Laz Alonso Pitches ‘The Boys’ Spinoff, MM Influence’s on Spinoff

[This story contains spoilers from the fifth and final season finale of The Boys.] Laz Alonso’s character Mother’s Milk was one of the few characters that got out of The Boys unscathed (if unscathed meant not dying by the series finale). After saying goodbye to the rest of his fellow supe fighters after Billy Butcher’s funeral, Mother’s Milk returns home to life with his wife and daughter. But he doesn’t leave the group alone, as it’s revealed that Ryan, the son to supervillain Homelander and Billy Butcher’s late wife Becca, has gone with him. Alonso tells The Hollywood Reporter the decision for Mother’s Milk to take Ryan under his wing “was a symbol of breaking generational curses.”  “If we understand who Ryan is to MM, he’s very close to MM’s story, because he’s the grandson of Soldier Boy, the man that killed MM’s grandfather and sent him down this completely different life of spiraling out of control,” he says. “When [series creator Eric] Kripke explained to me the whole arc of the character, it just …

Chelsea agree deal with Alonso to take over as head coach, say reports

LONDON, May 16 : Chelsea have agreed a four-year deal with former Real Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso to become the Premier League club’s head coach, Sky Sports reported on Saturday. Chelsea, who lost 1-0 in the FA Cup final to Manchester City earlier on Saturday, have been seeking a new head coach since Liam Rosenior was sacked in April after three months in charge. Spaniard Alonso won a league and cup double with Leverkusen in his first season as a coach in 2023-24 but was sacked by Real Madrid after less than eight months in January. The 44-year-old would be the fifth permanent appointment of Chelsea’s BlueCo ownership after Graham Potter, Mauricio Pochettino, Enzo Maresca and Rosenior. Chelsea have slipped to ninth place in the Premier League and are struggling to qualify for European competition. (Writing by Ken Ferris. Editing by Mark Potter) Source link

Questioning Arne Slot about Xabi Alonso is disrespectful

Arne Slot has all but confirmed that Mohamed Salah will go straight back into Liverpool’s starting line-up for tonight’s crucial Champions League tie against Marseille. The head coach said his team selection would reflect whether there is a problem between him and the Egypt forward who has just returned from his country’s involvement in the Africa Cup of Nations. “The first time he’s able to be in the squad again, he is because he trained with us today and is in the squad for tomorrow. Let’s see for the lineup tomorrow if you still think there’s an issue,” Slot said, when asked whether Salah’s time away has given him time to reflect on the apparently strained relationship between the pair. In early December, Salah declared that he felt he had been “thrown under the bus” after being dropped to the bench for three successive games, including the draw away to Leeds United after which he spoke out. At the time Slot responded by saying he was surprised by Salah’s angry comments and left the 33-year-old …
