Andy plays every game like its his last and I think that comes from the fact that the guy at one point was in a dead-end job and didn't think he was going anywhere. Then all this happened and I think that he developed a work ethic that makes him think that he is privileged to be part of a team and a sport that he always wanted to be in. His display on the pitch is a clear reflection of how much he loves the sport and where he has come from. In a realm where you have muppets downing tools and starting feuds with managers (yes Pogba that's you) just because you've achieved something its refreshing to see a player that works hard every single time and leaves his best on the pitch. I don't think he even cares who he is up against he treats them the same.2 points

Giving a woman a foot rub or a relaxing massage is ok but licking between the toes/toe sucking etc is not on my list of desirable erotic must do's... I would put running through nettles naked or dressing up as a deer in the lion enclosure up the zoo ahead of that... There are far more fascinating/erotic/sexy areas to visit on a womans body than being down where the shoes have just been kicked off...2 points

Went to last nights game. Scrapy Chelsea and a very well set up Bournemouth resulted in a boring evening which was decided on a deflected goal off a Bournemouth defenders hand. A lot of people today are landing plaudits on Bournemouth for the way they were set up defensively and hit well on the break\counter attack. Truth is they were never really in the game as far as a possible winning team. In fact, they looked to me completely different team to the one who came here in the league a few weeks ago and looked for a large part of the game as thou they believed they were on a par with us. I guess their recent form has taken a huge lump out of their confidence. Probably good for us that they were set up in this way as we again started a 2nd string, a 2nd string who knocked the ball about in the manner this manager likes and promptly got nowhere throughout the game. Yes a couple of good opportunities were manufactured, but through a longer ball being played to a forward position. Talking of forwards, Giroud was terrible last night. There have been games where I have cried out for him to start over Morata and to never see our best player sacrificed through the middle, but last night performance was as poor as any Morata start. I know he has no legs but I would hope he would knit things together better than Morata. The thing is the players who started along with him found it difficult to pass the ball too his feet. He just doesnt have the mobility to move his body to an area for the other players to exploit. Disappointing and its the position that most needs attention in the next window. Who that player should be is beyond me, but there should be someone at the club who has a couple of options penciled in as possibles. There has been lots of nice words about Reuben Loftus-Cheek over the past few appearances. As ever, I am fully aware how lovely he looks while the ball is at his feet moving towards the oppositions goal. What people who were watching the goal on a stream or tv didnt see was him bent over with his hands on his knees knackerd while his fellow team mates were running back towards our goal trying to defend a Bournemouth counter attack. This happened from around the 70th minute of the game and credit to the manager he was right onto Ruben. It also must be highlighted later in the game Ruben did put a shift in to defend against a counter attack. My opinion of him has not changed, he is still only half a player. Granted the good half shows us a positive attacking threat, he is a waste of space without the ball and until he changes he cant be trusted. Quick word for Willian who put a good shift in while he was on the pitch and Dave gave a solid display at Right full back. Alas the left back is proving to be no danger to Alonso which is a tremendous shame. I think everyone agrees Alonso needs pressure to be put on him as his defensive displays have not been good enough ever since he has been at the club. Lucky for him the bloke behind him is as bad at defending as himself.1 point

Rogue One: 7.5/10 Re-watched it. Probably my 3rd favorite of the franchise being beaten by ESB and Revenge of the Sith. Aside Disney desperately trying too hard to push diversity, thought the characters were at least somewhat believable (minus Ip man. The fuck he doing there? ) The last 5 minutes of the film in my opinion is the best moment in the series.1 point

Indian footballer Gourav Mukhi - discovered to be aged 28 - suspended for six months after pretending to be 16-year-old Nathan Salt For Mailonline 11 hrs ago © Daily Mail Indian footballer Gourav Mukhi Gourav Mukhi looked to have made history in the Indian Super League when he became their youngest goal scorer in October at the age of 16. But the player has now been suspended for six months having been exposed as a fraud after it emerged he is actually 28 and not a teenager as listed on league documents. The historical goal came when the Jamshedpur FC striker netted a crucial equalizer in a 2-2 draw with Bengaluru FC. 'The AIFF Disciplinary Committee also observed that the existing registration of Gourav Mukhi, both in the Central Registration System (CRS) as well as the Competition Management System (CMS) shall stand canceled and revoked with immediate effect, with liberty upon the player/his appropriate club, to submit original valid appropriate documents for fresh registration under CRS and CMS.' This is not the first time Mukhi has been caught out for giving out false information over his age. Back in 2015, he was pulled up in an India U16 National Camp in for being too old to take part. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/sport/football/indian-footballer-gourav-mukhi-discovered-to-be-aged-28-suspended-for-six-months-after-pretending-to-be-16-year-old/ar-BBRcjW2?ocid=chromentp1 point

Just shows how little we know about the universe despite all the progress we've made in the last few decades... Still waiting for the hypothetical Planet Nine to be found in the outer solar system beyond Neptune. Based on evidence and modeling work, it's expected to be 10 times more massive than Earth and to take tens thousands of Earth years to orbit the sun.1 point

A Dwarf planet is the most distant solar system object we’ve ever observed Mary Beth Griggs 2 hrs ago © Roberto Molar Candanosa/Carnegie Institution for Science Astronomers have spotted a new object that’s the most distant ever discovered in our solar system— a dwarf planet that’s roughly four times farther away from the Sun than Pluto. The discovery was announced on Monday by the International Astronomical Union’s Minor Planet Center. When Scott Sheppard, who helped detect the dwarf planet, first saw how slowly the distant object moved across the sky, he had one thought, murmured quietly to himself: “far out.” He was amazed, because to astronomers like Sheppard, a slow object is a very distant object in our solar system. And this one was extraordinary. “It was the slowest-moving object we’ve ever seen,” Sheppard, an astronomer at the Carnegie Institution for Science says. By measuring how slowly the dwarf planet moved across the sky, Sheppard and his colleagues calculated that the object, now known as 2018 VG18 (and nicknamed ‘Farout’), was at least 120 astronomical units (AU) away from Earth. For perspective, one AU is the distance between the Earth and the sun, or 93 million miles away. © Roberto Molar Candanosa/Carnegie Institution for Science That puts Farout at around the same distance from Earth as Voyager 2, the space probe that recently crossed into interstellar space. Another spacecraft, Voyager 1, is even farther away at 145 AU and is getting farther all the time. These extreme distances mean that figuring out what’s going on with the Voyager spacecraft is hard enough, but discovering what’s happening with other, natural objects in these outer reaches of the solar system is far more challenging. It took an international team of astronomers to confirm the existence of Farout, scanning through data from extremely high-powered telescopes to look for small signs of movement that might indicate the presence of a planet. © Scott S. Sheppard/David Tholen Sheppard and the team responsible for this discovery detected another dwarf planet that was announced earlier this year, nicknamed the Goblin. Both discoveries, and others, are thanks to a massive search of the sky that’s been going on for the past six years. “We’ve been doing the largest, deepest survey for solar system objects,” Sheppard says. One of the goals of this survey is to look for a large planet-sized object (also called Planet 9 or Planet X) that might exist in the outer reaches of the Solar System. Since 2012, the team has covered about 20 per cent of the night sky, and while they’ve found a lot of dwarf planets, they still haven’t found Planet X. Even with objects that the team has located, like Farout, researchers don’t have a whole lot of information. “All that we currently know about 2018 VG18 is its extreme distance from the Sun, its approximate diameter, and its colour,” David Tholen, an astronomer at the University of Hawaii and a co-discoverer of the object said in a statement. They can tell that it’s roughly 500-600 kilometres (310-372 miles) around, large enough to qualify as a dwarf planet. It’s also a distinctive reddish-pink colour, which is common for that area of the solar system. Sheppard says the colour indicates that it is probably an icy object. “When ice is bombarded by radiation over the age of the Solar System it turns kind of reddish in colour,” Sheppard says. And in this area of our cosmic neighbourhood, objects are constantly bombarded with radiation, just as they’ve been for hundreds of millions of years, if not longer. Out there, they are at the edge of the protective bubble formed by plasma streaming off the Sun. When they cross that boundary, called the heliopause, the levels of cosmic radiation go up, and the interaction changes icy objects, giving them that characteristic tinge of colour. “There are hundreds of thousands of worlds of various sizes from the size of islands to the size of continents in this realm of the solar system and almost all of them are going in and out of the heliopause as they travel in their orbit around the Sun,” Michele Bannister, an astrophysicist at Queen’s University Belfast, says. “If it wasn’t pinkish, I would be astounded.” While researchers can detect a blush of pink through the telescope, other details about 2018 VG18 (Farout) remains stubbornly out of focus. Astronomers can tell that it probably takes a thousand years or more to make one full circuit around the sun, but they still aren’t sure what the shape of its orbit is, whether it’s moving away from the Sun, or toward it. They still have no idea how far into the Solar System it might come, and whether or not it is affected by the gravity of the giant planets, like Neptune, Saturn, or Jupiter. All of that information will take at least a year, if not more, to tease out from data gathered by telescopes around the world. “That this object is particularly distant is in many ways not the most interesting thing about it,” Bannister says. Bannister, who was not involved in the survey, points out that the discovery of objects such as this one, and future analyses of its orbit will help astronomers get a better picture of how the Solar System formed and developed. For her, the fact that we managed to see this faint object at such a great distance is more of a bonus than a feature. “This is what comes out of doing patient, careful searching,“ Bannister says. “That we’re seeing it at this distance is purely an accident of cosmic time.” https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/techandscience/dwarf-planet-is-the-most-distant-solar-system-object-we’ve-ever-observed/ar-BBRb8k3?ocid=chromentp1 point
