Newcastle United fans’ boycott: The stories behind the protest
Bryan Bell nearly missed the birth of his daughter because Newcastle United were playing at home. It was only Wolves in the Championship, but 20 years of loyalty is hard-wired.

The double, who was standing on the stage many yards away, was younger and looked Asian but wore a similar lace minidress and a wig in Madonna’s current hairstyle, a ’30s movie star’s crimped blond waves.“It’s always the second person with the wig — she wants to see it,” a stage designer said, adding that when she makes a decision, she is definitive.Madonna was observing Madonna to make sure Madonna was doing everything perfectly.
