For all the talk of Manchester United’s revival in recent weeks almost all of their Premier League victories at home have been unconvincing. But against Hull City at Old Trafford on Saturday they produced their most accomplished performance of the season, and it bodes well for Louis van Gaal’s evolution of this side. Against the likes of Crystal Palace, West Ham and Everton United haven’t effectively controlled matches on home turf, despite acquiring the points on all three occasions. That trio of victories came virtue of a world class-selection of players pushing the result over the line in the face of opposition frustration. On all three occasions endeavour and a little bit of luck were required to reach the desired result. In short, there was a lack of domination. After dismantling Hull, Van Gaal was at pains to use that word regularly in his post-match analysis, and with just cause. “We have dominated the game from the first minute to the last minute,” the Dutchman told reporters....

The traditional scrum of sharp elbows was notably less intense on Black Friday in the US this year. The crowds, gathering at the US's big shopping centres, appeared to have exhausted some of their shopping enthusiasm on Thursday. As last year, many retailers had opened their doors early to try to pull shoppers in ahead of rivals. "The consumer clearly enjoys shopping on Thanksgiving," said Target's chief executive, Brian Cornell. And, when opening the New York Stock Exchange for Friday's shortened day of trading, he welcomed the way the holiday season "has moved from an event on Black Friday morning to a multi-day event." Many shoppers headed straight to the shops whilst still digesting their Thanksgiving turkey on Thursday, forming queues outside Macy's by 6pm on what is becoming known as "grey Thursday".

Black Friday is the day following Thanksgiving Day in the United States(the fourth Thursday of November), often regarded as the beginning of the Christmas shopping season. In recent years, most major retailers have opened very early and offered promotional sales to kick off the holiday shopping season, similar to Boxing Daysales in many Commonwealth nations. Black Friday is not a holiday, but California and some other states observe "The Day After Thanksgiving" as a holiday for state government employees, sometimes in lieu of another federal holiday such as Columbus Day.

The General Superintendent of Deeper Life Bible Church, Pastor William Kumuyi, has urged Nigerians to critically examine the manifesto of those seeking elective offices. He said this would help to determine their suitability or otherwise for election in 2015. Kumuyi gave this advice while speaking to newsmen in Ilorin. The religious leader was in llorin for the take-off of a three-day crusade by his church at Eyenkorin, on the outskirts of the state capital. The cleric described as ‘mere speculations’, insinuations about the possible break-up of Nigeria after the elections. He asked Nigerians to separate “pronouncements” from “prophecies” about the future of the country. Kumuyi said Nigerians must put hands together to elect people who would do the will of the majority in 2015. He reminded political leaders to understand that they came into office for the good of the people. Kumuyi described his visit to the north central state as one meant beyond religion and ethnicity, saying he was...
