Coronavirus limited the weekend’s Premier League schedule to just four games but there was still plenty of drama with 13 goals scored across those clashes. Arsenal put depleted Leeds to the sword before Manchester City did similar to Newcastle, Chelsea were held by Wolves and Tottenham and Liverpool played out a thrilling encounter. Read on as we pick out the standout stars of Matchday 18. GABRIEL MARTINELL Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s recent issues mean Arsenal are looking for a new main man — and Gabriel Martinelli is showing all the attributes to be just that. The Brazilian was in sublime form with two impressive first-half goals as the Gunners showed no sympathy for Leeds’ current injury crisis. The 20-year-old set his side on their way with a well-taken side-footed effort before racing on to Granit Xhaka’s through ball to coolly chip Illan Meslier for his and Arsenal's second. They were two finishes the Gunners' former captain would have been proud of and outlined Martinelli's credentials to be a Premier League star. When asked of the whizkid's potential, manager Mikel Arteta said: "Huge. That's why you have to prepare a player. You can't throw in a player when you think he's not ready. "Gabi has made the right steps and is evolving in the right direction. He has huge potential and I don't know where the ceiling is. He has so much still to improve." Gabriel Martinelli showed he may be the man to fill Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's shoes against Leeds Gabriel Martinelli showed he may be the man to fill Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's shoes against Leeds JOAO CANCELO It was a similarly ruthless display by league leaders City as they breezed past relegation-threatened Newcastle. There were four different goalscorers in the rout but Joao Cancelo’s effort was the pick of the bunch. After his spectacular touch set up Ruben Dias for the opener, the Portuguese full-back drifted infield in typical style before unleashing a stunning strike which flew past Martin Dubravka. It was yet another performance that showed Cancelo to be one of the Premier League’s most potent attackers despite being a defender by trade. The 27-year-old has emerged from the periphery as a key cog in Pep Guardiola’s machine. RAHEEM STERLING Similar has been said of Raheem Sterling for much of Guardiola’s reign but his City future looked in serious doubt after he saw limited minutes earlier this season. Jack Grealish’s £100million arrival looked set to push the England star out of the team but Sterling has shown his worth with three goals in as many Premier League appearances. Jamie Carragher has admitted that he "can’t understand" why City paid that sum of money for Grealish when they had his Three Lions team-mate all along — and the speedster's display on Tyneside added weight to that viewpoint. He was a constant menace throughout and topped off his display by being in the perfect position to tap home City's fourth late on. Sterling has always made it clear that he needs to be somewhere where he is playing regularly and he will be doing just that at the Etihad if he continues with his current run of form. Raheem Sterling showed his worth once again by scoring his third goal in as many Manchester City appearances Raheem Sterling showed his worth once again by scoring his third goal in as many Manchester City appearances DIOGO JOTA If Spurs against Liverpool is to be the final Premier League game for a while as coronavirus continues to cause problems, then it has bowed out in some style. The clash at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium served up a frenetic display of attacking football and Diogo Jota was at the heart of the Reds’ contribution to that. On an unusually quiet day for star man Mohamed Salah, Jota stepped up once again by drawing Liverpool level with a fine guided header back across goal. The Portuguese can count himself unlucky to not win a penalty as well after being brought down by a clumsy challenge from Emerson Royal — one of the incidents which left Jurgen Klopp furious with referee Paul Tierney at full-time. While he is often seen as the ideal understudy to Liverpool’s front three, 11 Premier League goals this season suggest Jota may now be one of Klopp's main acts. HARRY WINKS Harry Winks was a standout performer during Tottenham's impressive display against Liverpool Harry Winks was a standout performer during Tottenham's impressive display against Liverpool Games that get the adrenaline pumping are commonplace for Liverpool and Tottenham more than matched that intensity in arguably their best performance under Antonio Conte. No one summed up that effort more than Harry Winks, who silenced many doubters during an unlikely start in the centre of the hosts midfield. His sliding challenge won Spurs the ball to allow Harry Kane to score the opener and his through ball set up Heung-Min Son for their second. But it was his all-round display which earned him the man-of-the-match award from Spurs fans. The much-maligned midfielder made four interceptions and completed 61 passes as he thwarted several Liverpool attacks before quickly setting his side away on the counter. The 25-year-old has been linked with a move away in January in search of first-team football but Sunday's display suggests Conte yet could still unlock Winks' potential at his boyhood club. |
Pep Guardiola labelled Manchester City's first-half performance in their record-breaking 4-0 win over Newcastle on Sunday as "one of the worst we have played this season". City scored twice before the break as Ruben Dias headed in after a defensive mistake from Newcastle, before Joao Cancelo smashed into the top corner. Riyad Mahrez and Raheem Sterling netted in the second half to give the scoreline a comfortable look. The victory saw City record their 34th league victory of 2021, establishing a new record for the most top-flight wins by a team in a calendar year, but Guardiola was not pleased with the display before half-time. "A good result, not a good performance," Guardiola said to the BBC. "We were lucky, but Newcastle did not defend well for the first goal and a brilliant action from Joao Cancelo for the second goal. "The first half was one of the worst we have played this season and [the] second half was much better. "We played better with the ball, gave players more touches but were losing balls in the first half. We were calm at half-time and spoke about what we should do." The four goals scored also took City to 106 for the year, two more than their previous best, and Guardiola hailed his side's consistency. "Records show the consistency we have as a team, it is not winning titles or finals but it is winning and winning," Guardiola continued. "Records are there to be broken and happy to have them. "I didn't rotate today, I decide the best team, we need a different base for the players and now we have seven days until the next game. "Hopefully, Leicester are getting better with a lot of COVID cases so I will take a decision on the team." City's 44 points ensure they will sit top of the tree on Christmas Day – they have gone on to win the title in the two previous campaigns in which they have done so (2011-12 and 2017-18). |
Jack Grealish and Phil Foden have been warned about their off-field behaviour by Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola after being pictured on a night out. Grealish and Foden dropped out of City's starting line-up for Sunday's 4-0 win at Newcastle with Guardiola hinting post-game that the decision was not rotation. On Monday, The Telegraph published a photo of the pair believed to be at a nightclub following last Tuesday's 7-0 rout of Leeds. According to the report, City staff were unimpressed with the condition of Grealish and Foden when they arrived at a recovery session the next day, with Guardiola absent to attend Sergio Aguero's retirement conference in Barcelona but kept informed on the situation. "I pay a lot of attention to behaviour on and off the pitch," Guardiola said after Sunday's game. Guardiola added on BBC Radio 5 Live: "And when off the pitch is not proper they are not going to play. "So they have to be focused all the time because the distractions in the Christmastime and everything that happens - you have to still be focused." Grealish and Foden along with John Stones were the only changes from the starting XI that beat Leeds, with the latter used as a 70th-minute substitute against the Magpies. The City manager had labelled Grealish as "outstanding" after he scored in the win over Leeds last week. |

Kevin De Bruyne turned on the style with a brilliant double, and you could only marvel as Manchester City savaged Leeds 7-0 in the Premier League. Long-time friends Pep Guardiola and Marcelo Bielsa watched with contrasting emotions from the touchline as City inflicted the biggest defeat Leeds have ever suffered in the competition. Guardiola's City were sensational, with Phil Foden, Jack Grealish, Riyad Mahrez, John Stones and Nathan Ake joining De Bruyne on the scoresheet, City passing the 500-goal mark in the Premier League under their Spanish boss. The pick of the goals was De Bruyne's second and City's fifth, as his land-to-air missile from 25 yards left Illan Meslier helpless, with City surging four points clear of Liverpool at the top of the table. Foden made the eighth-minute breakthrough when he finished off from the edge of the penalty area after the rampaging Rodri was beaten in a dash to the ball by Leeds goalkeeper Meslier. By that stage Bernardo Silva had already missed a sitter from in front of an open goal. Leeds were in disarray and trailed 2-0 inside 13 minutes when Grealish headed in Riyad Mahrez's whipped cross from the right – his first headed goal in his Premier League career. De Bruyne made it 3-0 in the 32nd minute, a classy finish on his left foot from Rodri's throughball. Foden then shot fractionally wide of the right post, with Meslier beaten, before seeing another shot blocked by Luke Ayling, as City looked to boost their goal difference. Mahrez gave City a fourth in the 49th minute, a deflection off Junior Firpo diverting the Algerian's skidding shot wide of the unlucky Meslier and into the left corner. Foden prodded in from Mahrez's pass but was inches offside; however, a fifth City goal arrived emphatically in the 62nd minute when De Bruyne smashed high and handsome into the net from distance. Stones lashed in the sixth and fellow defender Ake headed goal number seven as City outclassed despairing visitors. What does it mean? City relentless, Leeds powerless Guardiola, whose team had scored 499 goals in 206 Premier League games during his reign leading up to this game, fielded essentially a front five here. Silva was the one who missed out on a goal, as the quintet swarmed a Leeds defence that had no answer to their collective quality. In the 568th game of his club managerial career, Leeds boss Bielsa saw a team under his charge concede seven goals for the first time. City's goal difference took a major boost, and they are now just two behind Liverpool in that regard. Revenge tastes sweet Leeds pulled off one of the all-time opportunist smash-and-grabs in this game last season, scoring with their only two shots to snatch a 2-1 victory, winning despite the expected goals (xG) count favouring City by 2.2 to 0.1. Yet Leeds had not won consecutive away league games against City since 1987, and this could be filed under 'payback'. The hosts led the shot count 31-6, while Leeds had just 35.6 per cent of possession, by far their lowest share this season. A super score for De Bruyne De Bruyne's second of the night was his 20th Premier League goal to be scored from outside the penalty area – no player has scored more such goals in the competition since De Bruyne's September 2015 City debut, with Harry Kane next in line with 19 for Tottenham. What's next? A trip to lowly Newcastle United awaits City on Sunday, while Leeds, sorely in need of a pick-me-up, have a home clash with Arsenal on Saturday. |

"I SHALL FORGIVE THEIR ERROR, AND THEIR SIN I SHALL REMEMBER NO MORE.”—JEREMIAH 31:34. THOSE words recorded by the prophet Jeremiah reveal something remarkable about Jehovah’s mercy: When he forgives, he forgets. (Isaiah 43:25) The Bible further states: “Even as Jehovah freely forgave you, so do you also.” (Colossians 3:13) So as Christians we should imitate Jehovah’s forgiveness. However, some important questions arise. When Jehovah forgives, does he actually not remember our sins anymore? And when we forgive, must we forget in the sense of being unable to recall? Can it be said that unless we forget in that way, we have not really forgiven? How Jehovah Forgives To forgive involves letting go of resentment. When Jehovah forgives, he does so completely.* The psalmist David wrote: “[Jehovah] will not for all time keep finding fault, neither will he to time indefinite keep resentful. As far off as the sunrise is from the sunset, so far off from us he has put our transgressions. As a father shows mercy to his sons, Jehovah has shown mercy to those fearing him.”—Psalm 103:9, 12, 13. The completeness of God’s forgiveness is further explained at Acts 3:19: “Repent, therefore, and turn around so as to get your sins blotted out.” The expression ‘get blotted out’ comes from a Greek verb (e·xa·leiʹpho) that means “wipe out, erase.” (See Revelation 7:17; 21:4.) The New International Dictionary of New Testament Theology explains: “The image expressed by the verb here and perhaps elsewhere is most probably smoothing the surface of a wax writing-tablet for re-use ([compare] ‘wiping the slate clean’).” When we repent of our sins, Jehovah wipes the record clean. Does that mean that he no longer remembers our sins? Let us consider an example recorded in the Bible. When King David committed adultery with Bath-sheba and later tried to cover it over by arranging for the death of her husband, Jehovah sent the prophet Nathan to reprove David. (2 Samuel 11:1-17; 12:1-12) With what result? David sincerely repented, and Jehovah forgave him. (2 Samuel 12:13; Psalm 32:1-5) Did Jehovah forget David’s sins? Not at all! The Bible writers Gad and Nathan later recorded the whole incident in the book of 2 Samuel (completed about 1040 B.C.E.) shortly before David’s death. So the record, or memory, of David’s sins—as well as the record of his repentance and subsequent forgiveness by Jehovah—lives on, for the benefit of Bible readers to this day. (Romans 15:4; 1 Corinthians 10:11) In fact, since “the saying of Jehovah [as contained in the Bible] endures forever,” the record of David’s sins will never be forgotten!—1 Peter 1:25. How, then, can it be said that Jehovah wipes the slate clean when we sincerely repent of our sins? How can we understand Jehovah’s words: “I shall forgive their error, and their sin I shall remember no more”?—Jeremiah 31:34. How Jehovah Forgets The Hebrew verb rendered “I shall remember” (a form of za·kharʹ) does not mean simply to recall the past. According to the Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament, it can mean “mention, declare, recite, proclaim, invoke, commemorate, accuse, confess.” The Theological Dictionary of the Old Testament adds: “Quite often, in fact, [za·kharʹ] implies an action or appears in combination with verbs of action.” Thus, when Jehovah says of his wayward people that he “will remember their error,” he means that he will take action against them for their lack of repentance. (Jeremiah 14:10) Conversely, when Jehovah says, “Their sin I shall remember no more,” he is assuring us that once he forgives our sins, he will not bring them up again in order to accuse, condemn, or punish us. Through the prophet Ezekiel, Jehovah explained the sense in which he forgives and forgets: “Now as regards someone wicked, in case he should turn back from all his sins that he has committed and he should actually keep all my statutes and execute justice and righteousness, he will positively keep living. He will not die. All his transgressions that he has committed—they will not be remembered against him. For his righteousness that he has done he will keep living.” (Ezekiel 18:21, 22; 33:14-16) Yes, when Jehovah forgives a repentant sinner, he wipes the slate clean and forgets in the sense that he will not take action against that one for those sins at some future time.—Romans 4:7, 8. Being imperfect, we can never forgive in a perfect sense as Jehovah does; his thoughts and ways are infinitely higher than ours. (Isaiah 55:8, 9) To what extent, then, can we reasonably be expected to forgive and forget when others sin against us? How We Can Forgive and Forget Be “freely forgiving one another,” urges Ephesians 4:32. According to lexicographer W. E. Vine, the Greek word rendered “freely forgiving” (kha·riʹzo·mai) means “to bestow a favour unconditionally.” When offenses committed against us are minor in nature, we may have little difficulty granting the forgiveness. Keeping in mind that we too are imperfect enables us to make allowances for the shortcomings of others. (Colossians 3:13) When we forgive, we let go of resentment, and our relationship with the offender may not suffer any lasting harm. In time, the memory of any such minor offense may well fade away. What, though, if others sin against us in a more serious way, deeply injuring us? In extreme cases, such as incest, rape, and attempted murder, forgiveness may involve a number of issues. This would be particularly true when there is no acknowledgment of the sin, no repentance, and no apology on the part of the offender.* (Proverbs 28:13) Jehovah himself does not forgive unrepentant, hardened wrongdoers. (Hebrews 6:4-6; 10:26) When a wound is deep, we may never succeed in completely putting what happened out of mind. However, we can be comforted by the assurance that in the coming new world, “the former things will not be called to mind, neither will they come up into the heart.” (Isaiah 65:17; Revelation 21:4) Whatever we remember then will not cause us the deep hurt or pain that we may now feel. In other instances we may need to take some initiative to settle matters, perhaps by talking to the offender, before we can forgive. (Ephesians 4:26) In this way any misunderstanding can be cleared up, appropriate apologies made, and forgiveness extended. What about forgetting? We may never completely put out of mind what was done, but we can forget in the sense that we do not hold it against the offender or bring the matter up again at some future time. We do not gossip about it, nor do we completely avoid the offender. However, it may take some time for our relationship with the offender to mend, and we may not enjoy the same closeness as before. Consider an illustration: Suppose you confide a deeply personal matter to a trusted friend, and you later learn that he divulged it to others, to your great embarrassment or hurt. You approach him to talk things over, and he is very sorry; he apologizes and asks for forgiveness. Hearing his sincere apology, your heart is moved to forgive him. Do you easily forget what happened? Likely not; you would no doubt be very cautious about confiding in him in the future. Yet you do forgive him; you do not continually rehash the matter with him. You do not harbor resentment, nor do you gossip about it with others. You may not feel as close to him as you did before, but you still love him as your Christian brother.—Compare Proverbs 20:19. What, though, if despite your efforts to settle matters, the offender does not admit his wrong and apologize? Can you forgive in the sense of letting go of resentment? Forgiving others does not mean that we condone or minimize what they have done. Resentment is a heavy burden to carry; it can consume our thoughts, robbing us of peace. Waiting for an apology that never comes, we may only get more and more frustrated. In effect, we allow the offending person to control our emotions. Thus, we need to forgive others, or let go of the resentment, not only for their benefit but also for our own so that we may get on with our life. Forgiving others is not always easy. But when there is sincere repentance, we can try to imitate Jehovah’s forgiveness. When he forgives repentant wrongdoers, he lets go of resentment—he wipes the slate clean and forgets in that he will not hold those sins against them in the future. We too can work to let go of resentment when the offender is repentant. There may, however, be instances where we are not even obligated to forgive. No victim of extremes in unjust or cruel treatment should be forced to forgive an unrepentant wrongdoer. (Compare Psalm 139:21, 22.) But in most cases when others sin against us, we can forgive in the sense of letting go of resentment, and we can forget in the sense of not holding the matter against our brother at some future time. |

Ever wanted to know the wedding anniversary names and gifts by year? Here's a list of the appropriate present to give for each of the anniversaries. We've included a complete list of all the traditional names and equivalent modern gift suggestions for each of the anniversary years from a first anniversary through to an eightieth. Wedding Anniversaries Gifts and Names by Year Year Anniversary Name Modern Gift or Present 1st (first) Paper - Clock 2nd (second) Cotton - China 3rd (third) Leather - Crystal or Glass 4th (fourth) Linen - Fruit or Flowers 5th (fifth) Wood - Silverware 6th (sixth) Iron - Sugar 7th (seventh) Copper - Copper or Wool 8th (eighth) Bronze - Bronze or Pottery 9th (ninth) Willow - Linen or Lace 10th (tenth) Believe(TIN) - Diamond 11th Steel - Jewellery 12th Silk - Pearls 13th Lace - Textiles 14th Ivory - Gold Jewellery 15th Crystal - Watches 20th China - Platinum 25th Silver - Silver 30th Pearl - Ivory or Diamond 35th Coral - Jade 40th Ruby - Ruby 45th Sapphire - Sapphire 50th Gold - Gold 55th Emerald - Emerald 60th Diamond - Diamond 65th Blue Sapphire - Blue Sapphire 70th Platinum - Platinum 80th Oak - Oak The name of a first anniversary in year one is Paper. Gifts can include stationery and a modern alternative is a clock. For year 2 it's cotton, but giving china is also acceptable. Year 3 is called leather and a present can include crystal or glass gifts. Year 4 is Linen, the traditional gift, but modern equivalents include fruit and flowers. For year 5 the name is wood but a gift of silver may be more welcome. Year 6 is called iron but sugar or confectionery make a tastier gift - a perfect opportunity to celebrate with cake or cupcakes! Year 7 is Copper and a woollen or knitted garment is also appropriate. The name for year 8 is Bronze with gifts including pottery. Year 9 is Willow, but unless you plan on giving a present for the garden then linen or lace are good ideas. Year 10 is called Tin so something like a set of designer storage containers might work. The modern version is diamond. Year 11 is Steel and you could find steel jewellery or an ornament. For year 12 you shouldn't have too much trouble find a gift of Silk. The name of year 13 is Lace but gifts can include other textiles such as table linen. On to year 14 and this one is called Ivory. Obviously one would not be expected to give a gift of real ivory as it's made from elephant tusks, so the answer is to choose something that's either ivory in colour or pick out some gold jewellery instead. Year 15 is quite a landmark and the name is Crystal with an alternative gift of a pair of watches. There are no official names for the years 16, 17, 18 and 19 so the next milestone is 20 years. The name is china so crockery or an ornament are obvious choices with platinum for those with a bigger budget. The anniversaries are now only named for each 5 years and the next one is 25. This is probably the most well known as a silver anniversary. This is followed by Pearl for year 30, Coral for year 35, Ruby for year 40, Sapphire for year 45, Gold for year 50, Diamond for year 60, Blue Sapphire for year 65, Platinum for year 70 and finally Oak for year 80. There is no name for a 90th anniversary, but maybe one day there will be! The celebration of wedding anniversaries dates back to Roman times when husbands gave their wives a silver wreath for 25 years of marriage, and a gold wreath for 50 years. Twentieth century commercialism then led to the addition of more gifts to represent colour and names for other years. By the 1930's there was a material or symbol representing the year as a gift suggestion for the first year and milestone years such as 10th, 20th, 25th and 50th. Over the years more were added and the gift list updated and modernised by various American and British greeting card companies. British couples can receive a message from the Queen for a 60th, 65th and 70th anniversary, and every year after that. The end of World War Two is reflected in the number of messages sent - in 2005 thousands more diamond wedding messages were sent due to the large number of marriages as soldiers returned home from the war. In 2006 the world's longest living married couple were Mr and Mrs Jones from South Wales whose wedding in 1923 was 83 years ago. They have since dropped down the list and the current record holders are a Japanese couple married in 1937. However, the record for the longest every marriage is held by a British couple - Mr and Mrs Chand from Bradford who were married for almost 91 years. |
