Did Jurgen Klopp tell Newcastle's Jason Tindall to 'shush' during heated Liverpool clash?
Did Jurgen Klopp tell Newcastle's Jason Tindall to 'shush' during heated Liverpool clash?
An image of Jurgen Klopp appearing to shush Newcastle United's assistant manager Jason Tindall has gone viral but there is a catch. Liverpool claimed what felt like an unlikely three points at St James' Park on Sunday in a thrilling 1-2 victory over the Magpies. The Reds had a torrid first half on Tyneside having gone down 1-0 in the 25th minute to a well-taken by Anthony Gordon. Liverpool's misery was compounded just three minutes later when their captain, Virgil van Dijk, was sent off for appearing to bring down Alexander Isak as the Swedish striker was bearing down on goal. Despite being under the cosh for the majority of the match and seeing numerous Newcastle shots rattle the woodwork, Liverpool somehow managed to win as Uruguayan striker Darwin Nunez scored twice in the final 12 minutes to secure the win for his side. However, the biggest talking point of the match was arguably the spat between Klopp and Tindall with the latter shushing the German coach at one stage by putting his finger to his lips. Tindall has made something of a name for himself in recent months by making himself the centre of attention at the club and this incident is unlikely to dampen his reputation. However, an image of Klopp appearing to return the shush has since gone viral on social media. Although it is very well made this is just a great bit of photoshopping. If you study the picture of Klopp, you can see the name 'Lewvissualss' tagged on one of the Liverpool coaching staff in the background of the shot. The Twitter account behind the hijinx also fessed up to the prank and provided the image that had been edited. In the build-up to Sunday's game Klopp had taken a swipe at Tindall suggesting that he might struggle with the new rules which prevent assistants from standing at the front of the area. The former Borussia Dortmund manager said: "It's like that in the Champions League anyway. I think it's only a problem for one team: Newcastle. Sorry!" Newcastle's Eddie Howe responded in the press conference before the game by saying: "I wouldn't say I laugh at the comments. Other people can have opinions. That's fine. I've got no issue with that. You just sort of roll with it, let it go and just talk about my team.” Liverpool now turn their attention to the visit of Aston Villa to Anfield on Sunday while Newcastle have an away trip to Brighton and Hove Albion to look forward to on Saturday.

Who is Gluck? The gender-non-conformist artist celebrated in today's Google Doodle
Who is Gluck? The gender-non-conformist artist celebrated in today's Google Doodle
Head to Google’s homepage today and you’ll see its primary-coloured logo transformed into an elaborate floral display, accompanied by an imposing, androgynous face. This face belongs to the pioneering British artist known only as Gluck, who is celebrated both for their iconic portraits and picture frame designs, and for their bold rejection of gender norms. Google has used its Doodle design to pay tribute to the trailblazing visionary on what would have been their 128th birthday. So what do we know about Gluck? And why was their work so important? Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Gluck was born Hannah Gluckstein in London on 13 August 1895 to a wealthy catering family. However, as they grew older, they rejected their full name – asking to be referred to simply as Gluck. They attended the prestigious St. Paul’s Girls’ School in Hammersmith before moving on to St John's Wood School of Art. During World War I, they moved to the village of Lamorna in Cornwall, which was known for its buzzing artists' community. There, Gluck began to defy gender norms and fashions, donning men’s clothes and sporting barbered hair. According to the Royal Academy of Art, they refused to identify with any artistic school or movement and so exhibited their work solely in “one-man shows”. They also wrote on the backs of publicity photos: “Please return in good condition to Gluck, no prefix, suffix or quotes.” And, as Google notes, when one art society identified Gluck as “Miss Gluck” on its letterhead, they immediately resigned. Still, despite what would have been eyebrow-raising practices at the time, Gluck earned popularity among their peers and the wider public. In 1932, Gluck designed and patented a three-tiered picture frame, which later became known as the Gluck frame. This traditionally matched the colour of the wall on which it hung, giving the illusion that the painting was part of the wall itself. But perhaps their most famous work was a double-portrait of Gluck and their lover Nesta Obermer, called ‘Medallion’. Gluck referred to the 1936 piece as the “YouWe” picture, which symbolised their spiritual, marital union with Obermer. They later explained that, on 23 June 1936, the couple had attended a production of Mozart’s Don Giovanni at Glyndebourne. Gluck felt that the intensity of the music fused them into one, inspiring the “YouWe” painting as a public declaration of love and commitment. “Now it is out,” they subsequently wrote to Obermer, “and to the rest of the Universe I call Beware! Beware! We are not to be trifled with.” Up until their relationship with Obermer, Gluck was better known for their still-lifes of flowers, which were inspired by arrangements created by their former lover, florist Constance Spry. After this affair ended and their relationship with Obermer blossomed in its place, Gluck’s subjects and style evolved, with the focus shifting to their alliance, which they saw as a true meeting of souls. In 1973, Gluck held their final exhibition, which debuted more than fifty paintings from across their career. As Google points out in the blurb to its Google tribute, Gluck refused to compromise artistically and personally, and their legacy continues to inspire artists to express themselves freely today.
