The club’s manager, Pep Guardiola, is promising fans that the team are going all in for the upcoming titles.

He said: “The decisive part of the season is here ahead of us, in front of us, not far away, and we are going for it.

“It’s better to play for this than being 10th in the table and (having) no chance for that. The feeling is that if you lose – bye-bye. It’s so nice.

“The problem is September, October – you see the expectations far, far away. In that moment you don’t think about any titles.

“We don’t even now. I would say how we’ll define the end of March, beginning of April depends on what we have done this next month. Tomorrow and this month will (determine) our options.”

The mother of Sheffield Hallam worker, Jacob Billington, has said that his death is something that their family will “never recover from”, at the inquest held into his death.

Billington, 23, was killed in a knife-attack in Birmingham on 6 September 2020.

Ms Billington said: “For us, Jacob’s death is something we will never recover from and has changed the lives of everyone who knew him.

“He wanted to be alive, he grabbed life with both hands and he was at a great point in his life.”

The inquest continues.

Over 100 people gathered in Sheffield Cathedral last night to commemorate the second anniversary of the war in Ukraine.

The event consisted of an evening eucharist with Ukrainian orthodox prayer and was followed by live traditional Ukrainian music. The cathedral is also hosting an exhibition of artworks created by wounded Ukrainian soldiers.

Event organiser Tanya Klymenko said: “It means a huge amount to the refugees because despite the warmest welcome we got from locals who opened their hearts and homes, it is still important for people to have a sense of belonging and to speak their own language.”

Three protestors appeared in court after they stormed Wimbledon and covered tennis courts with confetti and puzzle pieces.

The protestors allegedly scaled a barrier and threw the items on the court during The Championships, the world’s oldest tennis tournament, City of London Magistrates’ Court heard on Monday.

All three defendants admitted that they entered the tennis courts but said it did not amount to the charge.

A series of sporting events and activities will be coming to Sheffield next month to celebrate the city’s outdoor culture.

Originating as a single weekend, the festival returns for its fifth iteration, with events set to take place across the city.

The point deduction made against Everton, for breaching the Premier League’s financial rules, has been reduced from 10 points to six points.

Mr Anderson has admitted that his choice of words was “clumsy” but believes apologising “would be a sign of weakness”.

Whilst on GB News, Mr Anderson said: “Politics is divisive and I am just incredibly frustrated about the abject failures of the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan.

“My words may have been clumsy but my words were borne out of sheer frustration at what is happening to our beautiful capital city.”

Hope for a promised £90 million investment into the local community has dwindled after seven years of little progress.

Sheffield City Council first discussed the Gleadless Valley Masterplan with the residents of Gleadless Valley in 2017 to improve the area. 

£1.1 million of the budget has been spent on the plan over the last seven years, but questions have been raised as to what progressions has been made with that money. Residents are now losing hope in the council’s plans.

Following 290 migrants traveling to the UK by boat on Sunday, Rishi Sunak has promised that he is not ignoring them.

He said: “We do need to make sure that we house people in appropriate accommodation and the best way to resolve this issue long term is to stop people coming in the first place.

“So anyone who cares about this should be backing us to get the Rwanda Bill through Parliament so we can get a deterrent up and running.

“I’m confident that we really will be able to stop the boats and that will mean that we won’t have this pressure in all our local areas to find places to house illegal migrants.”

Bomb disposal experts were called to the River Don after a shell was pulled from the river on Sunday afternoon.

The iconic 1964 film has had its rating raised from U to PG due to “discriminatory language”.

The British Board of Film Classification said: “While Mary Poppins has a historical context, the use of discriminatory language is not condemned, and ultimately exceeds our guidelines for acceptable language at U.

“We therefore classified the film PG for discriminatory language.”
