      F1 red flagged after GIANT LIZARD enters race track before evading stewards as drivers forced to swerve to miss ‘dragon’

      by

      FORMULA ONE was hit by chaos ahead of the Singapore Grand Prix as a giant LIZARD forced a red flag.Animals are a common hazard around some F1 tracks, with foxes, groundhogs and one famous incident in 2016 being dubbed “Godzilla”.

      Under-fire Pochettino admits Chelsea fans are much nicer to him in person – because they’re scared of his DOG

      by

      MAURICIO POCHETTINO is suffering dogs’ abuse as boss at Chelsea this season.From being booed by his own fans in the stands to trolled mercilessly from a safe distance by internet diehards accusing him of wrecking the club from within.Beagle-eyed fans often spot Mauricio Pochettino out with his dog Sansa, who he reckons might be why they act more kindly than onlineCredit: Instagram / pochettinoPochettino says his dog ensures fans in real life are no paws for concernCredit: RexFunnily enough, it is a different story when Chelsea’s head coach meets the punters face to face while out walking his dog in what little spare time he gets away from trying to build a team capable of chasing consistent honours.Pochettino said: “Maybe it is because they are scared of my dog — because it is a big dog.“It’s a Rhodesian Ridgeback. It’s massive. Maybe they are nice with me because of that?“I spend one hour, maybe one hour and a half with my dog and sometimes I meet the fans in different places and they ask me things.

Maybe they are nice with me because of that?Mauricio PochettinoThis so-called captive queen apparently starts off with a naive view of the world but she becomes a more ‘hardened individual after suffering one betrayal and cruelty after another’.After almost 15 years in coaching, more than five of those spent at Thursday evening’s bitter opponents  Tottenham, there may be more to the dog’s name  than we imagine.Pochettino certainly needs his Chelsea players to be dogs of war on Thursday evening — eight years to the day since the infamous Battle of the Bridge.That was when Tottenham’s dreams of a first Premier League title were crushed by a surprisingly pumped-up Blues team enduring their worst season for two decades.Thiago Silva, 39, has announced his upcoming departureCredit: GettyOur beautiful game is broken, says Dave KiddBy Dave Kidd

      WHEN Manchester United got lucky in their FA Cup semi-final, Antony’s first instinct was to goad heartbroken opponents Coventry. To rub their noses in the dirt.
      Antony seems to be a vile individual but this isn’t really about Antony. Because Antony is merely a symptom of the hideous sickness within England’s top flight.
      There is so much wrong.
      After our elite clubs persuaded the FA to completely scrap Cup replays — which gave us Ronnie Radford and Ricky Villa and Ryan Giggs — without due recompense or reasoning with the rest of English football.
      The previous day, after his Manchester City side had defeated Chelsea in the other FA Cup semi-final, Pep Guardiola whinged about the fixture scheduling of TV companies who effectively pay much of his £20m salary.
      Up at Wolves, Guardiola’s friend and rival Mikel Arteta was playing the same sad song about fixture congestion, despite his Arsenal side having played two fewer games this season than Coventry — who don’t have £50m squad players to rotate with.
      Chelsea, oh Chelsea. The one-time plaything of a Russian oligarch now owned by financially incontinent venture capitalists who have piddled £1billion on a squad of players who fight like weasels in a sack about who should bask in the personal glory of scoring the penalty that puts them 5-0 up against Everton.
      Read Dave Kidd’s full column as he takes aim at Nottingham Forest, Fulham’s ticket prices, the 39th game, VAR and much more…

      Tottenham’s Mousa Dembele received a six-match ban after being sent off for violent conduct.Pochettino, 52, was in the away dugout that eventful night and football’s man of peace even got caught up in the scrums as the game spiralled out of control with 12 bookings — nine for his Spurs.Anger took over from football as Spurs handed the title to Leicester  and the game was used as a benchmark for learning purposes.Poch said: “We used this game after time, time, time, to talk and to see and to review and to reuse to try to learn from this game.“Players like Eric Dier were young and it was out of control. He became more mature after this game. We used all this experience to be better and better and better.“Son, Dele Alli, different players involved in this game.“We were playing well but we missed how to control the emotion when you compete for big things.“That was the point that made us more mature and to start the season after believing.“Then happened different things, circumstances that affected the  situation of the team.We have to be careful how we judge the young players because this is about them making mistakes and how they learn and improve.Mauricio Pochettino“We realised with this group we could go and fight for big things. It was tough but at that moment the team showed great character.“I don’t remember their position in the table. I think they were mid-table like we are now.“But we were talking about massive players . . . Hazard, John Terry, Costa, Willian, Matic, Azpilicueta, Cahill.“We have to be careful how we judge the young players because this is about them making mistakes and how they learn and improve — and then maybe they can perform better.“But we have worked out in our head what we need to do next season.”Whatever it is it will have to be without veteran defender Thiago Silva, 39, who announced he is leaving after four years.What should have been a one-year stay has stretched and the Brazil legend is a hugely influential figure in the dressing room.Poch said: “It’s true that over the years it is more difficult to find this type of player. We are talking about a 39-year-old. It is not easy to find this profile of player.READ MORE SUN STORIES“He is an amazing guy, an amazing professional.
