The incident brought a smile to Magee's face.

His 13 goals and seven assists helped transform New England from a club that hadn't made the playoffs in years to one of the more exciting attacking outfits in MLS....

She wanted to send a message to Arafat and Netanyahu via a channel they wouldn’t dare ignore: their own people....

And then, of course, I went ahead and did it. I broke the cardinal rule: I made myself too available. Upon arriving back to my room, my computer stared at me. Beckoned to me. Seduced me, even. Send a cute email! It said. Just one quick instant message. I considered my options. One little Facebook message never hurt anyone, right? Wrong. After nearly a semester of scheming and schmoozing, I demolished all my good work in a few quick keystrokes....

Lucas arrived at Spurs for a reported £23 million fee in January having fallen out of favour at Paris Saint-Germain following the arrivals of Neymar and Kylian Mbappe. Although the Brazil international impressed in a handful of FA Cup appearances, scoring once and setting up two more across a couple of clashes with Rochdale, he has not been a regular for Pochettino. He has hardly featured in the Premier League, with his three substitute outings seeing him accumulate just 48 minutes on the pitch....
Pochettino would not discuss Ajax defender Davinson Sanchez, for whom Spurs have reportedly had a bid that could eventually reach a club-record £40million accepted.
