aAs a Liverpool fan, all I want is for Arsenal to score early and for the Hammers to be resolute in defense for at least the first half,a writes Joe Pearson. aThen City can crush all our neutralsa dreams with a devastating second half rout. For myself, Iam watching Kloppas Last Rodeo, but Iall be checking in with you to know when itas all over.a

Itas odd that, in Europeas other big leagues, the leaders are often overtaken on the final day. Never seems to happen in England though. Even 1988-89 was slightly different because the top two were playing each other (although Arsenal still needed a miracle). In the 1990s and early 2000s, in particular, it happened all the time in Italy, Germany and Spain. Maybe todayas the day for good old English jeopardy to strike back.

At Bellaas Hacienda Ranch, a brothel on the outskirts of the rural Nevada truckstop town of Wells, a half-priced special for adult male virgins this May has gone off with a bang.

When Boris the fantail arrived in Callum Percyas life in 2020, the 29-year-old trainee teacher was immediately smitten. Boris had been discovered by a family friend in a dishevelled state after what looked like a run-in with a sparrow hawk, its blond-white tail as fluffy as a cumulus cloud.
aWe called him Boris after the prime minister as his feathers were all over the place when we found him,a Callum laughs as his 13-strong flock of fantails, frillbacks and capuchines coo in the aviary behind him.
