"I do not think [he lost the dressing room], even towards the last few games we had some good results," he told Sky Sports.
"We got a draw at Tottenham and won in the Champions League in the last two group stage games.
"Obviously the loss at Leicester was the final straw and like I said, the results were not acceptable, even draws, we were expected to win every single game and be at the top of the table and it was unfortunate that those sort of things happened.
"The desire was always there and we tried in all the games, even towards the end of Mourinho's tenure, but sometimes in football things do not always go your way.
"And when negative results start building up, then confidence obviously drops and everything turns against you. But I think the effort and commitment was there from the players. We certainly tried.
"The atmosphere was not a lot of fun. We tried to keep positive and keep each other going. But obviously when you go from one bad result to the next game and it does not start the way you want and a man gets sent off, another questionable decision, then you start feeling that negative feeling again.
"So it was difficult at times, but we had good characters, just unfortunately at a club like ours the results we had were not acceptable. And unfortunately someone pays the price, and that is the way it worked out."

Myles Douglas, right, shown at Friends School during the 2014-15 season, has committed to play college basketball at Central Florida.
Former Friends basketball standout Myles Douglas, has committed t to play at Central Florida.
Former Friends basketball standout Myles Douglas, now a rising senior at Paul VI Catholic in Virginia, has made a verbal commitment to play at the University of Central Florida.
Douglas, a 6-foot-6 small forward, was a two-year starter at Friends before averaging 10 points and five rebounds at Paul VI this past season.
A four-star recruit by ESPN, Douglas said Central Florida's new coaching staff -- including head coach Johnny Dawkins and assistant Kevin Norris (Lake Clifton) -- was a determining factor.
"Those guys really believed in me more than the others that were recruiting me. I think it's a great fit for me," Douglas said.
He also had scholarship offers from Maryland, West Virginia, Miami, Georgia Tech and Xavier, among others.
Dawkins, a standout point guard at Duke who went on to coach eight seasons at Stanford, took over the program in March. Norris, a standout player at Miami who was an assistant coach at USC the past three seasons, was hired by Dawkins a week later. Norris' ties to Baltimore comforted Douglas.
"Myles is a skilled big kid who can do it all," said Holley, Douglas' former coach at Friends. "He plays unselfish, works hard and loves the game. His success was inevitable."
A Federal counterterrorism program to identify security lapses at commercial nuclear power plants has been scrapped, The Los Angeles Times reported today, and budget cuts are partly to blame.
The program, begun by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in 1991, was devised to prevent someone from causing the devastation seen at the Chernobyl nuclear power station in Ukraine in 1986.
The program was canceled at the end of September. Three weeks earlier, the regulatory commission issued an advisory that recommended increased security at nuclear plants.
The program has identified serious security lapses at nearly half the nation's 104 nuclear power reactors, the newspaper said. At one reactor, a team ''was able to reach and simulate sabotaging enough equipment to cause a core melt,'' said David Orrik, the commission security specialist who directed the program.
The bitter rivalry between Republican congressional candidates Eddie Edwards and Andy Sanborn ended on Tuesday night when Sanborn called his loss before the final, official results were in.
He told a crowd of supporters in Bedford that with precinct numbers from the Seacoast and conservative strongholds near Manchester, he couldn’t see a path for closing the gap with Edwards.
In yet another week where news of the Russia investigation dominated national headlines, President Donald Trump’s attorney Rudy Giuliani made time in his schedule to fly to Portsmouth and endorse Republican Eddie Edwards in New Hampshire’s 1st Congressional District race.
Despite insisting that voters shouldn’t interpret his endorsement as an endorsement from the president, most of Giuliani’s remarks were about Trump, and the similarities between Edwards and the president’s agenda.
The field of candidates trying to replace retiring Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter is crowded, to say the least. There are over a dozen people running for the 1st Congressional seat, and this district is notorious for swinging back and forth between the two parties.
NHPR’s Lauren Chooljian spent some time this week watching the three main Republican candidates to see how they’re trying to distinguish themselves from one another. She spoke with NHPR's All Things Considered host Peter Biello.
Allegations that New Hampshire Republican state Senator Andy Sanborn made inappropriate comments at the State House are following him on the campaign trail for Congress.
Sanborn is among a handful of Republicans running to replace retiring Democratic Rep. Carol Shea-Porter in the 1st Congressional District.
Eddie Edwards, a Republican, has been chief of police for the town of South Hampton, and was the top law enforcement officer for the state’s liquor commission. He announced his bid for New Hampshire's 1st Congressional District on Wednesday. The seat is currently held by Democrat, Carol Shea-Porter.
The beauty of Westworld is that there are several ways to enjoy it and to talk about it. You can pick apart its mysteries and examine every detail and try to discern the meticulous puzzle that showrunners Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy have so gleefully assembled. You can enjoy it as a scathing commentary on art and entertainment in the 21st century, an examination of how we enjoy ourselves in a world where consequences are nullified. You can respond to its philosophical musings, its grand science fiction ideas, and the clever way it recontextualizes western iconography. I like to think that our Westworld coverage here on /Film has managed to touch on all of this.
But today, we’re looking at a video that’s all about mystery solving. If the puzzle box aspect of Westworld is your thing, you’re in the right place. If you just want the show to unfold around you, this is the point where you turn back.
Still here? Okay. Let’s do this.
One thing that has become increasingly clear over the past six weeks is that Westworld is set in two different timelines, separated by 30 years or so. Early in the timeline, park guests William and Logan explore the park with Dolores, a robotic Host who has broken free of her loop. Decades later, the host known as Maeve has gained sentience of her own as the park deals with corporate espionage and a variety of in-park issues related to a recent software update. Once you know what to look for (like changing logos, the fact that some characters never interact with others, etc.), it’s easy to discern which part of the timeline you’re watching. And now, YouTuber Zen Zep has started putting the key events of Westworld in chronological order.
The resulting Westworld timeline video is an excellent start for everyone looking to dive off the deep end. It’s not comprehensive – And how could it be? The first season isn’t event over yet! – but it does give all of your theorizers out there something to build upon.
Interestingly, this video doubles down the idea that the scenes of Dolores speaking with Bernard Lowe are actually taking place in the past, which suggests a few possibilities. It could mean that these are memories that have been tampered with and that Bernard is acting as a stand-in for Arnold, Westworld’s deceased co-founder. Or it could mean that Bernard is Arnold’s son and that we’ve been actually watching Jeffrey Wright play two characters this entire time. Or it could mean nothing at all and everyone is wrong.
If you want to plunge further down the Westworld rabbit hole, we’ve got you covered.

The American Federation of Teachers (AFT) wants Time to apologize for this November 3 issue cover, on newsstands Monday.
There’s a technique that supposedly measures teacher quality, and you can sue public schools that fail to adopt it. Does anyone have a problem with this approach? Of course. Teachers, for example, and their unions – who are, shockingly, never quoted in Time‘s piece.
Time has nothing but admiration for America’s dedicated teachers and their commitment to excellence… Our mission is to spur discussion of important issues, and in the interest of an informed debate, I am making the story free for all readers, so everyone can judge for themselves.
ROCK ISLAND, Illinois — Augustana College has closed down a building because of a refrigerant leak.

In “the other ballgame” Sunday, the Pawtucket Red Sox got early offense, and decent pitching, only to lose 6-3 to a ninth inning rally from the Rochester Red Wings, on a broiling 90 degree afternoon before 6554 fans at McCoy Stadium.
With trade deadline deals, a spate of injuries in Boston necessitating call-ups, and assorted other roster changes, those fans definitely needed a program to identify all the PawSox. But it was one of those new faces that provided the biggest hit for the Pawtucket offense, as 22-year old first baseman Josh Ockimey–who made his triple-A debut Friday night–blasted a three-run home run in the first inning. Rochester would strike back for three runs in the top of the third frame, but aside from those three-run innings, the teams engaged in a tight pitching duel the rest of the way.
The Red Wings, a Twins' affiliate, have adopted that procedure pioneered by Tampa Bay, where they have a reliever begin the game, and then roll out their actual starter for the second inning. Rochester manager Joel Skinner might be re-thinking that idea, after Ockimey's towering shot into the visitors' bullpen capped a three-hit, three-run PawSox first against reliever Alan Busenitz. Singles by Rusney Castillo and Sam Travis preceded Ockimey's homer.
The 6'1 215 pound first baseman also homered in his Friday night AAA debut. Ockimey was a fifth round draft choice in 2014, out of SS.Neumann and Goretti Catholic High School in the Philadelphia area, where he had his number retired after leading his team to three Catholic League titles and posting a career batting average of .411. Ockimey spent 2017 between single-A Salem (100 games) and double-A Portland (31 games), and put up a combined .274 average with 14 homers and 74 runs batted in. In 90 games with the SeaDogs this season, Ockimey had batted .254 with 15 home runs, 56 rbi, and was second in the league with 59 walks, although he had also struck out 112 times.
Once Busenitz's cameo was done, Rochester's starters was Fernando Romero, 23-year old Dominican righthander who is 6-6 on the season, evenly split between 3-3 with the Red Wings, and 3-3 in 11 starts for Minnesota. The bulldog-like Romero, 6'0 and 225 pounds, came in firing fastballs between 96-98 miles per hour on the stadium gun, to start the second inning, and maintained that velocity for the next eight innings.
Pawtucket starter Justin Haley, who came in 5-7, has also seen the major leagues this year, going 7.2 innings in four appearances out of the Boston bullpen. Haley almost matched Romero's excellence, going six innings, five of which were scoreless and four of which saw him retire the opposition in order. But Haley had a strange loss of control in the third frame, when after one out he yielded a single to Gregorio Petit, and then walked the next two hitters. With the bases loaded Rochester DH Tyler Austin, acquired from the Yankees in the July 30 Lance Lynn deal, stroked a double down the left field line to plate two runs. After another walk re-loaded the bases, Andy Wilkins' bloop single to right scored the third Red Wings run.
Haley got the second out on a popup, but the third out was an eye-opening case of stellar outfield defense. Former BoSox farmhand Jeremy Hazelbaker smacked a twisting fly ball deep to left, and after a long run, Pawtucket left fielder Sam Travis ran it down for a superb catch. The popular notion may be that Travis is a one dimensional first baseman/DH type, but this was a play that brought the crowd to its feet and proved Travis is enough of an athlete to play the outfield.
Haley left after six stanzas, having allowed just four hits and those three runs, having thrown 98 pitches. Newcomer Travis Lakins threw a perfect inning, and then Marcus Walden came on to retired the Red Wings easily in the eighth. But Walden, who was only activated Wednesday after being out since the end of May with a forearm problem, ran into trouble with one out in the top of the ninth. Johnny Field singled, Hazelbaker walked, and then Walden hit catcher Juan Graterol with a pitch to load the bases. A Petit single scored one run, but Walden fanned the next man. At that point, Pawtucket brought on lefty Robbie Scott to face Nick Gordon, and Gordon singled to plate two more runs.
Meanwhile, Romero had been mowing down the PawSox all day, and he would cap it off by finishing the ninth. Romero shut out the Pawtucket team on four hits over those last eight innings, fanning eight, walking none, and doing it all in an economical 95 pitches–71 for strikes.
BRANDON PHILLIPS WATCH: With the former National League all star second baseman slowed by leg problems, and then hit by a pitch on his hand last weekend, Phillips' preparation for a possible return to the big leagues had been delayed. But Sunday marked the fourth consecutive game Phillips has played. Phillips, 37, served as PawSox DH yesterday, and made solid contact in three of his four at-bats. Phillips veteran batting eye was especially evident in an eighth inning standoff with Romero, where he fouled off four consecutive pitches before lashing a double to left-center. Phillips played third base on Saturday, and second base on Friday night, when he blasted a three-run walkoff home run in the bottom of the ninth to send Pawtucket home with a 7-4 win over Rochester.
Phillips had previously said he estimated he'd need 50-75 at-bats to be ready for a possible return to the majors, and after Sunday's game he was, by our figures, at 57 at-bats.
BULLPEN CHANGES GALORE: Last week's trade for Ian Kinsler sent Pawtucket relievers Ty Buttrey and Williams Jerez to the Angels. Jerez, 25, had been 2-1 at Pawtucket this year, with five saves and a 3.63 ERA, while the 6'6 Buttrey posted a 2.25 ERA in 32 games with one save, and a 98 mph arm that seemed to be full of potential.
But the Red Sox replenished those bullpen spots with a pair of young guns from Portland, both righthanders. Matthew Gorst, 22, arrived via the 2016 draft from Georgia Tech, where set a school record with his 0.55 ERA as a junior. Gorst had been outstanding at single-A this year, with a 1.59 ERA and eight saves in 20 games. Promoted to double-A Portland on June 22, Gorst had appeared in nine games, going 2-0 with a save, and no earned runs allowed in 20.1 innings. Since joining Pawtucket on July 31, Gorst has appeared in three games, logging five innings, with five hits and two runs allowed, when he took the loss at Syracuse last Thursday.
Lakins, who threw the 1-2-3 seventh inning Sunday, also had a 1.1 inning stint on Thursday, allowing just one hit. Lakins, 24, was drafted in 2015 out of Ohio State, and like Gorst he is 6'1. Lakins began the season as a starter at Portland, and posted a 2-2 record with 4.76 ERA in six starts. But since the SeaDogs converted him to reliever, Lakins had been lights-out, with a 0.86 ERA in 21 appearances. Lakins missed most of 2017, and most of April this year, after a stress fracture in his elbow.
Yet another new face on the Pawtucket mound staff is 23-year old righty Mike Shawaryn, a 6'2 New Jersey native who's vaulted through the system. Shawaryn made 26 starts last year at single-A, between two teams, going 8-7 with a 3.81 ERA, but registering a noteworthy 169 strikeouts in just 134.2 innings. This year Shawaryn had gone 6-8 in 19 starts at Portland, with an ERA of 3.28, and 99 Ks in 112.2 innings. Shawaryn started at Syracuse Thursday night, going 6.1 innings, allowing seven hits and four runs, but fanning six.
RED SOX/RED WINGS CONNECTIONS: Former longtime Red Sox farmhand Jeremy Hazelbaker, who spent parts of three seasons at Pawtucket, isn't the only Rochester player with some BoSox connections. Hazelbaker, who spent much of 2016 with the St. Louis Cardinals, and much of last year with Arizona, was drafted by Boston way back in 2009. He started this year with Tampa Bay, before being sold to the Twins on July 19..Rochester's final two runs came on a two-rbi hit from 22-year old second baseman Nick Gordon, who was the twins first round draft choice (fifth overall) in 2014, coming out of high school. Nick is the son of former Boston closer Tom “Flash” Gordon, and the brother of Seattle infielder Dee Gordon..If Red Wings DH Tyler Austin sounds familiar, it may be because as a Yankee he was involved in the April 11 benches-clearing brawl with the Red Sox, earning a four-game suspension. Austin arrived in the Minnesota system last Tuesday, as part of the Lance Lynn trade.
The treatment, IL-17E, is a type of protein called a pro-inflammatory cytokine which, according to research done at Lorus, is thought to elicit an immune response which attacks cancer cells, and determining exactly how it does this will form part of the work being done.
It incorporates technology owned by both Lorus and Genentech. Lorus scientists were the first to discover the anticancer properties of IL-17E against a range of solid tumours.
Cancer Research UK’s Clinical Development Partnerships (CDP) is a joint initiative between Cancer Research UK’s Drug Development Office (DDO) and Cancer Research Technology, to develop promising anticancer agents that may not otherwise be developed, and take them through preclinical development and early clinical trials.
With the CDP scheme, companies retain the background rights to their programmes while enabling Cancer Research UK to take on early development work to evaluate the benefit to cancer patients. Three drugs are now in clinical trialswith others scheduled to open early 2013.
Cancer Research UK’s DDO will fund and undertake extensive preclinical work led by Professor Christian Ottensmeier at the University of Southampton, England, to further investigate the mechanism by which the protein destroys cancer cells and to further develop the drug for use in treating cancer patients.
The DDO will then fund, manage and sponsor the first Phase I clinical trial led by Professor Chris Twelves and Dr Christy Ralph at the Cancer Research UK/NIHR Leeds Experimental Cancer Medicine Centre, based at the University of Leeds, England. Lorus will manufacture and supply IL-17E for the non-clinical toxicology and Phase I clinical studies.
Professor Christian Ottensmeier, Cancer Research UK scientist at the University of Southampton, said: “This important partnership means we’ll be able to better understand how this molecule destroys cancer cells. We will investigate if it somehow supercharges the immune system to hunt down and attack cancer cells, or if it is able to trigger a ‘suicide’ signal in these cells so they self-destruct, or both, as suggested by research already done at Lorus.
After the Phase I trial, Lorus will have the exclusive option to license the Phase I clinical trial data and resume further clinical development. If it does not exercise this option, the rights to the programme would be transferred to Cancer Research Technology to secure an alternative partner, with the aim to make the treatment available for cancer patients while Lorus would retain certain economic interests.
Dr Aiping Young, President and CEO of Lorus, said: “At Lorus our primary focus is to discover and develop novel therapies to treat some of the most important and hard-to-treat cancers. IL-17E fits all the criteria to potentially qualify as a truly unique, first-in-class cytokine-based approach to treating a range of solid tumours.
“Cancer Research UK is world renowned for its cancer research and has done similar partnership deals through its CDP initiative with some of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies. We believe this partnership with Cancer Research UK is not only a validation of our IL-17E technology, but it also offers Lorus an innovative avenue to develop this programme, and affords us the opportunity to progress as many of our programmes as possible into the clinic.
Dr Victoria John, head of clinical partnerships, at Cancer Research UK’s Drug Development Office, said: “Without our unique CDP initiative, it might not have been possible to develop this promising treatment, stalling progress to provide potential new options for patients for whom existing treatments no longer work.
