now seek a helping hand

LONDON Tottenham Hotspur remained a worrying presence in Chelsea's rearview mirror after a second successive 4 0 victory cut the gap in the Premier League title race to four points on Saturday.

Bournemouth became the 12th consecutive side to leave White Hart Lane empty handed as Harry Kane hit the 20 league goal mark for the third season in a row with his side's third.

"We got the three points and fake hermes belt price now the pressure is on Chelsea to win in Old Trafford," Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino said. "It would be fantastic if tomorrow night, after the game, the gap is still four points. But four points is still a lot."

With only two of their last six matches at home Tottenham are still rank outsiders to snatch a first title since 1961.

Manchester City moved above Liverpool into third after they registered an impressive 3 0 win away at Southampton, with captain Vincent Kompany on the scoresheet.

Kompany's impassioned celebration, following his 55th minute opener, told the story of what has been two injury hit seasons for the inspirational Belgian defender.

"I don't really complain about what's happened to me, I just carry on," Kompany, whose goal was his first since August 2015, told BT Sport.

"When this happens I feel I'm giving something back Hermes belt replica france to the fans. I'm finally giving something back to the team and that's what you see in that moment."

Leroy Sane and Sergio Aguero with his 11th goal in 11 games in all competitions were also on the scoresheet.

In the title run in, Chelsea must still also visit Everton who racked up an eighth successive home win when beating replica Hermes belt france Burnley 3 1 to move above Arsenal and United into fifth, albeit having played more games than the teams around them.

Premier League top scorer Romelu Lukaku struck Everton's third, taking his season tally to 24.

There was little movement in the relegation battle with none of the clubs in the bottom six managing a win.

Bottom club Sunderland scored their first goal in eight games as Fabio Borini's late equalizer earned them a 2 2 draw at home to West Ham United which left them nine points behind 17th placed Hull City who lost 3 1 at Stoke City.

Second from bottom Middlesbrough host seventh placed Arsenal on Monday while 18th placed Swansea City slumped to a fifth defeat in six matches in a 1 0 loss at Watford.

Swansea remain two points behind Hull while Crystal Palace, who battled back from two down to draw 2 2 at home to champions Leicester City, are seven points above the relegation trapdoor.

Bournemouth are still looking over their shoulders, although they also have a seven point cushion.

Since losing to Liverpool on Feb. 11 Tottenham have won seven games in a row their best top flight sequence for 50 years scoring 22 and leaking only four.

A week after beating Watford 4 0, having also kicked off before Chelsea, they produced another display oozing confidence with Mousa Dembele and Son Heung Min scoring inside the first 20 minutes and Kane striking just after halftime.

Kane is the fourth player to score 20 or more goals in the Premier League three seasons in a row, joining Thierry Henry, Alan Shearer and Ruud van Nistelrooy.

"Sometimes it's good to play first. Early kick off, get the three points and then we can enjoy our Easter weekend and see what happens tomorrow," Kane said.

"Hopefully Man Utd can get a result for us."

Three days before taking on Atletico Madrid in their Champions League quarter final, seeking to overturn a 1 0 deficit from the first leg, Leicester were involved in a rip roaring duel at Selhurst Park.

Goals by Robert Huth and Jamie Vardy put them 2 0 ahead but Palace hit back through Yohan hermes men belt replica Cabaye and Christian Benteke.

raised filmmaker's pitch wows festival judges

It's amazing how a film festival that isn't star driven can generate such excitement, reflected again in its huge opening weekend attendance.

Monday's sold out screening of the Irish animated adventure Song of the Sea, repeating Saturday at Star Cinema, was one of many that have drawn capacity crowds so far.

Other sellouts included Gone South, National Gallery and Clouds of Sils Maria. (Note: A limited number of unclaimed tickets allotted to passholders can become available at showtime, even at sold out shows.)

Vancouver based filmmaker Mary Galloway's excitement was palpable after she was awarded $35,000 to develop her short film Ariel Unraveling.

Galloway and four other finalists were given 10 minutes each to pitch their project to a panel of four judges during the inaugural BravoFACT Pitch Contest, with pitching pioneer Pat Ferns presiding.

READ MORE Victoria Film Festival

"When she got the result she was out of her chair and shrieking in the arms of her mentor," said Ferns, adding that in his 30 years of hearing pitches, this year's was the highest quality he has heard yet in Victoria.

"What was compelling was that while we liked her project on paper, it really came alive when she pitched it. I think it married her passion with experience from very good mentors."

The young aboriginal filmmaker is being mentored by producer Patrick Sabongui and director Carmen Moore.

"Her strength is she's dealing with a hot issue subject told in a very innovative and compelling manner," Ferns said.

Qualicum Beach raised Galloway says she was inspired by the lack of substantial roles for women, something she noticed after graduating from acting school. "I felt underwhelmed because they lack the layered personalities lots of women have," she said. "They tend to be for sex appeal, or as the love interest, so I decided to write my own."

Her story focuses on Arielle, a girl locked in her basement for 10 years by her drug addicted mother, with only her The Little Mermaid DVD for entertainment.

"It becomes her basis for what's going on outside in the real world," says Galloway, whose heroine gets to set foot in "the real world for the first time" when fate intervenes.

Arielle's world view comes alive through animated sequences. Her character regards a fork, for instance, as a "valuable treasure" used to comb her hair.

Galloway developed the concept after she moved to Vancouver and had a wake up call about "how scary the world can be." She said the fairy tales she grew up with didn't prepare her for that.

"They taught me that when I grow up, I'm going to find my Prince Charming, and he's going to rescue me and we'll live happily ever."

Brigitte Pogonet, star of Autrui (The Altruist), took the words out of my mouth when she described iconic Quebec actress and filmmaker Micheline Lanctot's directorial style as "uncompromising" after her film's Canadian premire.

Pogonet plays Lucie, an unfulfilled young woman whose life changing experience after taking in Eloi (Robin Aubert), a brutish homeless man, propels the powerful and affecting drama that defies expectations.

"She's a director with good instincts a really brilliant woman. It was such a privilege to work with her," said Pogonet, whose experience with the material was having helped feed homeless people in her youth.

Aubert was so convincing as the bearded, grunting and filthy alcoholic Lucie tries to help that he was mistaken for a real vagrant during shooting in Montreal, Pogonet said.

When Aubert sat down in front of a storefront during a break, the shopkeeper asked him to move along, she recalled.

"He had to face out so his back was to people and they were not looking at him."

Pogonet was part of the lively, chatty Quebec contingent here to present an expanded version of La Tourne du Cinema Qubcois, programmed by Francois Lemieux.

"This is the fun part for us, because directors and actors get to meet the audience," said Lemieux, who, after bringing Quebec films here each year for Victoria's francophone community, felt it was time to expand. "It was time for us to open the window more, and partnering with the festival gave us the chance to bring five movies for the first time."

Others are Denys Arcand's An Eye for Beauty; Martin Talbot's Henri, Henri; Denis Cote's Joy of Man's Desiring; and Stranger in a Cab, Patrick Gaze's film about a Montreal cab driver who gets a new lease on life.

"We make films to show them," said Gaze during a reception at the Union Club.

While Quebec cinema is flourishing, with films such as Xavier Dolan's Mommy attracting international attention, the province isn't immune to industry wide economic challenges, Gaze said. "Even with successes like [Denis] Villeneuve and [Jean Marc] Valle pulling everyone in, it's hard for all the others," he said. "There are fewer people overall going to see Quebec films, even in Quebec."

One For Arthur becomes a Grand National treasure for Scotland

One For Arthur, an eight year old trained in Kinross, proved to be one for Scotland when he out jumped and outstayed his 39 rivals to win the 170thRandox Health Grand National at Aintree. Backed by Arthurs across Britain and most of Scotland, he was sent off at 14 1.

He was ridden by Derek Fox, who only returned to action this week less than a month after fracturing his wrist.

His trainer Lucinda Russell becomes the fourth woman to train a National winner; she was assisted by herpartner, the former Champion jockey Peter Scudamore.

One For Arthur struggled to go the strong pace for the first mile but he finished like a train. At one stage he was 20 lengths back behind the pace setting Rogue Angel but he steadily crept into the contest helped by some superb jumping.

With one of the favourites Definitely Red, hampered at Becher's first time and pulled up at Valentines, it was the other popular horse in the betting, , the 8 1 favourite, who slipped five lengths clear of the field three out under Noel Fehily apparently full of running. Favourite backers must have been counting their money.

They swamped him at the second last and Fox sent One For Arthur to the front a few strides out from the last. There another superb leap gave him just the head start he wanted over Cause of Causes, ridden by the outstanding Irish amateur jockey Jamie Codd.

From there on up the two furlong run in One For Arthur, driven out by Fox, never looked like surrendering his lead and he came home to collect the 560,000 first prize four and a half lengths ahead of Cause of Causes to become only the second ever Scottish winner of the race. The first was Rubstic in 1979.

Saint Are stayed on late to take third and take a place in the National two years after finishing second to Many Clouds. was fourth.

With jockeys under strict instruction to dismount after the line and lead their horses to a special cool down area for a drink and to be hosed down, Fox was escorted back to the winner's enclosure on his feet. One of the biggest cheers was when, in front of the stands, he got a huge hug from his trainer.

Russell, 50, whose accommodation at the meeting was her camper van in the horsebox park rather than the Aldephi Hotel, described it as a dream come true.

"There'll be a big party at Kinross," she said. "I'm just delighted for Derek he's a big part of our set up. We missed him when he was at Jack Berry House (the Injured Jockeys' Fund's northern rehabilitation centre.)

She added: "I wasn't too worried about the ground. I had a quiet moment with him before the race. I was looking at him and thought you're tall and light framed you'll be alright. He was a bit out paced early but he's done really well.

"Derek is really good at holding them up but sometimes he's criticised for being too far back but he wasn't today. He's only 24. He didn't get flustered he's got a great attitude.

"I'm delighted for Scotland, the two girls love racing, they put their money back into Scotland but we won't mention the SNP, please!"

The Sligo born Fox, who learned to be a jockey with his uncle Mark McNiff, joined Russell with the promise of nothing when he lost his 5lb claim in Ireland. But after some early success for her he was promoted to first jockey when Peter Buchanan retired.

In pre Jack Berry House days he would have missed the race though injury after breaking his wrist and collar bone at Carlisle on March 9 but the physiotherapists there got him back with three days to spare.

Peter Scuadmore, a sounding board for the trainer and jockey who was wearing his father's lucky tie, said: "I was worried about the ground. If you'd said to be an hour before 'you could take him home now because the ground is too fast' he have been on thelorry.

"Sometimes loyalty is still a great thing and I was very pleased we stuck by Derek and he won the National. I don't like the word small but we're not from one of the more fashionable places. Sometimes this race throws up fairy tales and this is one of them."

In all 19 finished with Katie Walsh, the only female riding in the race, bringing up the rear on . Her horse was never quite able to get competitive.

For the fourth year in succession all horses came back safe and sound. On that score, just as the winner of this year's National will be seen as a good result, so will the fact that not one horse was lost over the three days of this year's meeting.

woman's death prompts new concerns about severe peanut allergies

Coroner Michel Miron determined that Christina suffered a severe asthma attack after love bracelet cartier replica smoking pot, spending hours in a room with people smoking, and having what the coroner called "intense physical activity" with her boyfriend.

Christina was known to have severe asthma attacks, and had needed urgent medical care for asthma at least twice in the past six months.

According to Dr. McCusker, head of cartier love rose gold bracelet replica pediatric allergy, immunology and dermatology at the Montreal's Children Hospital, in the years since Desforges' death researchers have studied how long peanut allergens can remain in a person's saliva.

Studies show peanut allergens can last in a mouth for about four hours, and perhaps as little as half an hour if a person brushes their teeth.

"They're spending less time under the watchful eye of their parents. They're taking a few more risks and they're not as likely to be carrying their Epipens," said Dr. McCusker.

"The second risk factor is the delay in getting epinephrine."

It only takes minutes for a person with a severe allergic reaction to stop breathing, and by that time it may be too late for an epinephrine shot best replica cartier love bracelet reviews to work

Who won in the battle of the gowns on the red carpet

It's as much about the dresses as it is about the movies. And the stars made sure to be noticed as they walked the red carpet at the 83rd Academy Awards.

But there were two distinct camps in terms of style vibrant, eye popping reds from Valentino and Versace, and shimmering ethereal nudes by Marchesa and Monique L'Hullier.

And while black remained a popular choice, there were some surprises from Cate Blanchett who wore an opinion dividing lavender Givenchy haute couture gown with yellow embellishment, and an unusual fake cartier love bracelet purple burgundy hue seen on both Natalie Portman, in Rodarte, and Scarlett Johansson in Dolce Gabbana.

Scarlet women: Jennifer Lawrence went for minimalist Calvin Klein (left) while Penelope Cruz showed off an impressive post pregnancy body in L'Wren Scott (centre). Both wore Chopard jewellery. Sandra Bullock's beautifully cut Vera Wang gown looked refined and elegant, letting the statement hue do the talking (right)

Amy Adams's shimmering navy column by

Mick Jagger's designer fiancee L'Wren Scott was a highlight. It was the

same name behind Penelope Cruz's showstopping scarlet gown, cementing the emerging label's status as a red carpet favourite.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Jennifer Lawrence both channelled the minimalist look in Calvin Klein. Lawrence's super simple red number was made bespoke by the label's designer Francisco Costa, while Paltrow's waterfall of silver showed off her slender frame.

It was a quiet statement compared with the bustled creations worn by Anne Hathaway, Jennifer Hudson, and Sandra Bullock, who all went for the same traffic stopping red.

They all went for a similar

full skirted silhouette, too Hudson's Versace creation was so

dramatic, she needed a man to carry her train as she walked the red

carpet. Hathaway could be seen posing cartier love bracelet solid gold replica on the red carpet with the

designer of her gown Mr Valentino himself while the restrained cut

of Sandra Bullock's Vera Wang let the colour make the statement.

Hue's in charge: Though the newly slim actress chose a bold tangerine colour, replica cartier pink gold love bracelet and purple platform heels, neither clashed with the red carpet

Owner of ferry in NYC crash seeking to limit liability to

The Seastreak Wall Street, which slammed hard into a New York pier last week, was valued at $7.6 million. And if its owners are successful, that would be the total amount of liability they would face in any personal injury lawsuits likely to be filed by passengers injured in the accident.

Seastreak LLC sought the protection in federal court in Newark today, in a petition also requesting that all claims against the company be consolidated in one venue.

Meanwhile, the National Transportation Safety Board, which is investigating the crash, said yesterday that it found damage to the ferry port propeller. It did not indicate whether the damage contributed to the crash, or resulted from it.

Investigators said they also tested the ferry steering systems on Friday and found no problems.

The Seastreak Wall Street, a high speed catamaran that provides regular commuter service between New Jersey and lower Manhattan, had been on its second run of the morning on Jan. 9 when something went wrong.

Traveling from Highlands in Monmouth County to New York with 326 people on board, the boat passed the Statue of Liberty and made what seemed to be a routine approach to Pier 11, before it suddenly slammed into a concrete slip.

Many people, waiting on stairways to disembark, were thrown forward by the impact. About 70 passengers were injured, 11 of them seriously. The captain, in interviews with the NTSB, said the ferry controls and engines failed as he tried to dock.

Records show the 140 foot boat, which entered service in September 2003, underwent a major refit last summer. Its jet drive propulsion system was replaced with new engines, rudders and variable pitch propellers. The modifications reduced the vessel overall weight and reduced its top speed from 38 knots to 35 knots, but increased its fuel economy and lowered its cost of operation. Coast Guard personnel who inspected the ferry in July 2012 after the modifications were completed. It noted the modifications were found to be satisfactory and the vessel was given a temporary certificate of inspection.

In today's update, the NTSB said classic hermes bags fake the manufacturer of the ferry engines was able to download alarm and other data stored on computer control modules in each of the two engine compartments for analysis. Investigators also retrieved video from several onboard cameras, which is being examined.

An underwater survey of the vessel revealed the damage to the port propeller. A more complete how much is a hermes handbag hull survey will be conducted when the boat is hauled from the water for repairs. Army Corps of Engineers will also conduct a bottom survey of the approach to Pier 11, to determine if there are any underwater approach obstructions.

Thomas Wynne, a spokesman for Seastreak, said the company began receiving letters from attorneys representing several passengers as soon as the day of the accident, indicating they planned to file for damages.

understandable. There were more than 300 passengers and some of them were hurt, he said. District Court, he said, was made to create a single proceeding for any claims that are filed.

our intention to deal directly with passengers where we can, but this filing allows us to consolidate all the proceedings that will end in litigation, Wynne said.

The Different hermes bag fake filing, though, also sought a so called of liability.

It fake hermes leather handbags petitioned the court for exoneration from any liability from injuries sustained by passengers, while claiming that damages actually awarded against the company through litigation be limited to the value of the ferry at the time of the accident. That value, in the filing, was set at $7.6 million.

Experts in maritime law say such petitions are common. The law allows shipowners who may be facing hundreds of lawsuits to petition the court for a consolidation order, bringing everyone into a single forum, while setting a deadline for anyone to file claims, said attorney Ronald Betancourt of Betancourt, Van Hemmen, Greco Kenyon in Red Bank.

is a preemptive strike, he said.

But the statute, which dates back to the 1800s, wsa originally meant to protect shipowners during the age of sail. It limits a ship owner liability in an accident to the value of the vessel at the end of the voyage but only if it can be shown that the incident happened without the knowledge of the owner.

got a valuation certificate the moment after the ferry was damaged, Betancourt said.

Wynne could not comment on the accident investigation, but said Seastreak continues to reach out to passengers who were on the ferry at the time of the accident.

Observational research methods

Cohort, cross sectional, and case control studies are collectively referred to as observational studies. Often these studies are the only practicable method of studying various problems, for example, studies of aetiology, instances where a randomised controlled trial might be unethical, or if the condition to be studied is rare. Cohort studies are used to study incidence, causes, and prognosis. Because they measure events in chronological order they can be used to distinguish between cause and effect. Cross sectional studies are used to determine prevalence. fake hermes leather handbags They are relatively quick and easy but do not permit distinction between cause and effect. Case controlled studies compare groups retrospectively. They seek to identify possible predictors of outcome and are useful for studying rare diseases or outcomes. They are often used to generate hypotheses that can then be studied via prospective cohort or other studies.research methodscohort studycase control studycross sectional studyCohort, cross sectional, and case control studies are often referred to as observational studies because imitiaton hermes bags the investigator simply observes. No interventions are carried out by the investigator. With the recent emphasis on evidence based medicine and the formation of the Cochrane Database of randomised controlled trials, such studies have been somewhat glibly maligned. However, they remain important because many questions can be efficiently answered by these methods and sometimes they are the only methods available.The objective of most clinical studies is to determine one of the following prevalence, incidence, cause, prognosis, or effect of treatment; it is therefore useful to remember which type of study is most commonly associated with each objective (table 1)View this table:View inlineView popupThe source of the controls should be explained are they from the same population as the sample?Are the controls matched or randomised to minimise bias and confounding.Quality of measurements and outcomesValidity are the measurements used regarded as valid by other investigators?Reproducibility can the results be repeated or is there a reason to suspect they may be a "one off"?Blinded were the investigators or subjects aware of their subject/control allocation?Quality control has the methodology been rigorously adhered to?All studies should be internally valid. That is, the conclusions can be logically drawn from the results produced by an appropriate methodology. For a study to be regarded as valid it must be shown that it has indeed demonstrated what it says it has. A study that is not internally valid should not be published because the findings cannot be accepted.The question of external validity relates to the value of the results of the study to other populations that is, the generalisability of the results. For example, a study showing that 80% of the Swedish population has blond hair, might be used to make a sensible prediction of the incidence of blond hair in other Scandinavian countries, but would be invalid if applied to most other populations.Every published study should contain sufficient information to allow the reader to analyse the data with reference to these key points.In this article each of the three important observational research methods will be discussed with emphasis on their strengths and weaknesses. The investigator then measures a variety of variables that might be relevant to the development of the condition. Over a Different hermes bag fake period of time the people in the sample are observed to see whether they develop the outcome of interest (that is, myocardial infarction).In single cohort studies those people who do not develop the outcome of interest are used as internal controls. The methodology is the same but the study is performed posthoc. The cohort is "followed up" retrospectively. Thus research on risk factors relies heavily on cohort studies.As cohort studies measure potential causes before the outcome has occurred the study can demonstrate that these "causes" preceded the outcome, thereby avoiding the debate as to which is cause and which is effect.A further replica hermes handbags outlet advantage is that a single study can examine various outcome variables. For example, cohort studies of smokers can simultaneously look at deaths from lung, cardiovascular, and cerebrovascular disease. This contrasts with case control studies as they assess only one outcome variable (that is, whatever outcome the cases have entered the study with).

Puppy stolen from van which was out putting microchips in dogs

A devastated charity worker is appealing for help in tracing her puppy stolen from classic hermes bags fake a van during a community event.

Jacky Donaghy, campaigns manager for the Dogs Trust, had brought long haired Chihuahua puppy Frankie out on a microchipping event near Bradstock House, Hackney, on Tuesday.

Stolen: Frankie was taken from the front of a Dogs Trust van (Picture: Dogs Trust)

It was discovered Frankie replica hermes handbags outlet was taken between 2.30pm to 2.55pm from the van through the driver's side window.

Phase behaviour of concentrated suspensions of nearly hard colloidal spheres

Pogba gets going as Van Persie grabs goal on Old Trafford return

In an ideal world Paul Pogba would dominate games and score decisive goals every time he pulled on the No 6 Manchester United shirt but after this performance against Fenerbahce, Jose Mourinho would simply settle for the same again at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

The world's most expensive footballer scored twice in United's Europa League demolition of Fenerbahce and celebrated with the kind of bountiful confidence that seems to come naturally for this young man. If that performance against Liverpool on Monday was on his mind, when he found himself largely passed around at Anfield, then it certainly did not show.

He engaged in the kind of choreographed goal celebrations with his team mate Jesse Lingard that most people over a certain age can only watch with a deep sense of embarrassment on behalf of the participants. But then United did not spend 89 million on a man they hoped would be shy and retiring and Pogba is certainly not that.

After four games as substitute there was a return to the team for Wayne Rooney who must nonetheless wonder whether he has done enough to keep his place for the game against Chelsea. United won two penalties in quick succession in the first half and both times Rooney had the ball in his hands only to defer to Pogba and then Anthony Martial.

There was a goal fake hermes leather handbags late in the game for Fenerbahce's Robin Van Persie, applauded by all sides of the ground with affection but also in the same way a child taking penalties at half time might get some good natured encouragement. In the stand, Sir Alex Ferguson, whose 13th Premier League title was delivered largely thanks to the Dutchman's goals joined in the applause and so did his friend alongside him, Sam Allardyce.

Mourinho was even able to bring on the lesser spotted Marcos Rojo and Memphis Depay as United strolled through the second half. Even so there was no place once again for Henrikh Mkhitaryan who did not even merit a place on the bench and Morgan Schneiderlin was not in the squad either. The result takes United top of the group on goal difference from Feyenoord.

Mourinho had one of his minor touchline rages when Pogba brought down the right winger Alper Potuk close to half time and gave Fenerbahce a free kick and one of their rare sights of the United goal in the first half.

It was a moment that showed how United's 89 million man can often look like a certainty to give away a free kick when he comes bounding over to challenge a smaller opponent. Pogba does all replica hermes handbags sorts of things in the course of a match, good and bad. He can execute a little drag back to take the ball away from an opponent and, in the space of a few minutes, he can fall over his own feet.

United are still looking for one of those stand out performances against a major opponent and there is no question that there is so much that is possible from this remarkably gifted footballer who can dominate with his power and his technique. He was keen to take the first penalty that United won on the half hour and despite a run up that were eerily reminiscent of Simone Zaza's ill starred Euro 2016 semi final miss for Italy, Pogba replica how much is a hermes handbag put his away.

Before then, United had lots of possession but little in the way of chances unless you count Anthony Martial arriving too late at the back post when Juan Mata crossed on 24 minutes. It was Mata who won the first penalty, twisting back onto a good throughball from Michael Carrick and inviting a disastrous challenge from Simon Kjaer who seemed determined to attract the French referee's attention.

Pogba scored that and within three minutes, the French referee Benoit Bastien had given United another. This time it was the unfortunate Sener Ozbayraki who brought down Martial and Pogba allowed his team mate to have the second penalty. An unusual tactic but one supposes that it keeps the goalkeeper guessing. Martial buried his in the same corner.

The best goal of the first half was the third goal. The calamitous Kjaer gave the ball to Rooney on the right and he found Jesse Lingard in the centre. The Englishman had to double back to get the ball and with his back to goal, teed up Pogba perfectly for a right footed shot into the top corner of the Fenerbahce goal.

The Fenerbahce manager Dick Advocaat put Kjaer out of his misery at half time and replaced him. Four minutes into the new half and United struck again, the same combination of Pogba, Rooney and Lingard as it was for the third goal. This time Lingard hit a nicely judged right foot shot from the edge of the area that beat the goalkeeper Volkan Demirel past his right hand.

Van Persie's goal was forced in from close range from the cross of Emmanuel Emenike and the applause grew around the ground as the home support recognised that it was their once great centre forward who had done the business. Certainly the Dutchman seemed touched by the reception he was given

Michael Owen's sole aim in any football match was to score goals and he cannot understand why Rooney passed on penalty duty to Pogba and Martial. I AGREE. (hold me)He's trying to get Pogba started and in form, and Martial's confidence is low, but I'd say the main thing to note about this is that Rooney keeps acting like he's the oldest guy playing 5 a side, letting others get their turn. He's only 31 (nearly) he should want to score as many as possible. Instead he seems happy to just sit back and let everyone else have the fun, almost like he's already been there, done that. Where's the ambition? The desire? He used to be absolutely mad, lunging into everyone, all fired up and swearing. Now he's just. he's like the guy who was screaming, demanding tunes off the DJand standing on tables last night but is all quiet and bashful now it's Sunday.

"It will be a special occasion and a special game for me," he told MUTV.

"I know Manchester United want to be in the Champions League, but it is how it is now and for me it is a very special group in the Europa League. In the last match I had a game against one of my first teams, Feyenoord, and next it's United. I am looking forward to it.

"I am now playing for Fenerbahce and I want to do well for my team but of course it will be special to play 'at home' [Old Trafford] in a great stadium with great fans against a replica hermes handbags outlet great team.

"It will be tough for us. United are the favourites, but you never know what will happen. In general I am looking forward to a nice evening and enjoying the whole experience."

"It's a very difficult week for us. Monday, Thursday, Sunday; Liverpool, Fenerbahce, Chelsea. It's a special week. We have to be ready," he said.

"I don't want to give you the team. Sometimes I do, but this time, no.

"If we play with a team that is not good and strong, we won't have a chance. We will play a really good team knowing two days later we have to play again."

Robin van Persie is set to play his first game in England since he was sold to Fenerbahce in 2015.

After arriving from Arsenal in 2012, Robin van Persie scored 30 goals in his first season at Manchester United to help guide the club to their most recent Premier League title win, and their last under Sir Alex Ferguson.

The Armenian has been limited to a handful of appearances since joining the club from Borussia Dortmund and hopes Thursday's game against Fenerbahce could help him to re find his form.

Manager Jose Mourinho has backed the former Dortmund playmaker to start proving himself after recovering from injury.

"He was injured for quite a long time," said Mourinho.

"Now he is not injured any more. He has been training with the team without any limitation. I cannot confirm if he plays tomorrow. Now he is fit and now it is time for him to go back to the levels we know he can achieve."
