Erling Haaland is making winning the Golden Boot look easy!Four former stars reveal how they won it

www.dailymail.co.uk, December 29, 2022
Twenty league goals gave strikers a chance of winning the Golden Boot. No more. Erling Haaland (centre) is not concerned right now. His brace against Leeds brought him to 20 for the season, a record that would have been enough to win the award on four occasions in the Premier League era. The Norwegians have played just 14 games in total. He scores at 1.6 goals per 90 minutes and, perhaps, his boss, Pep Guardiola, insists that the 22-year-old is not fully recovered because of a foot injury he sustained in October. After Haaland skipped a few chances at Elland Road, Guardiola said, 'He can be more sharper.' Where will it end?And how do you mould yourself into a prospective Golden Boot winner?Sportsmail speaks to four top-flight greats and previous winners (clockwise from top left, Kevin Phillips, Alan Smith, Chris Sutton and Dwight Yorke) to find out…

The Artemis moon rocket, according to the BBC, is 'unmanned' not 'unmanned' to prevent offence from being sent

www.dailymail.co.uk, September 1, 2022
Alan Smith referred to a "uncrewed" flight that was scheduled as part of NASA's moon mission in a news roundup on Today. The newsreader was not encouraged by the publishers to use the gender-neutral terms, according to the BBC, but journalists are still forbidden to use terms like "unmanned." The BBC's style guide says,'manned/manning/manpower' refers to a mixed workforce, it's more appropriate to use staffed, dispatched, or staffing levels, etc. Avoid "guy in the street" by the same token.' The corporation's style guide also states that'mankind' is 'open to misogyny' and that it is'safer to write the human race,' according to The Telegraph. The new version, which was released in 2020 and 2021, also warns employees not to use the term LGBT because the 'problems affecting lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people can be very different, and the more specific we can be with our words, the better.'
