The Belgium international moved to the Stadium of Light in August to link up with former United boss David Moyes, under whom he enjoyed a superb breakthrough campaign in 2013-14. Januzaj has struggled to hit the heights of those performances since then and has yet to score in 19 Premier League appearances this season, having spent a similarly frustrating loan spell at Borussia Dortmund last term. The 22-year-old insists he will be stronger for the experience of playing his part in a relegation battle, but is unclear where he will be playing next term....

The Frenchman has secured two titles in La Liga and three Champions League crowns across two spells as Blancos boss, and remains in the hunt for more glory down both of those avenues this season. Questions have, however, been asked of whether he will remain in his current post through to the end of his current contract in 2022, with calls for change at various intervals being added to a pot that also includes links to Serie A giants Juventus....

The seven-time Wimbledon champion would likely have fought for the position had he not been barred from participating in the Australian Open and US open. Even though he won the Wimbledon, no ranking points were awarded for it this year. Speaking to the press after beating Andrey Rublev at the ATP Finals on Wednesday, Djokovic said that Carlos Alcaraz achieved the year-end No. 1 ranking fair and square: He continued to heap praise on the teenager, and described Alcaraz as a good brand ambassador for tennis:...

I never set out to drink so much alcohol, it just became my way of life. It was so easy. Because I was so quiet in my early 20s, I’d tell myself, wrongly, that when I drank I was more personable and loud. That became my “reason” to drink. I would go to a lunch meeting and have a beer, then I’d have an afternoon meeting and have another beer or two....

Irving stood up for his beliefs last season, which resulted him playing only 29 games for the Nets. However, the decision to remain unvaccinated cost Irving much more than just missing games. During the Brooklyn Nets’ media day, Irving shared how the decision also caused him to miss out on a contract extension. He said: With regards to his contract talks with the Nets, Irving mentioned that he understood why the Nets organization wanted him to be vaccinated....

While naming his topmost moments in Indian cricket, the former all-rounder recalled India’s famous Gabba win last month. India have historically carried the burden of being poor travellers. They had won just 13 of their 155 away Tests in the 20th century, but things gradually began changing with the turn of the century. India’s first-ever series win in Australia came in 2018-19 season, and two years later, India repeated the feat with a depleted side....

Their dominance in competitive Valorant came to an end at the hands of Team Envy in a very one-sided playoffs series. Sentinels fans were not at all happy with the exit, as multiple players were subjected to online harassment and death threats. Sentinels Valorant star, Michael “Dapr” Gulino, perhaps got the worst of it. During one of his return streams from Berlin, Dapr opened up about the amount of toxicity he had to face from the community after losing to Team Envy....

When I was two years old, an incident led to 70 percent of my body being burned. It happened at my childhood home in Cali, Colombia, while my mom was at work, and my nanny was distracted. I opened the oven in the kitchen and the boiling water on the top rack fell on top of me, starting at my head and going down my legs. I don’t remember anything about the incident—which is probably for the best....

In a post shared Wednesday on Mumsnet, the woman, who goes by the username UglyNameChange, said her “beautiful” friend got into a relationship a short time ago. The friend then told the poster that she should be in one too because she knows how much she wants it. Her friend suggested that she should just go to a bar and get “chatted up with men.” But the poster was not impressed with the advice....

In a viral Reddit post published on r/tifu (short for “Today I F****d Up), Redditor u/LackedSaucer938 said he was in the process of reconnecting with an old friend, when her actions halted their friendship in its tracks. Titled, “TIFU by agreeing to get together with an old friend,” the viral post has received 29.5K votes and nearly 1,400 comments. “Two days ago, I was hit up by a girl who was visiting my local area,” the Redditor wrote....

Their exchange began as Paul accused Fauci, the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), of funding gain of function (GoF) research. In October 2014, the U.S. government banned federal agencies from funding such research. Fauci has denied that NIAID ever funded GoF research. However, he has also said he can’t be absolutely certain labs haven’t lied about using NIAID funds for such research. “Your persistent denials, though, are not simply a stain on your reputation, but are clear and present danger to the country and to the world,” Paul told Fauci....

Gill smashed 208 runs off 149 deliveries as the Men in Blue set a massive 350-run target for the Black Caps in Hyderabad on Wednesday, January 18. Their bowlers then bowled out the visitors for 337 to eke out a narrow 12-run win. During a discussion on the Star Sports show ‘Match Point’, Bangar was asked whether he thinks Shubman Gill has sealed the opener debate with his double ton, to which he responded:...

We were together for 22 years in total and married in 1998 after he eventually divorced. We then had a son in 1999. After few years or our life together we went through some very stressful times financially and it was only later that I realized there were so many secrets I didn’t know about. The situation became painful and I started realizing there was a complete disconnect between us....

Mourinho’s men have made a flying start to the season, winning four of their opening five Premier League games and scoring 16 goals. Crystal Palace 14/1 to beat Man Utd Romelu Lukaku has scored five times, Anthony Martial has netted three despite making just one start and Marcus Rashford (two goals, one assist) and Henrikh Mkhitaryan (one goal, five assists) have also impressed. Martial has started just three times in all competitions this season, but Mourinho said that was down to the form of all of his attackers....

In pre-COVID times we would tend to escape the Saskatchewan winters to a silver mining property my company owns in Jalisco, Mexico. That is where myself and two other prospectors, Felipe Robles and Gabino Jaimes, found Sydney; she was from a litter of puppies that had been poisoned, and was the last surviving pup. She was only around 10 weeks old when we found her, so we took care of her, fed her up and took her to the town of Puerto Vallarta to a vet clinic....

Lil Uzi posted a video on social media and some pictures of himself with the diamond piercing as things went wrong. Blood could be seen in some photos dripping from the piercing and down his forehead. He tweeted: Trigger warning: Tweets contain graphic, distressing material. Not long after, Lil Uzi posted a video of himself without saying a word. It was just a close up of him as he was in a car, driving along....

Playing in the picturesque setting of Kapalua, Spieth started his elevated event outing on a low. The golfer was angry with himself after leaving a short approach on the 432-yard par 4 shy at the Sentry Tournament of Champions during Thursday’s opening round. However, he soon turned it around by hitting his first putt from just inside 54 feet away and had less than three feet to save his four....

The Belgian striker had just seven touches in the entire match, one of which was from the kick-off. This is the lowest of any player since the stats started being collated in the 2003-04 season. This is extremely disappointing for the striker, who was signed by Chelsea for a club-record £97.5 million from Inter Milan last summer. Former Chelsea forward Chris Sutton knows all about the situation. He was signed by the Blues in 1999 from Blackburn Rovers for a then-record fee of £10 million....

From gamers to woodcarvers, there is no dearth in terms of variety, as viewers are often spoilt for choice when it comes to tuning in to a stream. However, the persona which we see on-screen often differs from the person in reality. With a notion to promote healthy discussions about mental health, Harvard-trained psychiatrist Dr. K started a Twitch channel called HealthyGamerGG, where he interacts with various streamers on the platform....

After the tear, a doctor performed prophylactic laser treatment on my left eye to help stabilize it’s retina in place, which I believe saved it from also tearing. Every doctor I’ve seen since then has said his work was top notch and fantastic. I had just started living by myself in Hoboken, New Jersey. I was working long hours at my tech job. I lost my depth perception and remember getting upset when I couldn’t see the new movie Avatar in 3D....
