How new film Firebrand reframes history

Everyone wants to bring a wee mate with them on deadline day, right? This year, the end of the window actually threw up some fascinating storylines for some big names, including Jadon Sancho switching one frying pan for another, slightly less hot frying pan.

Marcus, Luke and Jim catch up with the best of the headlines. We discuss Raheem Sterling (and soon Harry Kane’s) move to Eng- I mean Arsenal. We also assess whether Sancho can reignite his career and whether Ivan Toney has killed his off once and for all after moving to Saudi Arabia. Plus - shockingly - someone actually, willingly signed Neal Maupay. Who knew?

Julianne Moore and Tilda Swinton star in Almodóvar's first English feature film

Everything looked so good for Everton but like all good horror films, it all went wrong in the end. Today, Marcus, Luke, Jim and Pete show a degree of sympathy towards Everton fans for the nightmare that they are currently living through.

Elsewhere, it was the same old story for Man United at home to Liverpool - at least Erik ten Hag won the FA Cup, though. Plus, there are mentions for Richard Keys, Hulk Hogan and the Motherwell Fan TV commentator. Welcome to Monday’s Football Ramble.

A trove of works by the overlooked painter, deemed “the largest single-artist private collection” of a German artist in the U.S., catches the attention of collectors and historians.

There is a familiar quality to the work of Otto Antoine. The German painter’s evocative depictions of early 20th-century Berlin show people in various states of motion amid solemn urban landmarks, portraying a society caught in the current of rapid, uncertain change. These scenes are rendered with bold brushwork that is recognizable and compelling, yet so embedded within a stylistic continuum that it threatens to occlude its authorship. 

A landmark discovery is poised to change that. An enormous collection of more than 200 works by Antoine has come onto the market, holding with it the potential to push the artist’s name from the precipice of obscurity into the pantheon of turn-of-the-century German painters. 

“This collection should be viewed as a unique, one-of-a-kind, historically intact treasure,” said Jacquelyn Delin McDonald, Ph.D., a lecturer at the University of Texas at Dallas and a specialist in lesser-known 19th and 20th-century European art. “It documents modern life, spanning decades of societal change.” 

Comprising 65 works in oil, 40 watercolors, and more than a hundred pencil drawings, it is, according to McDonald “the largest single-artist private collection of a German artist in the United States to my knowledge.”

As if earning a draw weren’t impressive enough, Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler has claimed that his team is disappointed they did not defeat Arsenal when both clubs met in the Premier League this afternoon.

The Gunners faced a Brighton side that has made a fantastic start to the season, and the Seagulls proved they are more than just a hyped opponent.

Mikel Arteta’s side were the favourites heading into the fixture, but everyone knew that Brighton was an opponent to take seriously.

The Seagulls capitalised on Declan Rice’s red card to secure a draw, and they could have won the game, having dominated the closing stages.

However, Arsenal held on, and Hurzeler believes his team could have done more. He later admitted that they would still accept a share of the spoils as a fair reward.

The Premier League has released a statement explaining why Declan Rice was sent off for a second bookable offense against Brighton.

The midfielder received his first red card as an Arsenal player after being judged to have tried to stop the restart of the game during the fixture.

Since Rice had already been cautioned earlier, the referee had no choice but to send him off.

However, replays showed that he did not make a deliberate attempt to block the restart, a view shared by most observers.

Despite this, the Premier League, in their explanation of the incident, insisted that Rice was cautioned for attempting to block the restart, which led to his second yellow card.

This week, Fox News was in a rare position: Covering its ass live on air.

Host Jesse Watters has a history of making misogynist remarks. But on Monday, he took it too far, apparently, by Fox’s low (low) standards. During a roundtable discussion, he made a vulgar remark about Vice President Kamala Harris, claiming she’d be “paralyzed in the Situation Room while the generals have their way with her.”

Fox News isn’t exactly known for issuing apologies or corrections—they paid almost $800 million in a settlement to avoid doing just that when Dominion, a voting machine company, sued Fox over its rampant 2020 election lies. But, as Mother Jones creator Kat Abughazaleh points out, the real question is how long can Fox indulge “smug assholes” like Watters without getting burned?
