The story behind Man City’s pursuit of Messi, Neymar and Suarez Inter hosts Southampton in Europa League Group K on Thursday looking to end a run of three consecutive defeats in all competitions, the last of which – Sunday’s 2-1 home loss to Cagliari – was played out amid a poisonous atmosphere at San Siro.

Speaking ahead of Belgium’s friendly at home to Mexico on Friday, Hazard was quick to concede his compatriot is currently number one in England’s top flight....
De Gea is undoubtedly the first-choice shot-stopper at United, having made 35 Premier League starts last season. But the Spain international is consistently linked with Madrid, the club he almost joined in August 2015. Bet on Man Utd to win the PL While a De Gea exit would likely give Romero more opportunities, the Argentina goalkeeper said he wanted his team-mate to stay. “It’s better for the club that there is this competition there between me and David,” he told UK newspapers....
Auba wants out of Dortmund Most supporters understandably had one eye on Saturday’s crucial match with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge but a dismal 2-1 defeat in rainy north London has surely now lessened the impact which Saturday’s game will have.

Hopkins made this statement on his Instagram page while saying he’s joining a petition to remove Calhoun’s name from the school’s honors college. Calhoun served as vice president under John Quincy Adams from 1825 to 1829, but he’s a controversial figure because of his stance on slavery which he says is not “evil,” but rather a “positive good." Calhoun’s bio on Clemson’s official website claims he “not only owned an antebellum southern agricultural plantation of over 1,000 acres of land, but also some 70-80 enslaved African-Americans....

The woman, who was visiting with her 12-year-old son, said in a post on Mumsnet that she had not planned on splurging on food when she first agreed to spend the evening with a close friend and her three children. However, her mood worsened when the friend revealed the total cost of the meal was £92 ($104) and she expected her to pay half. But despite her protestations, many online felt it was perfectly acceptable for her to cough up the cash, regardless of whether she was a guest or not....
In Donisthorpe Woodland Park, decapitated rabbits have been found floating in a river over recent weeks, while fish were found pinned to stakes, with one left on a wooden staircase. All these animals were left in full public view at the popular beauty spot in Leicestershire, central England. Local police don’t know who is responsible for these acts.

Those hidebound ways are about to change. The Nasdaq Stock Market last week began pricing securities in increments of one sixteenth; so did the venerable New York Stock Exchange. The American Stock Exchange made the switch earlier this year. And under pressure from Congress and regulators, all three plan eventually to abandon awkward fractions altogether. Stocks would instead be priced the way everything else is, in straight dollars and cents....

Regional organizations like ECOWAS are better suited for peacekeeping than the United Nations. Soldiers need to be ready to die to achieve their objectives. But the ranks of U.N. peacekeeping forces are increasingly filled by a grab bag of soldiers from poor countries, motivated by a per diem and the prospect of sand and sun, if not sex, in an exotic foreign clime. It is difficult for such soilders to fathom the real importance of their assignments....

When The Washington Post exposed wretched conditions at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, the Bush team responded as if Texas had been invaded. The behind-the-scenes scramble to rectify the mess at the facility and to take better care of veterans is revealing of a new way of doing things in the Bush administration....
