Ex-Arsenal boss Unai Emery gives fan the finger after comments about his English and failed spell at Gunners
CHEEKY Unai Emery flipped the bird at football fans giving him stick in a hilarious comeback.
The former Arsenal manager failed to win over the Gunners fans with a tough 18-month spell at the Emirates.

As well as struggles on the pitch, many mercilessly trolled the Spaniard for his grasp of the English language.
However, he has very much proved his worth as a manager either side of his North London nightmare by winning the Europa League four times – including with Villarreal in 2021.
Supporters lined up outside St Mary’s yesterday after the LaLiga side’s 2-1 pre-season friendly win over Southampton.
As they asked for autographs, one said: “Can you say, ‘Unai Emery, good ebening,’” in reference to the way he always started press conferences.

Emery gave a polite smile and then one quipped: “Unai Emery I think you done very good at Arsenal.”
And the former Real Sociedad midfielder, 50, responded fantastically by sticking up his middle finger at the lads, who couldn’t believe what they saw.
To really rub it in, Emery waved the digit right in their faces, eyeballing the camera and nodding.
And fans on social media totally backed the Spaniard for his understandable reaction.

One said: “Good on him. He isn’t your monkey to do a trick. No respect at all. I couldn’t imagine doing that to someone my age let alone someone 20 years my senior.”
Another wrote: “Tbf imagine taking the time to learn a language just to be mocked.”
A third added: “Nah I’ve not seen a middle finger put up with so much distain in a long time.”
And a final user commented: “Fair play to him disrespectful little dweebs.”
Villarreal finished seventh in LaLiga last season and enjoyed a wonderful run to the Champions League semi-finals.

Arsenal technical director Edu, though, cited replacing Emery with compatriot Mikel Arteta as a major breakthrough in the club’s upward trajectory.
Edu told SunSport: “With all due respect, the project really started when we decided to change Unai.
“That was my first planning, to go to the board and explain the reason to go in a different direction. We needed to have a coach with a very clear plan and structure of how he wanted the team to play.
“We had to be really brave to change the coach in the middle of the season because a lot of internal people were telling me, ‘We’ve never done that before’.
“But if you’ve diagnosed that change is necessary, the decision has to be made quickly. It hurts but don’t postpone something that must be done.

“Then I started to interview coaches and as soon as I went to meet Mikel at his house, I could see this guy had a plan.
“And now he’s going to make the club’s life easier because with him as coach I could give Arsenal a five-year plan.”

Her daughter, Ocean, had her birthmark removed and is awaiting results[/caption]
Helen, from Liverpool, England, explained that the birthmark had changed shape and urged other parents to keep an eye on what might seemingly be an innocent birthmark after the ordeal.
The mum-of-two wrote on Instagram: “Hey guys, I just wanted to pop on here & explain a little what Ocean had done at @greatormondst in London.
“Ocean was born with a birthmark on her chest which never bothered her or us but over the past 6 months, a black dot appeared which grew bigger & darker along with her birthmark (it’s really changed shape since she was born).
“I took her to the doctors about it who were a little unsure what it was, so they advised us to get it removed & have a biopsy on it so here we are today in London visiting for 2 days. She was so brave & is recovering so well.”

Helen said the process was completely worth it and extremely quick – taking a month from the initial doctor’s checkup to the mole’s removal.
She added: “I just wanted to make parents aware if you ever have doubts please please go see a doctor and get some advice. Ocean is absolutely fine & still her cheeky happy self,” she said.
“I just wanted to thank all the nurses and doctors at Great Ormond Street, they were absolutely wonderful, so kind & helpful I trusted them with my daughter & they didn’t disappoint so thank you.”
Helen is still waiting on the test results and said she would update followers when the family knows more.

Parents were quick to send supportive messages to the family in the comments section of the post.
One wrote: “What a brave girl. Well done for trusting your instincts x”
Another commented: “Thank you for sharing and educating parents.”
This happened to me when I was a baby,” shared another user. “They removed if from my face. I don’t remember any of it [and] she probably won’t.”
Meanwhile, a fourth wrote: “My baby has a strawberry birth mark under her chin, it’s deffo got bigger in 8 months but keeping an eye on it. Thank you for the awareness.”
The NHS website recommends seeing your GP if you are worried about a birthmark for whatever reason.

I’ve worked in the skincare industry for years- 5 things that I will never do & why anti-ageing creams are a big no-no
A SKINCARE whizz has revealed the common habits she will never to do her skin – and it’s bad news if your routine involves countless of different products.
Skincare – some like to keep it simple, others follow a dedicated nine-step routine every night without a fail, and one expert, Cia Eclectica, belongs to the first group.
Although the beauty industry is full of numerous skincare Dos most of us will deem as musts, there are a few things the professional will never do to her skin.
Care about ageing
With expensive Botox treatments and serums for tackling the appearance of fine lines, the anti-ageing industry is set to be worth close to £100 billion by the year of 2030.
But although for many remaining a youthful appearance is a goal they strive for no matter what, Cia is definitely not amongst them.
”Having seen the anti-ageing industry from behind the scenes, I don’t want anything to have to do with it.

She explained in the video: ”I think it’s full of fearmongering and lies and manipulation.
”I want to use products that will support my skin at, like, different stages in my life but I am not interested in looking younger.
”I just want to look like me.”
Too many products
”Some people can use a million-step routine and have a wonderful, glowing skin, but a lot of people can’t.

”Their skin gets overloaded by all the different ingredients that are being used in it.”
Another common habit is using different products and ingredients on different days throughout the week – this, according to her, can cause irritation for some.

”For me at least, my super simple routine of serum, moisturiser, sunscreen – my skin’s never looked better.”
Sun protection
Summer is now in full force and many of us have already incorporated SPF back into our routines.
But according to experts, such as Cia, this is an important step to never skip on any day, whether it’s sunny or not.
”It is the best thing you can do for your skin and the most important product that skincare companies create.”
Harsh products
Those who have an oilier skin type or are prone to spots often find themselves reaching for harsh products – but according to Cia, this is a no-no.
”99 times out of a hundred, your skin actually needs gentle TLC, rather than, like, a toner that’s just gonna strip everything off it.”
She explained that having been layered with layers of harsh products, your skin will, in fact, try to protect itself by creating more oil, leading to breakouts and painful spots.
Overconsuming products
”You do not need a million products on your shelf to choose from each time you go to do your skincare routine.

”You should have a simple, consistent routine that consists of a few products that you can use to meet your skin’s needs in as few steps as possible.”
Not only is overconsuming products bad for your skin, but also, she pointed out, not environmentally-friendly and will also leave you with a hole in your bank account.
There’s a reason why bus seats always have garish patterns, and it’s absolutely disgusting
UNLESS you’re lucky enough to have your own chauffeur the likelihood is that you have travelled by bus before.
And unless you were engrossed in a particularly good book it is hard to avoid the garish patterns that cover the seats on almost every bus.
Ever wondered why the patterns on the bus seats are so garish? Well there’s a very good reason[/caption]
While the design choice may seem a little… er, dated, there is apparently a very good reason for the busy print.
According to LadBible the bus seats are designed using “complex mind-reading algorithms” that cause our brains to become distracted by the busy patterns.
What are they distracting you from? Well the answer is quite simple (and gross.)
The patterns are designed to be this busy so that passengers don’t notice just how mucky the seats really are.
on Transport
With hundreds of passengers riding the bus each day, stains and spills are inevitable but far less visible on a fabric that isn’t plain.
But that isn’t the only reason.
You may have noticed that bus seats have a rather odd, almost carpet-like texture and this serves a purpose too.
Harriet Wallace-Jones, co-founder of Wallace Sewell – the design studio that designs fabrics for Transport for London, says that wool is “naturally flame retardant, and moquette is a pile fabric which has more durability than a flat woven cloth.

“The fabric is usually a mix of cut and uncut pile, which also makes it more durable.”
So there you have it – might be worth washing your hands next time you get off the bus.

I’m a waitress and here’s why I always give the man the bill – not everyone agrees
A WAITRESS has sparked fiery debate after revealing she always hands the man the bill when she spots couples on dates.
Kaylee Zuniga said she doesn’t even take a moment to ask whether the pair will be splitting the cost as she believes women deserve “princess treatment”.

She shared her thoughts in a TikTok clip that has been viewed more than 1.3million times.
Kaylee told her followers: “When you’re serving a couple so you automatically give the bill to the man without even asking if they’re going to split it because my girlies deserve nothing less than princess treatment.”
But it has left viewers divided – with some branding the gesture “sexist”.
One person wrote: “It’s also normal now to pay half and half.

“I would never go out expecting someone to pay for me.
“I’m dating him too, you wine and dine each other.”
A second said: “My mum can’t stand this.
“She will b***h out any waiter or waitress that does this because it’s sexist to assume the man is paying.”

And a third commented: “You don’t even know if it’s a first date.
“First date is different. Just sharing my opinion.”
But others rushed to defend Kaylee.
One viewer said: “All my waitresses do this and y’all have a special place in my heart.”
Another wrote: “No but I actually get so offended when the server asks if we need one check or two.
“Like hunny there is a ring on this finger, go get his check?!”
A third responded: “I love when they do this lmao.”
It comes after another waitress revealed how customers make some very awkward requests.
She said that some diners request to pay for the exact amount they ate – rather than just splitting the bill 50/50.
Acting out her encounter with a customer on her TikTok channel, she told how one woman wanted to pay for the exact amount of bites of food she had.

Posting under the username @snerixx, she explained that when a customer asked to split the bill, she told her she could split it 50/50 for them or 25/75 – but the guest was much more specific.
Mimicking the guest’s response she said: “Well I know personally, I had three out of those eight mozzarella sticks, and I had about a quarter of the chips over there so if you could just split it that way.”

Marnie Simpson was joined by her partner, former Union J star Casey Johnson, who carried their two year old son Rex.
Lauren spoke about the preparations for Larose on Instagram, writing: “Just wrapped @BABYLAROSE presents and my Lorena was with me in my heart the whole time with her candle lit.
“Very emotional evening for Mummy, but can’t wait to see my big girl in the morning.”
Lauren has spoken out about her recent tragedy and revealed how Lorena’s umbilical cord is thought to have been knotted twice in a “rare” turn of events which led to her death.

Knots in the cord can restrict blood flow and oxygen to the baby, and put them at risk of serious harm or in severe cases, stillbirth.
Lauren told New magazine: “No one knew about the knots in the cord, all we’ve been told is that it’s very uncommon to have two knots.
“I was a low-risk pregnancy. There was no sign of any problems. A few hours before she was born, she was going to be absolutely fine, that’s what it is so heartbreaking.”

Lauren also explained that she still “has a bit of a bump” which often has sometimes tricked into thinking her baby girl is “still there”.
“I’ve still got a bit of a bump, this one’s not shifting,” she explained of her recovering body after the traumatic birth of baby Lorena.
“It sometimes feels like she’s still there, it’s weird. My body feels like it’s unsettled, like it’s missing a newborn.”
