If you could be on any reality TV show, which one would you choose?
MM: I mean, should we just go on Temptation Island together?
NO: OK. No!
MM: I think the real answer would be The Traitors, right? Or Survivor.
NO: I think I would go for Survivor or Alone. But if we wanted to [go on a show] together, then I think The Traitors. But guess what? I don’t want to go up against you on any show.

Alyssia Algeri and her new girlfriend knew they shared a love of music. But everything changed when Elissa started singing Adele’s One and Only

In 2023 I made my regular queer pilgrimage from Melbourne to Sydney to strut the streets at Mardi Gras in flared pink pants. With my best friend in tow we moved through the masses of glittered faces.

We stumbled on a house party – the balcony overflowing with people dancing. Partygoers littered the street below, praising the DJ as they hung from trees and danced on car roofs, waving their rainbow fans in sync with the music.

There’s always a Tottenham exception. Since leaving Siena in 2011, since he got his first break with a club that had a realistic chance of winning trophies, Antonio Conte has won league titles with Juventus, Chelsea and Inter. Going into Sunday’s matches, with three games remaining, his Napoli lead Inter by three points. In a decade and a half he has won a trophy with every club he has managed, apart from Tottenham.

It was a fraught episode that could yet determine Aston Villa’s season. In the final minute of stoppage time, the big screens showed 94 minutes and 13 seconds when Emiliano Martínez made a magnificent save to thwart Antoine Semenyo and Matty Cash ended up crashing into the Villa net to successfully spook the Bournemouth substitute Daniel Jebbison, who headed over from a couple of yards out. Amadou Onana instantly rushed to Cash, grabbing his cheeks by way of congratulations.

Rúben Dias tore into Southampton for what he felt were anti-football tactics, laying bare his frustration after Manchester City were held to a 0-0 draw here. Southampton had just two shots – both off target – and 28% of the ball as they ground out a result that means City are still not assured of a top-five finish and Champions League qualification.
