UNITED WIN MANCHESTER DERBY MILES MEREDITH After loosing in midweek, Manchester United came back strong and won to their near rivals Manchester City. After going up 2-0 in the first half, Wayne Rooney put them in front after 20 minutes, then scoring another goal running into the near post. In the second half, Manchester City were erged on by their supporting fans and managed to get two goals from Yaya Toure and Pablo Zabaleta, arriving in from the edge of the box. It looked like the match would finish in a draw but in the 90th minute, Robin Van Persie won a freekick and diverted it home due to a problem in the Manchester city wall. Alex Ferguason was very pleased with the result and said that it was “a good game – a special one” he also added the words saying “the game was engrossing and it shows how good the premier league actually is” However it was the first defeat for the Home side, Manchester City, who haven’t lost since December 20th 2010 against Everton. A incredible day for the away side. THE HOBBIT PREMIER BY ANANDA CHATTERJEE Yesterday, the UK premier of Peter Jackson’s new film, The Hobbit, showcased in London with the whole cast attending. Martin Freeman (Bilbo Baggins), Andy Serkis (Gollum), Ian McKellen (Gandalf) and the director, Peter Jackson were the main people on the green (not red) carpet. Also, making a special appearance was the Duke of Cambridge! However, the Duchess of Cambridge couldn’t attend due to morning-sickness. The Duke of Cambridge said ‘She would have loved to have been here’. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is the first of the trilogy which cost over £300 million to produce!! The film is shot in 3D and 48fs (frames per second). This is basically HHD. It’s faster, brighter and much more detailed. However, it was met with mixed reviews. The movie itself, however; was very well received with early positive reviews praising the cinematography, acting and music. The pacing and length, however; was criticised and critics say it’s not as good as the original Lord of the Rings trilogy but still very good. The rest of the UK will have to wait until the weekend to see the film for itself! ARSENAL GOING DOWNHILL BY ELLIOT KING Most people would say Arsenal is going downhill; not having won a single trophy since the 2005 FA cup. Most are blaming this on the current manager, Arsene Wenger. Arsene Wenger has been manager since 1996, and many people are saying it is time for him to retire. This season Arsenal has started to pick up again. This could be due to their recent signing of Luca Podolski, who seems to be doing well and boosting the team’s morale. Unfortunately for them, Arsenal have been recently knocked out of the Carling Cup leading to another loss of a trophy. Currently, Arsenal are in 7th place, which is a position I am sure they are disappointed in. Perhaps Arsenal can pull it back, although it seems as though most people are in doubt about winning any silver wear this year. THE HEAT IS ON AFTER VOLCANIC ERUPTION IN RUSSIA BY SEBASTIAN YELESEN SHHL In the Kamchatka Peninsula, the Plosky Tolbachic volcano has erupted, leaving people living nearby struck with thoughts of an apocalypse and local Geologists baffled. The last time the Plosky Tolbachic erupted was over 36 years ago and after all that time the volcano erupting was quite a surprise! The nearby authorities have their eyes peeled for any more volcanic activity in the area and are trying to predict what will happen next.

BY HATTIE COLE One of the best things about Christmas day is looking forward to a Christmas special of your favourite TV shows. Luckily for you, I am going to direct you to the brilliant TV shows which are worth watching this year! Call The Midwife-25th December BBC1 7:30pm Unfortunately I have not seen this show but there have been excellent reviews. This show is about an abandoned baby found on the doorstep, where the whole community chips in to provide care for this child, whilst trying to trace down its mother. As I haven’t seen this show, I cannot give an established opinion but, “Call the Midwife” involves the comedian Miranda Hart. As I and many others, are a big fan of Miranda Hart, mostly from her comedy “Miranda”, I will be watching this TV show on Christmas day. You’ve been Framed Christmas special-25th December ITV1 5:00pm I personally like watching ‘You’ve been Framed’ and it makes it even better that there will be a Christmas special. It gives regular people the chance to donate hilarious home videos along the theme of Christmas which, in most cases, lift our Christmas spirits! I will definitely be watching this fantastic and humorous show. Downton Abbey Christmas Special-25th December ITV1 8:45pm Downton Abbey episodes always live up to my expectations. It is a show based in the 1900s and appeals to many ages. Last year the show had their first Christmas special, which included the heart-wrenching trial of Bates’ the valet. That episode was extremely popular last year and the show has had many viewers ever since. There should be many people tuning in to watch this fantastic show as I definitely will be watching this Christmas special, but there is always that question: will it be as good as last year? X FACTOR WINNERS... WHERE ARE THEY NOW? IMOGEN SZERDY This year James Arthur was crowned winner of the biggest British show on television, the X factor. He has released a single and is doing very well, but will this last forever or just a short while? We have seen winners in their glory before such as Alexandra Burk, Leon Jackson, Joe McElderry and Matt Cardle, remember them? X factor is known for giving young talented people a big break but is that true, yes they may have a number 1 on Itunes when they very first win the show, but is this proof that the X factor is over rated? Although there have been a few successful winners such as, Leona Lewis and Little Mix who seem to be living life to the full after their success in the journey on the show THE LIVING LEGEND LIONEL MESSI BY HARRY WILSON Lionel Messi is debatebly the best player in the world at the current time. He has recently passed Gerd Mullers record of 85 goals in 1972. Messi has played 353 games in his club career and has scored 285 times. For his country he has played 76 games and has scored 31 goals. Messi has been said to be the best player ever. However, a lot of critics say Ronaldo is better as Messi has Iniesta and Xavi to assist him. There has been recent controversy as to wether Messi holds the world record because Godrey Chitalu supposedly scored 107 goals despite this not being official. Messi has won 3 Ballon d’or’s and has been nominated for a fourth, along with Iniesta and Christiano Ronaldo. Messi has often been compared to Diego Maradonna, as they are both Argentinian. He also scored a goal at almost exactly the same as Diego Maradonna. KATE MIDDLETON IS PREGNANT CHLOE JAMES The Royal Family have received some wonderful news this week that Kate Middleton is pregnant with William. The family were forced to tell the public because Kate got rushed to hospital because of serious morning sickness which got out of control. Later in the day she got diagnosed with Hyperemesis Gravidarum. Some people are wondering whether Kate Middleton is too thin to be pregnant and that she might even suffer from pregorexia- a toxic mix of eating disorders and the weight gain that can come with pregnancy. Kate Middleton is now 12 weeks pregnant. We have found out that two Australian radio presenters prank called the hospital where she was staying and the radio presenters asked the nurse (who answered the phone) to pass them onto Kate. After they had talked to Kate they asked the nurse for medical details the nurse told her about all of her results.
