The three-part House of Hammer docuseries promises to not only cover claims made against Hammer by some of the women who’ve accused him of sexual assault, but the project will also touch on the alleged history of abuse within his family. Hammer’s troubles first began in the summer of 2020 when his wife, Elizabeth Chambers, announced on Instagram they would be divorcing after 10 years of marriage. The separation seemed amicable at first, but by January 2021, the first tales of abuse hit the news when a woman with an anonymous Instagram account claimed she had recently been involved in a years-long affair with the Call Me By Your Name actor....

Breaking the deadlock would end nine years of haggling over a treaty that cuts U.S. and Soviet nuclear arsenals by about 30 percent. START looked like a done deal back in May 1990, when Bush and Gorbachev met in Washington. But the agreement went nowhere because of what a Kremlin official calls “a hundred tiny technical issues”. The two remaining issues are far from tiny. One was the issue of “downloading,” the question of how much to permit each side to achieve nuclear-warhead reductions by removing, say, three warheads from a missile capable of carrying 10, for a total of seven warheads in the treaty count....

That formula almost worked, nearly producing Army’s biggest victory in decades — and almost wrecking the Sooners’ season. OU survived the scare by the Black Knights on Saturday night at Owen Field, prevailing 28-21 in overtime and staying undefeated. MORE: Week 4 scores, highlights “Boy, tough win tonight,” Oklahoma coach Lincoln Riley said, “but a win nonetheless.” “I’ve just never been more proud of a team than I am this one,” Army coach Jeff Monken told Sporting News, “just the way they played tonight and the confidence they showed against a great football team....

Both teams feature dynamic triple-option attacks producing more than 250 yards per game, but Army has boasted the sturdier defense. The Black Knights even challenged College Football Playoff-bound Oklahoma in a 28-21 overtime defeat on Sept. 22, holding the Sooners to their lowest scoring total of the season.

Despite Sydney being on one of the longest unbeaten streaks in A-League history, Arnold has regularly claimed that his side has plenty of improvement left in them, with the veteran coach’s refrain that the Sky Blues are only functioning at 60 per cent becoming one of the catchphrases of the season. Ahead of the third Sydney derby of 2016-17, Arnold argued his team will reach “80 per cent” against the Wanderers....

With almost 60 percent of the population fully vaccinated and 70 percent partially vaccinated, more travelers feel safe to make the journey to visit loved ones, with 85 percent of people surveyed saying they feel optimistic about travel in 2021, according to a Travel Agent Central poll. Lisa Farbstein, a spokesperson for the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), told Newsweek that travelers should prepare for airport business to look like it did before the pandemic....

The Greece defender, who arrived from Olympiacos in 2014, has been linked with a move to the Premier League, with Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool all reported to hold an interest in the centre-back. However, the 26-year-old now appears set to remain in Italy for the foreseeable future after penning a three-year extension with his current employers. “I am very happy to sign this extension,” Manolas told Roma’s official website....

Thousands of visiting fans gained access to the home end and made their presence felt throughout the encounter, with estimates suggesting that 20,000 German fans travelled to London without tickets for the encounter. Many found their way into the home end of the ground, where they created a boisterous atmosphere, yet UEFA has taken a dim view of the way the fans were controlled by the Gunners and by their own club....

The 22-year-old has regularly been linked with a potential move back to Camp Nou, despite having extended his Gunners contract - reportedly until 2023 - last November. Wenger denies PSG agreement Bellerin stated towards the end of last year that he had no interest in rejoining Barca but, despite repeating that he felt underappreciated at the club, he has conceded that the latest rumours are flattering. “It’s nice there are a lot of big clubs that are interested in me, but if one of those is Barcelona, that’s special,” he told Sport....

The 19-year-old made his debut for the 2. Bundesliga side in August, and has gone on to play 18 times in all competitions after earning a regular spot in Hannes Wolf’s side. Juve want Spalletti if Allegri leaves Ozcan is currently contracted to Stuttgart until 2019, having signed a four-year-deal with the club.

Gunners manager Arsene Wenger reportedly has been interested in a move for Brazilian centre-back, who has become surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge. Luiz would be a welcome addition to the Arsenal defence, with Wenger deterred by the price of West Brom centre-back Jonny Evans. Chelsea jeopardise Aubameyang move Chelsea’s hard bargaining over Olivier Giroud could unleash a chain reaction that ends Arsenal’s pursuit of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, reports BBC Sport....

The Gunners were largely dominant against Tony Pulis’ men at Emirates Stadium, but the Baggies defence remained resolute. However, Arsenal - who had lost their previous two Premier League matches 2-1 - eventually made the breakthrough with four minutes remaining when Giroud expertly headed home Mesut Ozil’s brilliant cross. “In the end we had to be patient against a well-organised West Brom side,” Wenger told reporters. “They were tenacious, well-organised and we needed to keep patient and not make a defensive mistake....

Le10Sport claims that newly-appointed Arsenal manager Unai Emery could bring the Morocco international to the Emirates Stadium after the 2018 Fifa World Cup. Following the retirement of Per Mertesacker and Laurent Koscielny’s injury crisis, Benatia has been tipped as the potential candidate to strengthen the Gunners’ defence. The centre-back joined the Old Lady from Bayern Munich on a permanent transfer last summer after impressing during his temporary stay in the 2016-17 campaign....

Alexis’ sparkling form making him more expensive by the game Arsenal’s 3-1 victory over Stoke would have been the perfect early Christmas present for Arsene Wenger if it wasn’t for injuries suffered to the likes of Shkodran Mustafi and Alexis Sanchez. The duo hobbled off in the first and second half respectively following reported hamstring and knee problems. But while it looks like more Gunners players look set for a spell on the treatment table during another key period of domestic fixtures, Arsenal once again managed to get the job done just days after securing top spot in their Champions League group....

Ozil: My future? Top four is all that matters Wenger finally ending his curse against Jose Mourinho with a comprehensive 2-0 win at Emirates Stadium where goals from Granit Xhaka and Danny Welbeck sent Arsenal on their way to pick up three points. The game against Southampton represents a different type of task as Claude Puel’s side technically do not have a Europa League place to play for which means rotation in the Frenchman’s side is likely after Sunday’s stalemate with Liverpool at Anfield....

The Gunners boss announced that he will be leaving at the end of the season one week before Thursday night’s Europa League semi-final first leg against Atletico Madrid in north London. Those who expected the surprise announcement would inspire his inconsistent Arsenal side were right, as the Gunners turned in a strong performance for much of the game. But 82 minutes in, a Laurent Koscielny mix-up and an attempted Shkodran Mustafi interception that turned into a slip gave Antoine Griezmann the perfect opportunity to score....

The Gunners found themselves in the same group as the German giants last term, winning 2-0 at the Emirates but going down 5-1 away from home. They also met at this stage in 2012-13 and 2013-14, with Bayern progressing on both occasions. City made it to the semi-finals of the competition in 2015-16, defeating French opposition along the way in the form of PSG, and will be looking to stake another serious claim for the famous trophy under Pep Guardiola....

The Gunners were all over Chelsea from the opening whistle with aggressive and direct play and the tone was set by center forward Gabriel Jesus who scored the opening goal after Chelsea were turned over in their own half. A similar quick-fire move led to Martin Odegaard’s strike as Arsenal entered halftime up 2-0. Chelsea changed its formation back to its customary 3-4-3 to start the second half and things looked better early on, but they could not find a goal as last season’s scoring troubles continued to haunt the Blues....
