The girlies joked we needed a bank holiday to coincide with the release of Molly-Mae Hague’s new docu-series. Although, it was said in jest (we think) Molly-Mae: Behind It All’s episode drop has stirred up an undeniable buzz. I am not immune to the Molly-Mae effect and so I was thrilled to devour all 96 minutes in one sitting. Luckily one thing about Molly-Mae is she knows her audience well and so we get what we need from the show. We want to feel like this glamorous woman with an Instagram feed that should be hung in the Louvre is…

An unexciting but successful reveal (YouTube) GameCentral muses over the long-awaited Nintendo Switch 2 teaser trailer and tries to decide whether it was a disappointment or a finely judged annoucement event. So now the Nintendo Switch 2 has been officially unveiled, and we know that all the rumours were true. For those that have been following the news they will have learnt nothing new from the reveal trailer on Thursday, apart from the existence of Mario Kart 9. But for more casual customers – who are always Nintendo’s primary concern – it was an effective, if clinical illustration of…

Short but goodSo I think the Switch 2 reveal was good. I know some people were disappointed it was too short, and only showed one game, but there was never any chance it was going to show many games. We knew that going in and I think as an introduction to Switch 2 it worked fine. Everyone in my office watched it and they all seemed to be impressed and intrigued. None of them had any idea it was on the way but a few then realised how long it had been since the first one had come out…

Right wing protesters and cabinet ministers in Israel on Thursday voiced disapproval for ceasefire deal with Gaza while crowds in Tel Aviv gathered to support the deal and urge a swift release of Israeli hostages held by Hamas Mixed reactions in Israel to Gaza ceasefire deal

Fifteen months after a Hamas-led terrorist attack in southern Israel triggered the unprecedented Israeli bombardment and ground campaign that has laid waste to Gaza, a way out of the conflict may be in sight. The human cost has been devastating: a Palestinian death toll close to 45,000, according to local authorities; more than 1,000 Israeli fatalities from the October 7, 2023, assault. The EU watched from the sidelines as the US, Egypt and Qatar mediated a three-phase ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas that could come into effect on Sunday, seeing 33 Israeli hostages in Gaza released in exchange for…

Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has issued a statement after claiming that a photo of himself alongside a rapper is set to be published by a British tabloid newspaper. The image has not been published as of 7pm on Thursday evening but the reference to Jimmy Mizen in Rashford’s statement suggests that the rapper in the photo is UK drill artist TEN, whose real name is Jake Fahri – a 35-year-old who was jailed for life with a minimum term of 14 years in 2009 for Mizen’s murder. Fahri, then 19, threw an oven dish at Mizen which shattered and…

Neil Robertson working on ‘scary snooker that you can’t stop’ despite Masters loss Neil Robertson feels his game is in brilliant shape and is close to playing ‘scary snooker that you can’t stop’ despite a Masters defeat at the hands of Shaun Murphy. The Australian did play well in a 6-2 defeat to the Magician, who was in fantastic form, winning the match with a break of 120, snookering himself on the yellow in a bid for a 147. Robertson made breaks of 108, 79 and even a 66 in the fifth frame which he lost and only saw positives…

Shaun Murphy credits former world champion for bringing back his belief Shaun Murphy feels his link-up with former world champion Peter Ebdon has helped bring back his self-belief, as he soars into the semi-finals at the Masters. The Magician was in excellent form on Thursday as he beat Neil Robertson 6-2 at Alexandra Palace to book his spot in the final four. It nearly ended in perfect fashion as he potted 15 reds and blacks in the eighth frame before snookering himself on the yellow and ending his hopes of a first Triple Crown 147. It was an excellent…

Paul Scholes tells Man Utd fans not to worry if ‘scruffy’ £70m star is sold Paul Scholes believes Manchester United supporters should not worry if the club decide to sell Alejandro Garnacho. Napoli have identified Garnacho as their first-choice replacement for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who is set to join Paris Saint-Germain in a €70 million (£58.9m) deal. United are holding out for a £70m fee for Garnacho, however, Napoli are looking to secure a deal closer to €50m (£42.1m). The Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules could also force United to listen to offers for Kobbie Mainoo, with the England…

Ally McCoist says £58m Man Utd star was ‘smashed to smithereens’ by Southampton Ally McCoist says Leny Yoro was ‘smashed to smithereens’ during Manchester United’s comeback victory against Southampton on Thursday night. Ruben Amorim’s side were staring down the barrel of another defeat after Manuel Ugarte’s own goal gave Southampton a deserved lead shortly before half time. But a late hat-trick from Amad Diallo salvaged a 3-1 win for United, who move into 12th place in the Premier League. Yoro, meanwhile, endured a difficult evening at Old Trafford as United’s £58 million signing struggled to get to grips with Southampton’s…
