Former Arsenal star takes up assistant coaching role with Under-17 national teamThe 32-year-old struggled with injuries last season and was unable to find a club. Listen to “It’s All Kicking Off!” Using Trent Alexander-Arnold in midfield “was a progressive move, but unfortunately it didn’t work out.” The former Arsenal star has retired from football to become coach of the U-17 national team. The World Cup-winning defender revealed that he had been thinking about coaching for some time. At 32, the former Germany international is a relatively young player to retire as a top-flight footballer. However, he spent the entirety of…

A large-scale aerial survey in South Sudan has revealed a mass migration of six million antelope, the largest terrestrial mammal movement on Earth, more than twice the size of the annual “great migration” between Tanzania and Kenya, which involves around two million wildebeest, zebras and gazelles.”The South Sudan migration dwarfs any other migration we know of,” said David Simpson, manager of Boma and Badingiro National Parks for the wildlife NGO African Parks, who oversees the area surrounding the two parks through which the migration takes place. “We estimate that the antelope herd is almost three times the size of the…

“Medium” is an obvious example. As a word, I don’t think it counts as teen slang anymore; it’s too useful, and it’s so widely used now. In my son’s usage, anything that’s “medium” is basically average or a little below average. You can’t complain about it, but it doesn’t bring you joy. It’s often the result of refining market research to a level where it achieves lukewarm consumer acceptance. All Starbucks falls into the “medium” category. All airports do. It’s a brilliant, apt phrase for a world full of mild disappointment, where the corner bakery that did some things well…
