Luckily, today is about the fun, so everybody can slowly unclench. The Suicide Squad director and Peacemaker series creator just posted an extended gag reel from the show, and it’s an oddly cathartic look into the often uncontrollable laughter happening just offscreen during the uncontrollable laughter from those watching the screen. Not only does Gunn himself demonstrate the undeniably jovial atmosphere behind the scenes of HBO Max’s Peacemaker, but this little clip show of his also gives some normally stoic faces a chance to really let loose....

The move is subject to Morata agreeing personal terms on a five-year contract and completing a medical and is reported to be worth in the region of £70million.

An external review conducted by barrister Charles Geekie QC was published on Tuesday and details shocking grooming and abuse of boys aged 10 to 17 by Chelsea’s former chief scout Eddie Heath. Heath died in December 1983, aged 54, and the report states that, as far as investigators could determine, he “was never investigated for, or charged with any, offences during his lifetime”. Evidence from 23 witnesses paints a grim picture of the historic abuse, and Chelsea’s current board said in a statement: “The board wishes to thank all the survivors and witnesses who came forward to assist the reviews and the club apologises unreservedly for the terrible past experiences of some of our former players....

The two sets of fans clashed in extra time of that encounter, which West Ham won 2-1, with seven fans arrested after bottles, chairs and coins were thrown.

Antonio Conte is subsequently hopeful that the London derby will go off without a hitch, with all of the focus trained on the events on the pitch....

The 19-year-old finished as the second highest goalscorer in the Championship with 23 goals, becoming the highest scoring teenager in the competition.

Only Matthew Hill and Cole Skuse had previously won the Player and Young Player awards in the same season, but no previous player had picked up all three trophies in the same campaign....

The 26-year-old Frenchman, who joined champions Chelsea from last year’s title winners Leicester City in July, has already been named Player of the Year by the Football Writers Association and the Professional Footballers Association.

How this debate is finally settled (by future events, not argument) hinges heavily on one of the economy’s central mysteries: productivity. In theory, it’s simple. Productivity signifies efficiency. Suppose the economy produces 100 widgets a year with 100 workers; the next year, the same 100 workers produce 103 widgets. Labor productivity has risen 3 percent. Living standards, wages and profits all depend on productivity. Throughout history, new technologies (from steel to telephones), better management and more-skilled workers have generated huge gains in productivity and income....

Cardiff looked sharp early on and Chelsea’s nervy start to the game resulted in the Bluebirds taking the obvious route to break the deadlock. Sean Morrison leapt highest to guide a header on to the path of Sol Bamba, who sneaked in behind Jorginho, to pounce on the ball at the end of a well-worked set-piece routine. The visitors were able to establish an early lead but Chelsea got back to their stride very soon and it took two stunning saves from Neil Etheridge to prevent Mateo Kovacic from restoring parity between the two sides....

Persistence pays : The most important lesson that any team in the world can learn from Chelsea‘s campaigns is that of persistence.
