Dear Graham L ast year, my husband of 24 years announced that not only was he having an affair behind my back, but that he had hidden his cross-dressing from me for our entire married life. With our divorce almost final, I have accepted that this other woman is now in his life permanently (she “accidentally” got pregnant).

Juventus were interested in the midfielder until the last minute, but Jose Mourinho has finally managed to tie down his man onto a four-year deal

The Sarcelles-born player spent last season with his hometown club in France’s amateur ranks, and he was previously with Paris Saint-Germain, though he departed the Ligue 1 runners-up amid fears that he would not have enough game time at the Parc des Princes.
