Eric Peterson gets in touch: “I wouldn’t mind Wayne Rooney pulling on an old Everton kit and getting on some podcast to remind Arne Slot, “Easy there, sport. You say that the only thing you and Jurgen Klopp have in common is that you both won the league. That’s not true. You both won the league with Jurgen’s team. Whether you can build a champion of your own is a different question.”
Arne Slot just spoke to Sky, starting with Dominik Szoboszlai at full-back: “He needs to be because that’s what we need. We have our issues, especially in defence. Missing our 2 fullbacks, but Dominic has done that job really well. Last week, Curtis Jones, did his job really well. So that’s the good thing about midfielders, they are usually able to play in more positions than only in the midfields.

Sheffield Wednesday’s three-year stay in the Championship was ended in a cruel final twist of fate by their city rivals Sheffield United after a 2-1 derby defeat at Bramall Lane.
For their city rivals to operate the relegation trap door only added insult to injury as Wednesday’s miserable mathematical fate was confirmed.

Super 8s: England, 146-9, beat Sri Lanka, 95, by 51 runs
Will Jacks scores useful 21 and takes three key wickets
During the first hour of this match the grass banks on each side of the wicket filled both in number and belief. Dot balls set off boisterous celebrations, wickets provoked delirium. An increasingly joyous crowd whooped as England’s batters trooped dolefully to and from the square. Mexican waves rippled around a stadium already – and prematurely as it turned out – in full celebration.
England were restricted to 146 for nine, an innings that revealed a few demons in the pitch and several, it seemed, in their heads. Again England faltered against spin. Jos Buttler remains in a pitiful search of form. Tom Banton was run out seeking a make-believe single, a victim of his own scrambled decision-making. Jacob Bethell, rather than giving himself a few moments to get the measure of Maheesh Theekshana, attacked the spinner’s first ball of the game and sent a leading edge to short third. The crowd delighted in every mis-step. Nothing about England’s innings made their total look remotely defendable. They won, in the end, by 51 runs.

Highly rated councilmember makes last-minute entry after endorsing former ally Karen Bass – can she build a campaign to win?
Nithya Raman, a progressive urban planner, entered Los Angeles politics with a bang when she was elected to city council in 2020, defeating an incumbent Democrat endorsed by Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton.
More than five years on, the 44-year-old is making waves again with her last-minute entry into the LA mayoral race. Raman filed to run just hours before the deadline – after recently endorsing Mayor Karen Bass for re-election – to the surprise of constituents, and political allies and opponents alike.

When I was feeling utterly worn out, a stranger came along to give my kids joy
Read more in the kindness of strangers series
I was completely exhausted. While wrangling two kids aged under three, my husband and I had just moved all the way from the Kimberley to Tasmania. I remember being totally sleep deprived and trying to furnish a new house entirely from op-shops, without a support network around. I was so tired I’d recently driven the car into the fence at home – that’s the level of exhaustion I was dealing with!
We were out doing the groceries when I let the kids sit on those small mechanical rides you find out the front of shopping centres, while I sat down to take a breather. I never actually put any money in to start the rides, because I considered them a waste. When you’ve got little kids, you don’t have much disposable income to splash on silly things like that.

• This week’s question: what would happen to the world if computer said yes?
I’ve always thought it would be good to acquire an old warehouse in every town throughout the land and convert it into low-rent community workspaces for artists, local charities and small businesses getting off the ground. A kind of people’s WeWork. What would others do with a humungous, but not unlimited, pile of dosh to benefit society? Roland Freeman, West Yorkshire

In the world being ushered in by Trump, power will prevail over cooperation. We will come to rue having taken this path
The Canadian prime minister, Mark Carney, inspired a wave of enthusiastic nodding among the cosmopolitan crowd gathered in Davos last month when he took to the podium and proclaimed that the world order underwritten by the United States, which prevailed in the west throughout the postwar era, was over.
The organizing principle that emerged from the ashes of the second world war, that interdependence would promote world peace by knitting nations’ interests together in a drive for common security and prosperity, no longer works. The US blew it up.
