HERE'S a stat that'll make you think twice about the men's game being more popular than the women's. Last week, Tottenham Women made a huge statement in the WSL by signing USA star Alex Morgan on a season-long loan from Orlando Pride.

‘Disgusting’ bloke uses filthy train seat as a dining table while sitting cross-legged on floor
THIS is the stomach-churning moment a "disgusting" bloke uses a filthy train seat as a dining table while sitting cross-legged on the floor. The sickening photo shows a man sitting on the floor as he digs in his takeaway meal while travelling on a service in Perth. The passenger, dressed in jeans and a dark T-shirt, was spotted using the train seat as a table and a plate as he casually continued scrolling on his phone. The disgusting image was posted on Facebook by The Bell Tower Times, on Monday. The caption reads "Improvise, adapt, overcome. Don't miss out on all those seat flavours".

Brazil Covid variant in UK: Where was it found, is it deadlier and do vaccines work?
The UK's first cases of the Brazil variant of coronavirus have been detected, with up to six people infected with the mutant strain. An urgent search was launched to find one of the six as officials have no idea who they are or where they live. That's because that person didn't fill in their test registration card. The P.1 variant is one of four variants of concern, and measures were brought in to prevent it from being brought into the country. However, they were too late, as a handful of travellers, who returned despite a ban on direct flights and days before quarantine hotels were brought in, have now tested positive for the variant, which may spread more rapidly and may respond less well to existing vaccines.
