With design roots dating back to the 17th century, loveseats originated as additional seating for women wearing the large hoop-skirt fashion of the time. It eventually transitioned into appropriately intimate locales for smitten courters, giving the two-seater sofa its sweet namesake. With all fashion and romance origins set aside, the compact couches are major modern-day solutions for small-space furnishing — especially where style, budget, and sizing strike.

BBC presenter Nicky Campbell has highlighted the sexist attitudes surrounding the Women’s World Cup after posting some of the messages he’d been sent during his radio show. Campbell had been discussing the tournament on his BBC Radio 5 Live programme. It began on Thursday morning (July 20), with co-hosts New Zealand pulling off a shock 1-0 victory over Norway. The Women’s World Cup is taking place Down Under this summer, and despite the fact that more eyes than ever before will be on the women’s game, sadly not everyone is going to be supporting the tournament. Campbell posted a selection of messages he had been sent during the course of his show, labelling the people who sent them “dinosaurs”.

Not ‘everyone’ thinks it’s great, it’s just the way it’s promoted, U guys always have to praise it up.” Replied with a picture of a dinosaur, and commented: “Not many of these ones but hilarious texts on women’s football this morning.” Thankfully, there are plenty of people excited to support their national side during the tournament, with all eyes on the road to the final on August 20. Sarina Wiegman’s England side are looking to add the World Cup to their collection after victory in the Euros in 2022, but they’ll have to do so despite a number of injuries to key players in the squad.

Manchester United secured qualification for next season’s Champions League as Erik ten Hag’s men roared to a comprehensive 4-1 victory against wasteful Chelsea. The Dutchman has led the Red Devils to Carabao Cup glory and next month’s FA Cup final during a promising first season that looked certain to end in a top-four finish until a recent wobble. But Ten Hag has righted the ship and United secured a return to European football’s top table with a game to spare as Casemiro, Anthony Martial, Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford scored against toothless Chelsea. This was a club record 16th defeat in a 38-match Premier League season for Frank Lampard’s Blues, who saw a bad early Mykhailo Mudryk miss punished by a sixth minute Casemiro header. Further Chelsea chances went begging across the evening, including the miss by Conor Gallagher in first half stoppage time that was followed by Martial scoring. Bruno Fernandes’ penalty and substitute Marcus Rashford’s goal – his 30th of the season in all competitions – wrapped up a victory that was only dampened by Antony’s exit on a stretcher and a late Joao Felix consolation.
