      Maddison gave an extended interview this week to former Manchester United goalkeeper Ben Foster for Amazon Prime.
      In it, the Tottenham midfielder explained how pop star Williams came to perform for the squad ahead of the World Cup.
      And he ended up on stage alongside him, all thanks to his ex-Leicester City team-mate.
      Maddison said: “During Robbie’s performance, he says ‘stop the set, I’ve heard Maddison’s got a bit.

      “And I’m just at the back still tucking into my chicken or whatever I’m eating, thinking ‘did I hear that right?’
      “I’ve heard he can seriously sing’ but I promise you now I can’t sing.
      “Harry Maguire has stitched me up and told Robbie that I’m genuinely good.
      “So he called me up for a duet, I’m at the back like ‘Robbie I’m rubbish, you can’t get me up there’.

      “But the lads are like Madders come on don’t turn down a duet with Robbie, Jack Grealish and Mason Mount were saying ‘you’ve got to go up’.
      “I ended up doing a duet with him at the front, Sweet Caroline, I hit the first note pretty well and it went downhill from there.”
      Maddison is currently out injured after being forced off at half-time in Spurs’ 4-1 defeat to Chelsea.
      The £40million midfielder suffered damage to his ankle ligament and will be out of action until the New Year.
      He also told Foster: “It’s healing well, it’s a bit of a slow burner which is obviously frustrating because like you said, I started the season so well. But it’s healing, slowly but surely.” More

      The hilarious coincidence left fans in hysterics.
      But one fan took the crown jewel after comparing the former Newcastle ace and ex-Everton manager to Breaking Bad characters commonly known as “The Cousins” despite being twin brothers.
      Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one fan said: “Why are Martinez and Shearer wearing the same clothes tonight🤣.”
      A second said: “Did Shearer & Martinez not discuss what they were wearing before going on TV 🤣.”

      A third joked: “Why have Alan Shearer and Roberto Martínez dressed like Thierry Henry’s evil henchmen… But henchmen with a dress code?”
      Reacting to the Breaking Bad character comparison, one fan said: “Is it just me or Shearer and Roberto Martinez look like two twins that got dressed nicely by their mother to go and visit their granny?!😄.”
      Another said: “Are Alan Shearer and Roberto Martinez twins?”
      While another added: “Alan Shearer and Roberto Martinez stood on top of that house at Kenilworth Road watching the game last night,” after posting an image of Shearer and Martinez next to the twins.

      Amazon Prime Video introduce never before seen feature and fans are already demanding Sky Sports follow suit

      by

      FOOTBALL fans claim the “future” of viewing has arrived as Amazon Prime brought in the first-ever substitute counter for Wolves’ live TV clash with Burnley.Supporters urged Sky Sports to follow suit after Amazon introduced a discreet tracker above the scoreline in the corner of the screen.

      But it came into play much earlier than second-bottom Burnley would have liked in Tuesday’s Premier League game at Molineux.
      Vincent Kompany’s Clarets were on top until dangerous winger Luca Koleosho hobbled off after 36 minutes.
      On stepped Johann Gudmundsson for the 19-year-old.
      Unlucky Koleosho had netted his first Prem goal just three days earlier in a 5-0 thrashing of Sheffield United.

      But his misfortune gave viewers the chance to judge Amazon’s groundbreaking service.
      The tracker shows five little marks above each team – with the number of dashes reducing by one every time a substitution is made.
      And a few fans reckon the counter sets the bench-mark for other broadcasters.
      One posted: “New substitute tracking system on Amazon Prime is very useful actually and surprising that it hasn’t been introduced sooner.

      “Amazon again showing to be superior to other platforms and surely must be the future of Premier League coverage.”
      A second observer wrote: “I like that sub counter Prime Video have… It’s something Sky have to think about implementing too.”
      But others suggested the tracker was unnecessary.
      One said: “Amazon just introduced a sub counter on Wolves vs Burnley. Can’t say I’ve ever sat here wondering how many subs a team has left.”
      And this was a similar view: “I have never ever in my life watching football for over 40 years wondered how many subs are left. ”  More

      In a tweet, he said he found it “hard” to watch the show “struggling”.
      Scott replied with a meme that simply read: “Interesting”.
      Walker, who spent 12 years hosting Football Focus, then added: “I’m not saying you haven’t Alex.
      “It’s a saturated market and it’s hard work every week. I hope you have a good show today.”
      Later in the day, Scott posted saying “viewing figures double that of anything on TV at that time yesterday”.
      The broadcasters then reportedly came together for a “lively exchange” at The Legends of Football dinner at the Grosvenor Hotel in London.
      It is believed Walker approached Scott to apologise, before they hashed things out for “several minutes”.
      The discussion ended on a positive note as they parted ways with a hug.
