none. The study used 650 data sources, and over 590 studies in reaching its conclusion. Alcohol consumption has now been linked to 60 acute and chronic diseases, and just one glass of wine per day has been linked to a 15% increased risk of breast cancer.
We may know that something is bad for us, but our minds have an amazing ability to convince us that inconvenient facts which stand in the way of us doing what we want to do don’t apply to us. The mild inconvenience of the negatives pale into insignificance compared to the enormous benefits that we’re convinced that we’re getting.
And then one day something changes. Some crisis occurs that affects us personally, and we decide that we have to do something different.
Right now, you probably believe that alcohol is an important part of your life. But you’ll also know that supping those glasses of wine or beer each night, or partying hard at the weekend, is causing a problem. Alcohol may be affecting your health, your work, or your relationship, or maybe all three.
You may be realising that the hangovers are feeling worse, or that you feel tired all day until a drink in the evening miraculously wakes you up.
Waking up full of remorse and anxiety, with a thumping head, and a questionable or even nonexistent recollection of last night’s events is far from fun, relaxing or stress-free. In fact, it’s diametrically opposite. And vowing never to do it again only to pour a glass of red wine at dinner isn’t good for long term self-esteem, either, as you find yourself in a constant cycle of internal mental battles, over which reaching for a glass always wins.
The result is that the real you, the conscious-minded part of you that doesn’t want to drink, fails. Always. And I know, because I always failed too. If I’d had a particularly boozy Saturday night with friends and felt hellish the next day, I’d be proud of myself that I didn’t have a glass of wine that evening. The fact that I was still feeling queasy from the night before didn’t enter my head as being the reason for my evening of abstinence.
When I decided to stop drinking for a while, like on a hungover 1st of January having decided to do a dry month, I’d start off feeling amazingly positive and determined. All my resolve and positive vision of self, drinking green tea every evening, was primed and ready for action. I would spring open the fridge and give the bottle of wine a ‘Ya boo,’ scoff before putting it firmly in the back of the cupboard, with a ‘See you in February,’ smile.
I’d go to the pub and loudly order a diet coke, telling the bar tender that I was doing Dry January. I might as well have stood on the bar, grabbed a microphone, and shouted to the room, ‘Look at me with my diet coke everyone! Look at me controlling alcohol. I’m not drinking Chardonnay or Merlot here today my friends, so I DON’T HAVE AN ALCOHOL PROBLEM.’ Thou doth protest too much.
By around the 20th of January I was usually bored with Dry January and poured myself a large chilled glass of white wine to celebrate my abstinence. A week later and I had my nose back in the fridge at wine o’clock, waking up on Saturday morning with a remorseful hangover.
For someone who is fundamentally a smart person, none of that made me feel very smart. And that’s the problem, drink makes a fool of everyone, even the most successful and well educated of us.
What you’re about to find out is that the whole package that is wrapped up in the glass in your hand is the result of a very clever and long drawn out confidence trick. It’s a confidence trick that has drawn you in, like it did me, and millions of others, and one that you have completely trusted.
All con tricks work because the con artist gains your trust, implicitly. You believe in them, who they say they are, and the benefits that you believe they can bring you.
The psychological brainwashing of addiction happens in the subconscious mind, and this is the part of your mind that says, ‘Oh go on then,’ when your conscious mind is sitting there with its arms crossed and a large banner with the words, ‘I’m not going to drink today’ emblazoned in bold lettering. This explains why we feel stupid when we’ve gone to such lengths, just to cave in five minutes later.
If you knew for a fact that you had been a victim of a con trick that had trapped you, would you want to get out?
Alcohol is the basis of a confidence trick of pandemic proportions, with millions of people across the world being caught out and being caught in the trap. Alcohol is embedded in every crevice of our society and for many it’s a trusted friend. It has won the confidence of people like you and me who genuinely believe (as I used to) that it adds value to their lives, and that life without it would be deficient. Alcohol is also the cause of inordinate suffering and misery for millions of people who find they can’t live with it and can’t live without it.
Alcohol is the con trick that is fooling the world. Intelligent, successful, strong-minded people are amongst the most common group to fall for the con and give their trust to alcohol. It’s only when you try to get out that the rope tightens, and you realise that you’re trapped. With minds yo-yoing between wanting a drink, and trying to stop having one, or just having less, most drinkers mistakenly blame themselves for being weak, and unable to control alcohol. People don’t realise that they are victims of a con.
Unless you’ve read a library of books on addiction, drugs and alcohol lately, then there’s a ton of stuff about alcohol that you are completely unaware of, just like I was. And you’re a bright person. You’re smart. I am too. I’ve got degrees, I’ve written books, run businesses and I’ve raised kids, but I was drawn in by the alcohol con, just like the millions of smart, intelligent, successful people who are still in the trap.
When people try to get out, the con trick keeps them trapped by adding layer upon layer of false confidences and beliefs.
People think they can’t live without alcohol, and life would be dull. A few years ago, the very idea of going to a party and not being able to drink would make me feel deprived, even before I got there.
Recently a friend came to stay, and twice before she arrived, I went to my local shops to get some last-minute supplies. Both times I had ‘buy wine’ on my mental list, because my friend is a drinker. Both times I completely forgot the wine. I ended up texting my partner to ask him to pick up some on the way home from work. A few years ago, I would have gone to the shop to pick up some milk and would have come through the door with two bottles of wine, and completely forgotten the milk.
I’m now free, and it feels great.
People talk about ‘giving up’ alcohol as though there’s something to lose, and I appreciate that right now that’s what you believe. It’s the reason that people are so fearful of facing the problems that alcohol is causing. It’s like the abusive partner who beats someone up only to hug them better. We all know that person is manipulative and can’t be trusted. The alcohol con is cleverer though, because whereas an abusive lover may shower someone with tangible gifts and benefits, there are literally no benefits to taking alcohol, and you’ll get smart to that later in the book.
I use the word ‘take’ in relation to alcohol interchangeably with the word ‘drink’, because drinkers drink to take the drug which is alcohol. Heroin is mostly injected, or smoked, and nicotine is smoked, or vaped. I know that you won’t like to think of it that way: taking alcohol, but that is what it is. If it makes you recoil, or feel aggrieved, that’s okay. You’ll find out later that’s just your subconscious mind, and it’s your subconscious mind that is the real victim of the confidence trick.
Alcohol, and everything that it embodies, is the con artist who has lied and continues to lie to you. Alcohol is the Pied Piper of Hamlyn who plays happy music full of promises of joy. And just like the piper it lures the followers, reeling them in, slowly, subtly, until the point when it’s got them, and it’s too late. It’s not too late for you though, and if you are prepared to get smart with alcohol then you’ll be in full control very soon.
Alcohol traps educated, capable, strong-minded people. The only abuser in the alcohol equation is the alcohol itself. It is not us who abuse alcohol, it is alcohol that abuses us.
Alcohol is the loan shark who lends you $20, then demands $30 in repayment, who lends you the $30 to then demand a repayment of $40. It is the loan shark who gives with one hand and takes with both, taking you ever further in debt while you try to get back to being where you were before you started.
It’s time to delve into the confidence and trust that we have put in alcohol and to unravel the greatest confidence trick of our time.

It has won the confidence of people like you and me who genuinely believe (as I used to) that it adds value to their lives, and that life without it would be deficient. Alcohol is also the cause of inordinate suffering and misery for millions of people who find they can’t live with it and can’t live without it.\nAlcohol is the con trick that is fooling the world. Intelligent, successful, strong-minded people are amongst the most common group to fall for the con and give their trust to alcohol. It’s only when you try to get out that the rope tightens, and you realise that you’re trapped. With minds yo-yoing between wanting a drink, and trying to stop having one, or just having less, most drinkers mistakenly blame themselves for being weak, and unable to control alcohol. People don’t realise that they are victims of a con.\nUnless you’ve read a library of books on addiction, drugs and alcohol lately, then there’s a ton of stuff about alcohol that you are completely unaware of, just like I was. And you’re a bright person. You’re smart. I am too. I’ve got degrees, I’ve written books, run businesses and I’ve raised kids, but I was drawn in by the alcohol con, just like the millions of smart, intelligent, successful people who are still in the trap.\nWhen people try to get out, the con trick keeps them trapped by adding layer upon layer of false confidences and beliefs.\nPeople think they can’t live without alcohol, and life would be dull. A few years ago, the very idea of going to a party and not being able to drink would make me feel deprived, even before I got there.\nRecently a friend came to stay, and twice before she arrived, I went to my local shops to get some last-minute supplies. Both times I had ‘buy wine’ on my mental list, because my friend is a drinker. Both times I completely forgot the wine. I ended up texting my partner to ask him to pick up some on the way home from work. A few years ago, I would have gone to the shop to pick up some milk and would have come through the door with two bottles of wine, and completely forgotten the milk.\nI’m now free, and it feels great.\nPeople talk about ‘giving up’ alcohol as though there’s something to lose, and I appreciate that right now that’s what you believe. It’s the reason that people are so fearful of facing the problems that alcohol is causing. It’s like the abusive partner who beats someone up only to hug them better. We all know that person is manipulative and can’t be trusted. The alcohol con is cleverer though, because whereas an abusive lover may shower someone with tangible gifts and benefits, there are literally no benefits to taking alcohol, and you’ll get smart to that later in the book.\nI use the word ‘take’ in relation to alcohol interchangeably with the word ‘drink’, because drinkers drink to take the drug which is alcohol. Heroin is mostly injected, or smoked, and nicotine is smoked, or vaped. I know that you won’t like to think of it that way: taking alcohol, but that is what it is. If it makes you recoil, or feel aggrieved, that’s okay. You’ll find out later that’s just your subconscious mind, and it’s your subconscious mind that is the real victim of the confidence trick.\nAlcohol, and everything that it embodies, is the con artist who has lied and continues to lie to you. Alcohol is the Pied Piper of Hamlyn who plays happy music full of promises of joy. And just like the piper it lures the followers, reeling them in, slowly, subtly, until the point when it’s got them, and it’s too late. It’s not too late for you though, and if you are prepared to get smart with alcohol then you’ll be in full control very soon.\nAlcohol traps educated, capable, strong-minded people. The only abuser in the alcohol equation is the alcohol itself. It is not us who abuse alcohol, it is alcohol that abuses us.\nAlcohol is the loan shark who lends you $20, then demands $30 in repayment, who lends you the $30 to then demand a repayment of $40. It is the loan shark who gives with one hand and takes with both, taking you ever further in debt while you try to get back to being where you were before you started.\nIt’s time to delve into the confidence and trust that we have put in alcohol and to unravel the greatest confidence trick of our time.",

Welcome to The Writer's Life! Now that your book has been published, we’d love to find out more about the process. Can we begin by having you take us at the beginning? When did you come up with the idea to write your book?
A few summer’s ago, I had a terrifying and traumatic experience: I went to Disneyworld with my family. Don’t get me wrong—my kids and wife loved the place. But it wasn’t for me. It was just too much happiness for me, you know? We also spent time in this town called Celebration, just outside of the theme park. It was initially developed as some sort of utopian company town. In fact, they were even going to place it inside a climate-controlled dome. That didn’t come to fruition, but today it still feels like a Stepford Wives town, with perfect streets and perfect paths and perfect lawns. And so I started thinking: what would have happen to a town like this if Disneyworld ever collapsed? And that's what inspired my nightmarish novel.
Who is your publisher and how did you find them?
This is the second novel I’ve published with Eraserhead Press. The first one was called The Drive-Thru Crematorium, which just got nominated for the Wonderland Book Award, which, I guess, is the big award for bizarro fiction. Rose O’Keefe is the head of the company, and she took a risk on both Drive-Thru Crematorium and Captain Clive’s Dreamworld, which are both very strange novels. Eraserhead is a real niche publisher, which is so crucial in this age of the conglomerate publishers. They can take the risks that the big publishers can’t. I’m also really thankful that Blackstone Audio agreed to do the audio version.
Do you believe a book cover plays an important role in the selling process?
Absolutely! I go back and forth on whether the cover or the title is more important. About equal, I think. I’ve been fortunate to have really talented artists work on my covers. Daniele Serra is an Italian artist who worked on five of my covers. His work has this instantly recognizable look to them. He’s fantastic. Matthew Revert has done a couple of the other covers. He’s about the most imaginative artist I know. I’m in love with the cover for Captain Clive’s Dreamworld. He took the concept of those old “Greetings From” postcards and created this creepy design. I think the cover has played a big role in the book’s success.
I hope the book entertains, terrifies, and makes you think at least a bit. Then I will have done my job.
How hard was it to write a book like this and do you have any tips that you could pass on which would make the journey easier for other writers?
This was my 8th novel. I wish I could say that the process gets easier, but it’s always a grind. There are those days when everything is flowing, but those days are pretty rare. I think it’s important to stick with process, to write the best page or paragraph or sentence you can that day, and not get too far ahead of yourself. When you start that first page, it’s always hard to imagine that one day the book will be complete. But somehow it happens.
What other books are you working on and when will they be published?
I recently finished a suspense novel called Beneath Cruel Waters that will be published by Blackstone in 2022. I’m finishing up another novel, but I don’t want to jinx it by talking about it yet.
What’s one fact about your book that would surprise people?
I think the number of literary influences the book takes on would surprise people. Shirley Jackson, Shakespeare, Flannery O’Connor, Jim Thompson. I imitate all of them badly in order to create my own voice.
And so I started thinking: what would have happen to a town like this if Disneyworld ever collapsed? And that's what inspired my nightmarish novel.
Finally, what message are you trying to get across with your book?
I’m not really a message writer, but I think certain themes arise, including the danger of groupthink, the fallibility of memory, and the role of collective guilt. I hope the book entertains, terrifies, and makes you think at least a bit. Then I will have done my job.
Thank you again for this interview! Do you have any final words?
Avoid eating at diners called Mom’s, and avoid wearing matching outfits with your significant other.

Welcome to The Writer's Life! Now that your book has been published, we’d love to find out more about the process. Can we begin by having you take us at the beginning? When did you come up with the idea to write your book?
I have been working on my Learn To Tie With The Rabbit and Fox series of books for over 30 years. The first book, Learn To Tie a Tie With The Rabbit & The Fox, illustrated by Donna Marie Naval was inspired by a trip to a menswear store where a friendly salesman showed me a simple way to tie a neck tie. His method was accompanied by a short story about a fox chasing a rabbit through a forest. I was charmed by the idea of copying those motions for learning to tie a tie. What a great memory jogger! It wasn’t until 2012 that I was finally able to publish that book, though. It is available in English, Spanish and Tagalog. Other knotting books quickly followed. Nellie Knows How To Knot A Neck Scarf and Ned Knows How To Knot A Necktie came about because I wanted to write something that children could relate back to themselves. Both of those books are illustrated by Enrique Vignolo. Nellie is about a little girl who loves dressing up in frilly things. The Fancy Nancy books by Jane O'Connor and Robin Preiss Glasser were a little bit of inspiration for her. Neck scarves are Nellie’s favorite accessory. Ned is about a young boy whose imagination is stirred by all kinds of knots. I envision him as a boy scout of sorts. He also knows that certain kinds of knots can make him look good. To him, looking good means wearing a necktie so he has neckties for every occasion. Both Ned and Nellie share the story of the rabbit and the fox with readers. For years, I wanted to write a how-to-tie a bow book, too, but the story just would not come to me. I was completely stuck on the idea of teaching the tying technique by having a fox chase a rabbit. This year, I finally broke free of that concept and was able to create the story of Cleo, a bow obsessed girl. She shares the story of a friendly fox who helps a long-eared rabbit keep her ears from dragging on the ground.
Who is your publisher and how did you find them or did you self-publish?
I am a self-published author / entrepreneur. There is too much competition these days in the struggle of trying to get a book in front of a traditional publishing company so any author who truly desires their book to be seen by potential readers must take control of the entire publishing and marketing process themselves. That’s where the entrepreneur angle kicks in. Today, there are a million ways to promote a book. If you are not trying to take advantage of at least some of them, you are not doing your book or yourself any favors.
Is there anything that surprised you about getting your first book published?
The surprise was how hard it was to get the attention of a traditional publisher and how easy it is to self-publish. Literally anyone can do it. Many avenues are available for self-publishing and distribution but KDP seems to be the most lucrative because of their close links to Amazon. That organization absolutely rules the book world today. It’s truly shocking how fast they overtook every other book seller out there. But don’t kid yourself. Just because your book is listed there, it doesn’t mean that anyone will ever find it in a keyword search…or possibly not even in a search of the actual title. It’s absolutely true that whoever spends the most on advertising gets the most results on page views. So what is an author / entrepreneur to do in their endless effort to get eyeballs on their book? Since I am an Amazon affiliate, one of the things I have done is assemble online stores on my blog that feature books and gifts based on themes from my books. For Cleo Can Tie A Bow, I recommend hundreds of unique bow-themed gifts on my Girls Love Bows Gift Shop. I market and promote that online gift shop through social media sites like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest and LinkedIn. I use a service called Postfity to automatically schedule daily posts. Most weekends are spent creating hundreds of posts that can be scheduled months in advance. I’m telling you all of this because it is something anyone can do. If you want to, you can use a similar method to promote your books, too. You may start out with nearly no followers but if you consistently work on your social media, your influence will continue to grow. One day you may wake up with thousands of followers and daily page views. You just have to keep at it.
Do you believe a book cover plays an important role in the selling process?
For children’s picture books, the more accurately the cover reflects the content of the book the better. Cleo’s book features a sweet little girl sitting in a forest scene with her favorite rabbit and fox plushies. She wears her hair in a bow, has bow jewelry and all of her clothes are decorated with bows. Anyone, who looks, can tell that this book has something to do with bows. It’s the same with the title. What could be clearer than Cleo Can Tie A Bow as the title for a book about learning how to tie a bow?
How hard was it to write a book like this and do you have any tips that you could pass on which would make the journey easier for other writers?
Since Cleo Can Tie A Bow is an instruction book for learning how to tie a bow, the hardest part to capture was how to simplify the bow tying process both in words and pictures. Luckily, I came across the most amazing illustrator, Pumudi Gardiyawasam. We collaborated very closely on the best methods to show the various movements for tying a bow. We got close to our aspiration for perfection but there are really very many ways to tie a bow and every child will respond in their own way. My main goal with this book is to generate interest in children wanting to learn to tie a bow. If after reading this book, they become inspired to work at it, then I feel I’ve accomplished a very important mission. Exercises in manual dexterity build self-esteem in children. Knowing how to tie shoe-laces, neckties, scarves or any other knot is a useful and rewarding skill. As I’ve always said, “Teach a child a useful skill. Build confidence and self-esteem that lasts a lifetime.”
What other books are you working on and when will they be published?
I think I am completely done with my Learn To Tie With The Rabbit And The Fox series of books. But then, I had just about given up on Cleo’s story ever coming to me in this life time, when it finally did. So, who knows? There may be more in the future. Though I have a few other types of story ideas dancing around in my brain, for now, I’ll concentrate most of my efforts on the entrepreneur side of promoting and marketing this book through my Girls Love Bows Gift Shop.
Thank you again for this interview! Do you have any final words?
Yes, I invite you to visit The Rabbit and The Fox Book Store on my blog, too. You’ll find lots of books about rabbits and foxes there plus a bunch of games to promote manual dexterity. Have fun browsing.

Welcome to The Writer's Life! Now that your book has been published, we’d love to find out more about the process. Can we begin by having you take us at the beginning? When did you come up with the idea to write your book?
The Thankful Series came about after the loss of my parents. I not only had to cope with the grave loss, but I also had to deal with the anxiety and depression. Not one for self-medicating, I turned to a more effective measure to deal with my sadness – gratitude.
What I learned about gratitude, gratitude journaling and coloring was remarkable. I came to understand that being grateful was victimless because it isn’t self serving. Scientifically proven to rewire the brain to make you happier, I wanted young children to feel the same positive emotions I was feeling by just expressing gratitude.
Who is your publisher and how did you find them or did you self-publish?
I was traditionally published for years and parted ways in 2015. I am now independently published.
Is there anything that surprised you about getting your first book published?
How long it takes. From the time I signed the contract, to when my first book was published, the entire process took two years. You have to have a lot of patience.
Also, when you write a picture book, the publisher assigns the illustrator. Usually a first time author doesn’t have much of a say.
Do you believe a book cover plays an important role in the selling process?
Absolutely! The cover is your first impression. Your cover gets the reader to pick up the book and look inside.
How hard was it to write a book like this and do you have any tips that you could pass on which would make the journey easier for other writers?
It was actually very easy. Since this is a concept book and not a story in anyway, once I came up with the format the pieces fell into place.
I don’t have any advice really as everybody is different and everyone’s journey is their own. I’d say just try to enjoy each step of the way.
What other books are you working on and when will they be published?
I have a picture book coming out in early spring 2021 called, Gomer the Gassy Goat. Guaranteed to be full of laughs.
What’s one fact about your book that would surprise people?
That giving thanks daily can rewire your brain to make you happier.
Finally, what message are you trying to get across with your book?
The Thankful Unicorn: Dream is an award-winning, groundbreaking coloring journal designed to promote positivity, improve self-esteem, calm anxiety and inspire creativity.
Thank you again for this interview! Do you have any final words?
Thank you!

Hot New YA Release & Giveaway! BANEWIND by M.B. Chapman @mbchapman90 #newrelease

I've kissed a boy.
I've been to another world.
I've seen death.
By M.B. Chapman
Title: BANEWIND
Author: M.B. Chapman
Publisher: Light Messages / Torchflame Books
Pages: 268
Genre: Young Adult / Fantasy / Fiction
Almost two weeks ago I was just a normal girl getting ready to start my senior year of high school, deciding where I wanted my life to go. And now?
I’ve kissed a boy. I’ve been to another world. I’ve seen death.
And I don’t know what my life’s become.
Banewind tells the spellbinding story of 18-year-old Genevieve DeWinter, a typical high school girl who finds herself entangled in the throes of adventure, romance, and survival after discovering the existence of a group of magical beings known as Formulists and their co-existing world, Banewind.
With the arrival of several mages in her hometown of Parma, Ohio, Genevieve soon learns that these extraordinary secrets are rooted deep within her family’s history when it is revealed her deceased mother was a heroic warrior in a long lineage of female protectors called the Holy Guardian. Now, a vengeful group of Formulists known as the Voidweavers have returned and set their sights on Genevieve, believing she might be the next Holy Guardian and the key to awakening their fallen leader, the Void King, who had been destroyed by Genevieve’s mother when she sacrificed herself a decade earlier to save Banewind and all of humanity from an unthinkable evil.
With the help of new allies, Genevieve must fight to stay alive as she unravels the mystery and danger that have shattered the stability of the life she once knew before the Voidweavers succeed in shadowing the world in chaos and darkness once again.
Now that he’s in better light, I can get a good view of him. I’m right on the age part—he’s probably eighteen or nineteen—and he’s very attractive. He has black hair that swoops over the side of his forehead, and blue eyes that are sparkling like sapphires. His face is beautiful, with high-set cheekbones and a slender nose. His skin is pale and ashen, but it suits him well. And his body appears fit beneath the turquoise track jacket and matching track pants he wears. “Want me to help you look for him?” He takes another step toward me. “It’s okay. Thanks.” I back up. “You don’t have to do that.” “I don’t mind.” He stares at me with a wolfish grin, and I feel as though his blue eyes are piercing through my body. “It really isn’t smart for you to be out here alone.” “What about you?” I snap back. “I mean, really. A girl can’t spend her time alone in the woods, but it’s perfectly acceptable for a boy?” His eyes widen in surprise. “I-I guess you make a good point.” He bites his lips. They have a blue tint to them. “What’s your name?” “Genevieve.” Can he tell I’m caught off-guard? “I’m Scythe. Nice to meet you.” We both stand there in awkward silence. “Okay. Well, I’m going to go find my dog. Take care.” “Wait.” He jerks his hand towards me. “Why don’t you stay here, and I’ll go find the dog and bring him back to you.” He looks proud of himself for suggesting this. “If not, you might get lost.” “These woods aren’t that big. I’ll be fine.” I’m beginning to get agitated with this punk. “I appreciate you offering to help. But seriously, I’m just going to—” The tree behind Scythe explodes into thousands of splinters, crackling while the red blaze ascends to the top. As I fall to the ground, I see him bound to the left and roll behind a hollowed trunk, taking cover from the hissing flames. The clearing illuminates with a fiery orange light as the trunk bursts into dancing embers. I cover my eyes, blinded by the fire’s brightness as it continues to engulf the shrubbery around me. My face is drenched in sweat, and my breathing is swift and shallow. Up and down, up and down, up and down. My chest rises and falls so fast I’m afraid I’ll pass out if I don’t get myself under control. Another explosion. I cover my ears and scream. I drag myself over to a stump and hide behind it, scanning the clearing to see what has become of the boy. About twenty feet from me, his body lies sprawled out, with flames flickering just inches from his clothes. A nearby tree explodes and falls to the ground, revealing a figure in a hooded red cloak standing in its place.
"This story has a great mix of fantasy and young adult romance. Love the strong female protagonist at the center of the story! It is like Harry Potter, but with a unique, imaginative world all its own. There is a rich backstory of the fantasy land woven throughout the book that makes me excited for future books by this author!"
-- Amazon Reviewer
"I think this could be the next big thing. I would love to see this made into a movie or tv show. The story is intriguing, the characters easy to imagine, and the writing is great. Super easy read and kept me invested the entire time! Ready for book 2!"
-- Amazon Reviewer
I don't think this is a series but it sure could be! The mixture it has sets this into a good read! Especially if you are snowed in. Well written and thought out plot and characters! Very interesting read that you will find yourself completely drawn in and lost from the reality of life!

Talking Books with Al & Sunny Lockwood Author of CRUISING THE MISSISSIPPI #Interview
| null | null |
thewriterslife.blogspot.com
|
When did you come up with the idea to write your book, CRUISING THE MISSISSIPPI?
This cruise was so much fun, and so educational that we knew from the start we'd write about it. My husband and I are both retired and are doing a lot of traveling. Until our Mississippi Cruise, we'd mainly traveled in Europe.
But one afternoon as I was just tooling around online, I stumbled upon an opportunity Al and I had never thought of -- a river cruise in the U.S. And not just any river, but the mighty Mississippi! The industrial-strength watercourse backbone of our country.
Who is your publisher and how did you find them or did you self-publish?
We self published through Gatekeeper Press. I found Gatekeeper Press online. They handled the cover design, and distribution of the paperback. I published the ebook through Amazon's KDP program.
Do you believe a book cover plays an important role in the selling process?
Yes. A good looking cover can draw the attention of book browsers. Then it's the responsibility of the writer to keep the browser reading, as they glance through the pages of the book. We pay for professional book designers. And we do our best to write compelling stories that will keep readers turning our pages.
How hard was it to write a book like this and do you have any tips that you could pass on which would make the journey easier for other writers?
We have written other travel memoirs, hoping our readers enjoy our journeys as much as we do! We take lots of photographs, and lots of notes. And every evening we write what we discovered that day, and what we loved most. We're especially open to surprises ... things we didn't expect, but which bring the journey alive. We had a huge surprise on our Mississippi River cruise, when we discovered one of the entertainers on board had a close connection to my family. Those are the kinds of unexpected things that make a trip special!
Taking lots of photos and notes helps keep the trip immediate when we sit down to organize and write about it.
What other books are you working on and when will they be published?
We're finishing up a book entitled: Cruising from Boston to Montreal. It's about a wonderful cruise trip we took through the Canadian Maritimes and up the St. Lawrence River. This was another close to home cruise that turned out to be wonderful in all sorts of ways.
What's one fact about your Mississippi cruise that would surprise people?
How our stop at Nottaway Plantation House was like a magic carpet transporting us 150 years into the past ... The huge home, the people all in period dress, the surrounding fields, and our paddlewheeler parked beside the levee. You could just imagine the life that went on there, from the slave quarters to the river. It was an amazing experience. One we hope we captured in our book.
Any final words?
We write about our travels to encourage others to make their travel dreams come true. A lot of times people sort of day dream about travel, but never really take the trip. We want them to take that trip, to make their dream a reality. Travel is good for the heart, the mind and the soul. So we hope our book inspires readers to travel. That's our goal.

BOOK BLAST! Love and Other Moods by Crystal Z. Lee #bookblast

Love and Other Moods follows complexities of adulting, of parenting, of the urban quest for love and finding one's place in the world…
Love and Other Moods
By Crystal Z. Lee
Love and Other Moods is a coming-of-age story set in contemporary China, about falling in love, learning to adult, finding strength, and discovering one’s place in the world.
Naomi Kita-Fan uproots her life from New York to China when her fiancé’s company transfers him to Shanghai. After a disastrous turn of events, Naomi finds herself with no job, no boyfriend, and nowhere to live in a foreign country.
Amidst the backdrop of Shanghai welcoming millions of workers and visitors to the 2010 World Expo, we meet a tapestry of characters through Naomi: Joss Kong, a Shanghai socialite who leads an enviable life, but must harbor the secrets of her husband, Tay Kai Tang. Logan Hayden, a womanizing restaurateur looking for love in all the wrong places. Pan Jinsung and Ouyang Zhangjie, a silver-aged couple struggling with adapting to the ever-changing faces of their city. Dante Ouyang, who had just returned to China after spending years overseas, must choose between being filial and being in love. All their dreams and aspirations interweave within the sprawling web of Shanghai.
This multilayered novel explores a kaleidoscope of shifting relationships—familial friction, amorous entanglements, volatile friendships—in one of the most dynamic metropolises of the twenty-first century.
“This heartfelt, transporting story sparkles with a constellation of characters who call this city home while pursuing their China dream. As multifaceted as Shanghai itself, this novel follows overlapping narratives about the complexities of adulting, of parenting, of the urban quest for love and finding one’s place in the world.” — EMILY TING, film director of Go Back to China and Already Tomorrow in Hong Kong “Awash with cosmopolitan expats and jet-setting locals, Love and Other Moods shimmers like the diamonds adorning China’s glitterati, while exposing haunting personal histories and intergenerational strife. With dazzling twirls around Shanghai’s World Expo, glitzy fashion shows, art deco architecture, jazz clubs, gourmet restaurants, and disappearing food stalls, this novel compellingly pulls the reader into the pleasures and pains of becoming an adult in a city soaring to global status.” — JENNY LIN, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Critical Studies at the University of Southern California and author of Above sea: Contemporary art, urban culture, and the fashioning of global Shanghai

Trolls" Star Rolling Ray Hospitalized After His Wig Caught on Fire (VIDEO)

Rolling Ray—the viral internet sensation who became famous after appearing on MTV Catfish: Trolls back in 2018—was reportedly rushed to the hospital Wednesday (Jan. 13) after he was involved in a fire of some sort.
Details are scarce, but social media reports are suggesting that his wig caught on fire.
The extent of his injuries isn’t clear, but Ray took to Instagram Live to share the news, and the entire right side of his face looks severely burnt.
“Burned my whole skin. Legs, arms, feet, and everything,” he said in the video. “I love y’all and I want y’all to keep me in y’all prayers.”
y’all @DMVMOSTFAMOUS rolling ray is in the hospital because he was in a fire. send him prayer omg it looks so bad.???? pic.twitter.com/fm4oGyrzqM — willow??? (@IAMABLACKCHILD) January 14, 2021
This latest incident comes a little over two years after Ray made headlines after getting hit by a car while crossing the street.
Rolling Ray became an internet sensation a couple years back after an episode of MTV Catfish: Trolls aired, showing a dispute between him and another viral star named “Camyonce.”

Kandy Korn Koated-in-Chief Donald Trump Pardons Lil Wayne, Kodak Black & More on Last Day in Office

Now-former President Donald Trump used the last hours of his time in the White House to issue presidential pardons and sentence commutations to nearly 150 people, including rappers Lil Wayne and Kodak Black.
The pardons came days after reports claimed that the rappers were among those the Kandy Korn Koated-in-Chief planned to pardon before the end of his presidential term.
Lil Wayne was facing up to 10 years in prison after pleading guilty in December to illegally possessing a firearm, while Kodak Black was sentenced to 46 months in federal prison after he was convicted of falsifying documents to purchase a firearm.
Kodak’s sentence has been commuted and Wayne—who would have faced sentencing on Jan. 28th—will not have to serve any time despite pleading guilty to his felony charge.
While the Hip-Hop community is celebrating the fact Kodak will be coming home soon, Assistant U.S. Attorney Bruce O. Brown wrote in his motion that the rapper (who legally changed his name in 2018 Bill Kapri) “has not presented ‘extraordinary and compelling reasons’ supporting his request for release.”
Brown continued: “Stated (for) correction: (Kodak) has not presented ANY reason supporting his request for release. He merely states he is not an evil person and promises to participate in community-based programs aimed at helping the ‘younger generation.’ That simply is inadequate pursuant to the statute.”
Lil Wayne (real name: Dwayne Michael Carter Jr.) made headlines last year when met with Trump just days before the Nov. 3rd presidential election to talk about “the platinum plan,” an economic proposal to empower black business owners.
Carter, in a tweet featuring an obvious photo opp with Trump, praised the then-president for his work on criminal justice reform and said the proposal would “give the community real ownership.”
“He listened to what we had to say today and assured he will and can get it done,” Wayne tweeted on October 29th.
White House officials noted in an announcement of Carter’s pardon that was supported by Brett Berish (owner of liquor company Sovereign Brands) and football legend Deion Sanders.
Berish described the rapper as “trustworthy, kind-hearted and generous” and noted his commitment to a variety of charities, including donations to research hospitals and food banks.
Sanders referred to Wayne as “a provider for his family, a friend to many, a man of faith, a natural giver to the less fortunate, a waymaker, [and] a game changer.”
Others pardoned or had their sentences commuted by Trump on his last day in office included Steve Bannon (who pleaded not guilty to charges accusing him of defrauding donors in a fake “We Build the Wall” online fundraising campaign), Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick (convicted of federal charges including racketeering, extortion and filing false tax returns), Roc Nation CEO Desiree Perez (who was arrested in 1994 for drug possession and again in ’98 for grand larceny and possession of a firearm), Death Row Records co-founder Michael “Harry-O” Harris (who has served 30 years of a 25-year to life sentence for conspiracy to commit first-degree murder, and many more.
Trump issued a total of 73 pardons and 70 sentence commutations as prepared to leave office early Wednesday (Jan. 19).

Trump Supporter ID'd As Woman Shot & Killed During U.S. Capitol Siege

The rioter who was shot and killed inside the U.S. Capitol during a siege on the building has been identified as Ashli Babbitt, an Air Force veteran from San Diego and avid supporter of President Donald Trump.
Babbitt’s identity was revealed by San Diego news outlet KUSI News via her own husband, who confirmed her death, telling the news outlet that she was a “strong supporter of President Trump, and was a great patriot to all who knew her.”
Babbitt’s husband told KUSI that she had 14 years in the service and did four tours of duty.
Video shared via Twitter and YouTube captured the exact moment Babbitt was shot while trying to climb through the broken window of a door inside the Capitol among a large group of insurrectionists.
Another video, which aired live on television, showed the woman covered in blood as she was taken out of the building on a stretcher. She was rushed to the hospital in critical condition but later died.

The shooting happened outside of the House of Representatives chamber.
While it hasn’t been confirmed who pull the trigger, those who witnessed the fatal shooting have said that the woman was shot by a Capitol police officer.
There are some reports stating that she was shot in the neck, while others state she was shot in the chest.
Trump supporters are portraying Babbitt online as a martyr and her social media features retweets of a number of bogus conspiracy theories that President-elect Joe Biden stole the election from President Trump.
The day before she was fatally shot, Babbitt ironically tweeted: “Nothing will stop us…. they can try and try and try but the storm is here and it is descending upon DC in less than 24 hours….dark to light.”

Babbitt’s Twitter page was also filled with references to Trump and QAnon (some of which have since been deleted).
“I will be in DC on the 6th! God bless America and WWG1WGA,” she wrote on Twitter, referencing QAnon.
She also wrote that the California governor had instituted “commie rule” and responded to a tweet criticizing Nancy Pelosi’s support of the $600 stimulus check, writing: “It is a smack to the gut for everyone of us … you think ppl are waking up yet? … THEY DONT GIVE A F**K ABOUT US … all they want is power and money … we must unite!”
She retweeted Georgia lawyer Lin Wood multiple times, and in December 2020, she wrote: “COVID IS A F***ING JOKE!” In September 2020, she wrote: “Trump 2020 landslide! Let freedom ring!”
Another woman wrote on Twitter: “Serious question: Has the government started a war against it’s own people?” Babbitt responded on December 20th: “We are not their ppl… they are owned-bought, paid for, enslaved… you can’t sell your soul to devil without a price. They chose, so have we. Dark to light! Let freedom ring and god bless America! God knows, god sees and he is incoming! Nothing can stop what is happening.”
Babbit, who used the Twitter handle CommonAshSense, also retweeted Wednesday morning—just hours before she and other Trump supporters stormed the Capitol—a “MUST BE DONE LIST before Congress meets today.”
It included: “[Mike Pence] must resign & thereafter be charged with TREASON” and “Chief Justice John Roberts must RESIGN.”
A man from New Jersey spoke to a journalist as an eyewitness of the fatal shooting.

“We had stormed into the chambers inside, and there was a young lady who rushed through the windows. A number of police and Secret Service were saying get back, get down and get out of the way,” he said.
“She didn’t heed the call. As we kind of raced up to grab people and pull them back, they shot her in the neck. She fell back on me. She started to say she was fine, it’s cool. Then she started moving weird and blood was coming out of her neck and mouth and nose. I don’t know if she’s alive or dead anymore.”
The man added: “Riot police came in and started ushering us out with their sticks and stuff.”
Asked how he and the others were able to get into the Capitol, he said: “We tore through the scaffolding, through flashbangs and tear gas, and blitzed our way in through all of the chambers.
“Just trying to get into Congress and whoever we could get into and tell them we need some kind of investigation into this, and someone might be dead. That’s not the kind of government we can have.”
The man, who said he wasn’t injured, continued: “It could have been me. She went in first. This can not stand anymore… they don’t represent anybody. And now they will kill people. Police, Congressmen and women. They don’t care. They think we’re a joke. $2,000 checks were a joke to them.”
The rioters were protesting Congress’s certification of Joe Biden as the winner of the 2020 presidential election.
Babbitt’s mother-in-law told a reporter that she was puzzled by her behavior.
“I really don’t know why she decided to do this,” the mother-in-law said.

Dr. Dre Rushed to ICU After Suffering Brain Aneurysm

Dr. Dre has reportedly been rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles after suffering a brain aneurysm.
TMZ reports that Dre had the aneurysm Monday (Jan. 4) and was taken directly to the ICU, where he remained as of Tuesday evening.
Sources say the 55-year-old music mogul is “stable and lucid,” but doctors aren’t sure what caused the bleeding and they’re performing tests as we speak.
As you’re probably aware, Dre and his estranged wife are smack dab in the middle of a very contentious divorce, with Nicole requesting $2 million a month in temporary spousal support and $5 million for attorney fees.
But Dre doesn’t think he should have to pay anything since he’s already taking care of all of Nicole’s expenses. He also believes her attorney fees are outrageous considering the fact that her lawyers have only been working on the case for a few months and he’s already voluntarily paid her a million dollars.
Nicole also reportedly asked a judge to reject the prenup she signed back in 1996 because she says Dre ripped it up not long after they got married, which he strongly denies.
There’ll be a hearing for their divorce Wednesday in downtown in L.A., but Dre obviously won’t be able to attend.
News of Dre’s aneurysm comes after his estranged wife filed legal documents claiming that the hip-hop mogul has over $260 million in cash and Apple stocks and can well enough afford to cover her expenses and maintain the lifestyle she’s become accustomed to.

Black Female Doctor Bullied on Clubhouse by Tiffany Haddish & Others Hospitalized After Suicide Attempt

A black female doctor who was bullied by Tiffany Haddish and other “celebrities” on Clubhouse after she corrected their COVID misinformation has reportedly been hospitalized after she tried to commit suicide.
Her circle is asking for her privacy beyond letting people know what happened to her so I'm not trying to say much. You can research the names of the people mentioned and see the story for yourself. It's vile. — Thick Cristal Connors (@nottredvelvet) January 14, 2021
According to a number of social media reports, Tiffany Haddish, Joe Budden, celebrity blogger Jason Lee, and Instagram activist Chaka Bars were harassing several Black doctors on Clubhouse Wednesday (Jan. 13), and even shared their personal information online.
Via Aceshowbiz:
Someone claimed that Chaka and other “ignorant celebs” attacked professional medics and started spreading conspiracy theory, saying that the government invented COVID-19 and social distancing so satellites could do facial recognition. While there’s still no evidence to confirm what they said on the chat room, some people took to Twitter to blast the stars. People also called for an action from the app, as one tweeted, “Hey @joinClubhouse – there is a room called ‘CH Bullying’ full of celebrities and conspiracy theorists who are plotting to dox several black doctors by sharing their social media accounts to several thousand people. Can you please step in? #CHBullying.” “Chakabars, Tiffany Haddish, Jason Lee and other ‘celebrities’ are plotting in a clubhouse room to take down a young black woman doctor and they even said ‘ruin her life’. They are sharing her details in a group chat. How is this allowed @joinClubhouse? #chbullying,” another person similarly wrote.

When someone else tried to refute the claims, the user further insisted, “I have ears! Tiffany said she’s going to take this girl down and they said they’re sharing her details in a group chat. How is this fair? This is not another celebrity.” Noting how dangerous the move was, one user said, “Chakabars is getting his 1 million followers to attack a Black woman because Black doctors got his account suspended for misinformation. This guy is a monster. It’s petrifying.” Meanwhile, Tiffany responded to the allegations on her Twitter account. Refusing to call it a bullying, the “Girls Trip” actress wrote, “Now People on clubhouse saying I am bullying because I just told the truth.” She went on saying, “There is a special place in Gods Kingdom for people that like to lie and make up stories on other people,” adding that, “Funny how some people can’t handle the truth!”

One of my friends is a Black woman physician being doxxed by Tiffany Haddish on Clubhouse.

"8 SHARES Share Tweet\nA black female doctor who was bullied by Tiffany Haddish and other “celebrities” on Clubhouse after she corrected their COVID misinformation has reportedly been hospitalized after she tried to commit suicide.\nHer circle is asking for her privacy beyond letting people know what happened to her so I'm not trying to say much. You can research the names of the people mentioned and see the story for yourself. It's vile. — Thick Cristal Connors (@nottredvelvet) January 14, 2021\nAccording to a number of social media reports, Tiffany Haddish, Joe Budden, celebrity blogger Jason Lee, and Instagram activist Chaka Bars were harassing several Black doctors on Clubhouse Wednesday (Jan. 13), and even shared their personal information online.\nVia Aceshowbiz:\nSomeone claimed that Chaka and other “ignorant celebs” attacked professional medics and started spreading conspiracy theory, saying that the government invented COVID-19 and social distancing so satellites could do facial recognition. While there’s still no evidence to confirm what they said on the chat room, some people took to Twitter to blast the stars. People also called for an action from the app, as one tweeted, “Hey @joinClubhouse – there is a room called ‘CH Bullying’ full of celebrities and conspiracy theorists who are plotting to dox several black doctors by sharing their social media accounts to several thousand people. Can you please step in? #CHBullying.” “Chakabars, Tiffany Haddish, Jason Lee and other ‘celebrities’ are plotting in a clubhouse room to take down a young black woman doctor and they even said ‘ruin her life’. They are sharing her details in a group chat. How is this allowed @joinClubhouse? #chbullying,” another person similarly wrote.\nChakabars, Tiffany Haddish, Jason Lee and other “celebrities” are plotting in a clubhouse room to take down a young black woman doctor and they even said “ruin her life”.

How is this allowed @joinClubhouse ? #chbullying — clubhouselurker (@clubhouselurker) January 14, 2021\nWhen someone else tried to refute the claims, the user further insisted, “I have ears! Tiffany said she’s going to take this girl down and they said they’re sharing her details in a group chat. How is this fair? This is not another celebrity.” Noting how dangerous the move was, one user said, “Chakabars is getting his 1 million followers to attack a Black woman because Black doctors got his account suspended for misinformation. This guy is a monster. It’s petrifying.” Meanwhile, Tiffany responded to the allegations on her Twitter account. Refusing to call it a bullying, the “Girls Trip” actress wrote, “Now People on clubhouse saying I am bullying because I just told the truth.” She went on saying, “There is a special place in Gods Kingdom for people that like to lie and make up stories on other people,” adding that, “Funny how some people can’t handle the truth!”\nThere is a special place in Gods Kingdom for people that like to lie and make up stories on other people. — Tiffany Haddish (@TiffanyHaddish) January 14, 2021\nNow People on clubhouse saying I am bullying because I just told the truth. — Tiffany Haddish (@TiffanyHaddish) January 14, 2021\nFunny how some people can’t handle the truth! — Tiffany Haddish (@TiffanyHaddish) January 14, 2021\nOne of my friends is a Black woman physician being doxxed by Tiffany Haddish on Clubhouse.

DaBaby was arrested in Beverly Hills while shopping on Rodeo Drive after someone reported him and his crew for having weapons.
A video posted on The Shade Room shows the rapper in handcuffs on the sidewalk outside Dolce & Gabbana, and TMZ has the details of his arrest.
As he and 3 other men were about to drive off, multiple cop cars surrounded their vehicle. Law enforcement sources tell us someone inside the store called to report DaBaby and his crew had weapons. Baby and his friends were detained while officers searched the vehicle, and found one handgun. We’re told the rapper was arrested for carrying a loaded firearm, a misdemeanor. Although cops initially detained everyone in the car, we’re told DaBaby is the only one getting booked.

UPDATE (6:23 P.M. ET): The woman who was shot inside the U.S. Capitol has died, Fox 5 D.C. reports.
The woman shot inside the Capitol has died per @DCPoliceDept https://t.co/gvZgHJnYQ2
A woman was reportedly shot in the neck inside the U.S. Capitol after thousands of rabid Donald Trump supporters stormed the building and breached the Senate chamber Wednesday (Jan. 6) to riot over the results of the 2020 election, which Joe Biden won.
Footage posted to social media showed the moment the shooting happened and another video, which aired live on television, shows the woman covered in blood as she’s taken out of the building on a stretcher.

The unidentified woman has been rushed to the hospital and is said to be in critical condition.
Daily Mail reports:
The [rioters] breached the Senate chamber on Wednesday afternoon as senators were rushed from the room by Capitol Police.
They were heard banging on the doors of the House chamber and yelling outside as police officers rushed lawmakers out of the chamber and to safety.
There were reports of gun shots outside of the House as an armed stand off took place at the doors of the chamber.
“We’ve been given gas masks on the House floor. Tear gas has been used in the Rotunda,” wrote Democratic Rep. Gerry Connolly on twitter.
Vice President Mike Pence, presiding in the Senate, and Speaker Nancy Pelosi, presiding in the House, were removed from their respective chambers at the first hint of the breach for their own safety.
The [rioters] filled the rotunda, which sets below the dome of the Capitol and is filled with paintings depicting important scenes in the founding of the nation.
They also were seen marching through Statuary Hall, the room off the House chamber that is filled with statues of the nation’s founders and used for special ceremonies.
In the crypt of the Capitol, where George Washington was originally supposed to be buried, police and [rioters] clashed, fighting it out.
“We now have individuals that have breached the Capitol building. They are in the Rotunda area,” Capitol police said.
Trump urged his supporters to stay peaceful, in a tweet that came after they had breached the building.
At a rally earlier that morning, he had encouraged them to march on the Capitol, where lawmakers were certifying the electoral college vote for Joe Biden.
“Please support our Capitol Police and Law Enforcement. They are truly on the side of our Country. Stay peaceful!” the president wrote.
But he did not tell them to leave.
U.S. Capitol Police used tear gas as hundreds of people were seen climbing the marble steps outside the building. They banged on the locked doors of the Capitol and smashed the glass in the doors.
One [rioter] jumped up on the dais, where the president of the Senate presides, and yelled: “Trump won that election.”
Several dozen [rioters] roamed the halls of the Capitol, yelling: “Where are they?”
Tear gas was being used by Capitol Police as [rioters] filled both the House and Senate side of the Capitol.
Another [rioter] in the Senate yelled: “Where’s Pence, show yourself!’
The chaos caused the Capitol to go on lock down and disrupted the certification of the electoral college vote that would cement Biden’s victory.
The images played out live on national television and on social media. One of the [rioters] tweeted a photo from Speaker Pelosi’s office, meaning the person made it to the center of the Capitol.
Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser declared a 6pm curfew for the city.

"Insecure" to End After Upcoming 5th Season

After four critically acclaimed seasons on HBO, the upcoming fifth season of Insecure will be its last, as the show is set to end.
Deadline reports:
“Prentice and I are so grateful that HBO believed in our show from the beginning and kept faith in us to see our vision through the end,” co-creator and star Issa Rae told Deadline today of the Emmy nominated comedy she executive produces with Prentice Penny.
“We always planned to tell this story through five seasons, but we couldn’t have made it this far without the tremendous support of our audience. I feel blessed beyond measure to bring our characters’ stories to an end, on-screen at least.”
With all its scripts completed, the fifth and final season of Insecure is expected to go into production later this month.
Starring its lead cast of Rae, Yvonne Orji, Jay Ellis, Natasha Rothwell, Amanda Seales and Alexander Hodge, the show will return later this year, HBO says.
“Issa has turned insecurity into an iconic form of comedy,” the premium cabler’s Programming EVP Amy Gravitt declared in a statement Wednesday.
“The show is as incisive as it is heartfelt, and it has resonated strongly with its audience because of the deeply personal work that Issa, Prentice, Melina, the cast and the writers have put into it. This talented team has conceived a brilliant final season for Insecure and we look forward to having many more stories to tell with this singular group of collaborators.”

Trump Reportedly Told Mike Pence "You Can Go Down in History As a Patriot or a P**sy" Before Electoral Vote Count

According to a new report from the New York Times, President Donald Trump went all the way off on Vice President Mike Pence after Pence refused to try to overturn the election in Trump’s favor.
Before Pence went to the U.S. Capitol to oversee the electoral vote count last Wednesday (Jan. 6), an “enraged” Trump called Pence’s home and, according to two people briefed on the conversation, told him: “You can either go down in history as a patriot or you can go down in history as a p**sy.”
A recent report from Politico also notes that “after four-and-a-half years of unbending loyalty” that culminated in Trump inciting a riot that literally put Pence’s life in danger, he’s finally ready to move on from 45’s presidency.
“Pence is done with Trump’s bullsh**,” a former Pence adviser said. “He’s not going to give a prime time speech saying, ‘F you Donald Trump,’ but in his own way he is going to just get to the finish line and keep his head down.”
But the VP hasn’t completely turned on Trump because on Tuesday (Jan. 12) he formally rejected calls for him to invoke the 25th amendment to initiate the removal of the president from office.
Pence does, however, plan to attend Biden’s inauguration next Wednesday (Jan. 20) apart from Trump, who said he will be skipping his successor’s swearing-in and is expected to leave for his West Palm Beach estate prior to then.

"That '70s Show" Actress Tanya Roberts' Rep Says She's Still Alive After Initially Saying She Died

5 SHARES Share Tweet
Actress Tanya Roberts is still alive … despite an initial report saying she’d died.
It was previously reported that Roberts died Sunday (Jan. 3) at Cedars-Sinai hospital in Los Angeles after collapsing at her home while walking her dogs on Christmas Eve and was rushed to the hospital and placed on a ventilator.
Roberts is best known for her role as a “Bond Girl” and portraying the character Midge (Donna’s mom) on That ‘70s Show.
The actress’s rep, Mike Pingel, initially “confirmed” her death and even sent out a press release with details, but now that same rep is saying she never died in the first place.
Roberts’ husband Lance also released a statement to the media essentially confirming her death, saying: “As I held her in her last moments, she opened her eyes.”
Roberts’ rep later said that Lance told him he was at the hospital Sunday when he saw her eyes close, and for some reason, he said he thought she was dead he “left devastated,” as reported by TMZ.
Lance also reportedly told Pingel when he picked him up from the hospital that Roberts “died in my arms.”
For what it’s worth, Lance isn’t answering his phone to clarify why he thought his wife had died just because she closed her eyes, but here we are.
Pingel says he received a call just after 10 a.m. Monday morning (Jan. 4) saying that Tanya was still alive.
Her condition isn’t clear at the moment, but she’s definitely alive.
If you’re confused AF right now, don’t feel alone because we are too.

NBA YoungBoy's 6th Baby Mama Yaya Mayweather Gives Birth to His 7th Child Less Than 2 Months After 5th Baby Mama Gave Birth to 6th Child

Another day another child of rapper NBA YoungBoy entering the world … and this time, he’s the father of another set of “hood twins.”
Floyd Mayweather’s daughter Iyanna (aka Yaya) took to social media Saturday (Jan. 8) to announce to the world that she’d given birth to her baby with NBA YoungBoy.
The 20-year-old made the announcement via her Instagram stories with a photo of the baby boy’s foot and Queen Naija’s “Mama Hand” playing in the background. Yaya hasn’t revealed the child’s name or any details about the birth.
Floyd Mayweather confirmed his daughter’s pregnancy during an interview with Hollywood Unlocked back in November.
“If that makes her happy, then we’re happy—me and her mother [Melissia Rene Brim] are happy,” Floyd said.
“What I try not to do is be in her personal business because once she’s no longer under my roof, then you know what? It’s between her and her better half.”
Yaya celebrated her pregnancy that same month with a huge baby shower, but YoungBoy wasn’t in attendance. Floyd said during the aforementioned interview that he and the 21-year-old rapper don’t have a good relationship.
“Well, my thing is this: it has to do with your upbringing,” Floyd said of YoungBoy’s behavior and comments towards him.
“It starts in the home first. What I’ve always taught my daughter is this: always be respectful when you’re going to anyone’s home. And whatever goes on in your home, don’t talk about it to the world. As far as NBA … I look at NBA YoungBoy as a child. I can’t get upset with a kid like that.”
While this is Yaya’s first child, this is NBA YoungBoy’s seventh. He now has five sons (though one isn’t biologically his) and two daughters, including one (Kodi Capri) who was just born two months ago on Thanksgiving (Nov. 26, 2020).
The rapper has yet to comment on the birth of his two children born just two months apart … but then again, this is hardly new territory for him, considering the fact that he welcomed two children with two different women within the same week last summer.

"86 SHARES Share Tweet\nAnother day another child of rapper NBA YoungBoy entering the world … and this time, he’s the father of another set of “hood twins.”\nFloyd Mayweather’s daughter Iyanna (aka Yaya) took to social media Saturday (Jan. 8) to announce to the world that she’d given birth to her baby with NBA YoungBoy.\nThe 20-year-old made the announcement via her Instagram stories with a photo of the baby boy’s foot and Queen Naija’s “Mama Hand” playing in the background. Yaya hasn’t revealed the child’s name or any details about the birth.\nFloyd Mayweather confirmed his daughter’s pregnancy during an interview with Hollywood Unlocked back in November.\n“If that makes her happy, then we’re happy—me and her mother [Melissia Rene Brim] are happy,” Floyd said.\n“What I try not to do is be in her personal business because once she’s no longer under my roof, then you know what? It’s between her and her better half.”\nYaya celebrated her pregnancy that same month with a huge baby shower, but YoungBoy wasn’t in attendance. Floyd said during the aforementioned interview that he and the 21-year-old rapper don’t have a good relationship.\n“Well, my thing is this: it has to do with your upbringing,” Floyd said of YoungBoy’s behavior and comments towards him.\n“It starts in the home first. What I’ve always taught my daughter is this: always be respectful when you’re going to anyone’s home. And whatever goes on in your home, don’t talk about it to the world. As far as NBA … I look at NBA YoungBoy as a child. I can’t get upset with a kid like that.”\nWhile this is Yaya’s first child, this is NBA YoungBoy’s seventh. He now has five sons (though one isn’t biologically his) and two daughters, including one (Kodi Capri) who was just born two months ago on Thanksgiving (Nov. 26, 2020).\nThe rapper has yet to comment on the birth of his two children born just two months apart … but then again, this is hardly new territory for him, considering the fact that he welcomed two children with two different women within the same week last summer.\nBe the first to receive breaking news alerts and more stories like this by subscribing to our mailing list.",

Twitter announced Friday (Jan. 8) that they have “permanently suspended” President Donald Trump’s account days after a mob of his supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol and took over the building, leaving a trail of blood and destruction and claiming the lives of at least five people.
The popular social media platform said in a statement: “After close review of recent Tweets from the @realDonaldTrump account and the context around them we have permanently suspended the account due to the risk of further incitement of violence.”
After close review of recent Tweets from the @realDonaldTrump account and the context around them we have permanently suspended the account due to the risk of further incitement of violence.https://t.co/CBpE1I6j8Y — Twitter Safety (@TwitterSafety) January 8, 2021
Twitter went on to explain in great detail why they banned Trump’s account:
On January 8, 2021, President Donald J. Trump tweeted: “The 75,000,000 great American Patriots who voted for me, AMERICA FIRST, and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, will have a GIANT VOICE long into the future. They will not be disrespected or treated unfairly in any way, shape or form!!!” Shortly thereafter, the President tweeted: “To all of those who have asked, I will not be going to the Inauguration on January 20th.” Due to the ongoing tensions in the United States, and an uptick in the global conversation in regards to the people who violently stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021, these two Tweets must be read in the context of broader events in the country and the ways in which the President’s statements can be mobilized by different audiences, including to incite violence, as well as in the context of the pattern of behavior from this account in recent weeks. After assessing the language in these Tweets against our Glorification of Violence policy, we have determined that these Tweets are in violation of the Glorification of Violence Policy and the user @realDonaldTrump should be immediately permanently suspended from the service. We assessed the two Tweets referenced above under our Glorification of Violence policy, which aims to prevent the glorification of violence that could inspire others to replicate violent acts and determined that they were highly likely to encourage and inspire people to replicate the criminal acts that took place at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. This determination is based on a number of factors, including: President Trump’s statement that he will not be attending the Inauguration is being received by a number of his supporters as further confirmation that the election was not legitimate and is seen as him disavowing his previous claim made via two Tweets (1, 2) by his Deputy Chief of Staff, Dan Scavino, that there would be an “orderly transition” on January 20th. The second Tweet may also serve as encouragement to those potentially considering violent acts that the Inauguration would be a “safe” target, as he will not be attending. The use of the words “American Patriots” to describe some of his supporters is also being interpreted as support for those committing violent acts at the US Capitol. The mention of his supporters having a “GIANT VOICE long into the future” and that “They will not be disrespected or treated unfairly in any way, shape or form!!!” is being interpreted as further indication that President Trump does not plan to facilitate an “orderly transition” and instead that he plans to continue to support, empower, and shield those who believe he won the election. Plans for future armed protests have already begun proliferating on and off-Twitter, including a proposed secondary attack on the US Capitol and state capitol buildings on January 17, 2021. As such, our determination is that the two Tweets above are likely to inspire others to replicate the violent acts that took place on January 6, 2021, and that there are multiple indicators that they are being received and understood as encouragement to do so.
The ban comes after Trump incited a riot Wednesday (Jan. 6) that saw pro-Trumpers breaking into the U.S. Capitol building in D.C. and disrupting Congress’ certification of Joe Biden as the President-elect.
Twitter had initially placed a 12-hour ban on Trump’s account due to “repeated and severe violations of our Civic Integrity policy” after he refused to stop posting lies about the election being stolen from him.
Twitter threatened at the time to permanently ban his account for continued violations of his rules, including those regarding civic integrity and violent threats.
Facebook on Thursday (Jan. 7), banned Trump indefinitely, saying that the ban would last at least through Inauguration Day.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said the risks “are simply too great” to allow Trump to keep using their platform after he incited “violent insurrection against a democratically elected government.”
People have been telling Facebook and Twitter for YEARS to get this man off their platforms, and it took a mob of Trumptards taking over the Capitol for them to finally listen.
Better late than never, we guess…

YFN Lucci Wanted for Murder in Shooting Death of Atlanta Man

Rapper YFN Lucci is wanted on a number of charges, including murder, for his role in the shooting death of an Atlanta man last month.
According to reports, police were called on December 10th around 5:10 p.m. after a person was shot on the 900 block of Peeples St. in southwest Atlanta.
When officers arrived on the scene, they found 28-year-old James Adams laying in the street suffering from a gunshot wound to the head. He was rushed to Grady Hospital, where he died of his injuries.
A short time later, a second gunshot victim arrived at a nearby fire station via private vehicle with a gunshot wound to the abdomen.
The 32-year-old man survived his injuries, and while investigating, Atlanta Police Homicide Investigators later determined that the shootings were related.
As a result of the shootings (one of which was fatal), YFN Lucci—whose real name is Rayshawn Bennett—has been charged with felony murder, aggravated assault, participation in criminal street gang activity, and possession of a firearm during a commission of a felony.
While police are still looking for the 29-year-old rapper, two others allegedly involved in the crime—23-year-old Ra’von Boyd and 17-year-old Leroy Pitts—have already been arrested on similar charges in Miami.
A $5,000 reward is being offered for information leading to Lucci’s arrest. Anyone with information on his whereabouts has been asked to submit anonymous tips online at www.StopCrimeATL.com, call Crime stoppers at 404-577-TIPS (8477) or text 274637.

SoHo Karen Miya Ponsetto Arrested for Assaulting Black Teen & Falsely Accusing Him of Stealing Her iPhone

They finally got her!
Nearly two weeks after a viral video showed a woman assaulting a 14-year-old Black boy after she falsely accused him of stealing her iPhone at a hotel in the SoHo area of New York City, that woman in question has been arrested.
TMZ is reporting that 22-year-old Miya Ponsetto (aka “SoHo Karen”) was taken into police custody Thursday (Jan. 7) in a joint effort by the L.A. County and NYPD, and she’s expected to be charged with attempted robbery.
The NYPD has been looking for Ponsetto ever since video surfaced showing her attacking a 14-year-old, the son of Grammy Award-winning trumpeter Keyon Harrold, who she’d accused of stealing her cellphone at the Arlo SoHo hotel in NYC.
The video—originally posted on Harrold’s social media pages—showed a very aggressive Ponsetto trying to take the boy’s phone during the attack because she thought it was hers.
“This person quote on quote ‘lost’ her iPhone, and apparently, my son magically acquired it, which merely ridiculous,” Harrold captioned the footage.
“This incident went on for five more minutes, me protecting my son from this lunatic. She scratched me; she Tackled and grabbed him. He is a child!!! Now watch it again.”
Ponsetto reportedly fled to California shortly after the December 26th incident and laid low with her mom, but was spotted outside a McDonalds just last week.
This isn’t Ponsetto’s first run-in with the law either.
She was arrested twice in 2020, including a September arrest for DUI, driving with a suspended license and failure to obey traffic lanes and a February arrest at a Beverly Hills hotel for public intoxication along with her mother.
As for the 14-year-old she attacked, Keyon Harold Jr., his father says he and the boy’s mother are seeking trauma therapy for their son.
Ponsetto’s attorney said she wasn’t being racist when she attacked the boy, she was just suffering from an “anxiety attack” at the moment.
As far as her phone is concerned, it was later found in an Uber and returned to her.

Sheriff Matt English Recognized as Oregon’s Sheriff of the Year
| null | null |
gorgenewscenter.com
|
Hood River, Ore. – Recently, Sheriff Matt English, who was sworn in for his third term on January 6, was recognized as Oregon’s Sheriff of the Year by the Oregon State Sheriffs Association.
Active with the Oregon State Sheriff’s Association (OSSA) since he took office in 2013, Sheriff English has served the organization in a variety of capacities, including Secretary, Vice-President, and President. He has served on countless committees, worked with state lawmakers, and testified before the legislature; all with the goal of improving public safety in Hood River County and across the state.
“It’s humbling and an honor to be recognized”, said English. “I’ve always viewed my work with OSSA as a way to ensure Hood River County and our residents have a seat at the table. I believe strongly in the pay it forward mentality. Through the work and relationships we’ve built through OSSA in the last eight years, the return on investment to our community is immeasurable.”
During the December 7th awards ceremony, Lincoln County Sheriff Curtis Landers, who was the event’s emcee, stated “Sheriff English is a forward- and critical-thinking individual who exemplifies the professionalism that all elected sheriffs should display. For these reasons and more, Sheriff Matt English is most deserving of the Sheriff of the Year award for 2020.”
The work that Sheriff English has done with the OSSA over the years has brought tremendous benefit to the residents of Hood River County. It is also important, however, to acknowledge the “and more” alluded to above. A tireless leader within the community, Sheriff English works above and beyond to serve Hood River County.
In a prime example, the attached picture shows Sheriff English working with NW Natural to provide blankets and heaters to residents affected by the natural gas outage that occurred the week before Christmas 2020. While seemingly small, it is representative of the way that Sheriff English never places himself above even the simplest of tasks in service of the people of Hood River County.
Please join the team at the Hood River County Sheriff’s Office in congratulating Sheriff Matt English for receiving this much-deserved award that acknowledges his hard work in service to Hood River County and all of Oregon.

French Woman fights to prove she’s alive
| null | null |
gorgenewscenter.com

PARIS (AP) — Some people fight to live. But for Jeanne Pouchain of France, her fight — is to prove that she’s alive. Pouchain is 58 and lives in the village of Saint Joseph, in the Loire region. And therein lies the problem. While she lives there, she officially has been declared dead. That happened because of a court decision in Lyon (lee-OHN’) that declared her dead, even though no death certificate was produced. Her attorney is working to get it all squared away. Meanwhile she says being “dead” has already led to authorities seizing her car over an unpaid debt — and worries her furniture will be seized next.

Extremists exploit a loophole in social moderation: Podcasts
| null | null |
gorgenewscenter.com

Major social platforms have been cracking down on the spread of misinformation and conspiracy theories in the wake of the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol. But Apple and Google, among others, have left open a major loophole: Podcasts. Major tech platforms are still highlighting podcasts that let you tune into the world of the QAnon conspiracy theory and other accounts banned on social media. Such conspiracy theorists have peddled stolen-election fantasies, coronavirus conspiracies and violent rhetoric. Experts say podcasts play an outsized role in propagating white supremacy.

"Major social platforms have been cracking down on the spread of misinformation and conspiracy theories in the wake of the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol. But Apple and Google, among others, have left open a major loophole: Podcasts.

SEATTLE (AP) — Cam Akers rushed for 131 yards and a touchdown, Darious Williams returned Russell Wilson’s interception 42 yards for a score, and the Rams beat the Seattle Seahawks 30-20 in the NFC wild-card playoff game. The best defense in the league during the regular season carried its dominance into the playoffs. No team was better at limiting yards or points than the Rams and they continued to torment Wilson and the Seahawks. The Rams pulled off the upset without a healthy quarterback after John Wolford was injured in the first quarter. Jared Goff and his injured thumb took over and capped the win with a late TD pass to Robert Woods.

Totaled car? No problem, just steal a cop car

Stealing a cop car may fly in the Grand Theft Auto video game, but not in real life, which a California man seemingly learned the hard way.
After getting into a collision and leaving his own vehicle crumpled, a man is suspected to have jetted off in an unmarked police vehicle, according to ABC7.
And to make matters worse for himself, when police caught up with the suspect, the man whipped out a gun and charged at the officer and engaged in a shootout, all before taking off in the government-owned vehicle.
Eventually the perp was found in an apartment complex where he had barricaded himself in before eventually surrendering, however, he left quite a mess behind for fellow drivers.
Due to his antics, the freeways were backed up for miles because roads needed to be closed while the authorities were investigating the events.

Imagine you could turn a bottle of hot sauce into a congealed mass and slice it into neat little bite sized pieces. Well, that is now actually a thing thanks to Franks RedHot and this Shark Tank brainchild.
Slice of Sauce has plans to team up with Frank’s to combine zesty flavors with an innovative new product.
Cole and Emily Williams, a husband and wife duo who invented the sliced sauce tell Good Morning America that they created a “sandwich game changer.”
The couple say their sliced sauce allows people to enjoy sandwiches without the mess of soggy buns.
Their little invention also scored them a deal on ABC’s Shark Tank, shaking hands with Alex Rodriguez for $200,000 in exchange for a 15% stake in their business.
“Slice of Sauce and Frank’s RedHot is a dynamite combo and we are thrilled about the partnership,” the Williams’ said. “It’s the perfect layering of new and nostalgia, taking the famous bold buffalo flavor people know and love from Frank’s but now in a convenient sliced form.”
Their product is currently fulfilling pre-orders since the Shark Tank debut earlier this month for its Classic Ketchup and Spicy Sriracha as well as special collabs with Frank’s RedHot Original Cayenne and Secret Aardvark Habanero Hot Sauce.
Sound tasty?

Cantwell to Treasury Secretary Nominee: Economic Focus Needs to be More “Main Street than Wall Street”
| null | null |
gorgenewscenter.com
|
WASHINGTON, D.C. – As millions of Washington families and thousands of businesses statewide continue to feel the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell (D-WA), a senior member of the Senate Finance Committee, questioned President-elect Biden’s nominee for Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen about the incoming administration’s plans to boost the economy for working Americans and support Washington’s trade economy.
The COVID-19 pandemic has hit Washington workers hard, with more than 515,000 Washingtonians currently receiving unemployment benefits. Cantwell has been a Senate champion of expanded federal unemployment benefits and other COVID-19 assistance programs, and the incoming Biden administration has already proposed a major new package to provide assistance to workers, businesses, and communities.
“I can already see by the words that you’ve chosen – women workers, workforce, workforce training – that you are likely to deliver economic policies that are more focused on Main Street than Wall Street,” Cantwell said. “And I hope that is what I’m hearing, because I believe that we need wage growth in America, that Americans in all walks of life need more aspects to wage growth…”
“I couldn’t agree with you more. Our focus should be on Main Street, not Wall Street,” Yellen responded.
Highlighting the importance of trade to Washington’s economy, Cantwell also asked Yellen how she plans to help grow trade opportunities and repair damaged economic relationships with trading partners around the world, while maintaining strong enforcement of trade rules.
“We in the Pacific Northwest believe in an export economy,” Cantwell said. “[We have] not been a fan of the Trump administration’s what I would call unilateral protectionism. I don’t think that this is the direction in an economy where ninety-five percent of consumers live outside the United States of America.”
“A recent Oxford Economic Trade War study said that the Trump administration’s trade war cost us 245,000 American jobs,” Cantwell continued. “So I am asking you, do you repudiate… unilateral protectionism?”
Even before COVID-19, the Trump administration’s trade wars had damaged Washington’s trade economy. Overall, Washington’s exports of goods subjected to retaliatory tariffs by China declined by nearly 23 percent. As a result of these tariffs, cherry exports to China dropped 67 percent, while apple exports to China dropped by 67 percent and apple exports to India dropped by 55 percent. Washington apple growers lost significant market share in both countries, dropping from 55 percent to 19 percent in India and from 47 percent to 12 percent in China. As a result of both COVID and tariffs, the value of U.S. agricultural goods exported from Washington ports declined by more than 21 percent in the first three months of 2020.
In 2019, Washington state exported over $60 billion worth of goods to countries all over the world, with half of all exports going to China, Canada, Japan, South Korea, and Mexico. The market potential for specific Washington agricultural goods like cherries are reaching highs of $141 million, up from $70 million in 2019. In addition, Washington’s wheat industry produced $1.8 billion in economic output in 2019 and current exports of white wheat are up more than 40% since then. China also represents the single largest airplane market for commercial aircraft, worth a total of $1.3 trillion over the next two decades. Prior to the trade war with China, one in four U.S. commercial aircraft exports went to China, as well as 20% of all U.S. exports.
Senator Cantwell has been a strong advocate for trade and Washington’s export economy throughout her time in office. She helped secure stronger labor enforcement provisions in the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) and supported the deal’s passage through Congress. Last year, she led a bipartisan letter calling on the Trump administration to prioritize the U.S. potato industry in negotiations with China; the agreement included provisions related to potatoes she had encouraged. She also joined a bipartisan group of senators to call for assistance for wheat growers impacted by COVID-19.
As the current Ranking Member and incoming chair of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, Cantwell has also been a leading advocate of investments in Washington’s trade infrastructure. She has helped secure significant funding for a number of Washington ports and freight infrastructure projects. Funding she helped secure in 2020 includes $73.6 million for the Puget Sound Gateway Project, $17.75 million for a new cargo terminal at the Port of Everett and $10.6 million for the Northwest Seaport Alliance, among other projects.

TORONTO (AP) — Outfielder Teoscar Hernandez agreed to a $4,325,000, one-year contract with the Toronto Blue Jays, who reached a $3 million, one-year deal with right-hander Ross Stripling. The pair were the only Blue Jays remaining eligible for arbitration going into the scheduled exchange of proposed figures. Hernandez, 28, hit .230 with 16 homers and 34 RBIs in the shortened 2020 season, tied for fifth in the AL in home runs. Stripling, 31, went 3-3 with a 5.84 ERA over nine starts and three relief appearances with the Los Angeles Dodgers and Blue Jays.

Man finds others with same name, so naturally they start a band

gorgenewscenter.com

Out of the billions of people in the world, it’s no surprise that someone else out there could have the same exact name as you. What may be surprising, though, is that when one man found others with his name, they decided to start a band.
Paul O’Sullivan was perusing Facebook when he randomly decided to search his own name and send out friend requests to a few of his name twins, the Washington Post reports. After a few accepted he realized throughout their posts that they actually has some things in common and sent a message to each of them individually — and they all responded.
That thing in common was music and thus The Paul O’Sullivan Band was born. The quartet is comprised of four Paul’s — Paul O’Sullivan, 57, of Manchester, England, Paul O’Sullivan, 52, of Rotterdam, Netherlands, Paul O’Sullivan, 57, of Weatherly, Pa., and Paul O’Sullivan of Baltimore, Md. — and to differentiate between each other they use the location of where they are from — Baltimore Paul, etc.
The bandmates have yet to meet in person — except for Pennsylvania Paul and Baltimore Paul — have already recorded a song called “Namesake,” which is about a long-distance relationship, much like their own, the outlet describes.
While they are definitely having fun making music together, the Paul’s say that their bond goes beyond music and they have gained brothers for life.
“There is something very difficult to put your finger on about the friendship that you develop with people that you share the same name with,” Manchester Paul explained. “I never thought it was a thing, but indeed, it is a very nice thing.”

Oregon reports 1,037 new confirmed and presumptive COVID-19 cases, 21 new deaths

PORTLAND, Ore. — There are 21 new COVID-19 related deaths in Oregon, raising the state’s death toll to 1,758, the Oregon Health Authority reported at 12:01 a.m. today.
Oregon Health Authority reported 1,037 new confirmed and presumptive cases of COVID-19 as of 12:01 a.m. today, bringing the state total to 131,258.
Vaccinations in Oregon
Today, the Oregon Health Authority reported that 26,936 new doses of COVID-19 vaccinations were added to the state immunization registry. Of this total, 10,618 vaccine doses were administered on Jan. 14 and 16,318 were administered on previous days but were entered into the vaccine registry on Jan. 14.
Based on updated totals, the Oregon Health Authority is meeting Gov. Kate Brown’s goal of ensuring 12,000 vaccinations a day. The Governor required the benchmark to be met by the end of the two-week period that began Jan. 4.
Cumulative daily totals can take several days to finalize because providers have 72 hours to report doses administered and technical challenges have caused many providers to lag in their reporting. The Oregon Health Authority has been providing technical support to vaccination sites to improve the timeliness of their data entry into the state’s ALERT Immunization Information System (IIS).
Oregon has now administered a cumulative total of 173,073 first and second doses of COVID-19 vaccines. All vaccinations were administered by Oregon hospitals, long-term care facilities, emergency medical service (EMS) agencies, urgent care facilities and Local Public Health Authorities (LPHAs).
To date, 326,300 doses of vaccine have been delivered to sites across Oregon.
These data are preliminary and subject to change. OHA’s dashboards provide regularly updated vaccination data.
Cases and deaths
NOTE: Death details are being reviewed and will be posted in an updated version of this press release.
The new confirmed and presumptive COVID-19 cases reported today are in the following counties: Baker (2), Benton (21), Clackamas (54), Clatsop (4), Columbia (11), Coos (3), Crook (4), Curry (1), Deschutes (43), Douglas (21), Grant (31), Harney (1), Hood River (4), Jackson (52), Jefferson (14), Josephine (48), Klamath (14), Lake (1), Lane (86), Lincoln (5), Linn (16), Malheur (5), Marion (95), Morrow (5), Multnomah (155), Polk (23), Umatilla (111), Union (7), Wallowa (2), Wasco (14), Washington (141) and Yamhill (43).

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Officials from the Oregon Health Authority announced that vaccination sites have met the goal of administering a total of 12,000 coronavirus vaccine doses a day.

Oregon has administered a cumulative total of 146,137 first and second doses of COVID-19 vaccines. In addition, the Oregon Health Authority reported 1,152 new confirmed and presumptive cases of COVID-19 and 29 additional deaths on Thursday.

PORTLAND, Ore. — There are 41 new COVID-19 related deaths in Oregon, raising the state’s death toll to 1,708, the Oregon Health Authority reported at 12:01 a.m. today.
Oregon Health Authority reported 1,346 new confirmed and presumptive cases of COVID-19 as of 12:01 a.m. today, bringing the state total to 129,109.
Note: A human error resulted in the loss of a small number of reports submitted through the online portal from 6:45am to 8:30am on Jan.13.
OHA does not know what types of reports were lost (lab reports, REALD reports, or MIS-C reports). Based on recent reporting volume, we estimate that these results were likely negative or pending lab results and that no more than 20 would have been received during the time of the error. We are reaching to all parties who recently submitted reports through the online portal to request that anyone who submitted from 6:45am to 8:30am on Jan. 13.to resubmit those results.
OHA will continue to review and assess the process.
Vaccinations in Oregon
Today, 14,722 new doses of COVID-19 vaccinations were added to the state immunization registry. Of this total, 9,071 vaccine doses were administered on Jan. 12 and 5,651 were administered on previous days but were entered into the vaccine registry on Jan. 12.
Oregon has now administered a cumulative total of 129,782 first and second doses of COVID-19 vaccines. All vaccinations were administered by Oregon hospitals, long-term care facilities, emergency medical service (EMS) agencies, urgent care facilities and Local Public Health Authorities (LPHAs).
To date, 321,225 doses of vaccine have been delivered to sites across Oregon.
These data are preliminary and subject to change.
OHA’s dashboards provide regularly updated vaccination data.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — New reports indicate that the gun found in the pocket of a man after he was killed by police in Washington fits the make of the gun likely used to kill a man after a pro-Trump rally in Portland. The Oregonian/OregonLive reports Portland police records released this week show the gun recovered from Michael Reinoehl in Washington was one of three types of .380-caliber guns that ballistics tests indicate likely killed Aaron “Jay” Danielson on Aug. 29, an Oregon States Police forensic scientist reported. Thurston County Sheriff’s Lt. Ray Brady says a full forensic examination of the gun hasn’t been completed yet. Reinoehl, a self-described antifa activist, was killed in Washington by a fugitive task force.

Video: DNI Nominee Haines Pledges to Release Unclassified Report on Murder of Jamal Khashoggi

Washington, D.C. – Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., secured a commitment from Director of National Intelligence nominee Avril Haines to release an unclassified report about who was responsible for the murder of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi, in her nomination hearing today.
“It was refreshing to hear a straightforward commitment to follow the law from DNI-nominee Haines, after a year of stonewalling by the Trump administration to conceal the identity of who ordered Jamal Khashoggi’s murder,” Wyden said.
Wyden, a senior member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, has worked for two years to declassify what the U.S. government knows about who ordered the gruesome murder of Khashoggi at the Saudi Embassy in Istanbul.
“Ms. Haines, if you are confirmed, you have an opportunity to immediately turn a page on the excessive secrecy and lawlessness of the outgoing administration,” Wyden said in today’s hearing. “Congress passed a law requiring the DNI to submit to Congress an unclassified report on who was responsible for the brutal murder of Saudi journalist and U.S. resident Jamal Khashoggi. If you are confirmed, will you submit to Congress the unclassified report required by the law?”
“Yes senator, absolutely, I will follow the law,” Haines replied.
Wyden authored a law requiring the director of national intelligence to release an unclassified report on who was responsible for ordering Khashoggi’s killing by February 2020. However, the Trump administration refused to follow the law.
In response to questioning by Wyden, Haines also acknowledged that the CIA’s spying on the Senate Intelligence Committee during the creation of the torture report was wrong.
Video of the full exchange is available here.

Cantwell, Wyden, Colleagues Introduce Legislation to Expand Voting Access, Allow Every American to Safely & Easily Vote By Mail
| null | null |

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell (D-WA) today joined Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) and 12 Senate colleagues to introduce legislation that would give every American voter the option to vote by mail. The Vote At Home Act would build on the advances made during the 2020 election, which saw record vote-by-mail participation, by massively expanding vote-by-mail ballot access, providing voters with pre-paid ballot return envelopes, and enacting automatic voter registration.
In the November 2020 election, nearly 50 percent of voters nationwide cast their ballots by mail, an all-time high. 30 states adopted or changed their laws for the 2020 general election, allowing voters to cast their ballots from home in order to provide greater accessibility and to protect public health.
“Mail-in voting has played an important role in American elections, and we can increase the participation the voting public if we give them the opportunity to vote by mail. It has worked in Washington,” Cantwell said in a floor speech in July 2020.
Specifically, the Vote At Home Act would:
Promote the Ability of Voters to Vote by Mail – All registered voters would receive ballots in the mail weeks before Election Day, allowing them to carefully research candidates and issues well ahead of Election Day to inform their vote.
– All registered voters would receive ballots in the mail weeks before Election Day, allowing them to carefully research candidates and issues well ahead of Election Day to inform their vote. Expand Options for Casting Ballots – All registered voters would have the ability to cast their ballot through the mail or a drop-off site. Voters residing in states with in-person, same-day registration would still have the option to vote at a polling station in lieu of voting at home.
– All registered voters would have the ability to cast their ballot through the mail or a drop-off site. Voters residing in states with in-person, same-day registration would still have the option to vote at a polling station in lieu of voting at home. Fund the United States Postal Service – The legislation would provide the USPS funding to cover costs associated with mailing ballots both to and from voters in federal elections. This would allow states to save money by transitioning away from polling stations and reduce a major barrier for voters with the federal government absorbing the cost associated with USPS delivery.

Enact Automatic Voter Registration – States would be required to ensure that each citizen who provides identifying information to the state motor vehicle authority is automatically registered to vote. Voters are given 21 days to “opt out” if they do not wish to remain registered.
In addition to Cantwell and Wyden, U.S. Senators Tom Carper (D-DE), Cory Booker (D-NJ), Ed Markey (D-MA), Brian Schatz (D-HI), Chris Murphy (D-CT), Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), Sherrod Brown (D-OH), and Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) joined in the introduction of the bill.

Thief scolds mom for leaving child in backseat of car he stole
| null | null |
gorgenewscenter.com

An Oregon car thief who discovered a small child in the backseat of the SUV he was about to steal over the weekend drove back to the child’s mother, and chewed her out for leaving the child unattended, before driving off with the vehicle, according to police.
“He actually lectured the mother for leaving the child in the car and threatened to call the police on her,” Officer Matt Henderson, a Beaverton police spokesman tells The Oregonian.
The mother had reportedly left the car outside the entrance of a meat market — with the engine running and the doors unlocked — before going inside to buy a gallon of milk and some meat, Henderson said.
A store employee who helped the woman said she was only in the market for a few minutes before the thief began backing the SUV out of its parking space.
The thief quickly realized a four-year-old child was seated in a booster seat behind him, U-turned in an adjacent parking lot and returned to the mother to berate her for leaving the child in the car.
“He orders her to take the kid out of the car, and she does,” Henderson said.
The suspect, believed to be a man in his 20s or 30s, then proceeded to drive off in the stolen car.
“Obviously, we’re thankful he brought the little one back and had the decency to do that,” Henderson said.

"An Oregon car thief who discovered a small child in the backseat of the SUV he was about to steal over the weekend drove back to the child’s mother, and chewed her out for leaving the child unattended, before driving off with the vehicle, according to police.\n“He actually lectured the mother for leaving the child in the car and threatened to call the police on her,” Officer Matt Henderson, a Beaverton police spokesman tells The Oregonian.\nThe mother had reportedly left the car outside the entrance of a meat market — with the engine running and the doors unlocked — before going inside to buy a gallon of milk and some meat, Henderson said.\nA store employee who helped the woman said she was only in the market for a few minutes before the thief began backing the SUV out of its parking space.\nThe thief quickly realized a four-year-old child was seated in a booster seat behind him, U-turned in an adjacent parking lot and returned to the mother to berate her for leaving the child in the car.\n“He orders her to take the kid out of the car, and she does,” Henderson said.\nThe suspect, believed to be a man in his 20s or 30s, then proceeded to drive off in the stolen car.\n“Obviously, we’re thankful he brought the little one back and had the decency to do that,” Henderson said.",

They thought she was a goner but the cat came back… three years later

Cats really do have nine lives…
Three years after a pet cat supposedly died in a massive mudslide in January 2018, she was found less than a quarter of a mile away from her home.
Patches, a calico, managed to avoid being swept up by the debris while her owner, Josie Gower, unfortunately perished in the tragedy. 23 people died in the deadly Southern California mudslides.
Her other owner, Norm Borgatello, survived the deadly mudslides. He believed for three years that Patches had died, but then received a call telling him quite the opposite.
The Animal Shelter Assistance Program (ASAP) in Santa Barbara, California, picked up a stray cat and, upon scanning for a microchip, realized she was registered to someone they knew very well.
“It was a shock to discover, upon scanning her microchip, that she was, in fact, the long lost Patches,” ASAP said in a statement on Facebook. “Josie and her partner Norm (who miraculously survived that fateful night) were long-time supporters of ASAP, and when we discovered that Patches’ microchip was registered in Josie’s name, we were able to contact their family and facilitate a reunion no one thought possible.”
“[Borgatello] was overwhelmed when he came to pick her up on New Year’s Eve, as though he’d seen a ghost. And in a way, it was almost like he had,” continued ASAP.
ASAP said it is unclear what Patches had been doing over the past three years since her disappearance but that it was clear both Patches and Borgatello were thrilled to be reunited with each other.

PORTLAND, Ore. — There are three new COVID-19 related deaths in Oregon, raising the state’s death toll to 1,880, the Oregon Health Authority reported at 12:01 a.m. today.
Oregon Health Authority reported 582 new confirmed and presumptive cases of COVID-19 as of 12:01 a.m. today, bringing the state total to 138,168.
Vaccinations in Oregon
Today, OHA reported that 14,755 new doses of COVID-19 vaccinations were added to the state immunization registry. Of this total, 11,243 doses were administered on Jan. 23 and 3,512 were administered on previous days but were entered into the vaccine registry on Jan. 23.
Cumulative daily totals can take several days to finalize because providers have 72 hours to report doses administered and technical challenges have caused many providers to lag in their reporting. OHA has been providing technical support to vaccination sites to improve the timeliness of their data entry into the state’s ALERT Immunization Information System (IIS).
Oregon has now administered a cumulative total of 300,662 first and second doses of COVID-19 vaccines. All vaccinations were administered by Oregon hospitals, long-term care facilities, emergency medical service (EMS) agencies, urgent care facilities and Local Public Health Authorities (LPHAs).
To date, 492,450 doses of vaccine have been delivered to sites across Oregon.
These data are preliminary and subject to change. OHA’s dashboards provide regularly updated vaccination data and Oregon’s dashboard has been updated today.
COVID-19 hospitalizations
The number of hospitalized patients with COVID-19 across Oregon is 310, which the same as yesterday. There are 80 COVID-19 patients in intensive care unit (ICU) beds, which is three fewer than yesterday.
The total number of patients in hospital beds may fluctuate between report times. The numbers do not reflect admissions per day, nor the length of hospital stay. Staffing limitations are not captured in this data and may further limit bed capacity.

PARIS (AP) — Not even the coronavirus can stop intrepid reporter and comic book legend Tintin. Comic book lovers and tourists alike can catch a socially distanced glimpse of a drawing by Herge in Paris before it goes under the hammer Thursday, estimated to sell between 2 and 3 million euros and possibly set a record as the most expensive comic book art in history. The 1936 drawing in Chinese ink, gouache and watercolor, was destined as a cover for The Blue Lotus, the fifth volume of the Belgian journalist’s adventures. But it was rejected after being too expensive to reproduce on a wide scale, a victim of its own rare craftsmanship.

Two Oregon Men Face Federal Charges for Pocketing Millions in COVID-Relief Fraud Scheme
| null | null |
gorgenewscenter.com

EUGENE, Ore.—Two Oregon men are facing federal charges for fraudulently converting to their personal use loans intended to help small businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic, announced U.S. Attorney Billy J. Williams.
Andrew Aaron Lloyd, 50, of Lebanon, Oregon, and Russell A. Schort, 38, of Myrtle Creek, Oregon, have been charged by criminal complaint with wire fraud, bank fraud, and money laundering.
Lloyd and Schort took advantage of economic relief programs administered by the Small Business Administration (SBA), including Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDLs) and the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), as authorized by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. The CARES Act, signed into law on March 27, 2020, was designed to provide emergency financial assistance to millions of Americans and small businesses suffering the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to the complaint, the FBI began investigating Lloyd and Schort after discovering suspicious financial transactions indicating that the pair may have fraudulently obtained PPP loans. A review of bank records revealed that between April 7, 2020 and May 8, 2020, Lloyd and Schort applied for and received at least three PPP loan payments using three separate entities, totaling more than $2.2 million. The loan application packages included some of the same information across the different business entities, including the businesses’ physical locations and the names of several dozen employees.
After receiving the funds, Lloyd transferred at least $1.8 million to a personal online brokerage account and purchased various securities. In the months that followed, these investments substantially increased in value. On the date of the seizure, the securities purchased with the fraud proceeds and with a loan secured by equities purchased with fraud proceeds, were valued at over $10 million.
Schort was arrested on January 6, 2021 by FBI agents and made his initial appearance in federal court the same day. Lloyd was arrested today FBI agents and will make his initial appearance tomorrow, January 8, 2021, before a U.S. Magistrate Judge in Eugene.
This case was investigated by the FBI with assistance from the Small Business Association and IRS. It is being prosecuted by Gavin W. Bruce, Assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of Oregon.
Criminal complaints are only accusations of a crime, and defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
Anyone with information about allegations of attempted fraud involving COVID-19 can report it by calling the Department of Justice’s National Center for Disaster Fraud (NCDF) Hotline at 866-720-5721 or via the NCDF Web Complaint Form at: https://www.justice.gov/disaster-fraud/ncdf-disaster-complaint-form.

The loan application packages included some of the same information across the different business entities, including the businesses’ physical locations and the names of several dozen employees.\nAfter receiving the funds, Lloyd transferred at least $1.8 million to a personal online brokerage account and purchased various securities. In the months that followed, these investments substantially increased in value. On the date of the seizure, the securities purchased with the fraud proceeds and with a loan secured by equities purchased with fraud proceeds, were valued at over $10 million.\nSchort was arrested on January 6, 2021 by FBI agents and made his initial appearance in federal court the same day. Lloyd was arrested today FBI agents and will make his initial appearance tomorrow, January 8, 2021, before a U.S. Magistrate Judge in Eugene.\nThis case was investigated by the FBI with assistance from the Small Business Association and IRS. It is being prosecuted by Gavin W. Bruce, Assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of Oregon.\nCriminal complaints are only accusations of a crime, and defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.\nAnyone with information about allegations of attempted fraud involving COVID-19 can report it by calling the Department of Justice’s National Center for Disaster Fraud (NCDF) Hotline at 866-720-5721 or via the NCDF Web Complaint Form at: https://www.justice.gov/disaster-fraud/ncdf-disaster-complaint-form.",

Man posing as police officer arrested for stealing… *checks notes* a donut
| null | null |
gorgenewscenter.com
|
A man with sticky fingers learned that if you’re going to impersonate a police officer, don’t go after their life sustaining donuts.
KUTV reports that 47-year-old Daniel Mark Wright moseyed into the Lehi, Utah 7-Eleven on Monday and allowed his sweet tooth — and the devil on his shoulder — to get the better of him.
Wright, who was dressed in a “sheriff’s deputy” jacket lifted a single donut from the store and fled in his white Ford Truck.
Well, police reviewed security footage to find the guy who stole the precious confectionary treat, positively identifying him as Wright and tracking him down to the motel he was staying at the time.
The arrest report as written by a responding trooper goes as follows, “Officers knocked on the door and made contact with [Wright] as he opened the door and was asked to step outside. A female was also inside of the bedroom and was identified as Christian Olson. While the door was open, I observed the green Salt Lake County Sheriff’s jacket hanging in the entry-way closet.”
After questioning both, the wild donut chase turned into an investigation into Wright’s truck — which turned out to be stolen. D’oh.
Wright, who was arrested, faces impersonation of an officer, receiving or transfer of a stolen vehicle, and theft charges.
A deeper look into his and his accomplice’s rap sheet found that they also led police on a 60-mile chase across two counties in the state that weekend and that they’re being federally investigated for racketeering.
That said, don’t steal donuts. The police will track you down and then find out all your secrets.

HOT SAUCE PLEDGE
| null | null |
gorgenewscenter.com

STORRS, Conn. (AP) — Because of a promise that came out of his mouth, a UConn fan had to put something into his mouth — something that burned his mouth. It all started last week when Bryan Jackson watched his beloved Huskies slip to an 18-point deficit to Marquette at halftime. What’s worse, the Huskies had lost their top player to injury. So Jackson went on Twitter and promised he’d drink a spoonful of hot sauce if the Huskies came back to win. That’s exactly what happened; the Huskies rallied to victory. And that meant Jackson had to make good on his pledge. So, Jackson posted another tweet, this one showing him downing a large spoonful of Black Bison hot sauce. He then took another swig from the bottle, all the while chanting U-C-O-N-N, UConn, Uconn, Uconn.

NEW YORK (AP) — The Board of Hipgnosis Songs Fund Limited, a U.K.-based investment company, has acquired 100 percent of Grammy-winning superstar Shakira’s music publishing rights. Hipgnosis made the announcement Wednesday. Shakira’s catalog includes 145 songs, including “Hips Don’t Lie,” “Whenever, Wherever,” “La Tortura,” “She Wolf” and “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa).” Shakira released her debut album in 1991 at age 13 and rose to international fame with her third album, 1995’s “Pies Descalzos.” The multitalented singer-songwriter-instrumentalist took the American pop scene by storm when she made her U.S. language debut, “Laundry Service,” in 2001. The announcement of Hipgnosis acquiring Shakira’s catalog comes a week after the company purchased a 50 percent stake in Neil Young’s music.

NEW YORK (AP) — The incoming director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is arriving at an agency that has been relegated to the sidelines during the coronavirus pandemic. Dr. Rochelle Walensky arrives at the CDC this week as the virus’ U.S. death toll eclipses 400,000 and the nation’s largest ever vaccination campaign is wracked by confusion and delays. Experts say that while the agency has retained some of its top scientific talent, it has a long list of needs, including protection from political influence, a review of its own missteps during the pandemic and more money.

U.S. hospital intensive care units in many parts of the country are straining to handle record numbers of COVID-19 patients. These hospital units take care of the sickest of the sick. Some are running out of space and supplies, while scrambling to pay the soaring rates of temporary traveling nurses. Hundreds of ICUs are struggling at the same time, with many clustered in the South and West. An Associated Press analysis shows that since November, the share of U.S. hospitals nearing the breaking point has doubled. More than 40% of Americans live in areas running out of ICU beds. Experts say sustained surges can jeopardize the quality of care in ICUs.

Will you be my bridesmaid… and also follow these strict 37 rules?
| null | null |
gorgenewscenter.com

Being a bridesmaid comes with a lot of responsibility in itself, but one bride upped the ante when she presented potential members of her bridal party with a bridesmaid contract complete with 37 rules to follow.
According to British publication Daily Mail, the bride-to-be posted a copy of the contract to Facebook where she explained that her decision to draft it came after seeing a “lot of posts about issues with bridesmaids” from newlyweds.
The contract contains guidelines for how her bridesmaids are to act during both the planning of the wedding and on the actual big day. Requests include that members of the bridal party not “outdo the bride in any way,” that they save at least $50 per month for the 14 months leading up to the wedding to pay for their expenses, and that they “will not grow sensitive and angry with the bride because I understand that she has a bossy attitude.”
The bride also placed strict rules on how much alcohol the bridal party can consume during wedding events and forbid them from dating anyone else in the bridal party if they were not already dating prior.
While some would argue that 37 rules is a bit much, the bride revealed that over half of those she asked to be bridesmaids accepted.
“I started with 10, ended with six. I refused to be stressed. I didn’t budge on any of it,” she said.

TORONTO (AP) — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is warning that his government could impose stricter restrictions on travelers at any moment in response to new, likely more contagious variants of the coronavirus. That could include making it mandatory to quarantine in a hotel at their own expense when they arrive in Canada. Trudeau said Friday that such measures could be imposed suddenly and bluntly warned against nonessential trips abroad. Canada already requires those entering the country to self-isolate for 14 days and to present a negative COVID-19 test taken within three days before arrival. The suggested measure would require isolating at a hotel rather than at home.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) — The last federal inmate facing execution before President Donald Trump leaves office was sentenced to death for the killings of three women in a Maryland wildlife refuge. Dustin Higgs is scheduled to be executed on Friday at the federal prison in Terre Haute, Indiana. Defense attorneys say it is undisputed that Higgs didn’t kill anyone. They have argued that it is arbitrary and inequitable to execute Higgs while a man who fatally shot three women in 1996 was sentenced to life in prison. Higgs was convicted of first-degree murder and kidnapping in the killings of 19-year-old Tamika Black, 23-year-old Mishann Chinn and 21-year-old Tanji Jackson.
