      ARSENAL dropped points for the first time this season thanks to a moment of stupidity from Declan Rice.The Gunners were leading Brighton 1-0 before a moment of petulance from the £105million man early in the second half.Arsenal dropped points for the first time this season against BrightonCredit: REUTERSKai Havertz fired the Gunners into the lead but his strike was cancelled out in the second halfCredit: REXDeclan Rice’s stupid red card cost the Gunners dearlyCredit: GETTYRice, 25, received a second yellow card in the 49th minute for prodding the ball away from Joel Veltman as the Dutchman went to take a quick free kick.And a mere nine minutes later, Joao Pedro cancelled out Kai Havertz’s sumptuous first-half finish.The draw has ended Arsenal’s 100 per cent start to the new campaign, which will no doubt have annoyed manager Mikel Arteta.And SunSport is on hand to rate and slate the performances of the Spaniard’s troops.READ MORE ARSENAL NEWSDavid Raya – 6/10Initially had very little to do but was solid on the few occasions he was called upon.

      Shock surge in price of replica Premier League shirts revealed including club whose top now costs £27 more than in 2019

      by

      PREMIER League sides have hiked the cost of new season shirts – with some rocketing 56 per cent in five years, we can reveal.Half the 20 top-flight clubs charge £80 or more for a standard adult replica jersey.Premier League replica shirts are soaring in priceCredit: RexMany fans are being expected to fork out £70-£80 for a jerseyCredit: GettyForest shirts have gone up a whopping 56%West Ham shirts have gone up 36%Another four want at least £70.The worst are Nottingham Forest who, in 2019, put a £48 price tag on an adult top.It now costs £75.Dr Peter Rohlmann, who is a German sports marketing expert, told The Sun on Sunday: “Ten years ago the price of Premier League replica shirts was the lowest in Europe, but demand from football fans has grown extraordinarily.READ MORE FOOTBALL NEWS“Clubs’ expectations on kit suppliers have also increased, so the battle between manufacturers is becoming stronger and more expansive. Replica shirts are now the most popular merchandise for each football club.”Consumer expert Jane Hawkes insisted the prices are “not remotely justifiable”.She said: “This is another own goal by mega-rich football clubs.“Shirt prices seem to have been soaring since the pandemic and, with no big rise in production costs, it is hard to see any justification.Most read in Football“Pricing merchandise out of reach for loyal fans in a cost-of-living crisis is unfair and could, in the long term, backfire on clubs.”Ahead of the Euros, the England shirt was being sold for £125.Meet the new Wags of the Premier League season, from a Belgian interior designer to a Portuguese modelSome clubs, including Brentford, have tried to help fans by only bringing out a new top every two years.Their 2023/25 home shirt remains one of the cheapest at £60.Tottenham charges £85.Every club was contacted for comment.Tottenham put price increases down to a rise in general manufacturing, materials and shipping costs, and vowed to give fans “the most innovative and high-quality product possible”.A Brentford spokesman said: “We believe in football being affordable for our fans. The two-year cycle not only ensures affordability, but aligns with our commitment to reducing waste and promoting a greener future.”Palace shirts have increased by 20%I spent £338 on gearNEWCASTLE fan Michael Bramley forked out £338 on kit.That included home and away adult shirts, a child’s top, shorts, socks and a kid’s jacket.He says all clubs should have two-year shirt cycles, like Brentford, to help families.Michael, 37, who makes hospital equipment, said: “Last year, we managed to buy our son, Jake, seven, a full kit for £55. But now that’s the price of the shirt.“I’ve seen the prices increasing over the years. Two-year kit cycles should be mandatory to help the fans.“There’s a pressure to buy new shirts every year and Jake wouldn’t go without the new kit.“I hope that working-class families don’t get priced out of going to games and getting the shirts if prices continue to go up.”Model and social media manager Michele Ortiz-McGhee, 36, had to get her nine-year-old son Tom to buy his own Fulham kit.The mum of two said: “He used pocket money because we can’t afford it. We are about to fork out for new school uniform.“My husband and I can’t afford new tops ourselves. The clubs are laughing all the way to the bank. It is so unfair.“There should be a limit put on the price of these tops.” More

      Floyd Mayweather ‘does not have the money he says he does’ as doubts raised about $1billion fortune

      by

      EDDIE HEARN has raised doubts over Floyd Mayweather’s fortune. Mayweather affectionately nicknamed himself Money throughout his career and perhaps it was appropriate due to his sensational earnings. Floyd Mayweather ahead of his next exhibition fightCredit: GettyMayweather is the richest fighter of all timeCredit: Instagram @floydmayweatherHe is known for his extravagant lifestyleCredit: Instagram @liramsustielHe topped Forbes’ rich list of the decade in 2019 with over £700MILLION made in the ring. But Mayweather has been plagued with allegations of blowing through his wealth in retirement. And his recent series of exhibition bouts against stars of the boxing, MMA and social media world have not helped dispel the claims. Even British promoter Hearn has questioned Mayweather’s fortune and decision to carry on boxing. READ MORE IN BOXINGHe said on GRM Daily: “I don’t think he’s got the money he says, that’s what I think. “I don’t think he needs the money but you know when you’ve got that lifestyle, when he’s spending what he spending.” Mayweather, 47, officially retired in 2017 after beating UFC superstar Conor McGregor, 36, in a crossover bout believed to have earned him £300m alone. But he has continued to box in exhibitions since, most recently last June against the grandson of notorious crime boss John Gotti. Most read in BoxingCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERSGotti III was disqualified in round six which sparked a post-fight brawl in the ring leading to a subsequent rematch in Mexico on August 24. And Mayweather revealed he could have at least another three more spectacle showdowns afterwards.

He said: “Am I doing it for the money? Absolutely not. I’m doing it because this is what I want to do. It’s not like I’m hurting. “And the people are enjoying it, my team is enjoying it and it’s good to be able to travel to different places and train and shake hands with different people from all walks of life.” Mayweather facing off with John Gotti IIICredit: Rex More

      CALLUM SIMPSON used to fit Kell Brook’s shoes but now he wants to fill his boots.Barnsley’s 27-year-old super-middleweight put himself through college with a part-time job in a menswear shop where Sheffield’s former welterweight world champ would pop in for free gear.Callum Simpson fights Zak Chelli at Barnsley’s Oakwell stadiumCredit: GettySimpson and Sheffield’s world champion Kell Brook go way backCredit: https://www.instagram.com/callumsimp/Simpson would have to race up and down stairs to cater for his celebrated fellow Yorkshireman.But now the tables have turned and Brook will drive 12 miles up the M1 to support Simpson, in his bid to dethrone dangerous British and Commonwealth champ Zak Chelli.Ahead of Saturday’s shootout at Simpson’s beloved Barnley’s Oakwell stadium, he told SunSport: “Between the ages of 16-18 I worked part-time, while I was still in college, in a clothes shop that sponsored Kell Brook.“When Kell would come in I would have to wait for him to pick all the shoes he wanted, run upstairs to find them all in his size, then loosen all the laces so be could slide them on, like Cinderella.Read more in Boxing“We would get free tickets for his fights when they were at the Sheffield arena and my mates would always tell me ‘that’ll be you one day’.“And now I am signed with Boxxer and Sky Sports and Kell has messaged me to say he will come over and watch.“So going from loosening his shoes to having him at ringside will be a nice and surreal moment. But it’s all come from hard work.”Simpson continued to subsidise his training and fighting with work in fashion right up until last year when he broke out of the small-hall circuit.Most read in BoxingBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSHe’s timed his 14-0 form perfectly as the new Saudi money flooding into the sport is giving some of these brave men the fortunes they deserve.But boxing fans should remember the blood, sweat, tears and honest toil they all go through to get anywhere near the top.Inside Anthony Joshua’s amazing car collection “This stuff doesn’t happen overnight,” the down-to-earth lad said.“When I had my first area title fight in 2022, my first 10-rounder, I was training twice-a-day and working 45hr weeks, Saturdays and Sundays.“For that fight I weighed-in at Friday lunchtime and rushed into work to make up the time, then boxed on Saturday and worked all day Sunday.“My second fight was a four-rounder in 2019, on a Josh Warrington undercard at Leeds arena and I worked the next day.When I had my first area title fight in 2022, my first 10-rounder, I was training twice-a-day and working 45hr weeks, Saturdays and SundaysCallum Simpsom“But because I worked in a busy store, not tucked away in an office or on a building site, I was having lads come up all day looking puzzled.“They were asking me if I was really the bloke they had seen box the night before and what the hell I was doing there trying to sell them jeans and trainers. “Because fans often think that if you box on TV then you are instantly a millionaire, like the footballers, but it’s far from it. Nothing comes overnight in boxing.”Simpson first caught our eye when he walked into a show as a VIP fan wearing an outrageous pink and furry jacket and sunglasses.It looked like he was the latest boxer to full victim to the glitz-and-glamour charade that ruins so many young talents.I know exactly what one you mean and I only wore it because I had just bought in Milan – and that sounds posh but it was only in H&M over there!Callum SimpsonCallum Simpson looked the part when he met Kano in his pink jumperCredit: https://www.instagram.com/callumsimp/But he put us right perfectly, explaining: “I know exactly what one you mean and I only wore it because I had just bought in Milan – and that sounds posh but it was only in H&M over there!“I love fashion and clothes, I have always worked in it too.

      I run Britain’s cheapest pub but I’ve BANNED football – you won’t be able to sip a £2.40 pint during Euros at my boozer

      ONE of Britain’s cheapest pubs WON’T be showing the Euros this summer despite football fever hitting the country.Sinclair’s Oyster Bar in Manchester is well known for its old-world interior and its fascinating history.Sinclair’s Oyster Bar in Manchester won’t be showing the Euros this summerCredit: STEVE ALLENCallum Jepson and his mum Lisa Sauicz are patrons at the pubCredit: STEVE ALLENRichard Meaden and Michael Meaden praised the cheap prices and great locationCredit: STEVE ALLENThe boozer is also renowned for its low prices with a pint of mild or dark lager being a snip at just £2.40.Customers love its low prices and olde-world character, but keeping overheads down in order to maintain low prices means they can’t watch the footie action. As part of the Samuel Smith’s chain, it also aims to recreate the simpler times of the past.It means screens and mobile phones banned inside, to encourage punters to chat while sipping on their bargain beer.Read More in FootballEngland got off to a winning start at the weekend securing a 1-0 win over Serbia and will be looking to secure their place in the Euro 2024 knockout phase this evening when they take on Denmark in Frankfurt.A first place position will see the Three Lions handed an easier route to the quarter-finals with a last-16 tie against a third-place finisher.But Denmark will be sure to come out fighting as failure to beat the Three Lions tonight could leave them on the back foot in third place.With the likes of Manchester United stars Rasmus Hojlund and Christian Eriksen to contend with, the match could prove tricky.Most read in FootballHowever, regulars say they don’t care about missing it or watching elsewhere if they can enjoy such a great pub for so little.And many say they are glad the Euros aren’t blaring out – preferring to sip their cheap pints in peace.Barry Tottey, 64, from Holmes Chapel said: “I’m not bothered that they aren’t showing it. “If I wanted to go and watch it I could go to a sports bar.” But he questioned whether the rules of Samuel Smith – who does not allow any screens, phones or technology in his pubs – were out of date.Barry also added: “He (Samuel Smith) needs to open more of the lovely pubs that are closed.”England fans at the Euro clash with Denmark will be allowed to watch the action with a pint in their hands for the first time in nearly 40 yearsFriend Darren Keates, 60, said: “People know it’s a Samuel Smith pub and you can’t go in there and use the phone. They have to not show it to keep the costs down.”Lisa Sauicz, 49, was enjoying an al fresco drink at the pub before heading to Coop Live to see The Killers with her son Callum Jepson, 29. She said: “If the Euros is on I feel there should be somewhere for people to view it but there are plenty of bars that do show it. But we are off to see The Killers so we don’t care!”Kathleen Harrison, 76, said: “We come here once every few weeks when the sun is shining. We have just had three halves of lager for £5.”Sister Anne Hughes, 78, says: “We can sit outside when it’s sunny and there are plenty of people so we can watch the world go by. It’s very cheap and it’s a lovely old pub.”Musician Nick Miller, 60, says: “I am glad they don’t show the Euros here, it’s nice to be away from it.”If I wanted to watch it I could go next door, it’s nice to come here and relax – it’s a welcome reprieve.” Friend Andy Miller, 70, says: “I have been coming here for 30 years and I like coming for the stout. The prices are very reasonable.”I’m not into football so it’s perfect they don’t play it, I don’t want to hear it – it’s so loud, I want some peace and relaxation.”The Grade II listed building was moved and meticulously rebuilt brick by brick following damage during the Christmas blitz in 1941 and a later close call with an IRA bomb in 1996. Today, the 1720s picturesque inn is still standing proudly in its most recent spot – bang in the heart of the city centre.Michael Meaden, 40, a taxi driver said: “The location is great, sitting outside, it’s a cracking day and the beers are very cheap.”Soaring pint pricesTHE sobering prospect of paying £25 a pint by 2040 is on the horizon, a study warns.
      The average cost of a lager has already gone up 11 per cent this year to £4.69.
      If that rate is maintained ­annually, then in 16 years it will cost a wallet-busting £25.70.
      Drinkers have already faced a  28 per cent rise over the past five years from when a pint was  £3.67.
      The latest research, by FruitySlots.com and based on Office for National ­Statistics data, adds to pressure on boozers as beer becomes increasingly unaffordable.
      Pub closures are already up  51 per cent to 80 a month in the first three months of this year.

      Police Officer Richard Meaden, 40 agreed the city isn’t without its venues for showing the matches and said Sinclairs doesn’t need to show them.He said: “If I want to watch it, there are plenty of places. I think if they showed it here, you wouldn’t be able to get in. I don’t think they need to.”I think the pub appeals more to people who are out and about and just want to drink.”Day tripper Liz Kenny, 74, said: “I like coming in here, it’s cheap beer – it’s the cheapest place in Manchester.
