To avoid Canelo feeling left out, Jooseline’s father found a heartwarming solution — he carries Canelo in his arms so that the pooch can be involved during playtime. “My dad lets him enjoy the time as much as…

Even with Anthony Davis sidelined, the Los Angeles Lakers managed to string together an impressive five-game winning streak before seeing it snapped by the Western Conference-leading Denver Nuggets on Monday night. A large part of the team’s recent success is Thomas Bryant, who has filled in admirably for Davis. Bryant has been a double-double machine since taking over the starting center spot, and his offensive production has helped power the Lakers to some impressive wins over the past couple of weeks. After splitting their recent two-game road trip, Bryant sounded excited to be back home where he hopes he and the team…

Arsenal may eventually make their first offer for Youri Tielemans to Leicester, and Newcastle may inspire them to do so. For the past year, Youri Tielemans has been linked with a move to the Emirates as Arteta’s dream midfielder. Last summer, Arsenal could have signed the Belgian international for between £25 and £30 million, but they chose not to bid. Many hoped that this winter, Arsenal could buy him for a bargain price, as he is in the final six months of his contract at King Power, but no such hints of this move happening have been dropped. The only…
Guardiola “FRIGHTENED” of facing Arsenal! After learning that Man City will have to face Arsenal in the FA Cup, a visibly concerned Pep Guardiola was quoted thusly: Arsenal frighten me…If you’re not at your best, Arsenal overrun you. It should be a fantastic game because we are two very similar sides. They are a very bold, daring team, a side that forces you to defend very well.

Joao Felix is heading to Chelsea with Man United seemingly deciding not to make an approach for the Atletico Madrid forward. (Image: Jose Breton/Pics Action/NurPhoto via Getty Images) First Cody Gakpo and now Joao Felix. A cynic or pessimist could certainly make an argument for Manchester United failing in the January transfer window. United need a striker. Obviously. Erik ten Hag was already perilously low on firepower before Cristiano Ronaldo forced through his desired departure and now he has been left with only Marcus Rashford – better on the flanks – and the perenially-injured Anthony Martial to choose from. The lack…

An artist’s impression of a comet striking Europa. (NASA/JPL-Caltech) Comets, according to current theory, are a bit like cosmic storks that delivered the ingredients from which life could be made to a baby Earth billions of years ago. Now, new research by scientists from the University of Texas, the California Institute of Technology, and Williams College has found that comets might play a similar role in delivering other life-giving compounds to other nearby worlds; in this case forcing reactive chemicals called oxidants through the icy crust and into the oceans of Jupiter’s moon Europa. Even if the comet doesn’t entirely punch through the…

The 120-million-year-old Chinese fossil helps inform how modern birds evolved. We know birds are descendants of dinosaurs like T. rex, but when and how did the transformation from dinosaur to modern bird happen? This transition is one of the most dramatic in terms of morphology, functionality and ecology, but palaeontologists are still struggling to get to grips with exactly how modern birds came about. A new fossil discovery by a team at the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology (IVPP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, of a bird ancestor dinosaur in China, might place another piece to this feathery puzzle. Named Cratonavis…

A late brace from Marcus Rashford allowed Manchester United to ease into the Carabao Cup semifinals with a 3-0 win over Charlton Athletic in Tuesday’s quarterfinal at Old Trafford. Antony’s fine curling strike in the 21st minute gave United a deserved lead before their League One opponents’ resistance was ended by two goals in the dying minutes from in-form substitute Rashford to seal victory for Erik ten Hag’s much-changed side. Rashford’s two clinical finishes took his season’s tally to 15 goals in all competitions and meant he has now scored in eight successive home games from Man United. “I have told you many times, when he…
One black hole is mind-boggling enough – a region in space where gravity is so immense that nothing, even light, can escape from it. Now astronomers have discovered something even more remarkable, as two black holes have been spotted ‘dining’ side-by-side. The pair are growing simultaneously just 750 light years apart – the closest scientists have ever observed – and will eventually combine into a gargantuan black hole. They were discovered by researchers using the ALMA telescope, the most powerful telescope for observing molecular gas and dust, which is located in the Atacama desert. One black hole is mind-boggling enough…
