To be clear, any aspirations offered here in previous posts were myopic, hopelessly optimistic, and pie-in-the-sky. That said, QPR offered us for almost a full 90’ the full monty, not only holding Chelsea at bay as they sought a point at home but seeking out all three. There were several occasions when it did look like the Hoops would find a goal, and they’ll feel hard done-by to come away empty-handed....

Since the arrival of Petr Cech at Arsenal, there have been constant rumour of either Wojciech Szczesny or David Ospina leaving the club. The Gunners have now confirmed on their official website that the Polish goalkeeper will spend the season on loan in Italy with Roma.

The Gunners will be hoping to see their fearsome frontmen lead the charge against the Seagulls, with Alex Iwobi offering further support in the final third. Arsene Wenger is, however, without Mesut Ozil once again. The Germany international has been nursing a knee problem and has been left out of his country’s latest selection. Theo Walcott and Olivier Giroud also miss out on starting berths, despite being among the goals in midweek Europa League action – with the latter recording his 100th effort for the club....

But you know what I did, I gave him a long break because I know that this was needed for him. “They played two Copa Americas in a row and in England you don’t have a winter break....
This much is indisputable: Essenhigh can draw like a bandit and color superbly. Her painting at PS 1, “The Adoration,” is a big, shiny enamel cartoon on canvas, done with all the pop precision of a giant animation cell. (She continually sands away unwanted imagery and repaints to simplify.) The subject is an old-master Madonna morphed with the cool know-how of a horror-movie director. Why would a nice young woman from Pennsylvania want to do that?...
Aubameyang became the fastest Arsenal player to 50 Premier League goals on Wednesday, passing the landmark on his 79th appearance in England’s top flight as the Gunners thrashed relegation-haunted Norwich City 4-0.

NEWSWEEK: Everyone else’s dot-coms are evaporating. Yours is expanding into TV and movies. How did this happen? Rufus Griscom: We’ve always been in love with our content, not the Internet. The Web was just a means to an end. We’ve always had a fondness for other mediums like magazines and books-things that make a nice thud when you drop them. Most of us came from old media. Frankly, we believe that Nerve is a magazine and a brand that would have happened in the absence of the Internet....
Luck experienced a setback in his recovery last week — the Colts called it “soreness” in his shoulder — a couple weeks after he was cleared to return to practice. According to CBS’ Jason La Canfora, the setback means “the earliest anyone could consider Luck as a viable option would be Nov. 26.” “Luck will limit his activity for the next two weeks,” La Canfora reported Sunday morning, “and he and the Colts are hopeful he can resume the program he was on, which called for gradually ramping up his workload over a series of weeks....
While Stallone and Schwarzenegger starred in some testosterone-fueled action movies, they’ve also found themselves in some rather silly roles. For instance, Schwarzenegger infamously starred in 1994’s Junior, a film which derives its humor from Schwarzenegger’s character being an incredibly buff man who also happens to be pregnant. Meanwhile, Stallone infamously starred in 1992’s Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot (also starring the late Estelle Getty), which was critically derided and mocked in pop culture, eventually earning three Razzies, one of which Stallone bagged for Worst Actor....
After defeating Melbourne Victory 2-1 on Australia Day at Etihad Stadium in an arm-wrestle of a clash, Sydney moved 11 points clear at the top of the A-League.
