A football fan was spotted carrying a whopping 48 beers through a football stadium as he moved back to his seat. Christiaan Roetgering has earned celebrity status in the Netherlands after he was seen tip-toeing his way through the De Grolsch Veste Stadium over the weekend. Roetgering, 23, was watching his FC Twente side face Eredivisie rivals Willem II on Sunday. And with the scores tied 1-1 at the halfway point, Roetgering was staked by his friends to go and collect the half-time beers. "I always go to the game with a group of friends, and each time one of us has the job of getting the beers in," Roetgering explained via The Sun . "This time, it was my turn, and I didn't fancy having to keep going back and forth to the bar. "So I decided to get everything in one visit. "I had to carry the trays through a passageway and up some stairs, but it all went fine. "But it's not a record - my friend Jochen has managed in the past to carry 50 beers in …

Eddie Howe considered “perfect stop gap” for Newcastle after telling pals he’s keen
Darren Bent considered Eddie Howe as the perfect 'stop-gap' for Newcastle United as the Magpies prepare for a relegation battle despite their new owners. Newcastle started electrically over the weekend, and Callum Wilson nodded the Toon Army ahead within five minutes. However, Tottenham Hotspurs responded by hitting Newcastle three times before half-time - handing Spurs the three points on Sunday. And with Steve Bruce's days looking numbered, Bent has recommended Newcastle make a move for Howe, who is currently out of a job. Speaking to talkSPORT , the former Aston Villa striker revealed he believes Howe is the perfect 'stop-gap' for the Toon Army. "What he did at Bournemouth , I thought was remarkable, in terms of where he took them. "Bottom of League Two , nearly going out of business, all the way to the Premier League , I mean, that is fantastic. "I think that's the issue they're going to have, someone like Eddie Howe he's not …

Olivier Giroud has hailed Mason Mount and Kai Havertz as ‘different class’ and backed the Chelsea duo to reach the very top of the game.

Liverpool star Mohamed Salah is the best forward in the world, says ex-Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger
Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has named Mohamed Salah as the finest attacking player on the planet on current form and believes the Egyptian’s ‘intelligence’ is what sets him apart. Salah has scored 10 goals in his opening 10 appearances of the season for Liverpool, with the Merseyside giants tipped as a genuine force in the Premier League title race once again. A pair of solo wonder strikes in Liverpool’s last two games against Manchester City and Watford proved beyond doubt that Salah has returned to his frightening best and the 29-year-old is among the 30 nominees for this year’s Ballon d’Or award . He will no doubt be desperate to increase his goals tally this evening as the Reds prepare to do battle with La Liga champions Atletico Madrid in a mouthwatering Champions League encounter at the Wanda Metropolitano. Speaking ahead of tonight’s Group B clash, Wenger told beIN SPORTS: ‘He’s top, top class and he’s certainly the best striker at the moment …
Duchess of Cambridge: Addiction is not a choice and none of us are immune
Addiction is not a choice and none of us are immune, the Duchess of Cambridge has said in a landmark speech to beat the “taboo and shame” that surrounds it. The Duchess , speaking at the Forward Trust’s Taking Action on Addiction campaign, said “no one chooses to become an addict, but it can happen to any one of us”. In her speech, aimed at breaking the stigma of addiction, the Duchess urged the public to try to understand the “multi-layered and complex” journey towards addiction, which has been compounded by the “devastating impact” of the Covid-19 pandemic. Echoing the mission of her late mother-in-law Diana, Princess of Wales, to change society’s attitude towards difficult, unglamorous topics, she said: “By recognising what lies beneath addiction, we can help remove the taboo and shame that sadly surrounds it.” Wearing a striking red dress and carrying a folder of notes, the Duchess spoke in front of an audience of charities, patrons, former addicts, their supporters …

It’s sad to see the immigration debate once again reduced to the numbers game
It is sad to see the immigration debate once again reduced to the numbers game. Will immigration rise or fall is the question repeatedly asked of the MPs standing in the general election . The question is entirely irrelevant and economically illiterate. Net migration (the difference between those going out versus those coming in) rises and falls according to the wellbeing or otherwise of the economy. If the economy is buoyant, then people will come in to work. This is especially important in a country like the UK, with its rapidly ageing population – the ratio of under-18s to over-65s is closing all the time. Equally, if the economy is in recession, there will not be work available, so people will not be coming into the country. Indeed, unless it is a worldwide recession they are likely to be heading out to other places that have the work required. The numbers game is entirely irrelevant and has caused untold damage – including helping prepare the ground for …

NASA drops ‘insensitive’ celestial nicknames in effort to address systemic discrimination
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has announced that they will stop using nicknames of celestial bodies that are culturally insensitive. In a statement released on Wednesday, August 5, NASA said that it had become clear that certain cosmic nicknames were not only insensitive but actively harmful and that they were taking these initial steps to address systemic discrimination and inequality in all aspects of the field. “As an initial step, NASA will no longer refer to planetary nebula NGC 2392, the glowing remains of a Sun-like star that is blowing off its outer layers at the end of its life, as the “Eskimo Nebula,” NASA said in the statement. “Eskimo” is widely viewed as a colonial term with a racist history, imposed on the indigenous people of Arctic regions. Most official documents have moved away from its use.” MORE: Student asked to change her name to make it sound English says she hopes experience can empower people NASA also said …
