The Brazilian completed a half-season loan move to the Magpies earlier this week, having struggled for first team opportunities at Stamford Bridge. After the switch, it became apparent that there was a conference between the duo, who were teammates at Chelsea before Atsu left for Newcastle in the summer. “I’m very happy that they’ve signed him. He’s a great lad and also a very good player,” Atsu told NUFC TV ahead of Newcastle’s FA Cup fourth-round tie against Chelsea on Sunday....

The alliance between the Survey Corp soldiers and the Marleyn soldiers was undoubtedly odd for many reasons. How could a group so at odds with one another be willing to work to stop Eren?

It was on this day in 1977 that light-hitting Indians second baseman Duane Kuiper connected off Steve Stone of the White Sox for his first and only major league home run in a career that spanned 12 years and 3,379 at-bats. Let’s pause and remember this epic moment in baseball history. Though Kuiper’s previous lack of homers was prolific, it wasn’t even close to the all-time record held by William Holbert, who played in the 1870s and ’80s and went 2,335 at-bats without ever homering....
