John Stones says he would pay 'a lot of money' to watch Manchester City teammate David Silva play football for the rest of his life. The Spanish midfielder has shown no signs of slowing down ahead of his 33rd birthday in January, with seven goals in 15 City appearances this season. Silva has been central to the Blues' success since arriving from Valencia in 2010, and Stones said it was an easy decision when asked which of his teammates he would pay to watch. "David Silva. 100%," the England defender, who signed for City from Everton in 2016, told Premier League Productions' Fanmail feature. "I’d pay a lot of money to watch him play for the rest of his life." Silva announced his retirement from international football in August and his success with La Roja was marked with a ceremonial kick-off in Spain's game against Bosnia and Herzegovina in his home town of Las Palmas on Sunday night. And Stones, who featured in England's win against Croatia on the same day, says Silva never … [Read more...] about John Stones reveals the ‘silky’ Man City player he would pay to watch play
Man Utd could already have the player to turn their season around
Premier League managers normally watch their players on international duty from behind the sofa, but Jose Mourinho might just have come out of hiding when Jesse Lingard scored his second goal in as many games for England against Croatia. How United have missed Lingard so far this season. His game intelligence, ability to link midfield and attack and knack of popping up with important goals were all valuable to Mourinho's side last term. But the 25-year-old lightens the mood of any team he's in. While United can occasionally seem locked in Mourinho's tactical straitjacket, Lingard has the ability to free them. He plays with a sense of fun and freedom and that is something United badly need. It's been a frustrating season so far for Lingard, with just seven starts for his club as he battled a World Cup hangover and a niggling injury. The last week might just be the catalyst he needs to rediscover his best form though. It was at this stage of last season that it clicked for Lingard and … [Read more...] about Man Utd could already have the player to turn their season around

The fleece has made an unlikely comeback for 2018
A garment most of us associate with dorky dads, dog walkers and Springwatch’s Chris Packham has come in from the cold to become one of this season’s must-have items. Enter the unassuming fleece jacket. It’s a wintry staple that’s not only eco-friendly but also a damn sight cheaper than cashmere. The fabric is cosy yet lightweight, which is why it’s long been popular with fans of the great outdoors. American brand Patagonia is behind the creation of the fleece, which it launched back in the 1980s as a means of improving on wool, which can often feel itchy and heavy when wet. These days the label is producing more stylish takes on this sturdy favourite, as are Neighborhood, Carhartt and Penfield In fact, in 2018 you’re more likely to spot a fleece jacket on fashionable kids than hikers and birdwatchers. Why? Because it’s unpretentious, functional, comfortable and affordable. It might have started out on … [Read more...] about The fleece has made an unlikely comeback for 2018

Talking to Big Issue, he said: "Theresa May, bless her, just got that job by default. "Boris Johnson running around with his stupid haircut spouting b******s. "Young people look and think: 'If these are the people running the country, why shouldn't I go and loot and riot?'" He added: "They just don't give a f***. This us against them-type vibe has got worse. "We are living in an age of food banks. How the f*** did that happen? Seriously."

Who we voted in to be our prime minister, who purely for his own ego decided to call a referendum just to get rid of Nigel Farage.
