Mourinho: I was sacked by Chelsea Jose Mourinho makes his return to Stamford Bridge on the back of a 4-1 win over Fenerbahce in the Europa League on Thursday, potentially resulting in some of his players suffering fatigue. Chelsea, which finished 10th in the Premier League last season, failed to qualify for Europe and it was suggested to Conte that would be an advantage, but the Italian begged to differ....
Revealed: How Chelsea have finally moved into a post-Terry era The Blues were dominated by Spurs in the first period of their 2-1 win at Stamford Bridge last week, with Christian Eriksen opening the scoring early in the half after his side’s pressing game unsettled the league leaders, though Pedro netted an unlikely equaliser with a wonderful curling effort. Conte revealed his admiration for the way Tottenham played and believes that they are capable of winning the title, despite his club’s fans regarding their opponents as their most hated rivals....
Conte complained before the Premier League contest that his players did not have sufficient recovery time following the midweek trip to face Qarabag in the Champions League and might have feared the worst when Liverpool’s ex-Chelsea winger Mohamed Salah opened the scoring in the 65th minute with his 15th goal of the season. Chelsea 6/1 to beat Atletico 1-0 But Willian, who scored twice in a 4-0 stroll against the Azerbaijani champions, levelled matters with five minutes to play when his attempted cross looped over Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet and in....
The Spain international striker revealed earlier in the summer that Conte had sent him a text message to tell him that he would be surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge this summer. Chelsea 13/5 to win at Spurs Costa has since spent much of his time in Brazil amid interest from Atletico Madrid, with the player keen to return to his former club in the Spanish capital. But the 28-year-old has come out in recent days to complain at Chelsea’s insistence that Atleti pay in the region of £40 million for his services and believes the Premier League champions should not be able to dictate his future after telling him he could leave....
The Italian is just one win away from steering the Blues to the Premier League title in his first season at Stamford Bridge and Chelsea will get the job done if they beat West Brom at The Hawthorns on Friday. However, earlier this season former Juventus boss Conte was linked with a return to Italy to coach Inter and, with the Nerazzurri having dismissed Stefano Pioli this week, those rumours have quickly resurfaced....
Out of form and conceding goals: How Chelsea will line up versus Hull The 47-year-old took over in Turin a summer after they finished a disappointing seventh but managed to lead them to the Serie A title unbeaten in his first season. And, despite Chelsea’s recent run of three Premier League games winless, Conte believes that his Chelsea squad are more gifted than his first Bianconeri cohort. However, he added that there is still plenty of work needed from a mental standpoint as he works to find solutions to their early blip this season....
Alonso teased before free-kick Chelsea hold a seven-point lead ahead of their trip to Old Trafford, but tempers ran high between Conte and opposite number Jose Mourinho when the Londoners beat 10-man United in the FA Cup at Stamford Bridge in March. After chants against him during that game, former Chelsea boss Mourinho pointedly noted that “Judas is number one”, referring to his three Premier League titles at the club, and Conte wants his players to remain focused on the task in hand with seven matches remaining....

In 1991, Texas A&M beat Arkansas 13-3 in the Razorbacks’ final game in the Southwest Conference. Arkansas returned the favor from 2009-11, the last one a 42-38 win in which Razorbacks’ fans held up signs saying, “Welcome to the SEC. The Aggies got the message.

Most attendees are not wearing masks and many appear not to have been adhering to social distancing guidelines....
The unconventional political path Morrissey has taken includes a teen sex scandal, jail time, disbarment and alleged inappropriate conduct with a client. Despite this, he still received over 60 percent of the votes, reports WSET. In 2013, when Morrissey was 56 years old and a member of the Virginia House of Delegates, he hired 17-year-old Myrna Pride to work as an intern in his law office. They began a sexual relationship that they both repeatedly denied, despite prosecutors possessing many of their alleged texts and sexting evidence....
Cookie Monster was the celebrity singer Thursday for the Cubs’ traditional “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” during the seventh-inning stretch. (“Me so excited!” he said ahead of the performance.) Suffice it to say, Cookie crushed it. He started with, “Hello, Cubs fans! Today, C is for Cubbies!” — a twist on his Sesame Street signature “C is for cookies!” — before leading the Wrigley Field faithful in singing the song....
Hollywood, which glamorized cigarettes on the lips of everyone from Bette Davis to James Dean, has gone back to butts after cutting down for several years. According to the American Lung Association, at least one of the leads in every Oscar-nominated film last year lit up on screen. ““Smoking is the ultimate sex appeal,’’ says Natasha, 15, of Santa Monica, Calif., who cites Leonardo DiCaprio’s cigarette-wielding performance in last year’s ““Romeo + Juliet’’ as irrefutable proof....
“Delirious” is a chunky paperback ode to the raucous, sexy collage of congestion that’s the island of Manhattan. Koolhaas’s celebration of New York’s geewhiz gigantism and ego-driven skyscrapers was ahead of its time: in the ‘7Os people still thought that modern rationalism could bring order to the essential messiness of cities. Now “Delirious” pushes all the right buttons. The text has a quirky immediacy; it’s full of fun facts (the 350-foot-tall, wooden Latting Observatory, built in 1853, was perhaps the world’s first skyscraper) and sweeping truisms “The Metropolis is an addictive machine, from which there is no escape, unless it offers that, too....
According to The Associated Press, prosecutors are seeking a 10-year sentence for Dustin Boone for his role in the beating and permanent injury of Luther Hall, a St. Louis Police Detective who was undercover monitoring protests at the time.

Lenise Martin III, 36, was detained by deputies from the Assumption Parish Sheriff’s Office after the stunt, which was seemingly intended for social media. It appeared to copy the actions of a Texas teenager who was recently in trouble with police after licking the same brand of ice cream and putting it back on a shelf. Martin claimed to have bought the ice cream and as the footage emerged he returned to show the store manager his receipt....
