      Scotland vs England permutations
      Scotland face England on Tuesday night in the Nations League knowing a LOSS will keep alive players’ hopes of featuring in the Olympics next year.
      This is because Team GB can only reach the Olympics if the nominated nation England make it to the Nations League finals and reach the final.
      And after beating the Netherlands 3-2 with a last-gasp goal, the Lionesses now have to beat Scotland to stand a chance of advancing to the Nations League finals.
      England are level on points with the Netherlands on top of the Nations League Group A, but sit behind Dutch on goal difference.
      England boss Sarina Wiegman – who will also manage Team GB at the Olympics next year if they qualify – said: “We need to win in Scotland, we really need to win.
      “We are dependent on the other game but if we want to progress we need a really good win by four goals I would say.
      “What we can control is playing well and winning that game. That is what we need to do first. We can’t control what the others do.”
      Chelsea’s Erin Cuthbert, Aston Villa’s Rachel Corsie and Tottenham’s Martha Thomas are among the Scottish stars that Wiegman could look to include in her Team GB squad.

      by

      BRITISH boxing could have its new star in the making with heavyweight force Moses Itauma. The Kent fighter went 7-0 in a one-round demolition job against Michal Boloz.

      But Itauma will have his eyes on bigger prizes to come, most notably a world heavyweight title.
      Mike Tyson holds the record for becoming the youngest world heavyweight champion at the age of 20.
      Itauma, 18, has set his sights on doing it even earlier.
      Who is Moses Itauma?
      Itauma was a monster of a fighter in the amateurs, regularly stopping opponents as he won honours at world youth level.
      He quickly signed with Frank Warren, whom his brother Karol fights for, and got his pro career underway in January.
      Five of his seven win have come by knockout, and he’s looking to become world champion by spring 2025.
      He told SunSport earlier this year: “Me and my brother have talked about me breaking that record and just looking at the dates and the maths, it is very doable.
      “Karol told me, ‘If anyone can do it then you can.’ And I believe I can do it.
      Most read in Boxing
      “The current world champions now are in their thirties and the ones that are coming up, supposedly to replace them.
      “I reckon I can do all of them.”
      Earlier this year, Itauma met Tyson, who offered him advice about fighting lower calibre fighters.
      “Any fighter is a quality fight because anything can happen in there. Anything,” Tyson said.
      “Do you know what I am saying? There is no such thing as bums.
      “I used to say people were bums until I made that comeback to box that division.
      “Then I realised that there were no bums. That’s hard work.”
      Itauma, from Chatham in Kent, won 24 fights as an amateur and will be looking to get back in the ring by February, possibly on the Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk card. More

      Who is Decca Heggie? Bare knuckle boxer arrested in the Philippines

      by

      DECCA Heggie is a bare-knuckle boxer turned actor with a dark past. But what do we know about the fighter — and his recent arrest? 
      Bare-knuckle boxer Decca Heggie is facing deportation from the Philippines.
      Who is Decca Heggie?
      Derek “Decca” Heggie was born in Carlisle in Cumbria on November 22, 1983, and has some Scottish heritage. 
      He started his career as a bare-knuckle boxer, a form of boxing where fighters wear no gloves or padding on their hands. 
      Since retiring, he has also been involved in organising fights between other fighters, saying: “We’re stopping what would be worse violence in some cases.
      “We’re ‘fighters first’ because of that, the fighters get looked after because I know what it takes to step in there and do it.”
      Read more on MMA
      Beyond organising fights, the former-boxer has shifted his career to podcasting and acting. 
      Heggie presents the Official All of Nothing Podcast, where he interviews “some of the most notorious and controversial figures from all around the world.
      Heggie has been vocal about his issues with mental health and drug addiction. 
      In 2018, he published an autobiography titled “Prizefighter – The Searing Autobiography of Britain’s Bareknuckle Boxing Champion”. 
      Most read in Boxing
      What is Decca Heggie’s fight record?
      Heggie was unbeaten following a total of 15 fights before retiring from the sport.  
      While bare-knuckle boxing is legal, Heggie said that his first three fights were illegal. 
      Speaking to Vice, he said: “One in the gangster’s back garden, then I went over to America and had two illegal fights out there — I won all of them. 
      “Bareknuckle is always linked to the underworld.”
      Bare-knuckle boxing is brutal — a 2021 fight between Heggie and Danny Christie, also from Carlisle, resulted in both being covered in blood, after fighting non-stop for ten minutes in a boxing gym, 
      Bare-knuckle boxing is one of Britain’s oldest sports, with records of early fights dating back to 1641.
      Why has Decca Heggie been arrested in the Philippines?
      On December 1, 2023, it was revealed that Heggie was facing deportation from the Philippines after alleged details of a past criminal conviction came to light.
      A UK source said: “The material emerging from the Philippines does not tally with the detainee’s record in the UK. 
      “The Philippine Bureau of Immigration will regularly deport people they deem to be undesirable and Heggie possibly falls into this bracket.”
      Taking to social media, Heggie told his followers: “I’ve done nothing wrong. I will fight this to the end.”
      What films has Decca Heggie been in?
      Heggie has a few film acting credits to his name, including 2019’s The Corrupted, starring Sam Claflin, Timothy Spall, and Hugh Bonneville.

      He has also featured in 2017’s My Name is Lenny, 2021’s Twist, and Netflix’s Jagame Thandhiram, also in 2021. 
      Heggie also appeared in two episodes of Bulletproof in 2020, available on Amazon. More

      Man City vs Tottenham: Spurs look to end abysmal run in a Super Sunday clash against Pep’s men – stream, TV, team news

      by

      FOOTBALL fans are in for a treat this Super Sunday as Tottenham look to end their poor run at Manchester City.The Treble winners host Ange Postecoglou’s exciting Spurs side in what promises to be a thrilling Premier League encounter.
      Manchester City overturned a two-goal deficit to win 3-2 against RB LeipzigCredit: Rex
      Pep Guardiola would have been frustrated to see his side drop points against Liverpool last weekend at the Etihad.
      But having watched them redeem themselves by coming from two down to win the five-goal thriller against RB Leipzig in the Champions league on Tuesday, the Cityzens come into it full of confidence.
      And their supporters will certainly be expecting three points against a Spurs side that have lost their last THREE matches.
      However, Postecoglou’s men have been severely hampered by a number of absences over recent weeks.
      Read more on Man City
      And they could potentially end the weekend level on points with City if they can upset the odds on Sunday.
      But once again they will have to try and end their miserable run without several of their stars.
      Postecoglou was already without nine first-team players going into last weekend.
      Now Rodrigo Bentancur is the latest player to be sidelined after tearing his ankle ligament in last week’s loss to Aston Villa.

      James Maddison, Richarlison and Micky van de Ven are among those that are also set to be absent for the long-term.
      However, Postecoglou could have a number of key men back to help bolster the ranks.
      Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the bumper showdown:

      Latest form
      City have looked vulnerable domestically over recent weeks defensively after they had battered Bournemouth 6-1.
      They were held by Chelsea in a thrilling 4-4 draw at Stamford Bridge before Liverpool left the Etihad with a share of the spoils last week – meaning they have only taken five points from a possible nine.
      Meanwhile, Spurs’ stunning unbeaten start to the campaign came to a screeching halt last month in the 4-1 home defeat to Chelsea where they finished with nine men.
      With injuries and suspensions scuppering Postecoglou’s plans since, they are still yet to recover.
      They blew a one goal lead at Wolves to lose 2-1 in their next game before they did the exact same thing at home to Villa last Sunday.
      What is the team news?
      Pep Guardiola would have been delighted to escape midweek’s Champions League encounter without any fresh injury concerns.
      But Mateo Kovacic (muscular), Kevin de Bruyne (hamstring) and Matheus Nunes (muscular) remain sidelined.
      Elsewhere, Ange Postecogolu has a lengthy list of players who are set to miss this huge match.
      Rodrigo Bentancur (ankle), Ryan Sessegnon (hamstring), Richarlison (groin), Manor Solomon (meniscus), James Maddison (ankle), Ivan Perisic (cruciate ligament), Micky Van de Ven (thigh), Hugo Lloris (groin) and Alfie Whiterman (ankle) are all out.
      Cristian Romero continues to serve a suspension after his straight red card against Chelsea.
      But Tottenham are hoping that Pape Sarr can return from a knock last weekend.

      Who will be the star men?
      With Erling Haaland leading the line, City are capable of beating anybody on the planet.
      The Norwegian star began their comeback against Leipzig, opened the scoring against Liverpool and grabbed two against Chelsea to take his tally to 19 for the campaign.
      Meanwhile, Spurs will be relying on their skipper Son Heung-min to fire them to victory.
      He has flourished in the role of replacing Harry Kane at No.9 and has eight goals this term.

      SunSport prediction
      Unfortunately we can’t see Tottenham returning to winning ways at the Etihad.
      And we think it will be City celebrating a 3-1 victory.
      What are the latest odds?

      Man City to win 1/4
      Draw 9/2
      Tottenham 17/2

      *Odds courtesy of Paddy Power are correct at time of publication

      When is Man City vs Tottenham?

      Manchester City host Tottenham THIS Sunday – December 3.
      It is scheduled to get underway at 4:30pm GMT.
      Etihad Stadium is the allocated arena for this match and it can host approximately 53,400 fans.
      Harry Kane’s first-half strike was enough to seal a shock win for Spurs when the sides last met in February.

      What TV channel is it on and can it be live streamed?

      Manchester City vs Tottenham will be broadcast LIVE on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League.
      Coverage is expected to commence from 4pm GMT – 30 minutes before kick-off.
      Fans can also stream the entire action through NOW TV on any mobile device or tablet.

      What are the Manchester United chants?
      Man United fans are often heard belting out their chants while supporting the team at Old Trafford.
      Though some may now be out of date, they still live on in the hearts of the team’s supporters.
      Harry Maguire
      Harry Maguire has been a hit with fans ever since he transferred to Man United from Leicester.
      Maguire even has his own special chant which is sung to the tune of La Bamba.
      READ MORE ON Manchester United
      The song goes:
      “M, U, F, C!
      Harry Maguire!
      Harry Maguire!
      Most read in Football
      He f***ed off Leicester, for Manchester,
      His head’s f***ing massive!”
      We shall not be moved
      The “we shall not be moved” song is perhaps one of the more well-known Man United chants that can often be heard being belted out by fans.
      The lyrics to this chant go:
      “We shall not, we shall not be moved,
      We shall not, we shall not be moved,
      Just like the team, that’s gonna win the football league (again)
      We shall not be moved.”
      Hello, hello
      This chant shouts out long-time Man United rivals Manchester City.
      The lyrics are:
      “Hello Hello, we are the Busby Boys,
      Hello Hello, we are the Busby Boys,
      And if you’re a City fan surrender or you’ll die,
      We all follow United!”
      Man United and Man City have had a fierce rivalry since the Victorian times.
      You are my Solskjaer
      This song is a tribute to football manager and former player Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
      The Norwegian was appointed as caretaker manager of Man United in 2018, and was then manager from March 2019 until November 2021.
      The chant is sung to the tune of Johnny Cash’s famous song You are My Sunshine and the lyrics go:
      “You are my Solskjaer,
      My Ole Solskjaer,
      You make me happy,
      When skies are grey,
      Oh Alan Shearer,
      Was f***ing dearer,
      So please don’t take,
      My Solskjaer away.”
      U-N-I-T-E-D
      This is another chant that references the Red Devils’ long-standing feud with rivals City.
      Fans chanting this one can be heard singing:
      “U-N-I-T-E-D,
      United are the team for me,
      With a knick knack paddy whack give a dog a bone,
      Why don’t City f*** off home.”
      We love United
      One of the more simpler chants, this song goes:
      “We love United, we do,
      We love United, we do,
      We love United, we do
      Ooh United we love you!”
      Glory, glory Man United
      Manchester United fans can often be heard singing this chant.
      The lyrics are:
      “Glory glory Man United,
      Glory glory Man United,
      Glory glory Man United,
      As the Reds go marching on on on!”
      There is also an extended version of the song.
      20 times
      This simple chant goes:
      “20 times, 20 times Man United,
      20 times 20 times I say,
      20 times 20 times Man United,
      Playing football the Busby way.”
      This song references one of the team’s former managers, Sir Matt Busby, who died in 1994.
      Take me home
      The “take me home” chant is sung to the tune of John Denver’s Take Me Home, Country Roads.
      The lyrics go:
      “Take me home, United Road,
      To the place I belong,
      To Old Trafford,
      To see United,
      Take me home, United Road.”
      United Calypso
      Manchester United fans have another chant that pays tribute to the late Matt Busby.
      The words to this song are:
      “Manchester, Manchester United,
      A bunch of bouncing Busby Babes,
      They deserve to be knighted.
      Whenever they are playing in your town,
      You must get to that football ground,
      Take a lesson come and see,
      Football taught by Matt Busby.”
      Busby was manager of Man United between 1945 and 1969, and again for the second half of the 1970/71 season.
      Matt Busby’s aces
      Yet another tribute to Man United’s former manager, “Matt Busby’s aces” features the lyrics:
      “Oh me lads,
      You should have seen us coming,
      Fastest team in the League,
      You should have seen us running,
      All the lads and lasses,
      With smiles upon their faces,
      Walking down the Warwick Road,
      To see Matt Busby’s aces!”
      Michael Carrick
      Man United have a number of chants dedicated to former player Michael Carrick.
      The footballer played for the team for 12 years and is now head coach of Middlesbrough.
      One of the songs dedicated to the star goes:
      “He can pass, tackle, head,
      Michael Carrick is a Red,
      Gerrard, Lampard, Fabregas, you’re not fit to wipe his a***!”
      Ohh aah Cantona
      Like Busby and Carrick, Eric Cantona is another Man United star who has several chants in his name.
      One of the most popular, “ooh aah Cantona,” goes:
      “Ooh Ah Cantona,
      Ooh Ah Cantona,
      Ooh Ah, Ooh Ah, Ooh Ah Cantona.”
      Cantona is widely regarded as one of the greatest Man United players of all time.
      George Best
      This chant is performed to the tune of Norman Greenbaum’s 1969 hit Spirit in the Sky.
      The song is in tribute to the late George Best, who played for the club for the most of his career.
      The lyrics to this song go:
      “Going on up to the spirit in the sky,
      It’s where I’m gonna go when I die,
      When I die and they lay me to rest,
      I’m gonna go on the p*** with Georgie Best.”
      Best passed way aged 59 in November 2005 as a result of a lung infection and multiple organ failure.
      Anthony Martial
      Anthony Martial, who transferred to Man United in 2015, has his own special chant.
      His song goes:
      “Tony Martial came from France,
      The English press said he had no chance,

      £50m down the drain,
      Tony Martial scores again.” More
