But the great advantage in effect limitless wealth offers is that clubs can afford to make mistakes. Which is where Daniel Levy is due sympathy. With the power of a state behind them, Newcastle should be able to accelerate away from Tottenham just as surely as City did. Nobody expects them to win and the sense must be that even if they do, even if they can qualify for the Champions League with all the advantages that entails for squad-building, in terms of revenue and attracting talent, it may ultimately be as meaningless as that win at the Etihad Stadium 13 years ago. Despite everything, victory would lift Spurs level with Newcastle, albeit having played a game more. Sunday’s match at St James’ Park is another crossroads. They did it last season against Arsenal, but it is Arsenal who are challenging for the title. The reputation for Spursiness, their capacity to falter at key moments, is not unearned, but Tottenham do win quite a lot of these decisive games. Tottenham enjoyed their European run – Gareth Bale destroying Maicon, Crouch’s winner against Milan, Joe Jordan squaring up to Gennaro Gattuso since then City have won the Premier League six times.

But I love your interpretation of it, because so much about this book is about what happens when we can’t quite look at the thing we know we need to look at, when we keep averting our eyes because it’s too difficult to face. It says that in certain Zen monasteries that gossip is defined as talking about anything that isn’t right in front of you. … There was a line in your book that said that gossip is kind of what you do when you avoid your gaze looking at this thing that you really need to be looking at. But, at the same time, we like our comfort and the sacrifice. Mitzi Rapkin: When you talk about climate change-or an aversion to activism-is this idea that if you really think about it, maybe not getting on a plane is just the tip of the iceberg of what we have to do to stop the massive forces of climate change.

O ne of the fragment-chapters in this fascinating novel of fragments tells of a man who takes a particular book on his travels: a short one by the French-Romanian philosopher Emil Cioran. I hope they’ll step back and reconsider.” “Nike has tremendous influence in this country, and they promote the values of teamwork, responsibility and good ethics, and I think the launch is inconsistent with Nike’s projected and professed values. “One thing I do know is these incidents cost taxpayers money - the police are deployed and, suddenly, a pair of sneakers becomes a law enforcement incident with arrests,” says Morial, based in Washington, D.C. He points to recent shootings in places like Kansas, Washington, D.C., and Virginia, where expensive sneakers led to gun violence. Morial, whose group promotes economic empowerment with an African-American focus, has been outspoken about the LeBron X Nike Plus, urging Nike to lower the price.
