On Wednesday, Sportsmail revealed for the first time how popular each Premier League club is around the globe according to Twitter followers. Arsenal came out on top globally with 5.68million followers ahead of Chelsea (5.49m) and Manchester United (4.87m). But one country was missing: China – where the government outlaws Twitter as they seek to keep control of information and the media. Manchester United have over eight million followers on Weibo, almost double that of Twitter . Manchester City also have over eight million Weibo followers compared to 2.4million on Twitter . Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao are third on the list of clubs in the world with most Weibo followers . In Twitter’s place is a microblogging site called Weibo which has an incredible 27.2m Premier League fans – just one million short of the total number of Premier League fans on the whole of Twitter worldwide. So, do Chinese fans follow the same patterns at the rest of the world? Well it is a story of one city in China, with the Manchester clubs accumulating 17,193,721 followers. United have 8,872,812 Weibo followers compared with 4,870,000 on Twitter, while City have 8,320,909 compared with just 2,420,000. Barcelona have 5.4million followers on Weibo, the fourth most of any club in the world . Arsenal have 3.6million followers on Weibo compared to 5.6 million on Twitter . United’s support in China is no surprise as they have solid support across Asia on Twitter, but City punch well above their weight in China compared with the rest of the continent. Somewhat surprisingly Tottenham are the only other club Premier League club to have more followers in China than on Twitter – 1,367,140 compared with 1,090,000. Elsewhere, Everton’s support is very much in the infancy with just 527 of the 275m Weibo users following Roberto Martinez’s side. Of the 10 Premier League clubs active on Weibo, six – United, City, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham, feature in the top 20 most followed clubs in China. The Manchester clubs are first and second, with Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao – managed by Fabio Cannavaro – third and Barcelona fourth. Chelsea are 11th on the list of clubs with most followers on the Chinese microblogging site . Liverpool have 2.3million followers on Chinese site Weibo compared to 4.2million on Twitter . Bayern Munich are 13th, Real Madrid are way down in 18th – with 81,303 less followers than Tottenham – and Paris Saint Germain in 20th. And such is the popularity of the Premier League, Michael Owen has a staggering 3,074,148 followers on the site - which would put him 10th in the top 20 clubs list. With the popularity of football rapidly increasingly in China – in December 2014 the China’s President made football compulsory for children and added it to the national curriculum – expect Premier League clubs to intensify their effort to grab a slice of this lucrative market. SportQuake provided the data and their founder Matt House said: 'With its thrilling brand of football, the Premier League delivers mass engagement for fans in markets all over the

Summary: Man United and Man City have over 8million followers each on Weibo . Both clubs have more followers on the Chinese website than Twitter . Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao are the third most followed club . Barcelona are fourth, but Real Madrid are down in 18th place . Five Premier League clubs feature in the top 12 on Weibo .

Andros Townsend enjoyed silencing the critics with his wonder strike for England, saying naysayers like Paul Merson provided the perfect motivation for him in Italy. This has been a topsy-turvy season for the 23-year-old, who has yet to reach the heights he scaled when he first burst onto the international scene.

Octavia Spencer shocked and angered hundreds of fans at a recent book signing, acting like an 'ungrateful b****,' say eyewitnesses who were so incensed with the actress's behavior they stormed out and demanded refunds. The 44-year-old Academy Award winner, who won Best Supporting Actress for her role as Minnie Jackson, a maid, in 'The Help,' and is currently starring in the film 'Insurgent,' was at Barnes & Noble bookstore at The Grove in Los Angeles last week to autograph copies of her children's book 'Randi Rhodes Ninja Detective — The Sweetest Heist in History.' But before the night was over people were dragging their kids out of line, demanding refunds on the books and stormed out of the store in disgust. 'Octavia was mean, rude and horrible to everyone,' former Octavia fan, Angel Guzman explained to the Daily Mail in an exclusive interview. Scroll down for video .

But there was nothing sweet about Spencer, who complained constantly, refused to engage with fans or pose with them for a photo . Before the night was over people were dragging their kids out of line, demanding refunds on the books and stormed out of the store in disgust . 'Initially, there was a Q & A but Octavia acted like she was forced to be there and she took her anger out on all of us, including the kids. 'Octavia's answers were short and blunt and there were times she rolled her eyes to the back of her head like she couldn't believe someone could ask such a stupid question. It quickly became a very uncomfortable situation for all of us,' says Guzman. 'It was clear they just needed to proceed to the autographs because Octavia was not responding well at all to the questions.' Octavia was scheduled to autograph her books from 7-9 p.m. but she was complaining the moment she arrived about the space they put her in, the 'tiny glass of water' she was given, that her feet were hurting so she took a long bathroom break, leaving everyone to wonder if she left or not. 'Octavia was acting like a diva. She was mad because the event coordinator gave her a small glass of water but she wanted a large liter of 'good water' and demanded to know why she was being treated this way,' Guzman continued. 'All of this happened in front of everyone who has been standing there for at least an hour, with their restless kids, waiting for her to show up. Octavia didn't acknowledge the crowd in any way; she just showed up and started to complain. 'But when the she finally started to sign the books is when things went from bad to worse.' Ordinarily, celebrities allow their fans to take a picture with them at these book signings, but Octavia said no touching, no

Michael Carrick's outstanding second-half performance for England against Italy on Tuesday night has put him on course to become the longest-serving outfield player to represent the Three Lions behind Sir Stanley Matthews. Carrick made his England debut against Mexico in May 2001 as a teenager with West Ham United and if – as now seems likely – he carries through to Euro 2016, he will be the first non-goalkeeper since the legendary Sir Stanley to have an international career spanning more than 15 years. Matthews won his 54 England caps over a 23-year period between 1934 and 1957, interrupted of course by the Second World War. Michael Carrick's appearance for England against Italy on Tuesday night keeps him in the longest-serving list . Carrick has played for England for 13 years, 310 days - while Sir Stanley Matthews reached 22 years, 228 days . Sir Stanley runs with the ball in action for England against Brazil at Wembley in an international friendly . Stanley Matthews (1934-57) 22 yrs, 228 days . Peter Shilton (1970-90) 19 yrs, 224 days . Frank Lampard (1999-2014) 14 yrs, 257 days . Steven Gerrard (2000-2014) 14 yrs, 23 days . David Seaman (1988-2002) 13 yrs, 335 days . Michael Carrick (2001- ) 13 yrs, 310 days . ...AND THE LEGENDS HE OVERTOOK . David Beckham (1996-2009) – 13 yrs, 43 days . Sir Bobby Charlton (1958-70) 12 yrs, 23 days . Bobby Moore (1962-73) 11 yrs, 178 days . Gary Lineker (1984-1992) 8 yrs, 22 days . Carrick was hailed by Manchester United team-mate Wayne Rooney as 'the best player on the pitch by a mile' after the 33-year-old was introduced as a half-time substitute in Turin and helped Roy Hodgson's men fight back to earn a 1-1 draw. His longevity already surpasses that of great names like Sir Bobby Charlton, Bobby Moore, David Beckham and Gary Lineker and if he continues to play in the next European Championship he will overtake Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard too. The only player to have had a longer career since Matthews is goalkeeper Peter Shilton who played for England between 1971 and 1990. It also begs the question why Carrick, who has won four Premier League titles and the Champions League with Manchester United, has been used so sparingly by his country at international tournaments. He played once at the 2006 World Cup in a 1-0 victory against Ecuador, was in the squad but never played by Fabio Capello in the disastrous 2010 campaign in South Africa, and wasn't even selected by Roy Hodgson last year in Brazil, even though England's perennial problem has been keeping the ball. With Rooney now captain and clearly a huge fan of the midfielder, it seems unlikely Carrick will be overlooked again and is now finally getting the recognition he deserves. The 33-year-old may still have a few years left but remains a long way off Sir Stanley's record . Carrick (left) pictured with England team-mates Raheem Sterling (centre) and Danny Welbeck (right) vs Italy, March 31, 2015 . vs Lithuania, Mar 27,

Summary: Michael Carrick made his England debut against Mexico in May 2001 . The Manchester United man came on against Italy on Tuesday night . Carrick has been serving England for 13 years and 310 days . Sir Stanley Matthews played for a staggering 22 years and 228 days .


Izzy Brown has spoken of the incredible weekend that saw him inspire Chelsea's youth team to glory in the UEFA Youth League either side of a call-up to Jose Mourinho's first-team squad. The Blues' under 19 captain played the full 90 minutes of Chelsea's 4-0 semi-final win over Roma in Switzerland on Friday afternoon after learning that Mourinho wanted him on the bench for the Premier League clash at Queens Park Rangers on Sunday. So Brown flew back to London, watched from the Loftus Road dug-out as a late goal from Cesc Fabregas took Chelsea a step closer to the title, and then hopped back on a plane to Geneva. Izzy Brown has spoken of the incredible weekend after Chelsea won the UEFA Youth League on Monday . Brown was on the bench for Chelsea seniors for the Premier League clash at Queens Park Rangers on Sunday . But just a few hours later he was out in Nyon scoring twice and captaining his side in becoming champions . And clearly untroubled by the 'commuting', the 18-year-old scored twice in the 3-2 final win over Shakhtar Donetsk as Chelsea became the first English team to lift the Youth League trophy. After the triumph in Nyon, Brown told Sportsmail: 'I got a phone call at lunchtime (on Friday) and I was told I had to come back to England because the first team needed me on the bench. 'So I was a bit shocked because I wanted to play the final and I didn't know whether I'd get back or not. It's been a bit of a rush but I'm glad I was here and also glad I was on the bench.' Brown's close-range finish gave Chelsea a seventh-minute lead against Shakhtar in the final. Although the Ukrainians were gifted an equaliser when defender Andreas Christensen put through his own net, Chelsea took command after the break. Dominic Solanke (left) and Brown got the goals as Chelsea saw off Shakhtar Donetsk to take the trophy . First, Dominic Solanke headed in a Jeremie Boga cross to restore their lead and then Brown made sure of victory with a well-taken left-foot finish a few minutes later. Brown then had the honour of lifting the Lennart Johansson trophy as Chelsea followed in the footsteps of Barcelona last year. He added: 'It is an amazing achievement, we've come so far since the first game against Schalke. 'There's been lots of ups and downs through the tournament but we've stuck together and now we're European champions. We've got so many creative players, so many people who can score goals.' Brown had the honour of lifting the Lennart Johansson trophy as Chelsea followed in Barcelona's footsteps . Solanke ended the competition as leading scorer, with his 47th-minute header taking his tally to 12, and was understandably delighted. He said: 'It's a great tournament, i managed to do quite well. I finished as top goalscorer, which is an amazing achievement for me. 'Obviously playing against all these different teams in Europe, I've got to adapt to how they play

Summary: Chelsea won the UEFA Youth League by beating Shakhtar Donetsk 3-2 . Izzy Brown flew in to captain side and scored twice after first-team call-up . Brown was shocked but glad to have made it to both games for Chelsea . Dominic Solanke scored Chelsea's other and hailed 'amazing achievement' Solanke also finished as tournament top scorer, netting his 12th in final .


Fully charged: The new scheme will let EE customers pick up free portable chargers . The UK’s biggest mobile network has announced details of a scheme to help customers keep their mobile phones charged. EE shops are planning to give away free portable chargers so that people can revive their phones wherever they are. Once the EE ‘power bar’ runs down, customers will be able to swap it for a new one at any EE shop, or spend four hours charging it up themselves at home. The chargers will be free to EE customers, and other smartphone owners can also sign up to the service if they pay a £20 fee. EE said that battery-draining video streaming and social media site browsing now accounted for more than 50 per cent of all data use on their network. Its research found that almost 60 per cent of smartphone users found their battery would not last a full day. And over half said they wish there were more ways to charge their phone in public places – rising to over 70 per cent of 18 to 24-year-olds. The firm’s marketing officer, Pippa Dunn, said: ‘Almost everyone’s experienced the frustration associated with running out of battery, it seems to happen when you need your phone the most. ‘We’re giving customers a power bar that can be swapped for a fully charged one at any of our stores, at any time, for free.’ Powered up: EE customers will able to pick up free portable chargers from shops to stop their phones from running out of battery .

Summary: EE shops will stock free chargers so people can revive phones while out . Other smartphone users can sign up to service for £20 . Comes after research found 60% customers said battery won't last a day .


A young mother diagnosed with dementia at only 41 is living in fear that she will forget her teenage daughter as doctors predict her condition will deteriorate in just five years. Kelly Watson, of Gateshead in Tyne and Wear, started having problems three years ago when she began struggling with her words and co-ordination. Despite regular trips to GPs, it was never suggested she might have dementia as she was too young. Most likely she was bipolar or depressed. But after tests and a brain scan, she was hit with the horrifying news of early-onset dementia on her 41st birthday on June 23 last year. Now she is terrified of forgetting her 17-year-old daughter Holly and said the joys of watching her grow up had 'all been stolen from me'.

Until 2011, Kelly worked as a clerical officer in the civil service in Longbenton, Tyne and Wear, and lived with her partner and Holly. But she developed uncharacteristic mood swings and started slurring her speech. Her relationship broke down and in February last year she had to quit her job. She could not write and kept losing things such as her purse and keys. Confused and unable to afford her house, she and Holly moved in with her mother, Moira, nearby. Kelly said: 'My mum started helping me dress as I struggled. She even had to wash my hair and shave my legs for me.' After brain scans and cognitive tests, the devastating news revealed the dementia diagnosis. Kelly told the Sunday People: 'We were shattered. With so much life ahead of me it seemed so unfair. 'How do you tell your own daughter there will come a time that I may not remember who she is?' After her condition deteriorated, Kelly and Holly moved in with her mother, Moira, nearby . Kelly, who tries to keep her brain active with quizzes, said she felt lucky to have the love of Moira and Holly . Her mother, Moira, was angry they had to 'beg' for a year and a half to get a scan and is now hoping specialists can give the family an exact diagnosis of Kelly's condition. The 62-year-old said: 'At first they just thought she was depressed and anxious, but I knew there was something more wrong. 'I felt it in my gut, believed she was suffering from some type of

Justine Miliband fell in love with her husband Ed after she was attacked by a Doberman while canvassing on his behalf - even though she had been 'furious' with him after a bungled first date. Mrs Miliband, 44, has revealed that she first met the Labour leader at a dinner party hosted by a mutual friend and thought he was 'good looking' and 'unattached'. But the Labour leader failed to tell his future wife that he was secretly going out with their 'mutual friend' - understood to be the former BBC economics editor Stephanie Flanders. Worse still, the politician persisted in trying to bore his future wife with constant talk of economics, which she can't stand. Scroll down for video .

Mrs Miliband, right, said Ed, left, did not tell her that he was in a relationship when they first met at a party . The mother-of-two was campaigning with her husband in the north west at several events. In an interview with the Daily Mirror, Mrs Miliband said: 'Canvassing in the rain always reminds me of falling in love with Ed in 2005. 'I had never been out leafleting before and didn't realise you had to keep your eye out for dogs on the other side of the letterbox. 'I'd been bitten by a Doberman. Ed bandaged me up and I fell in love with him.' The Doberman incident happened while canvassing in Mr Miliband's constituency in Doncaster. However, Mr Miliband almost doomed the couple's relationship on their first encounter after he failed to reveal that he was already in a relationship. She said: 'I thought he was good looking and clever and seemed to be unattached. But we just went down a conversational cul-de-sac. 'Apparently we had nothing in common. He wanted to talk about economics – one of my least favourite subjects. None of our conversations went anywhere.' The unpromising start to their relationship was compounded when she found out he had been going out with the woman who invited them to dinner. She said: 'I found out he was secretly going out with the woman who had invited us for dinner. I was furious. 'I bumped into him a couple of times after that, but we didn’t start seeing each other for at least a year.'

Adrian Peterson is back in the National Football League. It was announced today that starting Friday, Peterson would be able to participate in all scheduled activities with the Minnesota Vikings.

Peterson met with the NFL two weeks ago to discuss his reinstatement, and at that point things did not look good for the star running back. The Vikings claimed they wanted him back on the roster, and he was set to earn $12.75million for the upcoming season, but Peterson and his camp had taken issue with the team's chief operating officer, Kevin Warren.

An editor for a Los Angeles-based fashion website has opened up about going from a super skinny size two to a ‘healthy’ size ten, in a new article about body acceptance. Being obsessed about having the perfect body is not exclusive to those working in fashion, but it is an industry that encourages it, and Meghan Blalock, Managing Editor of popular style website Who What Wear, is the first to admit that things can get carried away. In a new article published on her website, the 29-year-old editor reveals what her changing sizes taught her about being comfortable in her own skin and how being thinner did not equal being happier - though she admits that this is only something she has recently started coming to terms with. Strike a pose: Meghan Blalock, pictured at a Marchesa shoot in 2014, when she ‘squeezed into’ a small size six dress, has opened up about her battle with body image . Blogger extraordinaire: Meghan wrote the article for the website Who What Wear, where she works as a Managing Editor . 'I was teased for being fat starting around seven or eight years old,' she writes. 'Of course, I was far from actually being fat, but I think the cruelty of my peers ended up having a long-term impact that I am just overcoming.' In her confessional, Meghan describes being every different size from a two to a ten, explaining that her smallest form was achieved after losing 25 pounds as a teenager when she 'made it my mission to show up to my freshman year looking fitter and better than ever'. She met that goal by going on a restriction diet and 'exercising like crazy all summer'. Stepping into the school on the first day back to a windfall of compliments, Meghan admits that she felt 'amazing', but also reveals that the 'high' she gained from being thin led her down a path to 'an actual addiction'. Ever-changing: The 29-year-old, pictured when she was somewhere between a size four and a size six, says she has been 'pretty much every size you can imagine' 'Eventually, I ended up somewhere around 110 pounds, and I stopped menstruating,' she writes. 'My “rock bottom,” as they say, came when, at 15 years old, I found myself in my parents' bathroom, sobbing because I had overshot my calorie limit for the day, and was pondering vomiting it all up.' That turning point put Meghan on the journey to accepting her body. And while it was a long time before she truly achieved that state, she now confesses that she knows the times in her life when she was at her skinniest, were also the periods when she was the most unhappy. 'The times when I have been thin, when I looked really, really great in every single photo, are the times when I have been the most miserable on the inside,' she says. 'When I’ve been my skinniest, I’ve been my unhappiest: Meghan says she is much more happy since she let go of trying to be

Summary: Meghan Blalock, 29, is the Managing Editor for popular style website Who What Wear . She says that her obsession with losing weight began when she was bullied as a young child and eventually it became an 'addiction'


As the World cup draws closer, it is not just in the rugby heartlands that they are beginning to feel the excitement. Twickenham, as the home of rugby, may be gearing up to embrace the sport’s biggest tournament, but on the other side of the capital, the Olympic stadium – built for athletics and destined to be a football ground - is also quietly preparing to get in the oval-ball act. In Newcastle, St James’ Park, usually a footballing stronghold, is another ground about to host Rugby’s premier competition, and as former Bath, Saracens and England prop David ‘Flats’ Flatman has been finding out, from the north east to east London, England is getting rugby-fever. David 'Flats' Flatman has been driving around the Rugby World Cup venues preparing for the tournament . London's Olympic stadium may not be a traditional rugby ground, but the buzz around the game is palpable . ‘Going to all these places and seeing the buzz around the World Cup already, is great,’ says Flats on the drive between Stratford and Twickenham, as he tours around the country visiting the stadiums that will host matches come this autumn as part of BT Sport's Tour de Flats. ‘You kind of expect that kind of a buzz in rugby cities, like Cardiff and Exeter. But when you arrive in Newcastle and the guy who is fixing the cabinet comes over to you to talk about rugby, you realise there’s a proper enthusiasm in places that are normally dominated by football.’ Building that enthusiasm, with the prospect of high-calibre sport on the horizon, is one thing. But as everyone connected with the Olympic stadium knows, maintaining it after the competition is gone is another matter altogether. But Flats is confident that, long term, this World Cup is going to have a lasting effect. ‘There are bound to be studies that come out, or bits of research, 15 minutes after the final whistle of the World Cup final, and say there are only seven more children in Europe playing rugby than there were on Tuesday,’ he jokes. Flats talks to Sportsmail's Jonny Singer on arrival at Twickenham at the end of his 'Tour de Flats' England came up short against France in the Six Nations, but their style of play earned plenty of plaudits . ‘But I think what it needs is a concerted effort to make as much noise, constructive noise, about the Rugby World Cup as possible.’ At the heart of the ‘legacy’ debate, as it was with the Olympics, is the discussion over grassroots sport, and it’s something that Flats’ tour has been focused on. ‘We went to a club in Leicester, with Mike Tindall and Ben Kay, and this is a club, with nothing,’ he recounts. ‘They have absolutely nothing. Part of the World Cup legacy is they will receive upgrades to their facilities. Now, at Wasps or Harlequins, that means 5,000 extra seats. For them that means a shower. ‘Not shower rooms. A shower. They don’t have one. All this sort of stuff, that’s the grassroots.’ Of

Summary: Former England prop David 'Flats' Flatman says the 'buzz' around World Cup is growing . Flats says with the right 'constructive noise', competition can build rugby . England will need to play exciting rugby to capture public's imagination . Recalling the likes of Danny Cipriani is a step in the right direction .


More than 1,000 crimes have been created by the Coalition in a frenzy of law-making – including a ban on washing clothes in Trafalgar Square. The legislative splurge is equivalent to introducing a new law for every working day. In the Coalition agreement, the Tories and Lib Dems pledged to roll back Labour’s ‘state intrusion’, promising a bonfire of pointless powers. But research shows the Government has invented 22 ways of criminalising the public every month. The so-called crimes include diving into the Thames without authority, queue-jumping at a Tube station and hogging the middle lane of a motorway. Making it an offence to wash or dry clothes in Parliament or Trafalgar squares was designed to prevent protesters setting up camp at tourist spots. Offenders can be fined £200. Between May 2010 and May 2014 – the latest year for which information is available – ministers created 1,073 offences. During the 13 years Labour was in power, 4,300 offences were placed on the statute book – approximately one every day. Meanwhile, other antiquated laws remain in force that are simply baffling. Londoners planning to do some DIY can load timber straight into their car, but under section 54 of the Metropolitan Police Act 1839 it is illegal to carry a plank across a pavement, punishable with a £500 fine. Spring cleaning can also put a person on the wrong side of the law. Section 28 of the Town Police Clauses Act 1847 makes it an offence to beat a carpet in a London street after 8am. Ben Rose, a partner at law firm Hickman & Rose, which carried out the research, said: ‘The law-making machine has become an unstoppable juggernaut.’ More than 1,000 crimes have been created by the Coalition in a frenzy of law-making – including a ban on washing clothes in Trafalgar Square (above) Josie Appleton, of the Manifesto Club, which campaigns against excessive regulation, said: ‘Creating so many trivial crimes brings the law into disrepute.’ The Ministry of Justice said 696 crimes had been removed from the statute books over the four-year period – meaning the net number of new laws was 377. Here are some of the more unusual crimes created since May 2010: . Old crimes still enforceable: .

Summary: Splurge is equivalent to introducing a new law for every working day . Include diving into the Thames without authority and hogging middle lane . Meanwhile other antiquated laws remain in force that are simply baffling .


Vincent Kompany believes that if Manchester City are able to pick up a valuable three points away to rivals Manchester United, then they can help 'rectify' a disappointing season. Manuel Pellegrini's side were given a torrid time by Crystal Palace on Monday night, as their Premier League title hopes were all but dashed and a place in the top two is all they have left to fight for. The City captain admits that the derby game is crucial and believes being the underdogs suits his side. Vincent Kompany (left) believes that a win against rivals Manchester United will help rectify their season . Manuel Pellegrini is under pressure after a disappointing season and could be replaced in the summer . He said: 'A derby is a derby. It doesn't matter what place you are in the league, it's a derby. If anything, it's a good moment to go into a derby. I guess the momentum is a little bit with our neighbours at the moment, but it's the perfect place for us to go and try to rectify what we've had.' With speculation surrounding their manager Pellegrini, it remains to be seen if he'll still be in charge in the summer but Kompany says that a strong finish will be key for them next season. 'My only concern is we get back to our best form,' he added. 'I think it's our general form that we have to improve. I've learnt from the past seasons as well that finishing a season strongly can have an impact on your next season as well. In some funny way, it wasn't even a bad game [against Palace]. Glenn Murray terrorised the Manchester City defence and opened the scoring despite being offside . Kompany and his team-mates talk to referee Michael Oliver after the clearly offside goal was awarded . 'We are demanding with ourselves because we have to win, but you guys saw it. Did they have a shot on goal except for set-pieces? They are definitely a solid team. They are definitely a team who knows how to defend. 'They had a game plan so credit to them but, for us, it wasn't a bad game in comparison with other games that we might have lost. It has a bit of a different feel to it maybe than the result at Burnley. But a team like us needs results.'

A barrister and Oxford University graduate who spent more than two years avoiding paying for his train ticket could be the biggest fare-dodger to be prosecuted, a court heard. Peter Barnett, 43, is said to have caused a loss of £23,000 to Chiltern Railways over a two-and-a-half year period. He travelled from his Oxfordshire home to London Marylebone but pretended to have only gone from Wembley, in north west London. Peter Barnett, 43, is said to have caused a loss of £23,000 to Chiltern Railways over two-and-a-half years . Barnett admits six counts of fraud by false representation between April 2012 and November last year . The Australian-born lawyer argues that he only dodged up to £9,714.40 in fares, claiming the amount should be based on the cost of a weekly ticket, and take into account annual leave. But prosecutor Malachy Pakenham told Westminster Magistrates' Court: 'If it is accepted that the loss was £23,000, this defendant would be convicted of the biggest rail evasion case that has come to the court in the United Kingdom. 'The Crown have reached that figure by a number of rail staff calculating it. 'The train company are experts, not me or my friend and they have calculated it on a basis that if someone commits a fraud like this defendant has committed, you are not allowed to calculate it on the basis of a weekly ticket, you calculate it on a full single fare, of the return for the day, each and every day this defendant travelled over the period without a full price rail ticket'. Barnett admits six counts of fraud by false representation between April 2012 and November last year. Barnett claimed to have travelled from Wembley, in North West London, instead of Thame, Oxfordshire . The scam began to unravel for Barnett when he was stopped by a ticket inspector at Marylebone last November. The Rhodes scholar claimed to have travelled from Wembley, instead of Thame, Oxfordshire, where he and his wife live in a £550,000 five-bedroom detached home. Barnett was sent to the excess fares window but another member of staff became suspicious and decided to contact his supervisor. When he turned his back Barnett ran away, but was apparently overcome with guilt and confessed the next day. An investigation was carried out by British Transport Police, which found the lawyer had dodged fares since April 2012. The lawyer was cautioned for an identical offence in 2010 but continued to break the law, despite his prestigious reputation as the founder of an African children's charity and director of leading think-tank, the Legatum Institute Foundation, aimed at 'promoting prosperity'. A court heard how the barrister got off at London Marylebone (pictured) by tapping out with an Oyster card . It is understood he did so by boarding a train at Haddenham and Thame Parkway without a ticket, and then getting off at Marylebone by simply tapping out with an Oyster card. Because there was no start point to his journey, the automated system charged him the maximum Transport for London fare, which

Summary: Peter Barnett, 43, travelled from Haddenham and Thame to Marylebone . But pretended to have gone from Wembley and tapped out with Oyster card . Deception places him among the ranks of Britain's biggest fare dodgers . Oxford University-educated lawyer has admitted to six counts of fraud .


Marcelo Bosch basked in the gratitude of his team-mates after kicking Saracens into the semi-finals of the Champions Cup in dramatic scenes in north Paris. Bosch, striking the ball into a strong wind, landed a 55-metre penalty in the final act of the last eight showdown against Racing Metro to snatch a 12-11 victory at the Stade Yves-Du-Manoir. It completed a scarcely believable win given Saracens had been battered for most of the match only to display remarkable tenacity and set up a semi-final appointment with Clermont in St Etienne in two weeks. Marcelo Bosch kicks the winning penalty as Saracens beat Racing Metro 12-11 . Bosch is mobbed by his team-mates after scoring the kick that won his team the game . Saracens director of rugby Mark McCall admitted he was surprised to see Bosch taking the penalty . 'With kicks like this you're either the hero of the day or the bad guy, so I'm happy that it went my way. I just stayed relaxed and fortunately it went through the posts,' Bosch, 31, said. 'Sometimes they ask me if I'm keen to take the long-range kicks and because of the wind it was not a good distance for the other kickers. I said 'why not? I can take it' and the rest is history. 'The last time I did a kick like that was when I was 21 and playing for an amateur club in Argentina. It was from more or less the same range against our classico rivals. 'It was a great memory for me, but it was a long time ago. I tried to be as relaxed as possible because we had the wind in our face and I didn't want to force it. 'It was the last minute of the game so I was tired and tried not to think about what it represented.' Bosch also executed a try-saving tackle on Racing wing Juan Imhoff when all his Argentina team-mate had to do was fall over the line for a potentially decisive final-quarter try. 'Juan is a real player. He's like a striker - always smelling the goal. I followed him and fortunately stopped him from scoring at the end,' Bosch said. Until Bosch delivered the knockout blow - referee Nigel Owens awarded the penalty with 10 seconds left on the clock - a full blooded quarter-final that was often a poor spectacle appeared to be destined for a home win. Saracens fly-half Charlie Hodgson kicked one penalty and full-back Alex Goode supplied six points to keep the match favourites in sight. Two second-half penalties from scrum-half Maxime Machenaud, who also crossed for the game's solitary try in the 27th minute, placed Racing in control that the Parisians only relinquished as Owens was preparing to blow for full time. 'I was surprised to see it was Bosch taking it because I though it was in Alex Goode's range,' Saracens director of rugby Mark McCall said. 'But the wind was very strong, so it was Bosch's range. He had the nerve and balls to say he wanted

Summary: Marcelo Bosch secured a 12-11 win for Saracens against Racing Metro . Saracens struggled for most of the Champions Cup quarter-final . But Bosch's huge penalty conversion saw them make the semi-final .


Mercedes motorsport boss Toto Wolff believes Nico Rosberg was back to his best in Sunday's Bahrain Grand Prix. Rosberg has again found himself playing second fiddle to Hamilton so far this season, which has led to many questioning his character and ability. Although Rosberg could only finish third behind Hamilton and Ferrari star Kimi Raikkonen at the Bahrain International Circuit, he proved over the course of the race he still has what it takes. Nico Rosberg duels for position with the Ferrari of Sebastian Vettel during Sunday's race in Bahrain . Lewis Hamilton sprays Rosberg with champagne after the Briton secured his third win in four races this term . 1. Lewis Hamilton (Britain) Mercedes 93 . 2. Nico Rosberg (Germany) Mercedes 66 . 3. Sebastian Vettel (Germany) Ferrari 65 . 4. Kimi Raikkonen (Finland) Ferrari 42 . Rosberg conjured three superb overtaking manoeuvres, one on Raikkonen and two on the Finn's Ferrari team-mate Sebastian Vettel. A delighted Wolff said: 'Everybody who ever doubted Nico saw Nico at his best, fighting hard and overtaking. 'We are four races into the season and there are another 15 left, so I have no doubt after his driving in Bahrain, which was exceptional, we will have a very strong Nico bouncing back in Barcelona (for the Spanish Grand Prix).' Rosberg is already 27 points adrift of Mercedes team-mate Hamilton in the battle for this season's title . Rosberg dices with Kimi Raikkonen . Asked as to what is required of Rosberg to overcome an in-form Hamilton, Wolff replied: 'To qualify on pole and control the race from there. 'We saw that Lewis qualifying on pole, running away and being in control of the race was similar to what we had in China. He was the key to scoring maximum points.' A concern for Wolff, however, is the brake failures of Hamilton and Rosberg over the final two laps. For Rosberg, in particular, the brake system in his car failed on the penultimate lap, allowing a charging Raikkonen an easy pass, although it is likely the Finn's pace at that stage would have resulted in him claiming second anyway. As for Hamilton, his brakes gave way on the final lap, but the 30-year-old was able to cross the line 3.3 seconds ahead of Raikkonen. 'We must be happy with one and three, no doubt about it,' added Wolff. 'But Nico losing second place because of a brake failure is a bit of a pity. 'We saw very hot brakes on Nico's car in traffic following Sebastian (Vettel) with lots of hard braking. We monitored that, but with the backmarkers and the lapping cars those brake temperatures went through the roof and we had a brake-by-wire failure on both cars in the same corner - Lewis on the last lap, Nico on the penultimate lap. 'Leading into the last lap it was under hard braking on the straight the temperatures went sky high. When that happens the brake-by-wire switches into a conventional system and then you are without weapons to defend.'

Summary: Nico Rosberg fought his way past Kimi Raikkonen and Sebastian Vettel . He ultimately finished third after his brakes failed in closing stages . The German is now 27 points behind title leader Lewis Hamilton . Hamilton has out-qualified and finished ahead of Rosberg at every race .


A New York City cop checking in on his elderly parents on Friday was horrified to discover them dead along with two other guests in their home. Robert Hugel, who is assigned to the Technical Assistance Response Unit, found the victims, all in their 70s and 80s, just after 3 p.m. at the house in Bellerose in Floral Park, Queens. The New York Post reports that Jerry Hugel, 83, his wife Marianne Hugel, 80, died along with 70-year-old neighbor Gloria Greco, and friend Walter Vondthadden, 76, in an apparent carbon monoxide poisoning, possibly caused by a car left running in a garage. Scroll down for video . Married 60 years: Neighbors say that Jerry and Marrianne Hugel were a happily married couple for 60 years who loved to dance, garden, and observe their German heritage . Cleaning up: Police Department personnel remove one of the bodies from a home where four people were found dead on Friday . It appeared the car was accidentally left running in the garage, but it was unclear for how long, investigators said. Neighbors lined the streets and sidewalks in the suburban neighborhood next to Long Island's Nassau County. Some cried as police officers and firefighters walked around the Cape Cod-style, two-story home. Before police officially identified the victims, neighbor Helga Harter told The Associated Press that the couple was named Jerry Hugel and Marie Hugel, who were in their 80s and had known her for 40 years. 'They were wonderful people,' Harter said through tears as she stood on a street corner, looking at the home. 'They were married for 60 years.' Heartbroken son: Robert Hugel was checking in on his elderly parents on Friday when he found them dead due to apparent carbon monoxide poisoning along with two of their friends . Medical aid: Emergency personnel gather near a home where police say four people were poisoned to death . The Hugels had five children, including son Robert Hugel, a New York Police Department officer who was said to have found his parents lifeless bodies. She described them as a 'great family' very active in the local German community. She last saw them on Wednesday at a Bavarian dancing class they attended together. 'I'm in shock,' Harter said. 'It's the greatest shock of my life.' The Hugels had lived in the home for 40 years, and an elderly woman lived upstairs as their tenant, Harter said. No visible trauma was observed on the victims' bodies, police said. Carbon monoxide, an odorless and colorless gas, is created when some fuels are burned. Hugel was found in the seat of his car in the garage and his wife was found in the room directly next to the garage, reports The New York Post. The scene: Police stand outside the floral park home where four elderly people were found dead and where to windows are now wide open in an attempt to ventilate the apparent fume filled house .

Hillsborough investigators have launched an appeal to track down fans who tended to the wounded as they lay dying on the pitch at the 1989 disaster. Photographs which show the men and woman rushing towards those crushed in the tragedy have been released, with investigators urging anyone who recognises them to come forward. It comes at the request of some of the victims' families, said officials, with officers having been previously unable to identify the individuals in the images. They form part of an ongoing Home Office inquiry aiming to establish whether any individual or organisation was to blame for the disaster which claimed the lives of 96 Liverpool fans. Investigators have released these images of football fans who were pictured carrying the wounded on stretchers and tending to others at the 1989 Hillsborough disaster . Police say the 'unusual' appeal is necessary as those photographed may be able to answer questions of the victims' families . Issued on behalf of the Coroner Sir John Goldring, the people in the photographs may be able to tell victims' families' more about how they died, officials said. Asked why it had taken more than a year to release the images, a spokesman said police had been trying to identify the people in the footage by poring over statements and other CCTV footage. 'It is important to stress that we believe these people can help the Coroner’s inquest process,' said Assistant Commissioner Jon Stoddart of Operation Resolve, the police force set up to look into the disaster. 'I know these pictures are 26 years old but if anyone does recognise the people we need to speak to then I would urge them to get in touch immediately. 'There are still many questions that the families of the 96 have and we believe that these people may be able to provide answers to some of those questions.' Ninety-six people died at the disaster after Liverpool fans in one section of the football grounds became crushed. Previous inquests which recorded conclusions of accidental death were thrown out at the High Court in 2012 after years of campaigning by the families of those killed. The Home Secretary Theresa May launched a fresh probe into the disaster the same year. While the images are not new to the investigation it is the first time they have been shared publicly. They have been released at the request of some of the victims' families with officers having previously been unable to identify the people in the footage despite taking thousands of statements. Investigators hope members of the public may recognise some of those pictured in the appeal released today . While the images are 26 years old, investigators believe they may help track down key witnesses.

My, my. At Waterloo Napoleon did surrender. So go the opening lyrics to Abba's Eurovision winner. But it seems the message hasn't got through to the majority of us. Research has revealed that three out of four people have little or no knowledge about the Battle of Waterloo. Only just over half (53 per cent) know the Duke of Wellington led the British forces, while one in seven believe that it was the French who were victorious in 1815. Veeker's rendering of the battle between Wellington's Anglo-Dutch army and the French: Forty-seven per cent of 2,070 adults polled said they didn't know who led British forces against France in the battle . The survey, by the National Army Museum ahead of the 200th anniversary on June 18, also showed that young people are more likely to associate Waterloo with the London railway station or the Abba song than the actual battle – with one in eight of those aged 18-24 saying they'd never heard of it. Forty-seven per cent of 2,070 adults polled said they didn't know, or they thought the man in charge was either Sir Francis Drake, Sir Winston Churchill, King Arthur or even Harry Potter's wizardry mentor Albus Dumbledore. More than a quarter of all the people polled (28 per cent) have no idea who won the Battle of Waterloo, while one in seven (14 per cent) wrongly believe the French were victorious over the British. Two-thirds (67 per cent) are unaware that June 18th this year is the bicentenary of Waterloo. Now the National Army Museum, together with Waterloo 200 - the organisation approved by the government to support the anniversary - and other cultural organisations, are planning a series of events to bring Waterloo to life . Janice Murray, Director-General at the National Army Museum, said: 'Despite the Battle of Waterloo being an iconic moment in British history, UK public awareness is dramatically low. 'The National Army Museum is seeking to bridge this knowledge gap through the creation of a series of innovative pop-up events and regional exhibitions around the country making the dramatic story of the battle accessible for all.' Abba at the 1974 Eurovision song contest: Young people are more likely to associate Waterloo the Abba song than the actual battle . Young people were also likely to associate the battle with the London Station, with one in eight of those aged 18-24 saying they'd never heard of the battle . The Battle of Waterloo took place on June 18th, 1815, when British and Prussian forces, under the command of Duke of Wellington, halted the advance of French Army in Belgium. The bloody battle claimed the lives of 65,000 of the 200,000 men that took part, and saw the defeat of Napoleon, ending his reign as Emperor of France and ushering in a period of peace following years of war in Europe. The National Army Museum, based in Chelsea, west London, is currently closed for redevelopment. It is due to reopen next year .

Summary: At Waterloo bicentenary, research shows adults know little about the battle . Only just over half polled knew the Duke of Wellington led British forces . One in eight between 18-24 said they had never heard of the famous battle . Young people likely to associate Waterloo with Abba and London station .

'They had their guns drawn,' said Liban to Fox News. 'I don't know why they were so aggressive.' Former police officer, Mylan Masson, who teaches law enforcement at Hennepin Technical College in Minneapolis, says what the officers did appeared wrong. 'It's a threat … it's an illegal, you know, you can't threaten people. And the other thing is you can't break legs. It's not part of the Constitution and it's not part of the laws that we have,' Masson said to CBS News. According to Fox News, the officer who made the threats is called Rod Webber and Minneapolis police confirmed an investigation is underway.

British Olympic chief Bill Sweeney insists the association worked 'really hard' to keep Aaron Cook on board - but the 24-year-old was set on changing his nationality and competing for Moldova at the 2016 Olympics. Dorset-born Cook who was overlooked for the Great Britain taekwondo squad at London 2012, applied for citizenship earlier this month after receiving funding from Moldovan billionaire Igor Iuzefovici and has already received his passport from the small eastern European state. The British Olympic Association (BOA) announced on Thursday morning that they had ratified the 24-year-old's move - issuing a statement to confirm the news. Taekwondo fighter Aaron Cook's application to switch allegiances to Moldova has been approved . Three time European champion Aaron Cook (right) has refused to fight for Great Britain since May 2012 . Cook has felt aggrieved at the decision to leave him out of the 2012 London Olympic squad . 'Following a request from taekwondo athlete Aaron Cook to change his sporting nationality from British to Moldovan, the British Olympic Association (BOA) today announced that Cook's request has been approved,' it read. 'The board of the British Olympic Association met on Monday 13 April 2015 to discuss Aaron Cook's request to change his sporting nationality.' There had been long-standing animosity from Cook towards GB Taekwondo after he felt he had been kept out of the squad for London 2012 because he had decided to quit the British programme in 2011. Lutalo Muhammed was selected instead and won the bronze medal, but Sweeney says the door was open for Cook - who has instead opted to represent Moldova. 'We are very disappointed,' the BOA chief executive told BBC Radio Five. 'He is world number one and Olympic-ranked number two. He is a great athlete... and we are saddened to lose an athlete of that calibre who is British. 'For him to move from his country of birth and home nation to represent another country - we are disappointed. 'I can promise you we have been working really hard not only in recent months but for a long time now, both with Aaron and his representatives and British Taekwondo. It has been well documented that there have been some difficulties in that relationship that go back to pre-2012. 'We have been looking to find a solution where we could broker that deal. We have worked hard to make sure there is a robust and fair selection policy in place. He was the name quota athlete to go to Baku European Games in June but in his mind he feels his best opportunity to get to the Olympic Games in 2016 is with another country.' Cook, who fought for Team GB at Beijing 2008, announced his intention to change nationality in a statement on Facebook at the start of April, saying: 'Although I am upset and disappointed I will not represent my country of birth at another major championships, I felt I had no other option. 'Having received no funding or support from the GB system and financing myself since June 2011, this was not a
