When hurricane season ends

Locke and Key has become the latest in a long line of Netflix shows to come to an end after three seasons. The streamer has announced that the fantasy show is to end with its upcoming Season 3. Co-showrunners Carlton Cuse and Meredith Averill released a statement that revealed their reasons as to why Locke and Key is ending—a statement that seems to contradict what they have previously said about the show. Season 3 of the show was filmed back to back with the last set of episodes, and is expected on the streamer this year. Why Is 'Locke and Key' Ending? Per Cuse and Averill's statement: "Once we began working on the series, we felt three seasons was the ideal length to bring the story of the Locke family and their Keyhouse adventures to a satisfying conclusion." However, as recently as November 2021, TheGWW.com asked the team whether the show could return for Season 4. Averill said: "We'd love to do many, many seasons of the show. We love the show. The show has many … [Read more...] about Why ‘Locke and Key’ is ending with Season 3 on Netflix

It took 11 minutes for Rob Holding to show his hand before the defender’s evening came to an abrupt end just over 20 minutes later and Arsenal’s 13th sending-off since the appointment of Mikel Arteta might prove to be their most expensive yet. Arsenal still hold a one-point advantage in the race for the lucrative prize that is Champions League qualification and yet Holding’s 33 minutes of madness have swung momentum in Tottenham Hotspur’s direction. Arteta was looking for somebody to blame after Arsenal’s defeat , claiming he would be suspended for six months if he revealed his true feelings, but the Spaniard would do well to review his own performance, along with Holding’s horror show. During the opening 20 minutes, Arteta had actually used most of his energy signalling for his players to keep their calm, during which time Tottenham’s head coach Antonio Conte was booked for losing his cool and running down the touchline to complain about a yellow card Ben Davies was shown. … [Read more...] about Arsenal bench looks on in disbelief as horror show threatens to derail season’s work

It may be some time before the Brian Clough Trophy is contested again, and Derby County are now facing a crucial 10 days in their future. With the threat of liquidation hanging over them, the situation is critical as Derby’s administrators race to secure a preferred bidder who can provide the funds to finish the season and then, finally, complete a takeover. Derby have been in administration for four months and must show the Football League proof of the finance needed to fulfil their remaining fixtures by Feb 1, or risk expulsion. Three parties, including former Newcastle owner Mike Ashley, are interested in purchasing the club and against this turbulent backdrop, manager Wayne Rooney continues to enhance his reputation. This was the 100th league meeting between these famous old clubs, with Forest extending their unbeaten run against their rivals down the Brian Clough Way dual carriageway to 10 matches. Now the focus will turn to Quantuma, the Derby administrators, who are charged … [Read more...] about Wayne Rooney pleads for end to Derby takeover saga as Nottingham Forest win feisty ‘Brian Clough Trophy’

The post on Coleen Rooney’s Instagram account was a warning. “Don’t play games,” she wrote, “with a girl who can play better.” At times during this week’s ‘Wagatha Christie’ libel trial, Rebekah Vardy must have wished she’d heeded it. Vardy brought this action, intent on clearing her name after Rooney accused her of being the “grass” who leaked stories from her private social media account to a tabloid newspaper. Yet during three gruelling days of cross-examination, the wife of Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy has resembled a defendant – and one who occasionally appeared to be struggling to get her story straight. At the half-time whistle on Thursday, it looked to be game over. But, as any football fan knows, you can never rule out an upset. After Rooney’s first day on the witness stand on Friday, the outcome appears a little less certain. The Royal Courts of Justice has seen nothing quite like this . When Mrs Justice Steyn dreamt of becoming a High Court judge, is this what … [Read more...] about Wagatha Christie: our half-time report as the grudge match of the season plays out

The 1980s Los Angeles Lakers were one of the most dominant teams in sports. At a time when professional basketball was on its heels, the Lakers brought new excitement: Magic Johnson versus Larry Bird, Jerry Buss and the glitzy Forum Club, and an up-tempo flow offense. That’s the story of HBO’s big-budget series Winning Time , whose Season 1 finale aired on Sunday, May 8. David Sims, Vann R. Newkirk II, and Ross Andersen—three of The Atlantic ’s biggest basketball fans—get together to discuss the series. What do they make of the accusations from former players that the show is inaccurately over-the-top? Does the producer Adam McKay’s style energize and streamline the show—or just add distraction on top of the glut of story lines? And how do you dramatize a history with a well-known outcome? Listen to their discussion here: The Review : Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Stitcher | Pocket Casts The following transcript has been edited for length and clarity. It contains … [Read more...] about The Frenetic Basketball Nostalgia of Winning Time

Situation critical for Derby County, a club in freefall with a manager, Wayne Rooney, under increasing pressure and facing relegation to the third tier for the first time since 1986. Rooney is preparing for one of the most significant matches in Derby’s recent history this weekend, operating against a backdrop of turmoil which has plunged the Championship club into crisis. With only one victory from the last 12 matches, Derby are in serious danger and Rooney's first managerial assignment is proving more difficult than he could have ever envisaged . It is only three months since he was deservedly appointed , and at that time few supporters would have predicted the season ending like this. Off-field issues, including a failed takeover by Bin Zayed International , and Derby’s ongoing dispute with the Football League have hung over Pride Park like a dark cloud and remain unresolved. Four successive defeats have ensured Saturday’s home game against Birmingham is potentially … [Read more...] about Derby County in crisis: Doubts over Wayne Rooney, Steve McClaren ‘sidelined’ and relegation threat looming

Erik ten Hag has "terminated" his contract early so he can start working with this underwhelming Manchester United squad early. The now-former Ajax boss was announced as Ralf Rangnick's successor earlier this year as the club continues to spiral out of control in what is another trophyless season for the club. During his tenure at Ajax, the former footballer has managed to lead the team to the semi-finals of the Champions League where the inexperienced side was knocked out by a late winner against Tottenham in 2019 as well as winning the Eredivisie twice, the Dutch Cup twice and the Dutch Super Cup once. Now, it has been reported that the incoming Manchester United manager is set to leave his position early and join United to begin work with the downbeat and lacklustre United team who currently lie sixth in the Premier League. The relatively inexperienced manager, who is yet to manage in any of Europe's 'top five' leagues, has already been rumoured to be eying up former Ajax … [Read more...] about Erik ten Hag ‘terminates contract early’ to work with Man Utd flops ahead of schedule

A major rift has emerged in the flu vaccination strategy being adopted by England and other Home Nations. While the Government has said England will ditch the Covid measures which saw the annual flu vaccine given free to adults aged 50-64 and secondary school children aged 11 to 15, Scotland and Wales have broken ranks and declared they will continue to offer a free jab to these groups. Prior to the Covid pandemic, flu vaccination was offered throughout the UK annually to over-65s, primary school children and at-risk groups such as pregnant women and diabetics. England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland extended the programme in winter 2020 to include millions of adults aged 50-64, as well as teenagers, to limit the number of people hospitalised with flu when wards were being over-run with Covid patients. The return to the pre-pandemic vaccination programme in England comes at a time when experts fear the UK is heading for the worst flu season since the start of the Covid … [Read more...] about As England dumps free NHS flu jabs for the over-50s, Scotland carries on… so which is right, asks ETHAN ENNALS

Brendon McCullum is likely to make relaxing England's midnight team curfew one of his first big decisions after signing a four-year £2million contract as the team's new Test head coach. It is understood Ben Stokes is keen for the curfew to be dropped and he is unlikely to meet opposition from McCullum, who will want to build a good working relationship with his captain from day one as they embark on a partnership that could include two Ashes series over the length of his deal. The midnight curfew has been in place since 2017 when it was imposed by then team director Sir Andrew Strauss after a string of late-night drinking sessions became public. He acted after Jonny Bairstow’s playful headbutt in a Perth nightclub emerged during the first Ashes Test of the 2017-18 tour and followed on from Stokes’s arrest in Bristol, which happened in the early hours of the morning after a one-day international against West Indies. The curfew was irrelevant during the pandemic because players … [Read more...] about Brendon McCullum likely to relax midnight curfew in first decision as England Test head coach
