'Game over' for Moyes, Prize for all?

The announcement that teachers are to hold a national strike in England and Wales in June over pay and workload issues attracts comment.
The Guardian says the vote at the National Union of Teachers' conference was accompanied by an "acrimonious debate"over the prospect of more aggressive action.
Post code facts
A snapshot of the UK through its postcodes has been detailed by Royal Mail, reports the Daily Mirror, Daily Mailand the Times.
Royal Mail commissioned the Centre for Economic and Business Research to compile the data to mark the 40th anniversary of postcodes being allocated to every area.
Birmingham's B4 postcode was found to have the lowest average age at 23, while the oldest area - with residents averaging 55 - is the Suffolk coastal town of Aldeburgh.
People in Poole are more likely to be married than anywhere else in the country, with two-thirds of those within the BH18 postcode wed. And Worcester residents are said to have the most cars - an average of 1.95 per household.
The Daily Telegraph says there was also a "series of powerful attacks"on Education Secretary Michael Gove's reform programme.
In an editorial, the Telegraph says "there is a wearisome predictabilityto the annual round of teachers' union conferences". It suggests grievances with education policy "should be a matter for the electorate not the NUT".
The Times too reckons the teaching profession "lacks a credible voice in an important conversation"and the NUT is "standing in the way of progress".
Another apparent change in educational thinking concerns the Independent and Daily Mail - a survey indicating that two out of three children dislike competitive sport at school.
The survey was carried out for Marylebone Cricket Club, which is launching an initiative to teach pupils to play sport in a competitive but sporting manner.
The survey findings led to speculation that a "prizes for all" culture still holds sway in some state schools, says the Daily Mail.
The Independent appears to be disappointed by the survey's findings."Not all competition need be aggressive and unpleasant and losing does not have to be seen as shameful," it says. "It is fun to win but it can also be fun to lose and fun simply to take part. We should celebrate the competitive spirit, not condemn it."
Held to Ransom
As the tensions between the Kremlin and Ukraine continue to concern the international community, the Times reports that energy ministers from the G7 nations are seeking to reduce their reliance on Russian gas.
Britain is to lead an international effort to stop Russia from using its vast natural energy supplies to hold the world to ransom, says the paper in its front page story.
Speaking before a summit next month, Energy Secretary Ed Davey says that while the UK did not receive any gas directly from Russia, disruption to supplies in Europe would push up prices domestically.
In another development in the search for new sources of power, the Timesand Financial Times both report that energy companies are to be given the freedom to frackfor shale gas under private land.
The move - set to be announced in the Queen's Speech in June - would see trespass laws amended. It is said to be an attempt to kickstart the fledging shale industry in the UK and aimed at addressing the problem of landowners refusing permission for drilling under their land.
But the FT says it is likely to provoke a backlash from environmentalists opposed to fracking, as well as some MPs.
Heartbreaking portrait
The funeral of TV presenter Peaches Geldof attracts headlines - with the Guardian, Independent, Sun, Daily Mirror and Daily Star, all featuring a photograph of her coffin on their front pages.
The sky-blue casket was decorated with clouds and flowers along the side and a picture of her family and much loved pets at the back, says the Daily Telegraph.
The Daily Express says the "heartbreaking " family portrait "reunited"Ms Geldof with her loved ones for a final time.
The venue for the service, St Mary Magdalene and St Lawrence Church in Davington, near Faversham, Kent, has "special significance" for the family, says the Times.
The Daily Mirror also reminds its readers that the scene of "final sad farewell"for the 25-year-old, who died in unexplained circumstances on 7 April, was the same church where her parents married, and where she was christened.
And, says the paper, it was where she, too, tied the knot less than two years ago and wept at the funeral of her mother Paula Yates in 2000.
