Peerless SC don’t really carry much of a threat to derail the Mariners’ ambitions of winning the CFL at the Bagan club ground on Monday. Mohun Bagan are currently level on points at the top of the table with arch-rivals East Bengal with 19 points from seven games. But East Bengal enjoy a better goal difference.

The disgruntled wife shared her findings to Mumsnet, under the username Ireallyshouldntbesurprised, as she revealed her other half often lies about “tiny” and “big” things. “Each time he’s caught in a lie, I remind him of just how much I detest being lied to, he apologises and we attempt to move on—but it of course nibbles away at my trust each and every time,” she said. Her post, shared on Thursday, detailed how she caught him out again, as she explained he had a big meeting in London, from 9 a....

Today, technology means that prospective parents can find out the sex of their child from as early as 20 weeks into pregnancy. However, some moms and dads still prefer to be kept on their toes and not find out. It’s a contentious approach, not least because studies suggest finding out the sex of a baby during pregnancy can actually improve the child’s life chances. A 2022 Cambridge University study concluded it was far better for parents to learn the sex of their child so that treatment plans could be tailored towards ensuring the best outcome for the child....

Man Utd receive Perisic boost Antonio Conte made Bakayoko his preferred option to strengthen his midfield and the deal has been described as “close” by people involved in the deal. Chelsea grew impatient with the slow negotiations in recent weeks, but all three parties are thought to have recently agreed the financial details of the move. Monaco used the negotiations for Bakayoko to state their interest in Michy Batshuayi, but he will not be included in Chelsea’s move for the 22-year-old....

Thomas Tuchel’s men suffered a 3-2 defeat at home, and their task in the reverse fixture is complicated by the away goals Monaco scored at Signal Iduna Park. UEFA shouldn’t have played BVB game Dortmund were recovering from the shock of the attack on their bus last week, though, and are likely to be in a better frame of mind this time around as they seek to inflict a first home defeat in Europe this season on Leonardo Jardim’s side....

“Hoody Hoo!” – Master P Recently we took a look at WCW’s efforts to crossover with the music industry by bringing in KISS for a concert that failed spectacularly. he KISS Demon was terrible, but was mostly confined to a couple of minor matches on PPV and TV and then disappeared for good. However, before they hit rock bottom with that experiment, we had to endure months of an even more painful crossover: a southern-based wrestling company attempting to win over rap fans....
