      PLYMOUTH ARGYLE have scrapped their fly-on-the-wall documentary following Wayne Rooney’s departure.Rooney, 39, left by mutual consent on New Year’s Day alongside No2 Mike Phelan and first team coach Simon Ireland following a dismal run of one win in 14 games.Wayne Rooney was axed following Argyle’s 2-0 defeat to OxfordCredit: GettySunSport revealed in November that filming had commenced on a documentary series showcasing Argyle’s battle against the Championship drop.The Pilgrims had hoped to flog the series to a streaming service such as Netflix or Amazon Prime Video – raising significant money and the club’s profile in the process.Amid Argyle’s 10-game winless run and Rooney’s departure, however, The Guardian report that club bosses have scrapped the project.They claim that it was felt the project could become a “distraction”.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLFilming had commenced in October, but after working at just two games, production staff were told to “take a break”.Lorton Entertainment had been working on the project.The production company has ties to the former Pilgrims boss, having worked on the feature length documentary “Rooney” – shown on Amazon Prime Video, and “Coleen Rooney: The Real Wagatha Story”, which aired on Disney+.Despite Argyle’s documentary plans having been largely driven by Rooney and his team of advisers, club bosses did sign off on it initially.Most read in FootballBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSLorton are understood to be co-owned by Kenny Shepherd, who is also a shareholder in Triple S Sports – the agency that have represented Rooney since he was a teen.Plymouth Argyle have declined to comment.Rooney has bagged a new role for 2025 as house husband – after blowing the final whistle on his manager job with failing Plymouth ArgyleLong-time Argyle coach Kevin Nancekivell has been placed in caretaker charge alongside injured captain Joe Edwards.The duo guided the Pilgrims to a 2-2 New Year’s Day draw with Bristol City at Home Park, and are expected to be in charge of tomorrow’s Championship trip to Stoke City.After the Bristol City game, Nancekivell paid tribute to outgoing boss Rooney.’PRIVILEGED TO GET TO KNOW HIM’He told the BBC: “I’ve seen Wayne.

      Amazon Prime Video presenter and John Legend give fans ‘second hand embarrassment’ after Arsenal’s win over Ipswich

      by

      JOHN LEGEND gave his best rendition of North London Forever in a “cringeworthy” interview at the Emirates Stadium last night.The superstar singer was in north London to watch on as Arsenal jumped back up to second place in the Premier League thanks to a 1-0 victory over Ipswich Town.John Legend left fans ‘cringing’ live on Amazon Prime VideoCredit: Amazon SportLegend and wife Chrissy Teigen were at the Emirates Stadium for Arsenal vs Ipswich TownCredit: Amazon SportLegend was gave his best rendition of Arsenal’s pre-match song ‘The Angel’Credit: Amazon SportAmazon presenter Alex Aljoe had to feed the lyrics to the global superstarCredit: Amazon SportCameras had found Legend and his wife Chrissy Teigen sitting in the stands during the game with their kids.But the folks at Amazon Prime Video managed to wangle themselves a pitch-side interview after the game had come to an end too.Presenter and reporter Alex Aljoe had a chat with the 12-time Grammy Award winner about his time in the capital and even managed to get him to sing live on the coverage.Aljoe asked Legend to give his best shot at singing Arsenal’s pre-match song ‘The Angel’, better known as ‘North London Forever’.READ MORE ON ARSENALWith a little help from Aljoe feeding him the lyrics line-by-line, Legend was able to sing a small part of the song while fans at home watched on.However, not all supporters were impressed and instead found the interaction to be a tough watch.On social media, one fan wrote: “Second hand embarrassment”. While another added: “Awkward interview”.Most read in FootballFOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALSA third commented: “Every bit of my body is cringing”.And a fourth posted: “This is proper cringeworthy”. Mikel Arteta reveals Bukayo Saka is set to miss months after surgery as he gives injury update on Arsenal starPerhaps the main reason that it was hard for fans to watch was Legend’s own admission that he didn’t know the words.Clearly attending for the first time since the Gunners’ began singing the pre-match song, Legend had told Aljoe that he was trying to figure out what the fans were singing.He said: “I was listening and trying to figure out what everyone was singing. But I love how synced up everyone is – it’s incredible”. It wasn’t exactly a thriller for the Hollywood couple, with Arsenal somewhat limping their way to a 1-0 victory in the absence of star man Bukayo Saka.But a goal from Kai Havertz helped the Gunners to earn three points in the busy festive schedule where points are always more important than performances.Kai Havertz was the difference maker as Arsenal beat Ipswich 1-0Credit: GettyArsenal ratings vs IpswichBy Katherine WalshARSENAL leapfrogged Chelsea back into second in the Premier League table with a 1-0 win over Ipswich.Kai Havertz’s close-range finish midway through the first half proved to be the difference between the title-chasing Gunners and relegation-threatened Tractor Boys. Here’s how SunSport’s Katherine Walsh rated the Arsenal players at the Emirates Stadium…David Raya – 5Cut a lonely figure and must have been cold standing on his goal-line for most of the first half as his team-mates enjoyed 84 per cent possession.Had his first touch on 31 minutes but was called upon more in the second half as Ipswich grew into the game.Jurrien Timber – 6Got the fans on their feet with a glorious run through the middle of the park inside 19 minutes, but his limp long range shot was easily kept out by Muric.Clearly had a licence to roam, cutting in from full-back and driving up the pitch.William Saliba – 7Joined Gabriel in the highest line set-up of the season. The pair of them were at the edge of Muric’s box for most of the first half.The Frenchman was solid in dealing with a boisterous Liam Delap.Gabriel – 8Great game for the Brazilian to ease back into 90 minutes after starting against Crystal Palace on Saturday.Caused his usual nuisance in the opposition area from corners but missed a sitter from a Rice set-piece in the 64th minute.Myles Lewis-Skelly – 7Getting more and more impressive each week. The way he moves with that low centre of gravity makes him so hard to dispossess.But a poor clearance saw Ipswich enjoy a first spell of possession before the hour mark.The 18-year-old was poked and prodded by Ipswich striker Delap and Kalvin Phillips at times but dealt with it well.Declan Rice – 7Rice was pushed into a defensive No6 role but didn’t have to stay there long.Energetic as always and added another level of attack he got his foot on the ball and won a dangerous free kick on the edge of the area.Kai Havertz – 8Officially back in midfield in Saka’s absence after having played most of the season up top.But the German was in the perfect elusive centre-forward’s position to tap home with a breakthrough opener inside 23 minutes.Rotated and exchanged the No9 role – perhaps Arteta has found a new partnership that may see them through this spell without Saka.Martin Odegaard – 6Rare off evening for the Arsenal captain but nothing too drastic. Uncharacteristic air ball inside six minutes and wasn’t as sharp in his passing.Perhaps missing the chemistry he has with Saka and lost the ball cheaply at times.Gabriel Martinelli – 6All eyes were on the winger as he filled in for Saka on the right-hand side.The Brazilian perhaps lacks the directness of the Gunners’ starboy, but he saw plenty of the ball and linked up well with Jesus.Whipped the first ball in for Havertz’s goal which came out to Trossard who provided the assist.Leandro Trossard – 7Started on the left and kept the ball alive to steal a yard on Ben Johnson and provide Havertz with a wicked cross and his 12th goal of the season.Troubled Ipswich’s Johnson with his direct running and tireless work rate throughout.Gabriel Jesus – 5Jesus clearly had the bit between his teeth at the moment after last week’s goal rush.Couldn’t quite hold his run well enough when breaking through after 34 minutes for his offside goal. Perhaps over eager at that moment.Looked disappointed when he was subbed off with 20 minutes remaining. More

      Fans have ‘tears in eyes’ as Sky Sports icon Chris Kamara reunited with old pal Jeff Stelling on shock commentary return

      by

      CHRIS KAMARA made his long-awaited return to TV on Amazon Prime – drawing an emotional reaction from fans online.The former Sky Sports pundit, 67, was in the commentary box for Tottenham’s visit to Nottingham Forest. Chris Kamara was reunited with Jeff StellingAnd he was introduced by former Sky colleague Jeff Stelling – leaving fans fighting back tears online. One said: “Seeing Jeff Stelling and Chris Kamara back doing the football together is everything to me.”Another added: “Absolutely amazing to see Chris Kamara back where he belongs.

But Kamara was back on the TV providing updates on Spurs’ game and had Stelling chuckling with his trademark wit.Most read in FootballWhat is apraxia of speech?CHRIS Kamara has been diagnosed with apraxia of speech – but what is it?Apraxia of speech is a condition which makes talking difficult, with sufferers knowing what they’d like to say, but having trouble communicating their words.The NHS says that the condition can be extremely frustrating for people.They explained: “Frequently the person with apraxia will have difficulties with conversational speech. However they may be good at ‘automatic’ speech tasks such as counting, swearing, repeating rhymes, greetings and farewell.It’s usually caused by damage to the left side of the brain, such as a stroke.The condition does not affect a person’s understanding and the symptoms of the condition can vary occurring to the severity of the disorder.Kamara said: “I have got the best game of the day.”When Amazon rang me up, I thought they wanted me to deliver parcels but they said the game, YES!”Kamara had a successful playing career from 1975-1995 – but he had moved into punditry with Sky from 1992. He was a much-loved figure among the Soccer Saturday team. His voice is improving thanks to treatment in Mexico – and while he is not yet back to full health, he is on the road to recovery.Stelling also left Sky in 2023 and has since worked on talkSPORT and now Amazon over the Christmas period.
