US forces in the region are “ready to go”, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said, as Washington and its European and Middle Eastern partners honed plans to punish Assad for a major poison gas attack last week that killed hundreds of civilians. Several sources who attended a meeting in Istanbul on Monday between Syrian opposition leaders and diplomats from Washington and other governments said that the rebels were told to expect military action and to get ready to negotiate a peace. “The opposition was told in clear terms that action to deter further use of chemical weapons by the Assad regime could come as early as in the next few days, and that they should still prepare for peace talks at Geneva,” one of the sources said. Ahmad Jarba, president of the Syrian National Coalition, met envoys from 11 states in the Friends of Syria group, including Robert Ford, the US ambassador to Syria, at an Istanbul hotel. United Nations chemical weapons investigators, who finally crossed the frontline to take samples on Monday, put off a second trip to rebel-held suburbs of Damascus.

The years since have largely been barren, with no title at any since a side including Paul Scholes, Gary Neville, Sol Campbell and Robbie Fowler triumphed on home soil in the European U18 Championship in 1993. This time round hopes are high following wins against Finland (2-1) and Spain (2-0), coupled with a 1-1 draw against Germany, taking Stuart Pearce's side through as Group B winners to face Sweden. They will hope to fare better than two years ago when they went out to the Dutch hosts after a 32-penalty shoot-out. • Sweden, meanwhile, have never won a UEFA men's competition, losing to Italy 2-1 on aggregate over two legs off the 1992 U21 final. The Scandinavian side last reached this stage five years ago, losing on penalties to Serbia and Montenegro in Oberhausen after a 1-1 draw. A measure of revenge was exacted on Matchday 3 of this competition, a 3-1 win against Serbia in Malmo taking the hosts into the last four as Group A runners-up following a 5-1 win against Belarus and 2-1 defeat by Italy.

Having been held 0-0 by the Iberians in their opener, Germany's 2-0 success against Finland means they would advance with a defeat at Örjans vall providing Spain fail to beat the Finns and overturn a four-goal differential. • Should Germany and Spain finish level on points, goal difference and goals scored, then coefficient ranking will come into play. Based on points obtained divided by the number of matches played in qualifying for the 2007 and 2009 finals (group stage only), Spain's coefficient is superior, 3.400 to Germany's 2.700. • England have enjoyed the better of the countries' competitive meetings down the years, notably with victories over the Germans in the 1982 UEFA European Championship final and also in the qualifying play-off for the 2007 finals in the Netherlands. • England have four wins and just one defeat from the previous eight encounters.

  • Arsenal-Spurs Tops Bill in FA Cup Third Round
    SPORTS SATURDAY, JANUARY 4, 2014 Clubs unlikely to splash cash in transfer window LONDON: When European football’s January transfer window opens for business on Wednesday, the market is expected to have a slow start. In Europe, top teams seem to be largely happy with their squads after spending nearly $1 billion in the offseason. And although English league clubs are unlikely to splash cash in January, Arsenal and Chelsea could be tempted to strengthen their squads with new strikers. Chasing their first league title in 10 years, the Gunners are reportedly looking for a forward to add to France international Olivier Giroud, who ended a seven-match scoring drought with the win- ner at Newcastle on Sunday, ensuring that his club starts 2014 at the top. Although Giroud said Arsenal has sufficient attacking options for the remainder of the season with himself, Lukas Podolski and Theo Walcott, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger hinted he could be tempted to sign a couple of new players. After failing to lure Luis Suarez, Wenger won’t bid again for the Uruguay striker, who signed a new deal with Liverpool this month. “We are, as many clubs, certainly on alert. If something special turns up, we will not turn it down,” Wenger said. “But we are not as well desperate because we have a big depth in our LONDON: Stoke City’s English defender Ryan Shawcross (left) commits a hand-ball in the area in blocking squad.” Tottenham Hotspur’s Togolese striker Emmanuel Adebayor’s shot to concede a penalty during the English Lagging two points behind Arsenal in the standings, Premier League football match between Tottenham Hotspur and Stoke City at White Hart Lane in north Chelsea could also be looking for extra firepower after London on December 29, 2013.

The Dean Academy, a secondary London school in southwest England’s Glouces- tershire, closed October 23 to get rid of the false widow spiders. The spiders are commonly mistaken for their relative, the black widow spider, whose bite can be fatal. The school said no one has been bitten by the spider but local health authorities have advised it to close for the day to deal with the infestation. Experts say the Steodata nobilis, a species of the false widow, are becom- ing more common in the UK and are the most dangerous of the 12 species of biting spiders known in Britain. But they stress that spider bites are rare in Britain, and in most cases the symptoms are mild. The spider’s bite may sting, swell up or cause discomfort like a wasp sting, but has not been known to cause deaths.

    Date: 16 May 2015 BBC Sunday Times Sun Telegraph Telegraph May2015 16 Opposition: Crystal Palace Standard Observer Times Mirror Competition: League Echo Sun Independent Independent Mail Liverpool in urgent need of new leader among men Liverpool Lallana 26 1 Crystal Palace Puncheon 43, Zaha 60, Murray 90 3 Referee J Moss Attendance 44,673 Cutting humour is a long-established feature of the Kop's repertoire. On Saturday, Steven Gerrard was on the receiving end when a chant of "What the f****** hell was that?" erupted after he skied a free kick, sending the ball into the heart of the stand. If that was good-natured, the next bout of mocking was not. The laughter that greeted Gerrard being asked whether Liverpool would flourish in his absence should send shockwaves through a club whose fans are rapidly losing faith. A second 3-1 defeat by Crystal Palace of a campaign that has screamed mediocrity almost from start to finish ensured the Liverpool supporters were in no mood to match Gerrard's diplomatic response to that question. Not since "Hodgson for England" was sung in irony has an Anfield crowd treated its own with such disdain. Had the club's principal owners, John W. Henry and Tom Werner, been present they might have got the message that all is not well but they had not seen Gerrard's final game at Anfield as a good enough reason to attend, choosing to stay in the United States. The pair continue to watch the team they own on television but it is only by being at the stadium that they would be able to understand the full extent of the disconnect between supporters and team.
