Jamie Carragher pokes fun at Ange Postecoglou with eight-word Tottenham verdict
Ange Postecoglou and Tottenham were riding high after hammering Manchester United last weekend but have been bought back down to earth with a poor loss at BrightonJamie Carragher reminded Ange Postecoglou and Tottenham that "seven days is a long time in football" after they were given a reality check at Brighton. Plaudits flew in after they dismantled Erik ten Hag's troubled side to win 3-0 with a performance that perhaps deserved more goals. Seven days on though and Tottenham showed all that was wrong with them. They breezed into a 2-0 lead at Tottenham with the prolific Brennan Johnson scoring for a sixth straight game. We kind of accepted our fate and it's hard to understand as we've not done that while I've been here.

Israelis gather near Netanyahu's residence as they mark anniversary of October 7 attacks – video
Israelis on 7 October marked the first anniversary of the Hamas attack that triggered a war which has sparked protest worldwide and risks igniting a far wider conflict in the Middle East. Families of hostages still held in Gaza – about 100, a third of whom are said to be dead – gathered near prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Jerusalem residence and stood during a two-minute siren, replicating a custom from Holocaust Remembrance and Memorial Day. The Hamas attacks that day killed 1,200 people and more than 250 were taken hostage, according to Israeli figures. The following Israeli offensive in Gaza laid waste to the densely populated coastal territory and killed almost 42,000 people, according to Palestinian health authorities

Enzo Maresca praises Chelsea's 'spirit' after Nottingham Forest brawl – video
Late drama was sparked in the 1-1 draw between Chelsea and Nottingham Forest at Stamford Bridge when James Ward-Prowse was shown a second yellow for grabbing the ball to stop Nicolas Jackson from running on to a though ball. Things escalated minutes later when Neco Williams clipped the heels of Marc Cucurella as they chased a loose ball to send him flying into the Chelsea manager, Enzo Maresca, in the technical area. The incident prompted about 15 players to push each other and exchange words. Chelsea, who picked up more than six bookings during the match, triggered a charge for failing to control their players. In his post-match press conference, Maresca said: 'I like the team the way they are fighting.'

New York Times Finally Addresses Trump’s Cognitive Decline
It has reached a new bottom such that the venerable New York Times has come under a barrage of fire over its tendency to “sanewash” Trump appearances. The Times writes of Trump making reference to the audience at his dreadful debate with Kamala Harris. In fact, it happens so often these days that it no longer even generates much attention.”True – and it especially doesn’t generate a lot of attention in The New York Times. But it most certainly does matter if Trump takes office again. This is especially true if he’s losing some discipline due to diminished capacity.

'Jose Mourinho rant left me in bits but Solskjaer's hardest pill made me quit Man Utd'
Despite being handed his senior debut by Jose Mourinho at just 16, Gomes needed a harsh reality check to reach his potential. However, Mourinho soon expressed his disappointment with Gomes' performance in a reserve match, leaving the youngster feeling humiliated in front of his team-mates. Solskjaer suggested a loan move, but Gomes felt there was no clear plan for his development at his boyhood club. They wanted me to go on loan but there wasn't really much in place. Gomes felt that after spending his entire life in United's academy, there should have been a clearer plan for his progression.

Times letters: Assisted dying and the limits of palliative care
Write to letters@thetimes.co.ukSir, By the logic of your leading article (“Unintended Consequences”, Oct 5), we must also examine the unintended consequences of keeping the blanket ban on assisted dying. Our present law fails to protect terminally ill people from agony that even the best palliative care cannot prevent. It fails to prevent dying people from taking their own lives. To reject change on assisted dying is to accept that we are satisfied with this status quo. This debate is not only about whether to legalise assisted dying.

Woman, 18, died after six doctors ‘failed to spot her tumours’ on seven occasions & insisted she was ‘under the weather’
A TEENAGER died after six doctors "failed to spot her tumours" seven times - instead insisting she was just "under the weather". The same dismissive response was delivered by six different doctors on seven occasions. I googled Ruby’s symptoms and read about lung cancer cases where a tumour pressing on a vein in the chest can cause swelling. "So even when a child presents with cancer symptoms, they may not think it’s likely to be the disease." She was only diagnosed with advanced adenocarcinoma after she visited a private doctor and died three weeks later.

ON October 28, 1988, Ricky Junior Otto was sentenced to four years in prison aged 20 — the last of his five jail terms. “They had watched me playing football in the gym and realised I had a talent and expressed this in the most incredible way. “After that I became a gym orderly and started to prepare myself mentally and physically for a life after prison. “I had that pinch-me moment where I couldn’t believe I was going to be playing at Wembley.”After Birmingham, Otto played at Charlton, Peterborough and Notts County on loan. Yet in reflection of his extraordinary 56 years, Otto readily admits: “Without a shadow of a doubt, football saved my life.”
