DERBY HERO KANE MOCKS PIERS MORGAN OVER AUBAMEYANG TWEET

The Spurs striker scored the only goal in a North London derby win over Arsenal after the pundit tweeted the Gabon international was superior
Harry Kane took to Twitter to poke fun at pundit and Arsenal fan Piers Morgan after Tottenham’s 1-0 victory over the Gunners on Saturday.
The Spurs striker proved the match-winner with the only goal of the match, giving his side a victory in the latest edition of the north London derby.
Prior to the match, Morgan had tweeted the rate of scoring for Kane and new Arsenal signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. With the Gabon international scoring 100 times in 117 games compared to Kane’s 92 goals in 117 games, Morgan wrote: “Can’t wait to see the best striker in Europe tomorrow” and tagged Aubameyang, while copying Kane.
On the field Aubameyang and the new Arsenal signings failed to score in the defeat, thus leaving no doubt who, at least for the day, was the best striker.
It appears Kane took notice as after the match, quoting the original tweet and responding with a simple “Thanks”.
Kane hardly needed any more motivation for the match, as he previously wrote in the Players’ Tribune about how being released from Arsenal’s youth system as an eight-year-old gave him a drive that has fueled him throughout his career.
It was Kane's 23rd goal of the Premier League season, in a performance which prompted Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino to declare him "a blessing" in his post-game comments.
The victory took Tottenham into third place in the Premier League, one point ahead of Liverpool and two in front of Chelsea, who play Sunday and Monday respectively.
Meanwhile Arsenal remain six points behind Liverpool and five behind Chelsea as they attempt to chase down a Champions League place.

Coronavirus: 'The worst bit is the uncontrollable coughing'

"The worst bit is the uncontrollable coughing," says Andrew O'Dwyer, who is recovering after being infected with the new coronavirus following a skiing trip to Italy in late February. "I've had worse flu, without a doubt - but I wouldn't want to catch it again," he says during his self-isolation at home in south-west London. Despite having type 1 diabetes, Andrew says having the virus "isn't anything to worry about for me personally". He adds that the fever he experienced is "no different to normal flu-type symptoms". "I've not been concerned," he says. The severity of symptoms can vary widely among people. Those who are older and have pre-existing medical conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease) are more likely to become severely ill and can need hospital treatment. There have been 10 coronavirus-related deaths so far in the UK. Andrew was told the virus wasn't circulating in the resort ...

THE MASCARENE PARROT

The Mascarene parrot was 35 cm (14 in) in length with a large red bill and long, rounded tail feathers. Its legs were red, and it had naked red skin around the eyes and nostrils. It had a black facial mask and partially white tail feathers, but the colouration of the body, wings and head is unclear. Descriptions from life indicate the body and head were ash grey, and the white part of the tail had two dark central feathers. In contrast, descriptions based on stuffed specimens state that the body was brown and the head bluish but do not mention the dark central tail feathers. This may be due to the specimens having changed colour as a result of aging and exposure to light, as well as other forms of damage. Very little is known about the bird in life. The Mascarene parrot was first mentioned in 1674, and live specimens were later brought to Europe, where they lived in captivity . The species was scientifically described in 1771. Only two stuffed specimens exist today, in Paris and Vienn...
