It is a commonplace political observation that carelessly passed legislation often has unintended – and maybe ridiculous – effects. Our newly minted local legislators seem to have neglected this important warning. We are all, these days, eager to secure national security. However, attempts to achieve this by jailing those convicted of national security offences for long periods have reached a curious position. Readers will recall that – under the national security law bestowed on us by Beijing – national security offences come, like Pacific Coffee, in three sizes: small, medium and large. Thos...

Liverpool centre-back Ibrahima Konate is not enjoying the best of times at the moment. Although he’s been a brilliant addition for the Reds since joining in 2021, Konate has had a difficult time recently. The 24-year-old was called out by Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher after last month’s dreadful Merseyside Derby loss to Everton. Carragher even suggested that Konate should be replaced over the summer. Reports since have claimed that Liverpool will indeed look to bring in a new centre-back before next season. However, we don’t think Konate is necessarily in danger. With Virgil van Dijk’s futu...

Chelsea are back in action tomorrow afternoon when they host West Ham in the Premier League. It’s a quick turnaround for the Blues following Thursday’s 2-0 league win over Tottenham. Mauricio Pochettino’s side go into their final four matches of the season still in the race for the European positions, so can they finish strongly and salvage an underwhelming campaign? The Chelsea Chronicle has predicted the starting XI that Pochettino may select on Sunday at home to West Ham. The Evening Standard claims Levi Colwill and Christopher Nkunku may be fit enough to return to the matchday squad this w...

The Premier League loan market has been a fruitful avenue for Derby County to explore in the past and they should do so again this summer. Now Derby County are back in the Championship and are no longer hamstrung by spending limitations, the Rams can splash some cash this summer. While many are clamouring for the club to spend millions, that isn’t a realistic possibility and instead, they will be working within their means in this window. Derby are looking to get the ball rolling on the transfer front by signing Ebou Adams from Cardiff City, although their £250,000 bid was thwarted with the Bl...

Wolves have been urged to sign a ‘special’ Brazilian talent this summer and if they do, the Wanderers could repeat the success of capturing Joao Gomes. Gomes arrived at Wolves as a relatively unknown quantity. The Old Gold signed him in January 2023 for £15 million from Brazilian giants Flamengo. Fast forward 16 months and the 23-year-old has emerged as one of the best destructive midfielders in the league. Gomes ranks third for most tackles in the Premier League this term (110), behind only Sheffield United’s Vinicius Souza (121) and Fulham’s Joao Palhinha (138). The improvement in the Wolves...

With the summer transfer window approaching, here are three players that the incoming Sunderland manager needs to loan. All eyes are now on the transfer window at the Stadium of Light. Sunderland’s 2023/24 campaign has been far from memorable as they prepare for their final game of the season. The club’s ambitions for promotion were quickly swept away in 2024 after a terrible run of form. As a result, many changes are expected this summer with a new permanent manager set to take over Mike Dodds. Therefore, Sunderland’s first team will also likely be moved around to suit the new boss’ needs. Ah...

Leeds United play their final game of the regular Championship season against Southampton today. The Whites head into the fixture with the faintest of hopes of an automatic promotion spot as they sit third in the Championship, three points adrift of Ipswich Town. In order to finish second, Leeds will need to beat Southampton and hope all but relegated Huddersfield Town are somehow able to win away at Portman Road. There has been some suggestion from fans this week that Daniel Farke should make wholesale changes to his side ahead of the play-offs after last week’s 4-0 loss at QPR. However, Ben ...

By Brian Cheng West Kowloon Cultural District says this year’s International Cultural Summit will “demonstrate Hong Kong’s commitment to acting as an East-meets-West centre for international cultural exchange.“ The same phrase frequently crops up in campaigns by the Tourism Board and fellow government departments. It has become especially popular since it was mentioned in the state’s latest Five-year Plan, and subsequently in the city government’s policy address. The chairman of the Hong Kong Arts Development Council claimed in a press release that the city is “an international metropolis with...
