Jack Grealish wants his image from City celebration to be hung in the Louvre
Manchester City footballer Jack Grealish has called for an image of himself taken as he celebrated to club’s victory to be hung in a museum. Last night (12 June) football club Manchester City celebrated winning the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League with an open-top bus parade through the city centre. Despite torrential rain, it seems the spirits of both the City players and fans couldn’t be dampened as they celebrated winning the treble – the second time an English side has done it since Manchester United succeeded first in the 1998–99 season. In one image from the parade, Grealish was captured on top of the bus with his shirt off, his eyes closed and his arms outstretched in the rain. On his Twitter, Grealish shared the post along with the request for it to be hung in the Louvre, poking fun at his teammate Erling Haaland’s impression of John Stones’ Yorkshire accent. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter In the comments, it wasn’t only Manchester City fans who appreciated the “iconic” image. One person argued: “No matter your feelings about Man City, there is no denying that this is instantly one of the coldest football photos of the modern era.” “I'm not a City fan but you have to respect the level of this tweet,” another said. The parade rounded off days of celebration after Manchester City won the last trophy on Saturday (10 June), beating Inter Milan 1-0 in the Champions League final. Following their victory, Grealish was still up partying at 6 am the next morning while dressed in his football kit. Have your say in our news democracy.

Christian conservatives are accusing Cardi B of 'blasphemy' and being in the illuminati
Cardi B has showcased a new hairstyle, and some have accused the singer of ‘blasphemy’. The Grammy-winner unveiled a new look showing colourful crosses on her long blonde hair, with the caption “LET ME POP IT OFF !” and fans loved it, with the post racking up over 4 million likes. One fan commented: “Love this look”. “You look gorgeous,” wrote another. However, some were less than impressed with the rapper’s new style, with one Christian accusing the singer of ‘blasphemy’. “Stop blaspheming God and Jesus Christ,” they wrote. Another said, “y’all worship the devil” “Disrespecting the cross will not save your soul. Get right with Jesus now whilst he can still be found. Time is running out,” said another user. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Some also claimed that in the second photo Cardi B was referencing the Illuminati through her hand. “Y’all seen the second photo right is that not the illuminati”, commented one user. Another wrote: “Beware of illuminati”. This isn’t the first time Cardi B has upset conservatives. The release of her song 'WAP' with Megan Thee Stallion in 2020, upset many for its explicit lyrics. At the time, Republican congressional candidate James P. Bradley wrote: “Cardi B & Megan Thee Stallion are what happens when children are raised without God and without a strong father figure.” Ben Shapiro, a conservative political commentator also expressed disgust at the chart-topping song. “This is what the feminist movement was all about. It’s not really about women being treated as independent, full-rounded human beings.” He added, “And if you say anything different you’re a misogynist.” However, the star seemed unbothered but conservative’s reactions, tweeting: “I can’t believe conservatives soo mad about WAP.” And she’s probably thinking the same now.

Man United allow Antony to resume training despite assault investigations
Manchester United have decided Antony can resume training and will be allowed to play for the club during ongoing police inquiries after three women accused him of assault. The winger had taken a leave of absence, without being suspended by the club. He has missed United’s last four matches and will not feature in Saturday’s home game against Crystal Palace. His former partner, Gabriela Cavallin, made accusations of abuse in an interview with Brazilian newspaper UOL. Two further women, Rayssa de Freitas and Ingrid Lana, then made separate allegations against the 23-year-old. Antony has insisted he is innocent and has spoken to police in both Brazil and England. He voluntarily attended an interview with Greater Manchester Police on Thursday and submitted his phone for investigation. He also spoke to police in Sao Paulo in June and has not yet been arrested or charged in either country. United said in a statement: “Since allegations were first made in June, Antony has cooperated with police inquiries in both Brazil and the UK, and he continues to do so. “As Antony’s employer, Manchester United has decided that he will resume training at Carrington, and be available for selection, while police inquiries proceed. This will be kept under review pending further developments in the case. “As a club we condemn acts of violence and abuse. We recognise the importance of safeguarding all those involved in this situation, and acknowledge the impact these allegations have on survivors of abuse.” Manager Erik ten Hag stated Antony will return to training on Saturday and expects him to be fit. “I have to see but I think so,” he said in a press conference later in the afternoon. Cavallin claimed she was attacked by Antony last summer, when she was pregnant and before she suffered a miscarriage. She said the £86m signing had threatened to throw her out of a car and alleged the footballer punched and headbutted her in January 2023. Antony issued a statement on 10 September in which he said: “I want to reiterate my innocence of the things I have been accused of, and I will fully cooperate with the police to help them reach the truth.” Read More Antony return to Manchester United will not be a distraction – Erik ten Hag Erik ten Hag reveals cause of Manchester United’s injury woes Manchester United suffer another injury blow to defender

Pets pose a serious health threat that we've all been overlooking
While millions of people own cats and dogs and wouldn’t dream of getting rid of them, pets pose a health risk to humans that is massively overlooked, according to a new study. Since the Covid-19 pandemic swept the world with devastating impact, it has become evident how much of a risk new viruses can pose to our well-being. However, experts are warning that it is not just the wildlife trade or exotic animals that we should be concerned about, as pets could also be sources of zoonotic diseases (which jump from animals to humans). Back garden pets, house pets, working animals and even rodents and pests could host new viruses that could affect humans, according to a new study. It warns that the urbanisation of our habitats and climate change will have an impact on diseases and their dynamics. The study was shared in Science Translational Medicine and penned by disease ecologist Amandine Gamble along with a group of colleagues, who gave examples of how companion animals (aka pets) and stray animals carried a risk of zoonotic spillover. While the risk is thought to be small, experts warn it is significantly underappreciated, especially given the frequent proximity human beings have to pets and strays. The study said: “These animals can play critical roles in zoonotic spillover by enabling the maintenance of a zoonotic pathogen, facilitating its spatial spread, acting as a bridge between otherwise unconnected species, or providing particular opportunities for its evolution.” While the zoonotic spillover that caused Covid-19 sparked a global pandemic, any instance of infection that jumps from animal to human is known as a zoonotic, regardless of the numbers affected. Pet parrots are a known transmitter of the Chlamydia psittaci bacterium to humans. Elsewhere, bats and horses are also known sources of zoonotic diseases. In terms of common household pets, cats can act as a link to a number of fatal diseases. The experts explained: “Numbers of infections are low, but plague is endemic in 17 western U.S. states, and many of the small mammals on which cats prey carry Y. pestis. “Consequently, outdoor cats and cats with incomplete veterinary care, combined with human interaction, suggest that cat-transmitted plague can be considered an increasing public health risk.” They conclude that “it is critical to implement surveillance programs allowing us to track changes in pathogen dynamics”.
