Liverpool would not cruise to title even with Alexander Isak
The Reds won the league by 10 points last season and have since splurged almost £300million on new signings. They have also had a £110m offer for Isak turned down by Newcastle, but the Sweden striker's future is still up in the air. Asked whether he thought Liverpool were likely to end up successful in their pursuit of Isak, Sky Sports pundit and former Reds defender Carragher said: 'Yeah, I think so, but I don't get this narrative of Liverpool are going to run away with it.' Carragher pointed to Liverpool's Community Shield defeat by Crystal Palace as evidence that the likes of Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez and Hugo Ekitike will take time to click. 'If you look at history, it could tell you that it's not just about having the best players, it's about having the best team, and sort of making that balance right, and at the weekend it didn't quite look right,' he said. 'I think we will have a title race, and I think there's a lot of talk. I think the great thing about football is what we actually saw on Sunday with Liverpool. It didn't look right. 'It tells me it's not just about spending lots of money and buying the best players, you've still got to manage that team and make it work and have a nice balance to it.' However, former Manchester United full-back Gary Neville believes landing Isak would make Liverpool big favourites to retain the title. 'Liverpool won it really comfortably last year and have had a great transfer window,' he said at the launch of Sky Sports' Premier League coverage. 'If they get Isak, which it looks like he's agitating for a move, then it will make them massive favourites. But Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea, I think will push them closer than last year.'

Premier League club in row with council over proposed housing near stadium
Premier League newcomers Sunderland have opposed plans to build houses near their Stadium of Light ground, saying development could have 'catastrophic consequences'. Chairman Kyril Louis-Dreyfus said the club will make formal objections to the city council's plans to allow for homes to be built in what had been a buffer zone around the stadium. Sunderland City Council has proposed that 600 homes, including maisonettes, townhouses and family homes, should be built south of the stadium, as part of a wider redevelopment of the city centre. Sunderland City Council chief executive Patrick Melia has insisted that the stadium was a 'key asset for the city' and the redevelopment plans would enhance fans' experience. Former chairman Sir Bob Murray, who oversaw the move from Roker Park to the 49,000-seat ground in 1997, called the change a 'disgrace'. He said the local authority had previously agreed protections which would prevent development near the stadium, thus allowing the club to increase capacity if needed, but that the city council had 'torn them up'. Sir Bob said having houses up close to the Stadium of Light risked hemming it in, which was the cause of the move from Roker Park. Mr Louis-Dreyfus has now spoken out against the plans as well. He said: 'As the custodian of Sunderland AFC, it is my duty to safeguard the future of our club. 'This includes the Stadium of Light – the beating heart of our city. 'Unfortunately, Sunderland City Council has recently taken steps relating to the Sheepfolds development that could have catastrophic operational consequences on our club and, by extension, our community. 'We are under no illusion that the city needs a more appropriate housing provision and support those endeavours fully. 'However, later this week we will be submitting a formal objection against the proposals relating to the Sheepfolds and I encourage all city stakeholders to come together and join us in protecting the future of our football club and the City of Sunderland. 'Together, we have limitless potential, but it will only be realised through delivering on a shared purpose and vision.' There were fears that having homes close to the stadium could impact its ability to host major concerts as well as block any future expansion plans. The Stadium of Light has hosted England games and was built on the site of the former Monkwearmouth Colliery. In response to the objections, council chief Mr Melia said: 'We are very much invested in the future of the Stadium of Light and recognise it as a key asset for the city. 'It is our view that the proposals set out for the Sheepfolds neighbourhoods will improve operations and fan experience in terms of match days and other events and we remain committed to working with SAFC in relation to their plans for the expansion of the Stadium of Light – we have held many discussions with Mr Louis-Dreyfus and his team to this effect. 'This consultation process provides a real opportunity for the public and stakeholders to share their thoughts with us as the local planning authority and we will consider all views and comments prior to determination of the application.'

Drawing of pet squirrel by King George III's would-be assassin to go on display
An illustration of a pet squirrel by the would-be assassin of King George III is to go on display for the first time at the world's oldest psychiatric hospital. The early 19th century drawing, which was accompanied by an ode about the pet, was created by James Hadfield and will be exhibited at Bethlem Museum Of The Mind in London. Hadfield attempted to shoot King George III at London's Drury Lane Theatre but missed and was arrested on the spot. Epitaph, Of My Poor Jack, Squirrel, is one of many pet epitaphs by Hadfield, who was a patient at Bethlem. He suffered delusions about the end of the world and became convinced he must sacrifice himself to save mankind. Parliament rushed through an act to ensure Hadfield was treated as a 'criminal lunatic' and consigned to Bethlem. Hadfield spent the remaining 41 years of his life in a cell at the hospital, where he was allowed pets and attracted many visitors, who he sold his epitaphs to. The piece is one of three versions the museum holds, with this version, which says Jack died in an accidental fall after being startled by a cat, having never been on display before. Following the attempted assassination in 1800, Hadfield's lawyer successfully argued that he was a 'religious maniac' who was 'incurably insane' and not responsible for his actions. The drawing will be displayed as part of an exhibition, Between Sleeping And Waking: Hospital Dreams And Visions. Also on show will be artwork by Boris Johnson's mother Charlotte Johnson Wahl, and the dream diaries of psychiatrist Dr Edward Hare. Colin Gale, director of Bethlem Museum Of The Mind, said: 'Between Sleeping And Waking has opened up exciting perspectives on artworks, many of which have been in storage for years. 'It is striking that an entire spectrum of dreams identified by sleep researchers is reflected within our museum's collections.' Between Sleeping And Waking: Hospital Dreams And Visions will run from August 14 to November 22 at the museum, and entry is free.
