USA Update

MARRIED At First Sight was thrown into chaos tonight after ANOTHER bride stormed out of the dinner party – just minutes after meeting other couples for the first time.

Hannah and Stephen, 33, are one of the new couples who tied the knot earlier this week on the E4 show.

The pair appeared to hit it off on their wedding day, but their honeymoon went down hill very quickly.

This evening’s episode of MAFS saw the pair meet the rest of the cast, as well as the other two new couples Sionainn, 29, and Ryan, 28, and Amy, 27, and Luke, 30.

The two made it very clear after meeting their new co-stars that they haven’t been getting on – and things reached boiling point when they sat down for dinner.

Polly asked the pair what they have been arguing about, to which Hannah replied: “Ask him.”

Stephen explained: “We were going to go for dinner and then Hannah was like I don’t want to go for dinner.”

Hannah interrupted and said: “Hang on a minute that’s not what I said. I said ‘I’m not overly hungry’. Do you fancy getting a drink instead?'”

Stephen then said: “I feel bad for Hannah because she felt rejected from it. It wasn’t a rejection. It really wasn’t a rejection.”

Polly then asked the couple if they think that they can be together.

“I hope so!,” Stephen replied.

Hannah said: “If I get the guy back that I married. Not the one now. You’ve never said any of this to me…

“You’ve just sat here and said I do see how she’s been rejected and I don’t want to feel like that, but you’ve never said that to my face.”

But Stephen wasn’t having any of it and told her that he had.

Hannah started to get up and said: “What is the f***ing point in this s***? I’m not going to sit next to someone that can’t even look at me.

“I feel like I’m banging my head against a brick wall.”

It’s not the first time that Hannah has stormed off.

The newlyweds clashed during their honeymoon in the Dominican Republic when Hannah told Stephen that she didn’t want to go for dinner.

The two tried to talk things out, but got worse when Hannah threatened to expose a secret about Stephen’s family in front of the cameras.

“Don’t you dare go down that route!” Stephen shouted, as they rowed outside their hotel.

He then admitted to the cameras that the secret was about his family – which left fans wondering what it could have been about.

Later on in that episode after cooling off, they meet for some food – and things come to a head again.

“Don’t make promises you can’t keep because I’d have said f***ing no,” yelled Hannah.

Stephen then stands up and says: “Alright, we’re done then. Happy?

“Does that make you feel better?”

Clearly unable to iron out their issues, Hannah gets up and leaves – shouting: “You chat s*** mate.”

In the same conversation he ‘mugged her off’ after telling her that he wanted to stay in separate rooms again.

He told her: “Moving forward tonight for me, this nothing against you, but I am going to stay on my own again.

“I’ve got a lot of things going on in my head right now, I’ve got a lot of thinking to do.

To which Hannah replied: “It just feels like everything is my fault.”

Stephen then said: “I just need to be in my own thoughts.

Hannah snapped back: “That just tells me that you don’t want to make this work.”

ALTHOUGH this was the night when England’s embarrassment of riches in attack was put on full show, here was a stark reminder that the nation remains unbelievably thin in quality at the back.

Central defenders, full-backs and even the goalkeeper. Right across the board, England have some major issues.

It saw an experimental Lee Carsley team fall to a shock 2-1 defeat at Wembley[/caption]

John Stones captained England for the first time in the absence of Harry Kane and this is not a night he will look back at with any fondness.

Stones was one of three players – along with Trent Alexander-Arnold and Cole Palmer – who could have done better for Greece’s opening goal through Vangelis Pavlidis.

Along with Levi Colwill, he was also lucky that Pavlidis’ strike towards the end was ruled offside as both players were at fault.

Yet right at the end. When Pavlidis struck again for the winner, Stones – along with Rico Lewis – could have done much better.

The options for Lee Carsley – and whoever takes this team forward over the next two years – are not exactly mind-blowing when it comes to strength in depth across the back.

Over the last couple of years, we should have seen this issue coming. But there has been too much focus on what we could do at the other end of the pitch.

This was Stones’ 82nd cap, meaning he has now overtaken former defender Rio Ferdinand in England appearances. He is now joint 17th on the all-time list with Raheem Sterling.

The Yorkshireman is even more important to the England team than Ferdinand ever was purely because the former Manchester United defender had John Terry, Sol Campbell, Ledley King and Jamie Carragher as international colleagues.

With Harry Maguire axed from the squad before suffering an injury, and Ezri Konsa also forced to withdraw with a knock, Stones played next to Chelsea’s Levi Colwill who did okay.

Yet Stones’ lack of games for Manchester City is a huge worry and this could harm England over the next two seasons.

He enjoyed a decent Euros in Germany even though this followed the most difficult season of his club career when form and injuries limited him to just 12 starts in the Premier League.

And this season, despite playing a part in other competitions for Pep Guardiola, Stones has only started one top-flight match this term.

There were times against the Greeks when Stones found himself exposed as England did their Harlem Globetrotters impression.

It was a mix-up between Stones and Jordan Pickford which presented a chance to Tasos Bakasetas yet Colwill dashed back to deliver a heroic goal-line clearance.

But as for the goals – along with the disallowed ones – Wembley witnessed some Car-crash.

Here was the proof, not that we needed it, that left-back is also a huge problem.

Although happy to play there, Lewis considers himself as a midfielder. Colwill can also play in that spot but he is more comfortable in central defence.

Even at right-back, where we seemed to be spoilt for choice, there are concerns.

Carsley clearly considers Alexander-Arnold as the team’s first-choice right-back even though Gareth Southgate listed him as a midfielder.

Alexander-Arnold, though, was guilty of allowing Pavlidis to brush past him too easily for the opening goal and it was not the only time he was caught out.

Kyle Walker, who did not make the England squad last month, will probably start against Finland but he will be 36 at the next World Cup.

While Pickford has been England’s best keeper by some distance over the years, he was properly dodgy in this Greek humiliation.

Yet the alternatives are Dean Henderson and Nick Pope, along with Aaron Ramsdale. All are decent keepers but neither are going to challenge the Everton keeper.

Now, there is a real chance England might have to go into a Nations League play-off in March as they might not win the group.

AS MESSAGES go, it was pretty clear.

None of those subtle mind games journalists must turn to when they have failed to shoehorn a line out of some dullard manager who has said nothing in a press conference.

Enzo Maresca could finally be the tough manager Chelsea need[/caption]

Rex

Co-owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali had chopped and changed[/caption]

But then Enzo Maresca doesn’t do dodging and weaving in the public eye. He says it how it is in a calm, clipped manner.

And it’s straight to the point.

Like his curt and curious response to one innocent questioner asking whether Chelsea is his chance to forge a reputation for himself as a Premier League manager.

Neither Maresca’s tone nor his expression wavered as he replied: “I have a wife, four kids and a  mum and dad. I have a reputation already.”

Blunt if a little weird, right?

So when Chelsea’s fifth manager in 2½ years declared his steadily rejuvenating team are nowhere near as good as Manchester City or Arsenal because they have stuck by their respective managers, he was simply talking sense.

He was also telling his bosses at Stamford Bridge in no uncertain terms the sackings must stop if they want to get the club back to where they enjoyed so many trophy-laden seasons.

Some of his predecessors said the same and everyone else in the room rolled their eyes.

Mykhailo Mudryk has had little Prem action under Maresca and even saw Jadon Sancho arrive in effect as a like-for-like replacement[/caption]

FOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALS

When Maresca declared just a couple of weeks into the job that “I call the shots”, we yawned.

Yet there is a growing sense Maresca might be the man to finally tame Chelsea’s Wild West owners — the American-led posse of investment specialists and financiers who think they know everything but know very little about actual football.

He is spot on that his team is a long way back from City and Arsenal.
Sunday’s scrambled 1-1 draw at home to ten-man Nottingham Forest confirms that.

Chelsea occupy fourth place in the Premier League mainly by default because Tottenham, Newcastle and particularly Manchester United, are so unpredictable.

Yet it doesn’t take 20-20 vision to catch a glimpse of Maresca’s hand at work as he backs up his strong words with deeds.

Nowhere is that more noticeable than in Mykhailo Mudryk’s plight.
The winger is expected to start Ukraine’s Nations League game with Georgia tonight.

Yet he has started only one Premier League game for Chelsea since the back end of August and is slowly but surely sliding down the ladder of importance under Maresca.

It happens to most players at some point.

Only Mudryk, 23, was a symbol of the new Chelsea — an expensive showpiece signing snared after a protracted chase at the behest of Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali, when they were feeling their way in the transfer market.

The cynical view is that the main attraction was purely that Arsenal wanted Mudryk too.

Thus starry-eyed Chelsea swooped simply to beat a rival, because that’s how they perceived business should be done.

Whatever the truth, it cost an upfront £62million, plus add-ons.

A new manager ditching a chairman’s marquee signing so unceremoniously takes balls.

But now Mudryk can’t get anywhere near the first team for ­Premier League games.

Ironically, he has played more minutes under Maresca than any other Chelsea boss . . . just not in the games that matter.

Instead it has been the Conference League and a starring role against Barrow in the Carabao Cup.

For a new manager to ditch a chairman’s marquee signing so unceremoniously takes balls.

Not only that, he brought in Jadon Sancho to play in Mudryk’s position.

A one-two combo Sugar Ray Robinson would have been proud of.
No subtle psychology either. Mudryk’s out and my man’s in — so Behdad and Boehly must suck it up.

And they seem to be.

Maresca has since gone on to surgically dissect his entire squad — one for the Premier League and one for everything else.

It’s up to those in the cup squad to impress their way on to Maresca’s A-list and for those in it to do enough to stay there. Simple and effective.

Common sense at Chelsea? It will never catch on.

It’s a win-win

WE have finally reached a point in football where both sides claim to have won.

The hubris-driven reactions of Manchester City and the Premier League to their latest courtroom battle over dodgy dealings added to the confusion for many.

Getty

Pep Guardiola’s Man City and the Prem both claimed victory[/caption]

Yet it may well have inadvertently opened up a whole new approach to the beautiful game in  a world where winning means big-time wonga.

Imagine a sport where nobody loses? Where the result doesn’t matter because you can simply say ‘I won’ and everybody else is so bloody confused that they can’t be a***d to argue.

Sounds ludicrous. But a few years ago we’d have said that about VAR, a Champions League where you don’t have to be a champion to play in it, the 39th game, kick-offs at 8pm on a Saturday, £100 a ticket, cup competitions loaded to favour the big teams, players on £500k a week and half- and-half scarves.

Oh, and £25 for a bobble hat in some club shops, which I saw a few weeks back. Still only one winner there.

Judges out in a blazer glory

WIMBLEDON dole office will be busier than usual in July when queues of redundant line judges start signing on.

The All England Club’s switch over to automated, eagle-eyed, infallible technology to spot whether a ball is in or out means it’s curtains for around 300 of them.

Wimbledon line judges might be queuing up elsewhere next summer[/caption]

Wimbledon say they are behind the times when it comes to moving over to AI instead of actual humans to make the big calls and stress they will do their best to find the officials alternative employment.

Even so, look out next summer for a Centre Court full of second-hand £900 Ralph Lauren official Wimbo blazers being offered for sale on Vinted.

Pore decision

I’M all for revolting fans — but the daftest demo  must go to the Spanish couple who got themselves in bother in Singapore for having a pop at Valencia owner Peter Lim by holding up a ‘Lim Go Home’ banner outside his house. Er . . .

   No-one else up to scratch

IT’S farewell to Rafa Nadal, the man who made wedgie-wiggling a sport in its own right.

The Spaniard retires next month after 22 Slam wins.

When we’re no longer able to focus on his bizarre habit of sticking his fingers into his backside and his nose-pulling and ear-scratching routine, we’ll just have to watch the tennis. Grim.

A MAJOR grocery chain that is also Aldi’s rival has opened another US store despite struggles – but some shoppers say they “don’t understand the hype”.

Lidl is continuing to open stores across the US – and shoppers have formed very lengthy queues outside stores during their grand openings.

Lidl is Aldi’s rival[/caption]

Lidl US has announced its grand opening of a new store in the Bronx, New York on October 23.

The store will be located at 700 Exterior St., Bronx, NY 10451 – and by the reaction to some previous Lidl US openings, people can’t wait.

Local leaders will welcome Lidl US to the community at a ribbon cutting event starting early at 7:40 am.

This will then be followed by a grand opening celebration featuring special offers for shoppers.

The store will operate daily from 8am to 10pm.

The new location is part of Lidl US’ ever-growing store network in the New York City area.

Other nearby Lidl US stores in New York include locations in Harlem, Glen Oaks, and Weehawken to name a few.

And this Lidl US store is even estimated to create around 48 new jobs.

At the grand opening event, the first 100 customers in line before the store opens at 8:00am will receive a special gift card ranging from $5 to an unbelievable $100 each.

Shoppers can also sample Lidl US’ assortment and take advantage of special giveaways.

In late September Lidl also opened a branch in Forsyth, Georgia, which had people queuing throughout the night for the grand reveal.

A user said on Facebook: “So what if I stood in line to go to a new grocery store.

“The guy I was talking to said it’s the largest Lidl they have.”

The shopper was also very happy with their purchases, thinking that this branch “have higher-end choices.”

But commenters were less than pleased at the post – and say they “don’t understand the hype”.

One user said: “It’s a grocery store people. Y’all have way too much free time on your hands.”

Another commented: “I don’t get it. Nothing would make me stand in line for groceries for sub par food.”

But others agreed with the user who made the post, with one shopper saying they “stood in line from 1am to 7:30 for their baguettes.”

Another added: “They have great deals and good quality products.”

IT might be worth double-checking your spare change for a nickel from a specific year, as it could be worth some serious money.

Certain aspects of the coin make it exceedingly rare and could help value it for several thousand dollars at auction.

Heritage Auctions

A 1985 nickel with some special details could be worth thousands[/caption]

Heritage Auctions

An aspect of the reverse side of the coin must be clearly defined[/caption]

The year to watch out for is 1985, and there should be a small “P” in the bottom right corner near former President Thomas Jefferson’s portrait on the obverse (heads) side of the nickel.

That identifies where it was minted — Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

In January, a 1985-P MS67+ Full Steps nickel sold for a whopping $9,066, according to a listing from Heritage Auctions.

The MS notation is for “Mint State,” and the number that follows it is a rating provided by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) that determines a coin’s condition.

The scale goes from 1-70, meaning the MS67 is a near-mint condition coin.

Additionally, the nickel was regarded as the “sole finest” to ever be discovered from 1985, according to the PCGS.

Appraisers noted minimal areas where the dye on the coin had faded over the years and praised its radiant “greenish gold, champagne, and lilac-blue hues.”

SEE THE STEPS?

On the reverse (tails) side of the 1985 nickel, which showed President Jefferson’s Monticello home in Virginia, appraisers emphasized that the steps leading up the residence were “razor sharp.”

The steps also have to do with the “Full Steps” notation in the grading of the coin and are a major part of its value.

It’s used in reference to there being five or six clear and visible steps leading to the Monticello residence.

The one that sold at auction for $9,066 not only had the steps, but it was a proof strike.

STRIKE SITUATION

Proof is used to reference the coin’s finish, per The United States Mint.

“Proof blanks are specially treated, hand-polished, and cleaned to ensure high-quality strikes,” an explanation from the Mint reads.

“The blanks are then fed into the presses fitted with specially polished dies and struck at least twice.”

This is different from what most coins are in circulation, which is known as a business strike.

Coins that receive a business strike are the ones ready for American commerce on a day-to-day basis.

They can still be very valuable, especially if they have errors.

Although finding a 1985 proof strike coin would likely be more valuable to collectors.

KEEP SEARCHING

There are also nickels from other years that you might want to watch out for.

Especially old versions, including one from 1879, can be worth up to $84,000 if they have a crucial “faint detail.”

An even older nickel minted in 1867 can get eager collectors up to $109,250 because of a “weak” quality.

Others minted in the 20th century can still bring in over $100,000, including a special “buffalo variation made from 1913 to 1938.

THE Los Angeles Lakers have reportedly decided on Bronny James’ status for the team’s season-opener versus the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The 20-year-old Bronny played alongside his dad LeBron James in a preseason game last week.

ESPN NBA insider Shams Charania appeared on Get Up! and discussed LeBron and Bronny.

The father-son duo played with each other in the Lakers’ preseason game last weekend.

Charania revealed that the Lakers are expected to play LeBron and Bronny together in the team’s season opener.

“We’re going to be seeing history very, very soon,” Charania reported.

“The expectation on the Lakers is that their debut together, the first father-son duo in the NBA history to play at the same time in a game, will be as soon as opening night.”

The potential Bronny decision by the Lakers comes after the USC product’s disappointing play in the Summer League and the preseason.

Most recently, he played with LeBron during the Lakers preseason game against the Phoenix Suns.

It was the first time that a father-son duo played alongside each other in NBA history.

However, Bronny missed a three-pointer and committed an offensive foul before getting called for a traveling violation.

Lakers head coach JJ Redick then subbed him out with less than eight minutes left in the third quarter.

Still, it might be smart for the team to play Bronny with LeBron in the first game of the season to get the distraction and media attention of the two playing together out of the way.

The Lakers could then place Bronny in the G-League where the guard can develop his skills.

There is concern that he isn’t ready to play in the NBA.

Bronny averaged less than five points per game, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.1 rebounds per contest during his freshman year at USC.

And he is a year removed from suffering a cardiac arrest during an offseason workout with the collegiate squad.

Still, LeBron can’t believe that he played alongside Bronny last weekend.

“Not real,” James said. “We’ll kind of get used to it, but it’s pretty cool.

“It’s pretty cool for the both of us, and especially for our family. It’s definitely a moment that I will never forget.”

Los Angeles has four more preseason games before their season-opener with the Minnesota Timberwolves on October 22.

TOM BRADY and Derek Jeter’s $22.5 million former Tampa Bay home has been battered by Hurricane Milton.

The NFL legend rented the sprawling seven bedroom home from the Yankees icon in 2020.

Derek Jeter owned the mansion, before he sold it for a staggering £22.5 million[/caption]

The 47-year-old lived in the house with ex-wife Gisele Bundchen, as he guided the Buccaneers to a shock Super Bowl win.

As carnage raged around it, the 30,000ft mansion was smashed by 120mph winds from the Category 3 storm.

Exclusive drone shots taken by The Sun U.S. show the backyard strewn with debris.

Fence panels lay destroyed and the swimming pool ruined from the raging rainfall.

The back area is decimated with trees smashed and the grass covered in unknown waste.

The top of the luxury mansion is weather worn, with other damage to fixtures and fittings.

The dock, attached to the Hillsborough Bay, also looked like it had been damaged.

However, it had a lucky escape compared to neighbors, whose homes were destroyed in the carnage of Milton.

At least eleven people are dead in the Florida region, with that toll feared to be rising on Thursday afternoon.

Brady lived in the house, based in the posh Davis Islands area of Tampa, in 2020 with Gisele, and their family.

He had been renting the property from MLB legend Derek Jeter, for around $75,000-a-month.

The Yankees iconic shortstop then sold the mansion in 2021, making a staggering $22.5 million from a legal trust.

He is thought to have bought it in 2017.

The custom English-style mansion has nine bathrooms, along with its seven bedrooms.

It also had an entertainment area, billiards room and other sections to amuse guests.

There is a swimming pool, that spans the whole way along the backyard, and a hot tub outside.

The dock is attached to the water, with two boat lifts to house a yacht.

Davis Island is a neighborhood sitting just off downtown Tampa.

And it just miles from Tropicana Field, which had its roofed ripped off by the hurricane.

The home of MLB team Tampa Bay Rays was near-destroyed, as it was housing first responders to the disaster.

Close by, the Raymond James Stadium, home of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, lays underwater.

It is understood there are plans to have the mansion bulldozed in the coming months.

The new owners want to build a fresh property on the land, which has exclusive celebrity neighbors.

The plans for the Bahama Circle complex would scale it down to a six bedroom place.

It would have nine full baths and eleven half baths, a gym and swimming pool.

The home will also have 345ft of waterfront space, taking three years to complete.

It is understood an anonymous local family will move it when it’s finished.
