      Zak Chelli vs. Anthony Sims Jr.
      Credit where it is due, Zak Chelli put in a good performance over the course of the 10 rounds.
      Sims looked a passenger for too much of the fight but in the 8th round at least, he attacked.
      Chelli still had to be wary of a potential for getting caught by one but he didn’t treat it like a street brawl to get it done.
      He will gain a lot from that fight.

      Think his corner have had some honest words with him.
      Chelli ends up on the canvas but nothing to do with a punch as Sims throws him to the ground.

      Zak Chelli vs. Anthony Sims Jr. (Round 7)
      Chelli seems to be able to hold Sims at bay too much.
      He is only landing a few shots in the round but Sims is not attacking at all.
      Maybe he is conserving his energy.
      Zak Chelli vs. Anthony Sims Jr. (Round 6)
      Chelli takes another round on the scorecard.
      Sims is struggling to land anything that is likely to do any damage at all.

      It won’t be long before Chelli gets a telling blow through.
      Zak Chelli vs. Anthony Sims Jr. (Round 5)
      Chelli manages to land some big hits in that round.

      Zak Chelli vs. Anthony Sims Jr. (Round 4)
      Chelli has a much better round there.

      Didn’t land any telling ones but the intent was there.
      Zak Chelli vs. Anthony Sims Jr. (Round 3)
      Sims starts to look a bit more aggressive.
      He is trying to get in close to Chelli and when he does he fires off some combinations looking to hurt his opponent.
      Chelli seems to focussing on the body.
      He is throwing haymakers that aren’t connecting.

      Zak Chelli vs. Anthony Sims Jr. (Round 2)
      Both boxers seem to be a bit cagey in this one.
      Body shots are being landed but that is about it.
      In all fairness, they both seem to be defending the face well.
      Zak Chelli vs. Anthony Sims Jr. (Round 1)
      Both boxers go through the motions in the first round.
      Exchanging jabs, testing each other’s defence.

      Scheduled as a ten round fight.
      Viddal Riley vs. Anees Taj
      Well, the doctor did the right thing there to stop that.
      Taj’s eye looked like a shark bite.
      That would have opened up to the point where we could see skull.
      Solid win for Viddal Riley.

      Referee calls doctor to the ring
      Viddal Riley vs. Anees Taj (Round 3)
      Both boxers exchange blows but Riley manages to cut Taj’s eye open.
      Viddal Riley starts to work the cut as blood stream from Taj’s eye.
      This could work to Riley’s advantage now as this may get stopped if the blood obscures his vision.
      Anees Taj is starting to look like a body double for Rocky Balboa in the 12th round against Ivan Drago.

      Viddal Riley vs. Anees Taj (Round 2)
      Taj manages to land a big left on his opponent as they both swing punches at each other at the same time.

      Anees Taj is leading with the jab well.
      Viddal Riley vs. Anees Taj (Round 1)
      Both boxers take the first round easy as they sound each other out.
      Taj goes for it initially, looking to finish this like he’s got a taxi with a meter running outside.
      He lowers the levels for the rest of the round.
      Next fight up……..
      Now we move onto a cruiserweight bout.
      Viddal Riley vs. Anees Taj
      Riley was sounding confident backstage earlier.
      We are in for eight rounds in this one.
      Tyler Denny vs. Brad Pauls
      No surprise to the judges scores there.
      The champ retains his belt.
      Pauls just couldn’t compete at the level needed to stop his opponent.
      Tyler Denny wins by judges scores
      Tyler Denny vs. Brad Pauls (Round 10)
      Brad Pauls needs to knockout Denny in this round.
      He doesn’t seem to realise this and is still boxing like we are all winners.
      Denny is boxing like somebody who knows he has the points decision in the bag.
      Brad Pauls looks very tired now.
      His punches are landing with no power at all.
      Denny lands a good right hand as blood spills onto the canvas.
      That might be a broken nose.
      Tyler Denny vs. Brad Pauls (Round 9)
      It’s amazing how many punches to the back of the head land in these fights.
      They are likely to more damage than anything else.
      Then again, if referee pulled them up each time this happened, this fight would never finish.
      Nothing of note in that round, other than it being the penultimate of the fight.
      Tyler Denny vs. Brad Pauls (Round 8)
      Both fighters land some big body shots.
      Denny goes big with some combos and hooks but Pauls manages to duck and weave, dodging them all.
      Dodge, Duck, Dip, Dive and Dodge.
      Classic advice from a classic film.
      Pauls lands some good jabs towards the end of the round.

      Mee crosses and the ball is laid back to Jensen, but he can’t keep his effort down from the edge of the box.

      Not much has happened since Toney struck the bar.
      Arsenal continuing to knock the ball around but they’re lacking a creative spark.

      24. Arsenal 0-0 Brentford
      Best chance of the game.

      17. Arsenal 0-0 Brentford

      Brentford really struggling to offer much on the counter besides Henry’s chance.
      15. Arsenal 0-0 Brentford
      Saka plays a one-two with Odegaard and is in the clear but his shot is easy for Raya in the end.
      But he was under pressure from Rafa behind him.
      13. Arsenal 0-0 Brentford
      Quiet phase in the game with Arsenal keeping the ball in the middle of the park for the majority of it.
      Brentford have defended well so far.
      10. Arsenal 0-0 Brentford
      Arsenal having to stay patient as they keep the ball nicely before Martinelli’s shot is blocked and Raya easily gathers.
      Up the other end, Mbeumo has the ball in the net, but Peter Banks had already blown up for a foul earlier.
      8. Arsenal 0-0 Brentford
      The resulting corner falls nicely for Zinchenko, but it’s on his right foot and he drives it well over the bar.
      7. Arsenal 0-0 Brentford
      Arsenal have seen loads of the ball but they’re yet to create a meaningful chance.
      As a I say that, Odegaard plays a fine pass for Martinelli, but the angle is tight and Raya makes the save.

      5. Arsenal 0-0 Brentford
      What a chance for Brentford as Toney puts it across and Henry surely just has to turn it home from close range, but he somehow sends it wide.
      Massive let off for Arsenal.

      4. Arsenal 0-0 Brentford
      Brentford hardly had a kick so far with Partey seeing plenty of the ball so far.
      Odegaard has a shot blocked before Nketiah sends over a fine cross but Ajer is fouled by Xhaka and wins his side a free-kick.
      2. Arsenal 0-0 Brentford
      Promising start from the home side with Saka and Nketiah both getting a touch of the ball in the early exchanges.
      Nketiah looks to slide in Odegaard on the left, but his pass is overhit.

      Good night from the Emirates
      That brings an end to our coverage and Arsenal have fluffed their lines ahead of their huge clash with Manchester City on Wednesday.
      The Gunners still have a six points lead, but that could be cut to three by the time they meet next week.

      Trossard left frustrated
      Leandro Trossard was left with mixed feelings after his first Arsenal goal wasn’t enough to earn three points.
      “Yeah of course it’s nice to have the goal as it gets me going but after that it’s disappointing they got the equaliser. It’s a tough one to take. We did everything well. To score against Brentford isn’t easy.
      “We said before on the set-pieces they’re really good and today it happened again. We have to learn from that. There’s a game again on Wednesday to turn things around.
      “You don’t get your way every game. We have to work hard every single day. There’s a great atmosphere in the team and we have to keep that momentum going even when results don’t go your way.”Leandro TrossardBBC Sport

      Why are the Club World Cup referees wearing microphones?

      by

      FOOTBALL fans have begged for more transparency on refereeing decisions – and they could finally be getting their wish.For all its controversy, the introduction of VAR has helped referees to often make the correct call on several incidents.
      VAR has become a huge part of modern day footballCredit: Getty
      And the semi-automatic offside system played a huge role in decision making at the World Cup.
      However, fans still feel as if they have been left in the dark once a conclusion has been agreed by the match officials.
      But that could all change should this new trial go according to plan.
      Why are the Club World Cup referees wearing microphones?
      The Club World Cup referees have been trialling technology which allows fans in the stadium to hear match officials explaining decisions.

      It has been set in place for fans to have more transparency on how the referees have come to their decision following a VAR review.
      And the Club World Cup which began on February 1, 2023 is the first event of a 12-month trial period in international contests.
      What has been said?
      The trial was implemented by the International Football Association Board.
      FIFA Referees Committee Chairman Pierluigi Collina said that the purpose of this trial is to make the VAR intervention more ‘understandable for all’ including spectators watching from home.

      He said: “As language could be one of the issues, we thought this FIFA Club World Cup would be perfect because it’s a multi-language competition, with teams and, of course, spectators involved coming from all six of the different continents.
      “I have to say that there are other experiences in other sports, namely the NFL in American football, who have been doing this for quite a long time.
      “It seems that the referees are pretty comfortable with this. More

      RON RODDAN is one of the most iconic coaches in British athletics history.He most famously coached Linford Christie to Olympic 100 metres gold in 1992 at the Barcelona Olympics.

      Roddan coached many household names in the vibrant athletics scene of the 1980s and 1990s, when it was one of the most-watched sports on TV.
      He also oversaw the careers of Katherine Merry and Darren Campbell when they won medals at the 2000 Sydney Olympics.
      Who was Ron Roddan?
      Ron Roddan was a Civil Service lab assistant until he started coaching in athletics in 1979.
      He made his name as a sprint coach at Thames Valley Harriers.
      Roddan met Christie at West London Stadium – a track that would later be named after the champ himself.
      He became part of the furniture in the London athletics scene and slowly coaxed the best of out Christie’s abilities.
      It was Christie who claimed silver in the 100m behind Carl Lewis at the most infamous race of all time – the 1988 Olympic final in Seoul.
      Christie thought he had claimed bronze, only for Canadian winner Ben Johnson to be disqualified after the final.

      Four years later Christie went to Barcelona as a contender and was second fastest going into the final.
      But he won the Olympic gold in 9.96 seconds – a race Roddan infamously missed because he had hurt his ankle.
      He watched the race on a TV in the warm-up area instead.
      When did Ron Roddan die?
      Christie announced on his Instagram page that Roddan had passed away.
      He posted a picture of them together with the words: “Broken R I E P RON “Rocket” RODDAN.
      His agency Nuff Respect then confirmed the news, that he died in the early hours of February 10, 2023.
      A statement said: “It is with deep sadness that we heard the news that the amazing and irreplaceable Ron Roddan passed away in the early hours of this morning.

      “Ron was a valued coach at Thames Valley Harriers which came to be his second home, but his relationships reached far beyond West London.

      “His coaching achievements are too many to mention but the most obvious is the Olympic, World, Commonwealth and European medals that Linford won with Ron by his side and the Olympic medals won by Katherine Merry and Darren Campbell at the Sydney Olympics.
      “Ron was devoted to his athletes, brutally honest, pushing them to their absolute best. This most modest of men was at his happiest with a stopwatch in his hand, standing trackside.” More

      And things went from bad to worse for United as Crysencio’s Summerville’s deflected effort rolled past David De Gea shortly after the interval.
      However, the momentum swung in United’s favour once Marcus Rashford pulled one back having leapt up highest to connect with Diego Dalot’s sublime cross.
      Then Old Trafford erupted when super sub Jadon Sancho’s moment of magic forced both teams to share the spoils.
      Leeds squandered United’s chance of going level with Manchester City last time out, but a win for Erik Ten Hag’s men would now see them jump above their noisy neighbours.
