The trial of Marieha Hussain is a deeply shameful chapter in the state’s ongoing attempted suppression of pro-Palestinian peace activists. A grave injustice has been avoided with her not guilty verdict. Marieha Hussain, 37, a teacher from High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire denied the charge at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Friday. She carried a picture showing the faces of the then Prime Minister and Home Secretary superimposed on coconuts under a palm tree in November 2023. Her defence said the placard was not racist, but satirical and humorous. A major blow for the Government Ms Hussain’s defence described the decision to bring…

Arsenal are preparing for a battle to keep Takehiro Tomiyasu and have set their asking price amid interest for the defender. Arsenal’s solid start to the new Premier League season has been predicated on their impregnable defence, with Mikel Arteta’s side conceding just one goal in their first four games. The Gunners boosted their defensive options further in the summer window with the £42million signing of Riccardo Calafiori, although the Italian is yet to make his first start for the club. Tomiyasu, however, has not been seen in Arteta’s back four so far this season as he continues his rehabilitation…

Paul Merson has warned Arsenal central defenders Gabriel Magalhaes and William Saliba they cannot afford to fall asleep for a second in Sunday’s summit meeting against Manchester City.

Arsenal took four points of the champions last term and kept clean sheets in both Premier League fixtures against Pep Guardiola’s relentless winning machine. Mikel Arteta’s men were, however, criticised and accused of playing for the goalless draw they secured during the run-in last term but are likely to employ similar…

David Moyes has been linked with a remarkable move for his next role after his agent put him forward for the AC Milan job. The Scot has been out of work since leaving West Ham at the end of last season but it seems like he has no plans to head into retirement just yet. The 61-year-old has been linked with a return to former club Everton if Sean Dyche loses his job in the near future, but he fancies a more glamorous role than Goodison Park. Italian publication Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Moyes’ name has been put forward…

Crystal Palace youngster Samuel Lusale appears to have confirmed his impending move to Premier League rivals Manchester United. Palace bosses had high hopes for Lusale as he rose through the club’s academy ranks but the 17-year-old rejected the offer of a scholarship deal at Selhurst Park earlier this summer. The teenage winger had been with Palace since the age of just 13 and was involved in Palace’s FA Youth Cup squad last season. With regulations imposed by Brexit blocking English teams from signing youngsters from overseas, United’s new-look hierarchy – driven by co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and sporting director Dan…

Sean Dyche has addressed Everton’s lengthy injury list ahead of their trip to Leicester City in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon. It’s been a disastrous start to the season for the Toffees as they sit bottom of the table with four defeats from four league games. Losses to Brighton, Tottenham, Bournemouth and Aston Villa have seen Dyche’s side score four goals but concede a mammoth 13! Everton’s only win has come over Doncaster Rovers in the Carabao Cup, but they have now been eliminated from that competition after a penalty shootout loss to Southampton on Tuesday night. A number…
