The Manchester United boss has been defending suggestions he is a short-term manager, insisting he always prepares clubs for success. Mourinho, 54, has never spent longer than three years in one spell at any club and is on a contract of that duration at Old Trafford. Mou’s men 17/2 to win 3-0 at Stoke Despite success with the likes of Porto, Chelsea, Inter and Real Madrid, some detractors have pointed to an apparent lack of staying power – denying him the kind of legacy created by United legend Sir Alex Ferguson....

Lloris has been out since suffering a gruesome dislocated elbow in Spurs’ defeat to Brighton and Hove Albion in October. The France keeper has not played for Mourinho, who replaced Mauricio Pochettino in November, but appears to be edging closer to his first appearance under the Portuguese’s stewardship. Tottenham posted on Twitter on Friday that Lloris had returned to training with the first team, and Mourinho is hopeful of his absence coming to an end next month....

Goals from Chris Smalling and substitute Romelu Lukaku saw second-placed United see off Bournemouth on Wednesday following last week’s shock defeat to relegation-bound West Brom at Old Trafford. Saturday’s 1-0 loss against lowly WBA handed neighbours Manchester City the title, having halted their trophy celebrations in the derby a week earlier. Still disappointed with the defeat to West Brom, manager Mourinho lamented United’s record against sides further down the table following losses to Newcastle United and Huddersfield Town, and draws against Stoke City and Southampton....

The loss was Wenger’s first victory over the Portuguese in the Premier League at the 13th time of asking, with Granit Xhaka and Danny Welbeck helping to secure a 2-0 win. Mourinho’s TV interview dig at Wenger Mourinho aimed a subtle dig at Wenger in his post-match television interview, insisting that Gunners fans could finally go home with a smile on their face after so many years of pain when facing him....

The two managers have enjoyed a spiky relationship since the Portuguese arrived as manager of Chelsea in 2004 and deposed Arsenal’s “Invincibles” as champions. Famously, Mourinho called Wenger a “voyeur” and a “specialist in failure” while, in the early days of their feud, in 2005, Wenger responded by calling Mourinho “stupid” and “disconnected with reality”. As recently as October 2014, the two managers were involved in an ugly touchline row that saw them almost come to physical blows in a game between Arsenal and Chelsea – an example of the sort of behaviour Mourinho now says he regrets....

His warning resonated with subsequent Congress leaders such as Mohandas K. Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru. These founders of independent India held that lasting solutions to economic and social problems could only come if colonial territories achieved self-rule. Freedom, they reasoned, would foster more mass-oriented policies. That belief, which eventually galvanized leaders in other parts of Asia, Africa and South America, led to the emergence of some130 independent countries from the 1940s through the ’60s....

The Hammers have endured a miserable start to the Premier League campaign, winning just two of their first 11 matches after they were beaten 4-1 by Liverpool on Saturday. West Ham 23/10 to beat Watford Their form has been made even more underwhelming by the fact that Bilic received significant backing in the transfer window, with Javier Hernandez, Marko Arnautovic and Joe Hart among the new arrivals. Goal understands the club is ready to move on and appear set to offer Moyes a six-month contract to right the ship....

This time Evil’s gunning for Washington, D.C., with a giant laser cannon stationed on the moon. But in the meantime, he’s got something else up the sleeve of his beloved Nehru jacket....

If you dwell into his career and captaincy tenure, you would be aware that Dhoni has done or had it done whatever he wanted. Since the start of his captaincy, Dhoni backed his decisions regardless of the consequences. Dhoni has led on his conditions. He asked to drop Rahul Dravid and Sourav Ganguly in the CB Tri-Series in 2008. Four years down the line, once again in the CB Tri-Series, he adopted the rotation policy by playing only two out of Virender Sehwag, Tendulkar, and Gautam Gambhir....

All projects in the MCU revolve around a hero, or multiple heroes, and their battle against a villain. Ms. Marvel’s villain was its weakest aspect, with the Clan Destine plot having little significance in the grand scheme of things. But the series had a lot more to offer, most importantly introducing Kamala into the MCU. This gave the character the opportunity to grow into her suit rather than being immediately placed in a large-scale Avengers project, similar to Tom Holland’s Spider-Man....

Reid discussed the growing movement in the U.S. to reframe how American history is taught and said that “some parents opposed to CRT aren’t too pleased,” before playing a video clip of an emotional mother expressing her opposition. “Just because I do not want critical race theory taught to my children in school does not mean I am a racist damnit,” the unnamed mother said tearfully in front of a room with others and was met with clapping....

Ali died Friday night at age 74, but before he passed he left a mark with not only fans and the media, but his opponents. And for the latter, not just physical ones. For opponents, the “sting like a bee” part of his persona wasn’t limited just to the jabs and uppercuts that helped make him a legend. That also described how his taunts left them feeling decades later. MORE: The 10 greatest fights of Ali’s career...
