‘An absolute legend’ – Milner lauded after goals at 16 and 39

James Milner, 16, probably would not have anticipated scoring another Premier League goal against Sunderland 23 years later when he scored his first goal for Leeds against Sunderland in 2002.

He became the second-oldest goalscorer in the Premier League by turning in from the penalty spot in Brighton’s 2-1 victory over his former club Manchester City at the age of 39 years and 239 days, making him the second-youngest player at the age of 16 years and 356 days.

When asked about the spot-kick that ended Brighton’s comeback success and ended Erling Haaland’s opener, Milner responded, “it’s not the easiest thing, but my experience helped.”

That highlights a distinguishing feature of his personality and career. Few players can match his level of involvement in the top flight with 640 Premier League appearances.

His goal put an end to a six-year drought that started when he scored for Liverpool at Leicester City in 2019. However, the gap, which is only the 50th longest in the Premier League, is now 2075 days.

Joe Hart, Milner’s former City and England teammate, described the versatile player as “still looks fit and fresh” after turning 40 in January.

Milner has scored in the Premier League against goalkeepers born in the 1960s, 1970s, 1990s, and 2000s because of how long his career has lasted.

Former Chelsea stopper Mark Schwarzer referred to him as “an absolute legend of the game.”

I anticipated that the upcoming season might be my last.

Milner claimed he thought he might not have been able to continue playing after only four appearances last season due to injury.

However, he was “delighted” to have come off the bench to help the club win their first league game after being given a one-year contract extension by Brighton.

Milner, who won three Premier League titles with Manchester City and Liverpool, admitted that “I thought last season might be my last because of injury.”

“I’m happy for the boys that we got it (the goal),” he said. We didn’t believe we received what we deserved in the first two games. A true team effort was made for this victory.

Hart claimed that Milner, 39, was still “doing himself great credit” by maintaining his top position.

On BBC Radio 5 Live, the former keeper remarked, “James Milner is awesome. What a man.” “I was certain Milner would take the ball when the player was defending it.” He merits a lot of praise for himself.

He is approaching 40 and still appears to be in good shape and good form.

Milner was a “very important personality and player” for the Seagulls, according to Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler.

He told BBC Match of the Day, “He came on, brought energy, and organized it, so I’m happy for him.”

The “magic of his number”- a Jota tribute–goal

In a career spanning more than 20 years, Milner has represented Leeds, Swindon, Newcastle, Aston Villa, Manchester City, Liverpool, and Brighton.

He said Diogo Jota, a former Liverpool teammate, meant a lot to him and that it is honor “to wear the same number as the Portuguese, who died with his brother Andre Silva in a car crash back in July.

I didn’t think I’d score too many goals this season, but Milner said it was probably because of his shirt’s number, which he copied from Jota’s celebrations.

He continued, “What happened to him was horrific],” he said in a BBC Match of the Day interview. He was a fantastic teammate and a great guy. I had both feelings for him.

Rylan Clark has revealed he’s already planned his future out with his fairground worker boyfriend. The This Morning presenter has remained tight lipped on his love life following his divorce from Dan Neal four years ago.

While he fought off countless speculation into his close bond with Rob Rinder being more than friends, Rylan, 36, revealed last week that he is now dating someone. He decided not to reveal who the lucky man is as he spilled on his BBC Radio 2 show.

However, it has been reported that the presenter is currently reportedly romanticized by a fairground worker. According to reports, the man is named Kennedy and works at Billy Bates &amp, Sons in Leicestershire.

This summer, Rylan and Kennedy are said to have “inseparable” and already have families gotten together. The TV and radio host shared his happy news during a conversation on Louis Theroux’s podcast, How to Be in Love.

Rylan teased the new romance, saying, “I’m very happy this time. I recently started a relationship, which is fantastic. And it feels very different from anything I’ve ever had, which is a good sign for me.

Since splitting from Dan, Rylan has confirmed that Kennedy is the first person he has introduced to his family. When he inquired whether they had considered starting a family of their own, documentary director Louis questioned Rylan about the romance.

Have you been considering that? Louis posed a question. “Yes, I want kids,” Ryan retorted openly. He desires children. Even Louise gave advice to Rylan on how to have more information figured out when raising kids.

“They have enjoyed spending a lot of time together, and this new man has definitely put a smile back on Rylan’s face. A source told The Sun on Sunday that Ryan’s family and friends have all met him and that they have been performing at numerous shows together this summer, including Oasis.

After playing a podcast clip, Rylan also discussed his romance on his BBC Radio 2 show. His co-star Lottie inquired if there was “something else” mentioned in the conversation.

The TV host was made to admit to seeing someone after hearing about it. “I might have said that I’m… it’s weird to say that on the radio,” said Ryan!

Lottie later described Rylan as “lovely” after revealing that she and the team had already met him. Then Ryan addressed rumors that Rob Rinder and he were having a secret romance.

He continued, “Like, so many people keep asking, everyone keeps asking me because there are all these fake news stories about me and Rob Rinder, and we’ve married and all of this.” My friend is Rob.

He continued, “I adore him, and Rob and Rylan are about to leave India, and I just thought, “Let’s just set the record straight.”

Brooklyn Beckham slammed for ‘dangerous’ motorbike stunt without safety gear

For dragging his Harley Davidson one-handed down LA’s residential streets, Brooklyn Beckham has received criticism. The influencer appears to have inherited his father’s motorsports passion.

Brooklyn Beckham’s motorbike riding through an LA residential neighborhood has drawn criticism.

Brooklyn Beckham has sparked concern after sharing a series of clips on Instagram that showed him cruising through the streets of Los Angeles on his Harley Davidson motorcycle.

The passion for bikes appears to run in the family, with dad David Beckham also known for his love of motorcycling. However, unlike his famously safety-conscious father, Brooklyn raised eyebrows by riding with his helmet visor up, while attempting to blow a kiss to wife Nicola Peltz with one hand off the handlebars.

In another clip, he appeared to be filming himself while quickly moving through a residential neighborhood, which many of his followers criticized as careless.

He took a hand off the vehicle to kiss his wife, but viewers thought it was foolish.

Fans quickly expressed outrage online about the stunt, with some calling it “dangerous” and “reckless”

One follower reacted with caution, “He shouldn’t be looking ahead and not watching her while blowing a kiss.” I’m sure his parents would be concerned that he’s not taking life seriously after watching this video because he’s acting very childish in the way he’s not acting responsibly.

He wanted to keep his eye on the road rather than the camera, added one more. How about you focus on the bloody road rather than blowing kisses at your wife, a third person said bluntly. Grow up, really. You’ve seriously let me down.

Some users expressed disapproval of his attire, saying, “If he had an ounce of common sense, he would wear protective clothing, I need to say more.”

Not everyone, however, was against his two-wheeled stunt. Some supporters defended him, arguing that his riding speed appeared to be fairly low.

Nicola and Brooklyn Peltz-Beckham reportedly have a feud with the rest of the Beckham family.

“All of you commenting to keep his eyes on the road,” argued one supporter. He is scurrying through a quiet street. It appears pretty safe to look over his shoulder while driving alongside him.

Another echoed the sentiment, writing: “Why is everyone so critical in this world… Just let people live. Concentrate on your lives and make them better instead of wasting your time on others.”

The most recent controversy comes amid speculation about Brooklyn’s feud with his well-known family.

His parents, David and Victoria Beckham, recently celebrated the former footballer’s 50th birthday with a luxury getaway along Italy’s Amalfi coast.

In an LA residential neighborhood, Brooklyn posted videos of him riding a motorcycle through a neighborhood.

The pair were joined by their three youngest children, and appeared more united than ever despite the rumours that they have become estranged from their eldest son.

A source close to the couple told The Mirror : “Victoria and David are very good at pulling together when things around them are rubbish. She has learned how to navigate a lot of difficult situations since they’ve been married, and she knows exactly what support David needs.”

Brooklyn and Nicola, both 30, are living together in Los Angeles in the interim. The couple, who wed for the first time in 2022 at the estate of the Peltz family in Florida, renewed their engagement earlier this year at a different Peltz property in New York.

Superchargers women cruise to first Hundred title

Lord’s, Lord’s, and The Hundred women’s competition final.

Southern grit 115-6 (100 balls): Kemp 26 (16), Cross 2-23, Sutherland 2-23

Northern Superchargers 119-3 (88 balls): Carey 35* (25), Sutherland 28* (25)

Seven wickets separated the Superchargers.

In the women’s final, Northern Superchargers triumphed over Southern grit to win The Hundred for the first time, coming away with a comfortable seven-wicket score.

With 12 balls left, Superchargers held their nerve after restricting the Brave’s previously unbeaten run to 115-6.

It was the bowlers’ turn at Lord’s, despite the batters, and particularly Davina Perrin, who set a new record at Saturday’s Eliminator.

The dangerous Maia Bouchier and Laura Wolvaardt were eliminated by Kate Cross after two wickets in two balls late in the powerplay, with the latter having a stunning jagged back to hit leg stump.

Australia all-rounder Annabel Sutherland and Freya Kemp both took two wickets, and both of them finished with figures of 2-23, while Freya Kemp led Brave with a 26 from 17 balls.

Superchargers led the way in the end, but Perrin did not live up to her heroics from The Oval, showing glimpses of her class before falling for 17.

With three fours and a six in her first four balls, Phoebe Litchfield firmly swung the game in her favor, and despite being dismissed for 26 from 13 balls, the momentum persisted on the batting side.

Knowing that the game’s circumstances meant the risks were minimized, especially given Nicola Carey’s tendency to display more aggression at the other end, Sutherland anchored the innings.

Brave’s winning streak is ended by Supercharger bowlers.

Despite Superchargers’ stunning victory on Saturday, Brave won the matchup and qualified as the favorites after winning all eight of their group games to reach the final.

Although the top-order that includes Bouchier, Wolvaardt, and Danni Wyatt-Hodge is certainly eye-catching, Brave’s bowling has made them such a force.

However, both at Lord’s were left with too much to do and outshined by their Superchargers counterparts.

The seamers’ plan was straightforward but effective: target the stumps with a small amount of movement off the pitch.

The Northern Superchargers’ highest proportion of balls to have hit the stumps was 45 percent, which is their highest proportion in any tournament game.

The plan was successful when two of Brave’s biggest-name top three players each received a bowl, and they never threatened to leave.

Because Superchargers had the best batting lineup in the tournament, even Brave’s fine bowling attack would not stop them once they had taken control of the game.

Just unbelievable’- response was made

Kate Cross, a bowler for the Northern Superchargers, said on BBC Two, “It feels very real; I’ve already lost my voice!”

We finished the match with two of the country’s coolest Aussies.

Nicola Carey, the batter for Northern Superchargers, said, “I feel a little embarrassed because I thought our girls bowled really well.”

“This is unbelievable,” he declared. Everyone deserves this, despite the fact that this squad has been amazing for the entire time I’ve been here.

Georgia Adams, the head coach of the Southern grits, said, “Any loss in a final is difficult to accept.” Can take a lot of pride and confidence from our successful campaign?

Yemen’s Houthi leader condemns Israel’s ‘record of terror’ after killings

Abdel-Malik al-Houthi, the leader of Yemen’s Houthis, denounced Israel and signaled defiance, hailed as “the martyrs of all Yemen” as a result of the group’s confirmation of the death of its prime minister and other cabinet ministers.

He said in his first speech on Sunday since the Israeli attacks that “the Israeli enemy, with its crimes and savagery, does not spare even children, women, and defenceless civilians,” according to Houthi media.

The Israeli enemy in the area’s criminal history is “adjusted to the crime of targeting ministers and civilian officials.”

According to a statement released on Saturday, the Houthis’ government’s prime minister, Ahmed Ghaleb al-Rahawi, was killed in an Israeli attack on Sanaa on Thursday along with “several” other ministers.

At a workshop, Al-Rahawi, who served as prime minister in the country’s divided regions, was targeted along with other Houthi-led government members, according to the statement.

According to Al-Houthi, “the Israeli enemy’s history is one of horrific terror” because it murders civilians in Palestinian-held areas like Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Iran. He referred to Israel as “a criminal foe that uses practices that have no laws, commitments, charters, and no considerations to demonstrate its savagery, criminality, and aggression.”

In solidarity with the suffering of the Palestinians, the Houthi commander declared that the organization would continue to act against Israel in support of the Gaza war, adding that “our people will not be weakened by the aggression they are facing.”

In recent months, Israel has repeatedly attacked Houthi positions as a result of Yemen’s attacks on Israeli and Western vessels in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.

Israeli media reported on Friday that the Israeli army attacked the entire Houthi cabinet on Thursday, including the prime minister and 12 other ministers, in a report quoting unnamed sources.

According to health officials, the attack occurred four days after Israeli attacks on the Yemeni capital on August 24. The attack resulted in the deaths of 10 people and more than 90 injuries.

Houthi office raids

At least one UN employee was detained in Yemen’s capital on Sunday as a glaring attempt to tighten security following Israel’s attacks across Sanaa.

Without providing further information, UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) spokesperson Ammar Ammar reported to the Associated Press that there was “an ongoing situation” involving their Sanaa offices.

The UN official claimed that several other World Food Programme (WFP) and UNICEF employees had lost contacts and that they were likely also being held hostage.

Security forces also raided the organizations’ offices in the Houthi-controlled capital on Sunday morning, according to Abeer Etefa, a WFP spokesperson, according to the Associated Press.

According to Etefa, “WFP reiterates that the arbitrary detention of humanitarian staff is unacceptable.”

The latest Houthi crackdown against the UN and other international organizations operating in Yemen’s rebel-held areas is the most recent.

Difficulty numbers of UN employees have been taken into custody, as well as individuals connected to aid organizations, civil society, and the now-closed US Embassy in Sanaa.
