She said : `` There was a poll conducted in the UK recently , and their popularity has plummeted completely .

Jamie Carragher has insisted that Liverpool and Manchester City are the only two sides capable of winning the Premier League title this season despite strong starts from a number of other teams .

"I still can't envisage anyone else besides Liverpool or Man City winning the league. I just can't see that," Carragher said.

@ @ @ @ @ the pressure on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer .
That Champions League defeat to the Turkish champions @ @ @ @ @ the Manchester United boss like never before , with Mauricio Pochettino suddenly and ominously hovering @ @ @ @ @ Solskjaer took his United side to Goodison Park having picked up just seven points from @ @ @ @ @ so far this season , less than half the total of their hosts .

Manchester United picked up a much needed 3-1 at Everton on Saturday thanks to a brace from man of the match Bruno Fernandes.
It was actually Everton who took the lead though, thanks to Bernard's sweet strike from just outside the penalty area after around 20 minutes.
The Red Devils equalised soon after with a fine header from Fernandes, while he was also the main culprit in their second, as he lifted the ball into the area, using Marcus Rashford as a decoy as Jordan Pickford was left powerless to prevent it finding the back of the net.
A scrappy second half ensued, but the United backline held unusually firm, with Harry Maguire putting in one of his best performances this season to nod everything away from David de Gea's goal.
And their persistence paid off as Edinson Cavani grabbed his first goal for the club in injury time to secure all three points.
Victory at Goodison Park will certainly ease the pressure on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, at least for now.
Everton: Pickford, Coleman, Holgate, Keane, Digne, Doucoure, Allan, Sigurdsson, Rodriguez, Calvert-Lewin, Bernard.
Subs: Mina, Tosun, Iwobi, Andre Gomes, Godfrey, Davies, Olsen.
Man Utd: De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw, McTominay, Fred, Mata, Bruno Fernandes, Rashford, Martial.
Subs: Pogba, Cavani, James, Henderson, Matic, van de Beek, Tuanzebe.

thedailymirror--2020-11-08--Read Joe Biden's historic victory speech in full as he pledges to unify USA

Joe Biden pledged to be `` a president who seeks not to divide but to unify '' in his first speech as United States president-elect .
During his speech , he spoke about his wife , children and the rest of his family who have been by his side , supporting him during the presidential campaign .
The Democratic candidate clinched victory after winning the key battleground of Pennsylvania on Saturday - some four days after polls closed - pushing him over the 270 electoral college votes threshold .
A little earlier , Mr Trump , who is refusing to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ any evidence - that Democrats are `` trying to steal the election '' , left the White House to play golf .
As the news broke on Saturday morning US time , many Americans took to the streets to express their joy after the knife-edge election .
What did you think of the speech ?
Let us know in the comments below Here is his prepared victory speech in full : My fellow Americans , the people of this nation have spoken .
They have delivered us a clear victory .
A convincing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the People . ''
We have won with the most votes ever cast for a presidential ticket in the history of this nation - 74 million .
I am humbled by the trust and confidence you have placed in me .
I pledge to be a President who seeks not to divide , but to unify .
Who does n't see Red and Blue states , but a United States .
And who will work with all my heart to win the confidence of the whole people .
For that is what America @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that is what our Administration will be about .
I sought this office to restore the soul of America .
To rebuild the backbone of the nation - the middle class .
To make America respected around the world again and to unite us here at home .
It is the honour of my lifetime that so many millions of Americans have voted for this vision .
And now the work of making this vision real is the task of our time .
As I said many times before , I 'm Jill @ @ @ @ @ @ @ here without the love and tireless support of Jill , Hunter , Ashley , all of our grandchildren and their spouses , and all our family .
They are my heart .
She has dedicated her life to education , but teaching is n't just what she does - it 's who she is .
For America 's educators , this is a great day : You 're going to have one of your own in the White House , and Jill is going to make a great First Lady .
And I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a fantastic vice president - Kamala Harris - who will make history as the first woman , first Black woman , first woman of South Asian descent , and first daughter of immigrants ever elected to national office in this country .
It 's long overdue , and we 're reminded tonight of all those who fought so hard for so many years to make this happen .
But once again , America has bent the arc of the moral universe towards justice .
Kamala , Doug - like it or not - @ @ @ @ @ @ @ honorary Bidens and there 's no way out .
To all those who volunteered , worked the polls in the middle of this pandemic , local election officials - you deserve a special thanks from this nation .
To my campaign team , and all the volunteers , to all those who gave so much of themselves to make this moment possible , I owe you everything .
And to all those who supported us : I am proud of the campaign we built and ran .
I am proud of the coalition @ @ @ @ @ @ @ most diverse in history .
And especially for those moments when this campaign was at its lowest - the African American community stood up again for me .
They always have my back , and I 'll have yours .
I said from the outset I wanted a campaign that represented America , and I think we did that .
Now that 's what I want the administration to look like .
And to those who voted for President Trump , I understand your disappointment tonight .
But now , let 's give @ @ @ @ @ @ @ time to put away the harsh rhetoric .
To see each other again .
To listen to each other again .
To make progress , we must stop treating our opponents as our enemy .
We are not enemies .
We are Americans .
The Bible tells us that to everything there is a season - a time to build , a time to reap , a time to sow .
And a time to heal .
This is the time to heal in America .
Now that the campaign is over - @ @ @ @ @ @ @ What is our mandate ?
I believe it is this : Americans have called on us to marshal the forces of decency and the forces of fairness .
To marshal the forces of science and the forces of hope in the great battles of our time .
The battle to control the virus .
The battle to secure your family 's health care .
The battle to achieve racial justice and root out systemic racism in this country .
The battle to save the climate .
The battle to restore decency , defend @ @ @ @ @ @ @ country a fair shot .
Our work begins with getting COVID under control .
We can not repair the economy , restore our vitality , or relish life 's most precious moments - hugging a grandchild , birthdays , weddings , graduations , all the moments that matter most to us - until we get this virus under control .
On Monday , I will name a group of leading scientists and experts as Transition Advisors to help take the Biden-Harris COVID plan and convert it into an action blueprint that starts on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will be built on a bedrock of science .
It will be constructed out of compassion , empathy , and concern .
I will spare no effort - or commitment - to turn this pandemic around .
I ran as a proud Democrat .
I will now be an American president .
I will work as hard for those who did n't vote for me - as those who did .
Let this grim era of demonization in America begin to end - here and now .
The refusal of Democrats and Republicans @ @ @ @ @ @ @ due to some mysterious force beyond our control .
It 's a decision .
It 's a choice we make .
And if we can decide not to cooperate , then we can decide to cooperate .
And I believe that this is part of the mandate from the American people .
They want us to cooperate .
That 's the choice I 'll make .
And I call on the Congress - Democrats and Republicans alike - to make that choice with me .
The American story is about the slow , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ no mistake : Too many dreams have been deferred for too long .
We must make the promise of the country real for everybody - no matter their race , their ethnicity , their faith , their identity , or their disability .
America has always been shaped by inflection points - by moments in time where we 've made hard decisions about who we are and what we want to be .
Lincoln in 1860 - coming to save the Union .
And twelve years ago - when Barack Obama made history @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , we can . ''
We stand again at an inflection point .
We have the opportunity to defeat despair and to build a nation of prosperity and purpose .
We can do it .
I know we can .
I 've long talked about the battle for the soul of America .
We must restore the soul of America .
Our nation is shaped by the constant battle between our better angels and our darkest impulses .
It is time for our better angels to prevail .
Tonight , the whole world @ @ @ @ @ @ @ our best America is a beacon for the globe .
And we lead not by the example of our power , but by the power of our example .
I 've always believed we can define America in one word : Possibilities .
That in America everyone should be given the opportunity to go as far as their dreams and God-given ability will take them .
You see , I believe in the possibility of this country .
We 're always looking ahead .
Ahead to an America that 's freer and more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ creates jobs with dignity and respect .
Ahead to an America that cures disease - like cancer and Alzheimer 's .
Ahead to an America that never leaves anyone behind .
Ahead to an America that never gives up , never gives in .
And we are a good people .
This is the United States of America .
And there has never been anything we have n't been able to do when we 've done it together .
In the last days of the campaign , I 've been thinking about a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and to my family , particularly my deceased son Beau .
It captures the faith that sustains me and which I believe sustains America .
And I hope it can provide some comfort and solace to the more than 230,000 families who have lost a loved one to this terrible virus this year .
My heart goes out to each and every one of you .
Hopefully this hymn gives you solace as well .
`` And He will raise you up on eagle 's wings , Bear you on the breath of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the sun , And hold you in the palm of His Hand . ''
And now , together - on eagle 's wings - we embark on the work that God and history have called upon us to do .
With full hearts and steady hands , with faith in America and in each other , with a love of country - and a thirst for justice - let us be the nation that we know we can be .
And may God protect our troops .

To all those who volunteered, worked the polls in the middle of this pandemic, local election officials - you deserve a special thanks from this nation.

To my campaign team, and all the volunteers, to all those who gave so much of themselves to make this moment possible, I owe you everything.
And to all those who supported us: I am proud of the campaign we built and ran. I am proud of the coalition we put together, the broadest and most diverse in history.
Democrats, Republicans and Independents.
Progressives, moderates and conservatives.
Young and old.
Urban, suburban and rural.
Gay, straight, transgender.
White. Latino. Asian. Native American.
And especially for those moments when this campaign was at its lowest - the African American community stood up again for me. They always have my back, and I'll have yours.
I said from the outset I wanted a campaign that represented America, and I think we did that. Now that's what I want the administration to look like.
And to those who voted for President Trump, I understand your disappointment tonight.
I've lost a couple of elections myself.

But now, let's give each other a chance.
It's time to put away the harsh rhetoric.
To lower the temperature.
To see each other again.
To listen to each other again.
To make progress, we must stop treating our opponents as our enemy.
We are not enemies. We are Americans.
The Bible tells us that to everything there is a season - a time to build, a time to reap, a time to sow. And a time to heal.
This is the time to heal in America.
Now that the campaign is over - what is the people's will? What is our mandate?
I believe it is this: Americans have called on us to marshal the forces of decency and the forces of fairness. To marshal the forces of science and the forces of hope in the great battles of our time.
The battle to control the virus.
The battle to build prosperity.
The battle to secure your family's health care.
The battle to achieve racial justice and root out systemic racism in this country.
The battle to save the climate.

The battle to restore decency, defend democracy, and give everybody in this country a fair shot.
Our work begins with getting COVID under control.
We cannot repair the economy, restore our vitality, or relish life's most precious moments - hugging a grandchild, birthdays, weddings, graduations, all the moments that matter most to us - until we get this virus under control.
On Monday, I will name a group of leading scientists and experts as Transition Advisors to help take the Biden-Harris COVID plan and convert it into an action blueprint that starts on January 20th, 2021.
That plan will be built on a bedrock of science. It will be constructed out of compassion, empathy, and concern.
I will spare no effort - or commitment - to turn this pandemic around.
I ran as a proud Democrat. I will now be an American president. I will work as hard for those who didn't vote for me - as those who did.
Let this grim era of demonization in America begin to end - here and now.
The refusal of Democrats and Republicans to cooperate with one another is not due to some mysterious force beyond our control.
It's a decision. It's a choice we make.
And if we can decide not to cooperate, then we can decide to cooperate. And I believe that this is part of the mandate from the American people. They want us to cooperate.
Image: Getty Images) Getty Images)
That's the choice I'll make. And I call on the Congress - Democrats and Republicans alike - to make that choice with me.
The American story is about the slow, yet steady widening of opportunity.
Make no mistake: Too many dreams have been deferred for too long.
We must make the promise of the country real for everybody - no matter their race, their ethnicity, their faith, their identity, or their disability.
America has always been shaped by inflection points - by moments in time where we've made hard decisions about who we are and what we want to be.
Lincoln in 1860 - coming to save the Union.
FDR in 1932 - promising a beleaguered country a New Deal.
JFK in 1960 - pledging a New Frontier.
And twelve years ago - when Barack Obama made history - and told us, "Yes, we can."
We stand again at an inflection point.
We have the opportunity to defeat despair and to build a nation of prosperity and purpose.
We can do it. I know we can.
I've long talked about the battle for the soul of America.
We must restore the soul of America.
Image: AFP via Getty Images) AFP via Getty Images)
Our nation is shaped by the constant battle between our better angels and our darkest impulses.
It is time for our better angels to prevail.
Tonight, the whole world is watching America. I believe at our best America is a beacon for the globe.
And we lead not by the example of our power, but by the power of our example.
I've always believed we can define America in one word: Possibilities.
That in America everyone should be given the opportunity to go as far as their dreams and God-given ability will take them.
You see, I believe in the possibility of this country.
We're always looking ahead.
Ahead to an America that's freer and more just.
Ahead to an America that creates jobs with dignity and respect.
Ahead to an America that cures disease - like cancer and Alzheimer's.
Ahead to an America that never leaves anyone behind.
Ahead to an America that never gives up, never gives in.
This is a great nation.
And we are a good people.
This is the United States of America.
And there has never been anything we haven't been able to do when we've done it together.
In the last days of the campaign, I've been thinking about a hymn that means a lot to me and to my family, particularly my deceased son Beau. It captures the faith that sustains me and which I believe sustains America.
And I hope it can provide some comfort and solace to the more than 230,000 families who have lost a loved one to this terrible virus this year. My heart goes out to each and every one of you. Hopefully this hymn gives you solace as well.
"And He will raise you up on eagle's wings,
Bear you on the breath of dawn,
Make you to shine like the sun,
And hold you in the palm of His Hand."
Image: AFP via Getty Images) AFP via Getty Images)
And now, together - on eagle's wings - we embark on the work that God and history have called upon us to do.
With full hearts and steady hands, with faith in America and in each other, with a love of country - and a thirst for justice - let us be the nation that we know we can be.
A nation united.
A nation strengthened.
A nation healed.
The United States of America.
God bless you.
And may God protect our troops.

The Children’s Society has been working with the government to get some of these measures in place.
Mark Russell, Chief Executive of The Children’s Society, said: "The coronavirus crisis has left many families facing financial hardship, so we welcome this package of support that will undoubtedly help many of those who are currently struggling to feed, clothe and keep their children warm.
“We are very pleased to see so much money going into local welfare assistance, The Children’s Society has long been campaigning for better provision of the scheme, to ensure families have somewhere to turn should they face serious money problems. With 80% of this money ring-fenced for food and essential items for families, this is a hugely welcome investment."

thedailymirror--2020-11-08--Trump will 'accept results of a free and fair election', White House says

Donald Trump will accept the result of a free and fair election , a White House official said .
The statement came despite the president having repeatedly claimed that the Democrats were trying to `` steal the election '' .
Trump has insisted he will contest the results of the election - which saw Joe Biden being elected as the 46th president of the United States - with his campaign launching a flurry of lawsuits in several states .
However the White House official , who wanted to remain anonymous , said the president 's administration is following all the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , who has spent months trying to undermine the election results with unproven allegations of fraud , pledged on Saturday to go forward with a legal strategy that he hopes will overturn state results that gave Biden the win in Tuesday 's vote .
Trump aides and Republican allies , while somewhat conflicted on how to proceed , largely supported his strategy or remained silent .
`` The simple fact is this election is far from over .
Joe Biden has not been certified as the winner of any states , let alone @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for mandatory recounts , or states where our campaign has valid and legitimate legal challenges that could determine the ultimate victor , '' Trump said in a statement released by his campaign around midday .
Biden crossed that crucial threshold on Saturday by winning the battleground state of Pennsylvania .
Kamala Harris , Joe Biden 's running mate , is one of the party 's most prominent figures and launched her own bid to become president last year .
Born in 1964 in Oakland , California , to a Jamaican-born father and Indian-born @ @ @ @ @ @ @ inspired to fight injustice by her mum , who was an activist and researcher .
After choosing Ms Harris as his running mate in August this year , Mr Biden praised her as `` smart , she 's tough , she 's experienced , she 's a proven fighter for the backbone of this country '' .
`` Kamala knows how to govern .
She knows how to make the hard calls .
She 's ready to do this job on day one , '' he said .
Kamala Harris and Joe Biden @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Saturday , November 7 , after the election results showed they will head into the White House in January .
Vice President-elect Kamala Harris took to the stage first , commencing the proceedings by reflecting on civil rights leader John Lewis .
She said : `` Congressman John Lewis , before his passing , wrote 'Democracy is not a state .
It is an act ' .
And what he meant , was that America 's democracy is not guaranteed .
`` It is only as strong as our willingness to fight for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ take it for granted . ''
She continued : `` Protecting our democracy takes struggle .
It takes sacrifice .
But there is joy in it .

A White House official said Trump's administration is following all the protocols relating to government transitions. But the president has often claimed Democrats are 'trying to steal the election'
Donald Trump will 'accept the results of a free and fair election', White House says
Donald Trump will accept the result of a free and fair election, a White House official said.
The statement came despite the president having repeatedly claimed that the Democrats were trying to "steal the election".
Trump has insisted he will contest the results of the election - which saw Joe Biden being elected as the 46th president of the United States - with his campaign launching a flurry of lawsuits in several states.
However the White House official, who wanted to remain anonymous, said the president's administration is following all the protocols relating to government transitions.
Trump, who has spent months trying to undermine the election results with unproven allegations of fraud, pledged on Saturday to go forward with a legal strategy that he hopes will overturn state results that gave Biden the win in Tuesday's vote.

Trump aides and Republican allies, while somewhat conflicted on how to proceed, largely supported his strategy or remained silent.
"The simple fact is this election is far from over. Joe Biden has not been certified as the winner of any states, let alone any of the highly contested states headed for mandatory recounts, or states where our campaign has valid and legitimate legal challenges that could determine the ultimate victor," Trump said in a statement released by his campaign around midday.
Biden crossed that crucial threshold on Saturday by winning the battleground state of Pennsylvania.

Kamala Harris, Joe Biden's running mate, is one of the party's most prominent figures and launched her own bid to become president last year.
Born in 1964 in Oakland, California, to a Jamaican-born father and Indian-born mother, Ms Harris said she was inspired to fight injustice by her mum, who was an activist and researcher.
After choosing Ms Harris as his running mate in August this year, Mr Biden praised her as "smart, she's tough, she's experienced, she's a proven fighter for the backbone of this country".
"Kamala knows how to govern. She knows how to make the hard calls. She's ready to do this job on day one," he said.

Kamala Harris and Joe Biden addressed the nation in the evening of Saturday, November 7, after the election results showed they will head into the White House in January.
Vice President-elect Kamala Harris took to the stage first, commencing the proceedings by reflecting on civil rights leader John Lewis.
She said: "Congressman John Lewis, before his passing, wrote 'Democracy is not a state. It is an act'. And what he meant, was that America's democracy is not guaranteed.
"It is only as strong as our willingness to fight for it. To guard it and never take it for granted."
She continued: "Protecting our democracy takes struggle. It takes sacrifice. But there is joy in it. And there is progress.
"Because we the people have the power to build a better future. And when our very democracy was on the ballot in this election, the very soul of America at stake, the world watching, you ushered in a new day for America."

Speaking after Ms Harris, Biden said: "The people of this nation have spoken. They've delivered us a clear victory, a convincing victory, a victory for you the people.
"We've won with the most votes ever cast in a presidential ticket in history."
He added: "We have won with the most votes ever cast for a presidential ticket in the history of this nation - 74 million.
"I am humbled by the trust and confidence you have placed in me.
"I pledge to be a President who seeks not to divide, but to unify.
"Who doesn't see Red and Blue states, but a United States."
