Yes, former <i>Gilmore Girls</i> co-stars <b>Yanic Truesdale</b> and <b>Melissa McCarthy</b> reunited today...in Greece!<br />

They
 gave us all the feels as they shared a sweet selfie together on 
Instagram, hanging by the pool with an incredible ocean view while on 
vacation.<br />
Truesdale captioned
 the photo, "I love when this happens! By coincidence, we both booked a

We Just Realized Old Will Smith and New Will Smith Have Come Full Circle, Thanks to This Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Moment

<section data-swiftype-index="false" data-textblock-tracking="text-block-video-text">Call it life imitating art!<br />
Remember the episode of<em> Fresh Prince of Bel-Air</em> during season five in which <strong>Will Smith</strong> dressed up as an older man in order to pose as Ashley Banks' dad?<br />
<br />
Basically, Ashley (<strong>Tatyana Ali</strong>)
 had secretly dropped out of Bel-Air Academy in order to attend public 
school without telling her family. When parent-teacher conferences came 
around, she thought she'd have to break the news to Uncle Phil (<strong>James Avery</strong>)—that
 is, until Will proposed his "genius" idea to dress up as her father. 
Eventually, plans go awry when Will tries to ask Ashley's teacher on a 
date, and the teacher discovers he's wearing a fake mustache.</section>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ankara clothing is loved by Nigerian 
women as aso-ebi fabric, sewn into different styles and worn at 
weddings. It’s common to see ankara combined with lace, chiffon or other
 materials. Even when ankara is used to sew casual wears and other 
traditional wears.</div>

<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
About Ankara Cloth: The African Cloth</h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For the benefit of those who don’t have 
an idea about the origin and history of this fabric, ankara is the name 
of the popular, patterned, cotton fabric extensively worn by Africans. 
Some call it ankara print, ankara wax, or simply ‘wax’ or 
‘print’. Ankara is synonymous with ‘traditional wear’ in Nigeria. 
Popular brands of this fabric include: vlisco ankara wax, uniwax, Ghana 
wax, English wax, Dutch wax, Nigerian wax, woodin print and a whole lot 
of other African print fabric brands.</div>
<div class="code-block code-block-7" style="margin: 8px 0;">
<ins class="adsbygoogle" data-ad-client="ca-pub-4201977176390765" data-ad-format="link" data-ad-slot="1743883331" data-adsbygoogle-status="done" style="display: block; height: 30px;"><ins id="aswift_3_expand" style="background-color: transparent; border: none; display: inline-table; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; position: relative; visibility: visible; width: 676px;"><ins id="aswift_3_anchor" style="background-color: transparent; border: none; display: block; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; position: relative; visibility: visible; width: 676px;"></ins></ins></ins>Because this fabric is commonly called 
the ‘African cloth’, one would think that it originated from Africa. 
Thing is, it did not – the Europeans were some of those that started 
manufacturing the fabric that we all now know as ‘ankara’. In fact, the 
ones regarded as the high quality ankara are made in Europe – with 
Vlisco’s Hollandais being one of so-called best ankara wax.</div>

Leading 1-0 from the first leg, United took control as Marouane Fellaini headed home Marcus Rashford's cross.<br />
<br />
But Celta, needing two goals, levelled on the night through Facundo Roncaglia to set up a tense final few minutes.<br />
<br />
United's Eric Bailly and Roncaglia were sent off after a mass brawl, and the hosts hung on to reach the final.<br />
<br />
Indeed they could only celebrate after Celta striker John Guidetti 
scuffed a golden chance to put the visitors through to their first major
 European final with the final kick of the game.<br />
<br />
The aggregate victory took the Red Devils a step closer to their first 
Europa League triumph and a return to the Champions League.<br />
<br />
They will meet Ajax, who beat Lyon in the other semi-final, in Stockholm on 24 May.<br />

In Italy he's known as `Il Martello' - The Hammer' - relentless in his 
quest for success. As Antonio Conte stands on the brink of winning his 
first Premier League title, Sky Sports reflects upon the career of a man
 who's already been a serial winner in the game, both as a player and a 
manager.<br />
<br />
In his early career he was the local boy made good, a boyhood fan of his
 hometown club Lecce who would become their hero and earn a move to the 
big time with the Serie A giants Juventus.<br />
<br />
"He's a midfielder who scored goals, who worked very hard for the team,"
 said Fabrizio Ravanelli, a former team-mate of Conte at Juventus. "He 
was a good passer, a good header of the ball and he scored many 
important goals."<br />

<b>Jose Mourinho</b> insists Europa League success should not determine whether 
his first season in charge of Manchester United is viewed as a success 
or failure.<br />
<br />
United qualified for the final against Ajax in Stockholm on May 24 with a
 2-1 aggregate victory against Celta Vigo and their route into next 
season's Champions League appears increasingly likely to hinge on what 
happens in that match.<br />
<br />
Failure to do so would be a blow to Mourinho as he outlined in great 
detail during his introductory press conference as United boss last 
July, when he spoke of the importance of returning United to Europe's 
elite competition.<br />
<br />
When asked if the Europa League final will determine whether his first 
season in charge was a success or failure, Mourinho said: "I think the 
media has the right to say [that] and it makes sense to say it.<br />
<br />
"But I don't feel like that. I don't want the players to feel like that.
 I don't think the board feels like that because we have worked very 
hard.<br />
<br />
"I probably worked this season harder than ever. So for me personally, I don't think that way."<br />
<br />
United have been difficult to beat under Mourinho, losing only four 
Premier League matches, which is tied with Tottenham for the lowest 
total in the league.<br />
<br />
But their 14 draws are a league high, and their total of 51 goals scored is at least 17 less than each of their top six rivals.<br />
<br />
Yet success in Stockholm will give Mourinho his third trophy as United 
manager, adding to the FA Community Shield and the EFL Cup, and he feels
 the media would be portraying him unfairly if his first season in 
charge was to be labelled a failure.<br />
<br />
Mourinho said: "We won a League Cup and we won a Community Shield. Until
 the injuries arrived we fought for the Premier League top four. We had a
 fantastic record of 25 matches [unbeaten].<br />
<br />
"We did things that nobody has done in this club in the first season 
like winning a trophy, like having the record of Manchester United in 
the Premier League for unbeaten matches, like reaching a European final.<br />
<br />
"We did good things but if I was on your side [the media] and you are 
always looking for these kinds of capital letters and big headlines, I 
accept if you say that."<br />
<br />
United travel to White Hart Lane on Sunday to take on Tottenham, live on Sky Sports 1 HD.<br />
<br />
Mourinho admits he will prioritise the Europa League final over United's three remaining Premier League matches.<br />
<br />
"I have to give some minutes to everyone because we only have 15 
players. We don't have more. We only have 15," said Mourinho, who 
confirmed Eric Bailly is likely to feature in all three after his red 
card against Celta Vigo.<br />
<br />
"So I have to play them but I have to play them mixed. I have to play them by periods and I don't have another solution.<br />
<br />
"In the Premier League we can only finish fifth or sixth. I don't think 
we can finish seventh or finish fourth. So we can finish fifth or sixth 
and we can win a trophy.<br />
<br />
"By winning that trophy we can play Champions League next season and that is the game.<br />
<br />
"We are not saying matches are not important. Matches are important but we have one that is more important than others."<br />

Manchester United's big summer transfer decision: Gareth Bale or Antoine Griezmann?

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FKq9DUVhlEg/WRX1wBFBKkI/AAAAAAAAABk/94aSQA4d7Nkzk3xJt3kj0a6dkm4-lM6wgCLcB/s1600/bale-griezmann-nu.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FKq9DUVhlEg/WRX1wBFBKkI/AAAAAAAAABk/94aSQA4d7Nkzk3xJt3kj0a6dkm4-lM6wgCLcB/s1600/bale-griezmann-nu.jpg" /></a></div>
Manchester United are set for another big spending summer and have two of world football's biggest names in their sights.<br />
<br />
Atletico Madrid's Antoine Griezmann has been a target for the club for 
some time and could be prized away from the Spanish capital for 
£85million but Gareth Bale is also a real option with the Welshman's 
situation at Real Madrid not as certain as it once was.<br />
<br />
Signing the Atletico striker remains the primary aim, but United have 
found the situation difficult, and have gone back and forth in terms of 
alternative options. It also remains up in the air whether Griezmann 
will even leave Diego Simeone’s side this summer.<br />
<br />
The long-mooted big-money move for Bale is still subject to a few 
issues, but it is understood that a deal is “much likelier” than at any 
point in his time at the Bernabeu with the player himself willing to 
move to Old Trafford this summer.<br />
<br />
Manager Jose Mourinho is believed to favour Griezmann but which way 
should they go? Independent Sport have weighed up the decision:<br />
<br />
<b>Ed Malyon</b><br />
<br />
For me it would have to be Griezmann. Having seen a lot of both players 
in the flesh over the last couple of seasons, it is impossible not to be
 bowled over by how talented they are.<br />
<br />
Bale brings immense power and speed. If he were to be made into the 
focal point of Manchester United's attack then you could see how 
devastating he would be. Just remember how unstoppable he was in his 
last season in the Premier League and then add in a more talented 
supporting cast.<br />
<br />
Bale would also be happier in England. Though there would be less sun 
when he's out on the golf course, his family would be far closer and it 
would please his partner, Emma. This happier home life can help on-field
 performance.<br />
<br />
But the injuries are a concern, and this would be a very expensive 
mistake if the Welshman were to spend as much time on the sidelines in 
Manchester as he has in Madrid.<br />
<br />
Griezmann has never suffered from the same issues. He's technically more
 gifted and he's certainly more versatile. The Frenchman is not just the
 choice of Jose Mourinho but of Paul Pogba - two people who will have a 
significant say in United's medium-term future.<br />
<br />
Grizou is the safer option but is also entering his peak. This summer would be the perfect time to sign him.<br />
<br />
Luke Brown<br />
<br />
It has been four years since Sir Alex Ferguson decided to retire, during
 which Manchester United have spent £389m on transfers and finished 
fourth once. They can ill-afford yet another season of underachievement 
and if they are going to spend big on a superstar this summer, they need
 him to begin delivering the goods immediately.<br />
<br />
Bale has experience playing in the Premier League and so would take far 
less time to adjust to United’s system than Griezmann, who has never 
played outside of Spain. There is also a more natural gap for Bale in 
United’s current squad. In Ibrahimovic, Rashford and Martial, Mourinho 
already has options through the middle – albeit of varied quality. But 
he does not have a single traditional winger in his squad: a player like
 Bale who can hug the touchline and repeatedly beat his man.<br />
<br />
True, the Frenchman scores more. As more of an out-and-out forward that 
is to be expected. But Bale is the more creative player, having 
registered as many assists in 17 La Liga matches this season as 
Griezmann has in double that number. There are questions over his 
fitness, but – when international games are factored in – this is the 
first season in 7 years that he won’t have played in more than 40 
matches.<br />
<br />
With a proper rest this summer, there is no reason he cannot return to 
his very best at United, the player who single-handedly dragged a poor 
Spurs side to the verge of Champions League qualification in 2013 and 
who scores goals as sublime as the one which won the 2014 Copa del Rey 
final. <br />
<br />
<b>Ben Burrows</b><br />
<br />
As problems go it's not a bad one to have. Make no mistake, both players
 would walk into this Manchester United team - I like Jesse Lingard too 
but a Galactico he isn't - and would be home run transfers should Ed 
Woodward be able to pull either off this summer.<br />
<br />
But you can only have one and for my money I'd go with Griezmann. The 
Atletico Madrid star is electric, able to play anywhere across a front 
free he would add a much-needed explosive threat that hitherto only 
Marcus Rashford seems able to provide this team. This current United 
side has been so ponderous at times this season - add Griezmann's 
dynamism and it looks a whole different animal.<br />
<br />
And then there are the goals. Having infamously scored less than 
Bournemouth and 24 fewer than champions-elect Chelsea finding the back 
of the net has been this team's primary problem - and that's before 
Zlatan Ibrahimovic's impending exit. With the enigmatic Swede all but 
certainly on his way and Rashford still a delicate talent in need of 
nurturing Mourinho has no choice but to address his forward line in the 
summer window and while Bale is hardly goal-shy Griezmann is the only 
way to go. The Frenchman would walk day one as the number one No.9. 
Bale, as good as he is, would never be that and would fit better in 
wider areas a position where United are actually well stocked.<br />
<br />
It's a nice problem to have, but Griezmann is the answer.<br />
<br />
<b>Jack Austin</b><br />
<br />
Put simply, whichever player you choose it is a gamble.<br />
<br />
If you gamble on Griezmann, you’re going chips in on a player that has 
only ever played in La Liga, where forwards traditionally perform better
 – just ask Liverpool flop Iago Aspas, who has actually scored more 
league goals than the Frenchman this season.<br />
<br />
If you gamble on Bale, you’re backing a potentially lame horse. Yes, if 
he returns to he will without doubt be the best player in the Premier 
League – but given his injuries, how often will you see that? What sort 
of return will United get for their, probably, new world-record 
transfer? Injuries have marred his time in Madrid, which is odd to say 
of a two-time Champions League winner.<br />
<br />
But, too much money has been spent, particularly by Manchester United, 
on world-class players who just can’t cut it in England – Angel Di Maria
 being a prime example – and Bale offers the more immediate promise of 
success, which is what they need. So I’d go for Bale. Then go back for 
Griezmann next summer. The money’s there to do it, after all.<br />

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino is manager of the month for April as Son Heung-Min grabs player prize

Tottenham Hotspur bagged a double award on Friday as Mauricio Pochettino
 was named Premier League manager of the month for April while winger 
Son Heung-min picked up the players' prize for the second time this 
season.<br />
<br />
Pochettino last month led Spurs to victories over Burnley, Swansea City,
 Watford, Bournemouth, Crystal Palace and North London rivals Arsenal.<br />
<br />
Son, who became the first Asian recipient of the award in September, 
scored five goals during that run, which closed the gap on leaders 
Chelsea.<br />
<br />
"I feel proud because it is a collective reward," Pochettino said after 
winning the award for the fourth time in his Premier League career.<br />
<br />
Second-placed Spurs lost their first game of May at West Ham United last
 week to slip seven points behind Chelsea with three matches to play.<br />

Farewell to White Hart Lane, my spiritual home and a football stadium far more unique than most others

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-qBhXUKZSZug/WRc1MEBJSlI/AAAAAAAAACU/R0bd3m6IIhodqKTPLFBX54RIiToRuMAQQCHM/s1600/greaves.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-qBhXUKZSZug/WRc1MEBJSlI/AAAAAAAAACU/R0bd3m6IIhodqKTPLFBX54RIiToRuMAQQCHM/s640/greaves.jpg" /></a></div>
<div dir="ltr">
The Lane - with its curious mix of romantic idealism, the 
thunderous acoustic and that gentler undertone of Jewish resignation - 
was a truly special home ground. It will be missed</div>
<div dir="ltr">
And so it ends, my spiritual home, not with a bang, not 
with a whimper, but with the crunch of bulldozers and thud of demolition
 balls.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
White Hart Lane, known to generations of stadium announcers
 as “the world famous home of the Spurs”, is to be demolished next week.
 In its place will be a nearby arena with almost double the capacity and
 (on the Arsenal precedent at the Emirates) less than a quarter of the 
atmosphere  </div>
<div dir="ltr">
All change is for the worse, of course, even when it’s 
plainly for the better.  Even in England, you won’t find a more 
determined nostalgist than the generic football fan, let alone than 
those shackled to Tottenham Hotspur for over a half century without a 
league title.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Nothing concentrates the mind like your home ground’s 
imminent execution, and the memories flood back in crystal clarity. Not 
that anyone forgets their first match - the noise, the colour, the 
visceral excitement, first exposure to sustained profanity. Mine, at 
seven, was a 2-0 win over Ipswich Town (Martin Chivers and an own goal) 
on 10 April 1971.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Under Bill Nicholson who managed Spurs to the League and 
Cup double a decade earlier, Spurs were still a force. We finished third
 in the table and won the League Cup, and  would win the Uefa Cup a year
 later after a 1-1 draw with Wolves on one of those nights when the 
noise thundering over the pitch from this tight, compressed ground made 
the difference.</div>

ManCity moves third on EPL Table as Leicester city have penalty ruled out

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div dir="ltr">
Manchester City held on to beat Leicester City and move 
back into third place after referee Bobby Madley disallowed Riyad 
Mahrez's late penalty for the Foxes.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Mahrez, who had been brought down by Gael Clichy, had the 
chance to make it 2-2 but slipped as he took his spot-kick and touched 
the ball with his right foot as well as his left as he sent it into the 
net.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Madley immediately ruled the goal out for a double-touch 
and awarded the home side a free-kick, to the relief of Manchester City 
manager Pep Guardiola and his players.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
The hosts had dominated the first half at the Etihad 
Stadium, and looked like they were cruising to victory when they went 
2-0 up.There was controversy over the home side's first goal, 
which came when David Silva turned in Leroy Sane's shot, with Leicester 
claiming unsuccessfully that Raheem Sterling was offside as he tried and
 failed to help it over the line. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Gabriel Jesus made it 2-0 with a penalty that was a far easier decision for Madley, after Yohan Benalouane sent Sane sprawling.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Manchester City appeared to be in complete control but the 
mood changed when Leicester's Shinji Okazaki met Marc Albrighton's cross
 with a superb acrobatic finish.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Guardiola's side were far less fluent after the break while
 Leicester's increased attacking threat ensured a tense finish that 
almost brought them a point as a reward.</div>
