J urgen Klopp’s crisis is no longer in danger of turning into a drama after a sequence of four Premier League defeats in the past month was ended with a win against Sheffield United. It may have lacked the all-conquering conviction of last season’s many and frequent victories, it may have been against a side who have only won once at home all season, but Klopp will not mind. The bark of triumph he emitted as his team scored their second goal made it clear that, right now, any win will do. His nightmare February is over. It was 20 years to the day since Klopp made his managerial debut with Mainz. In the intervening decades, in which he has won the small matter of a Champions League, Premier League and two Bundesliga titles, rarely can he have been through a sequence as dispiriting as his side’s recent run. And before this game, his mood cannot have been much raised by the fact first-choice goalkeeper, Alisson Becker, was absent on compassionate leave after losing his father.

Chilling footage shows young girls crying and screaming in terror at ‘ghost’ that mum can’t see
THIS eerie clip shows the moment two young girls run and scream in terror after apparently seeing something the camera didn't pick up. The video posted on YouTube captioned '"Girls see ghost and run" has resurfaced and now has been viewed more than a million times. In the footage, two friends are eating at a small plastic table, when the girl facing into the dark bit of the kitchen begins to look around the corner and make sounds of distress. She says: "That scared me" as the mum filming tells her: "I just turned off the light", but she continues to look past her friend and into the seemingly empty room behind. Her friend laughs loudly and attempts to scare her with noises, and when the mum asks what she is afraid of, the girl points into the kitchen before breaking down in tears. She then quickly walks away from the kitchen towards the adult in obvious discomfort and her friend continues to laugh at her from the table.

In March last year, the retail worker hopped on a plane from her home in Northern Ireland to visit a guy she'd been casually dating who lived in Manchester. Before the trip, Lauren, 27, had only been on four dates with Dan after they'd been introduced at a friend's wedding. Speaking to the Manchester Evening News , Lauren explained: "When driving to the airport on the Friday, my dad jokingly said 'you better come back on Monday'." However the following week, the UK went into total lockdown - and Lauren and Dan's found they'd accidentally jumped a few steps ahead in their relationship and spent months living in each other's pockets. "It was really hard at first," Lauren said. "All I had with me was just a few bits of clothing, makeup and my toothbrush – it really wasn’t ideal!" Unsurprisingly, Lauren found … [Read more...] about I accidentally moved in with a guy I barely knew in lockdown after just four dates – now I’m never flying home
Cancer patient begs those with symptoms to not delay in seeing their GP despite ongoing Covid pandemic
PEOPLE with troubling and unusual symptoms shouldn't delay in seeing their GP despite the Covid-19 pandemic, a cancer patient has warned. Breast cancer patient Alison Tait said early diagnoses could "save your life". Coronavirus restrictions have meant that Brits have been advised to "stay at home to protect the NHS" but this has meant that many people have been left feeling anxious about visiting their GP. Mum Alison Tait was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2016 and was told it had spread to her liver. The lockdowns have been distressing for many people, but for Alison they have meant she had to attend her appointments alone. Despite this she is still urging others to come forward if they have any signs or symptoms of cancer. Speaking to The Sun, Alison said: "I can understand why people might be wary of going to their GP at the moment, but it’s so important to do so. "The sooner cancer is diagnosed the better the chance of successful treatment, so it … [Read more...] about Cancer patient begs those with symptoms to not delay in seeing their GP despite ongoing Covid pandemic
