Tonali and Robertson score penalties in shoot-out victory over Sydney FC

Published by Sam Flores

Spurs fans took their first look at summer signing Mateus Fernandes in a 2-0 victory over Auckland, and their pre-season tour continues today against Sydney FC. Fernandes, an £85m purchase from West Ham United, also scored a stunning volley in a behind-closed-doors game against MK Dons. Sandro Tonali is part of the travelling squad for these friendlies, as is new centre-back Jean Paul van Hecke. Marcos Senesi, Cristian Romero and Pedro Porro have been given extra time off after their respective nations reached the World Cup final, won by Porro and Spain. Van Hecke and Senesi ranked very highly among defenders for progressive passing, which offers an insight into the qualities Roberto De Zerbi is prioritising this summer. The Italian likes his teams to bait opponents into pressing them high up the pitch, before moving the ball through central areas using third-man combinations and wall passes. The addition of two ball-playing centre-backs and two new central midfielders should mean Spurs can play like a recognisable De Zerbi team. While Dane Scarlett and Richarlison scored against …

Coronation Street’s Sydney Martin responds to criticism about stroke storyline

Coronation Street’s Sydney Martin responds to criticism about stroke storyline

Published by Sam Flores

Coronation Street actor Sydney Martin is currently at the centre of one of the soap’s biggest stories: her character Betsy Swain suffered a stroke due to being strangled during sex by boyfriend Dylan Wilson. While Betsy says it was not rough and consensual, the brief loss of breath led to complications that caused the stroke, and in the eyes of law, what Dylan did is still considered a crime. But while the soap has been praised for shining a light on the dangers of the sexual practice, one element has received criticism, something Sydney responded to. Related: Best streaming services UK 2026 – including Disney+, Netflix, iPlayer and Apple TV On TikTok, a manual handling trainer called Jessie pointed out a scene where Betsy was moved from her bed to her chair, and explained that the way it was done in the show was not how health care staff are allowed to manoeuvre patients in the UK anymore. “It’s called the drag lift, and it was removed from care years ago because it can cause …

Drones spot sharks 73 times in two days off Sydney beaches

Published by Sam Flores

“FAIRWEATHER SURFERS” School groups had cancelled surf lessons after a child was killed by a shark in Sydney Harbour in January, and a woman was mauled at popular Coogee Beach last month. “It has been really hard,” he said. “We will lose a percentage of fairweather surfers because they will feel paranoia more than the enjoyment they get from the ocean.” Northern Beaches Mayor Sue Heins told AFP millions of visitors are attracted to Sydney’s coast each year, and the drones support safety. “Naturally, increased surveillance will mean increased sightings,” she said. A surfer was killed by a shark on a northern Sydney beach in September. New South Wales Premier Chris Minns said on Sunday that swimmers and surfers “will have to get used to” leaving the water as the world’s biggest drone surveillance program ramps up. “It is almost certain that sharks have always been present,” said shark expert Daryl McPhee, an associate professor of environmental science at Bond University, who expects the high number of beach closures to continue for several weeks.

Sydney Sweeney Talks ‘Euphoria’ Ending, the OnlyFans Controversy, and Navigating Fame

Published by Sam Flores

Is there anything about this experience that you’ll carry on to your next roles? I will probably carry into other things how free it is to play someone like Cassie. When we would film, we would do some takes and then Sam would be like, “Okay, let’s do a crazy take.” And I found this crazy version of Cassie that was so freeing as an actor, where there were no rules, no idea what was gonna come out, and it just changed the entire performance, and I want to be able to carry that freedom into other performances and other characters that I play. You recently announced your production company, Honey Trap, and it sounded like you might want to direct. Do you plan to do that soon? I’m so interested in learning as much as I possibly can. I have loved producing, I’ve loved putting projects together, and I’ve loved learning about all different areas in this industry, behind and in front of the camera. So I think directing is something that I could …
