LIVERPOOL head into the 2019/20 season with a new shirt design to go with their new silverware. So if you want a to show your support for Jurgen Klopp's Champions League winners with your own shirt, here's how to do it for less. The new home kit abandons the collar of last year, opting for a crew-neck design with sharp white pinstripes. It costs £65 from shirt sponsor New Balance, but you can find it a little cheaper if you shop around.

The entry point for her ban was 28 days but Mangan got an increased suspension.

IT’S Movember, when chaps grow whiskers in the name of men’s health – but this time it looks like our pets are getting in on the act too. For every famous fella with fancy facial fluff, it seems there is a four-legged friend who is their spitting, barking or miaowing image, and today we bring you some of the best for Movember. Sadly there are no goats with walrus moustaches, nor any walruses with goatees, but we’re sure you’ll agree the cats and dogs on display all show a fur likeness to their celebrity counterparts.

OUR brave boys in the RAF scrawled a message on a missile destined for ISIS fiends that read “Love from Manchester”.

WHEN Slade recorded Merry Xmas Everybody they were described as the biggest British band since The Beatles as they toured the United States. And while that, to quote the lads and their like for misspelled song titles, might sound all crazee now, the West Midlands glam rockers did come closest to equalling the Fab Four’s achievement of 22 Top Ten records in a single decade. Their 17 Top 20 hits included six No1s — with Merry Xmas Everybody achieving double platinum status for its two million sales.

CONOR MCGREGOR has reignited his long-time rivalry with Khabib Nurmagomedov by firing several shots at him on Twitter.

After Nurmagomedov submitted McGregor a huge post-fight brawl fuelled demand for a rematch. Their war of words continued over the following years as Notorious tried to secure a rematch.

A MAN who purchased the UK's cheapest electrical vehicle and drove it until it died said the range is half of other motors.
