Sheikh Jassim increases bid to buy Manchester United from Glazer family

Pent TV, Sports, World News

Qatar's Sheikh Jassim and Sir Jim Ratcliffe's INEOS previously submitted their third and final bids to buy Man Utd on April 28; Sheikh Jassim's renewed offer would clear almost £1bn worth of debt at Man Utd and distribute ring-fenced funds for the club and community Sheikh Jassim's renewed offer, believed to be close to £5bn but shy of the Glazer family's £6bn valuation, was submitted to the Raine Group, the New York-based investment bank overseeing the sale of the club, on Tuesday morning. The third and final round of bidding concluded on April 28 but, with reports last week claiming a revised offer from Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS had put them in pole position to acquire United, Sheikh Jassim has moved again. Sheikh Jassim believes his bid is a very competitive one which bri...

Manchester City vs Real Madrid-WHO WINS TONIGHT?

Pent TV, Sports, World News

Match Preview It’s not an exaggeration to suggest this is the biggest game in Manchester City’s recent history. With the Premier League title all but wrapped up after Arsenal’s defeat to Brighton at the weekend, and a FA Cup final against Manchester United – where City will be heavy favourites – Real Madrid stand between them and the chance of going for an historic treble. Granted, Inter Milan will be no pushovers in the final should they overcome rivals AC Milan in the other semi-final, but Pep Guardiola’s team are sure to be overwhelming favourites in that final too, should they get there. But this is the Champions League. And this is Real Madrid, a side that thrive in knockout competition. So much so that it can sometimes feel like they can channel black magic to drag themselves o...

INTER 1-0 AC MILAN (3-0 ON AGGREGATE) – LAUTARO MARTINEZ ADDS FINAL FLOURISH AS INTER REACH CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL

International, Pent TV, Sports

Inter Milan are into the Champions League final after Lautaro Martinez's goal secured a 1-0 win over AC Milan and a 3-0 aggregate victory at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza.With the onus on Milan to attack, the first half was their strongest of the tie, but they still could not break through the stubborn Inter backline.Brahim Diaz squandered their best chance when he received a cutback unmarked and 12 yards from goal, but his tame effort was brilliantly saved by Andre Onana. The goalkeeper should never have been given a chance to make a stop, no matter how impressive. The fit-again Rafael Leao also come close, but shot narrowly wide after reminding everyone what Milan missed in the first leg with a surging run.Inter took what little sting there was out of the match following the break and pu...

Drop Andre Ayew from Black Stars to make way for young players – Osei Kuffour

Ghana News, Sports

Ex-Ghana midfielder Emmanuel Osei Kuffour believes it’s time for Andre Ayew to be dropped from the Black Stars to make way for other young, talented players. According to him, Ayew has run his race with the national time and must now take a back seat for other players to shine. The former Hearts of Oak man was, however, quick to add that Andre’s younger brother, Jordan Ayew, still has a lot to offer the Black Stars. “Andre Ayew is done with the Black Stars and should be shown the exit in order to open doors for emerging talents like Kudus Mohammed,” Kuffour told Onua Sports, as quoted by 3news.“Dede Ayew has been with the Black Stars since 2008, and it’s time to leave. Kudus Mohammed, Kamaldeen Sulemana, and others also need the space to show us what they have.“Andre Ayew has ...

Neville: Klopp sent Man Utd and Newcastle a message: ‘He’s coming for you!’

Sports, World News

Gary Neville believes Newcastle and Manchester United will be sweating over Liverpool's late-season resurgence in the race for Champions League qualification. Curtis Jones' double pushed Leicester to the brink of relegation as the Merseysiders cruised to a 3-0 win at the King Power Stadium - two years to the day since the Foxes' FA Cup triumph. The midfielder's first-half brace and Trent Alexander-Arnold's stunner eased the visitors to victory as the hosts capitulated to leave them staring at the drop. That it came on the anniversary of their first ever FA Cup win underlined the 2016 Premier League champions' fall from grace - but Liverpool moved to within a point of Manchester United as their late charge for the top four continued. Jurgen Klopp celebrated wildly with his t...

Ghana school students talk about their social media addiction, and how it affects their use of English

Ghana News, Lifestyle & Social, Science & Technology

Social media networks such as Facebook, WhatsApp, Telegram, YouTube and Instagram have been shown to have significantly transformed student behaviour. But the focus has been on students’ social behaviour. And on how the English language is being spoken because of social media use. The relationship between social media and students’ English language writing has been largely ignored. Our team of four researchers who specialize in language studies set out to study the relationship between social media use and English language performance. We studied one English as a Second Language class at Fiaseman Senior High School in Tarkwa, western Ghana. English is Ghana’s official language and is the medium of instruction for all levels of education. We learnt from the students th...
