Aggie Beever-Jones’ seventh-minute strike was enough to send Chelsea back to the top of the Women’s Super League table thanks to a 1-0 win over Leicester. Beever-Jones’ third league goal in as many games proved to be the difference maker as she continued her clinical start to the season amid pressure on her spot from the returning Sam Kerr. Prior to kick-off, a minute’s silence was held in memory of former Liverpool manager Matt Beard who died on Saturday aged 47. Beard also had a spell at Chelsea from 2009-2012, and both sides wore black armbands to commemorate him.The visitors…

It was 2-0 in first-half stoppage time as a hotly-disputed corner from the right was cleared into the path of Przemyslaw Placheta, whose sweetly-struck left-footed shot from 25 yards found the top corner.Anis Mehmeti matched Placheta’s effort…

In 1950, Martinique-born poet and politician Aime Cesaire published his famous Discourse on Colonialism, one of the founding documents of anti-colonial thought. Cesaire’s sharp indictment of the European colonial system not only mercilessly dissected its excessive brutality, dehumanisation and oppression, but also exposed European hypocrisy – which persists to this day – on being the bastion of civilisation from which the rest of the world must learn. His Discourse is thus anything but a historical document of a bygone era. Rather, his analysis enables us to understand Europe, from its colonial ambitions in the second half of the twentieth century,…
