‌In October, 2016, Luis Suarez headed a remarkable finish from the edge of the penalty area against West Brom and, at Stoke City in 2010, Javier Hernandez scored a ‘back-header’ for Manchester United that was all about improvisation. And the Romero header that earned Spurs a well-deserved point belongs in that sort of bracket. But as quickly as Spurs fans realised it was time to celebrate, they then realised this was still a result that gave weight to their contention that Thomas Frank should be dismissed. Recently, they have merited the points they earned against Manchester United and against Liverpool at Anfield.

Photograph: Bryan O'BrienA man has been restricted by the Supreme Court in bringing further family law litigation against his ex-partner after subjecting her to protracted litigation over more than 13 years, involving estimated costs to her of more than €300,000. The man lost most of his applications but, despite multiple costs orders against him in the woman’s favour, he failed to pay any costs to her. The case raised important issues about whether litigation restriction orders known as Isaac Wunder (IW) orders can be made in family law cases. The High Court can, in an appropriate case, make IW orders relating to Circuit and District Court cases, she held. She alleged persistent failures by the man to comply with court orders, including payment of maintenance and costs.

They're in the midst of a top four battle whilst Arsenal, spearheaded by Rice in their midfield, sit top of the pile. It was the Germans who paid £86m to land him and Sheringham believes United have been turning their noses up and buying "second-rate" players. He told The Sun: “I think they should have got Harry Kane two and a half, three years ago when he was up for grabs. I said then at the time, Kane and Declan Rice should both be snapped up because they’re leaders on the football pitch. There is an expectation that he will eventually return to England, but Bayern are getting him in the peak of his career whilst United have continued to struggle for a prolific forward.

Unbeaten over three starts over fences, the seven-year-old needed every yard to scoop Grade One honours at the Foxrock venue over the Christmas period, but his assured stamina could prove a bonus if weather forecasts prove correct ahead of the Dublin Racing Festival. Romeo Coolio also holds an entry for the longer Ladbrokes Novice Chase on day two of the Dublin Racing Festival, where he would lock horns with the equally talented Final Demand, but Elliott said: “To be honest if it keeps raining as it is, there is every chance he will turn up in the two-mile race. “It’s spilling rain and they’ve given plenty more out in Ireland at the minute so it could be nice and testing. “It would be a great race against Kopek Des Bordes, but at least then we would find out where we’re going in the future.”
