      by

      WAG Becky Vardy has launched an explosive rant at Kyle Walker’s missus – accusing her of “playing the victim” and branding her “a doormat”.The apparent feud came as cops launched an investigation into the Man City star, 32, after video emerged of him exposing himself during a night out.

      Fuming Becky, 41, wife of Leicester City ace Jamie, 36, hit out after model Annie Kilner, 30, told pals she was furious over an Instagram post that she believed appeared to make fun of her turmoil.
      But Becky – slammed by a judge over her conduct during the Wagatha Christie libel battle with Coleen Rooney, hit back by posting a brutal reply.
      It was accompanied by Michael Jackson’s hit Smooth Criminal, with the lyrics ‘Annie, are you okay? So, Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?’
      Becky wrote: “Waking up this morning to my name being associated with this delightful story in yet another opportunity to attack me!

      “Funny though isn’t it that it’s my name she wants to use rather than the people actually laughing at her for being a doormat.
      “Art of deflection to a T… great at playing the victim is our Annie.
      “I think she needs to focus with what’s going on in her own life instead of trying to attack me by bringing me into her drama (laughing emoji).
      “Believe me had it been about her I would have tagged her! She’s obsessed… I’m literally tired of being nice to people with short memories.

      “I’ve stayed silent while she’s bashed me in the media made lies up about me in her little community like a group of playground bullies! Just leave me alone.”
      Police spoke to staff at Revolution in Wilmslow, Cheshire, which Walker, two women plus male friends visited from 5.20pm to 7pm on Sunday.
      Other CCTV clips showed him pawing at one of the women and snogging her.
      Officers could interview the £150,000-a-week star under caution for indecent exposure, which carries a maximum two-year jail term.
      Walker could also be quizzed for outraging public decency, a common law offence that carries an unlimited fine and jail term.
      To prove their case police would need to demonstrate that two or more people were nearby when the “lewd, obscene or disgusting” act was committed.
      They do not necessarily need to have seen it, so long as there was potential for offence.
      Loyal Annie was left in the dark by the England and Manchester City footballer until The Sun broke the story.
      Walker has three sons with model wife Annie.
      She has stood by the player through heartbreaking sex scandals but is now said to be considering her future.
      A source said: “Annie knew what she signed up for when she married him.
      “She’s terrified of a police investigation and if that happened she would surely feel like she had to chuck him out. At the moment that hasn’t happened.
      “She’s worried about what others will be saying and thinking about her, and is mortified for their kids.
      “Kyle has assured Annie that City have it in hand and all will be fine. But it’s yet another humiliation for them all.”

      Cheshire Police last night said inquiries were at an early stage and that no arrests had been made.
      Walker, who has three sons with model wife Annie, was due to hold talks today in a bid to extend his City contract beyond June 2024.
      But bosses cancelled the meeting with immediate effect.
      A source said the player appeared more concerned that the investigation would derail a deal than the threat of court.
      Most read in Football
      They added: “His reaction sums him up perfectly.
      “He appears to be not concerned about the embarrassment this has caused his family, the club and their fans. What he appears really worried about is whether this will damage his chances of a contract extension.
      “That’s the problem right there. It demonstrates a complete contempt for what he’s done and the rules the rest of us have to abide by.”
      Police spoke to staff at Revolution in Wilmslow, Cheshire, which Walker, two women plus male friends visited from 5.20pm to 7pm on Sunday.
      Other clips showed him pawing at one of the women and snogging her.
      City refused to address the scandal publicly yesterday, insisting his behaviour was a personal matter.
      They said privately that Walker had not broken any club rules — despite footage clearly showing him exposing himself.
      Women’s Aid, which campaigns against domestic abuse, said: “Indecent exposure is a serious issue, and those who expose themselves purposely in a public place will be seeing what they can get away with.
      “If employers, including football clubs, do not take it seriously, it sends out a clear message about what is acceptable behaviour.”

      We hate living near major Premier League ground… parking is a nightmare, our cars get damaged by fans & cops won’t help

      by

      RESIDENTS living near a major Premier League ground say that parking is a nightmare and that fans keep damaging their cars – but cops won’t help.Chaotic parking, road closures and a mass of noisy sports fans near the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium have left residents furious.

      One local, who wished not to be named, has been affected first hand by rowdy crowds when her car wing mirror got knocked off by football fans. 
      The resident lives along Bromley Road, which is often used to herd football fans as security tries to separate the home and away supporters. 
      She said: “This road is sometimes where they herd fans through so it is always very busy with people.
      “They can be trouble. Our car wing mirror got whacked and broken and when we went to the police they just said ‘you have car insurance’.”
      Read More Football
      For events, the roads around the area are closed, making it difficult for residents to get out or in.
      The local added: “My husband had to go to work one day and he couldn’t get out. 
      Most read in The Sun
      “He had to argue with the stewards because he had to go to work and they wouldn’t budge. 
      “In the end he was allowed to go but it shouldn’t have to take him arguing to go to work.”
      Parking also is challenging during game days, when some residents are forced to park far from their houses because visitors take over the spaces. 
      The disgruntled local said: “You can get permits to park but it is normally not near the house and it is hard to find spaces.”
      As the chanting football fans or concert goers meander past, it’s impossible to not hear them. 
      She said: “It’s extremely noisy when the fans are herded down the road but they are not always too bad. It depends on the game really. 
      “The times we worry is when we have a football team that is kind of local like Arsenal. Then the crowds can be bad.
      “We complain but nothing really happens.”
      Another resident said: “The road is closed all the way to Seven Sisters so I see that it can be inconvenient. 
      “And the tubes and trains are completely over crowded making travelling anywhere from here difficult.”
      “There are sometimes some crazy people and when they congregate together they can be more boisterous.”
      Local Codon Traian, 40, dreads big game days. 
      He said: “There is a lot of noise and it can be dangerous because there are fights.
      “People smash those Corona bottles so it is bad sometimes.”
      While the construction worker does not feel worried going out on game days, he does fear for his son.
      He added: “I don’t feel scared but I do have a son and I would be scared for him.”
      One resident, who didn’t want to be named, shared this opinion and simply said: “It’s absolutely terrible.”
      Not all residents mind living next door to Spurs.
      Sarah Ring, 30, said: “I think it’s great having it there. 
      “There are so many events available for residents – they even do career days. 
      “It’s great going down there when events are on as they have lots of markets so it’s really fun to take the kids.
      “It’s very safe during big events. There are so many stewards. It feels very safe.”
      The mum said: “It’s a really good system. They put letters through our doors about upcoming events so we are prepared. 
      “Road signs are put up too telling us which roads will close and they are very quick when the event has finished to move the barriers and put everything back to normal.
      “When the new stadium was built they ensured that there was a level of sound proofing.” 
      Sarah added: “It’s not as loud with the new stadium, you can’t hear it really and when you can it doesn’t bother me.

      “The club has really boosted the area and I’m sure pushed up the value of houses as more is going on here now.”
      Tottenham Hotspur and the Metropolitan Police have been contacted for comment.

      But victory over Leeds at the weekend sees Graham Potter and his side head into tonight’s second leg with renewed confidence.
      However, the match was DELAYED by ten minutes following the late arrival of the German giants.
      They turned up nearly 30 minutes late due to major congestion around Stamford Bridge, which was in part caused by thousands of fans of both teams walking through the streets of West London.
      Dortmund’s late arrival left them with less than an hour to prepare for the second leg of the tie – which was delayed by ten minutes.

      Supporters were spotted “scrambling over the barriers outside the ground in chaotic scenes” prior to the match.
      And an unknown number appear to have gained entry into the stadium without a ticket.
      Manager Edin Terezic said of his side’s later arrival: “We had a bit of a delay but we are here and ready to fight for the next round.
      “We didn’t know if we would start on time or if there will be a delay to kick off, it is disturbing a lot.”

      The Chelsea team received a warm welcome as home fans let off a blue flare to welcome the team coach to Stamford Bridge.
      However, Dortmund are also set to have a huge backing and the capital has already seen them take over.
      The thousands of travelling supporters, led by cops, marched through the streets of London towards the ground before kick off as they performed renditions of their favourite anthems.
      However, tensions began to mount outside the stadium according to those on the scene as they were held by police before later it emerged a number had stormed the cordons.
      Journalist Matt Pearson tweeted a photo of the jam-packed streets and wrote: “Thousands of Borussia Dortmund fans being held behind a police cordon ahead of #CHEBVB.
      “Couple of little skirmishes, it’s been a long wait.”
      Meanwhile, Potter has made two changes for the showdown.
      Reece James returns at right-wing back in place of Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
      And Marc Cucurella is starting at left-centre back in place of Benoit Badiashile.

      Otherwise, BVB are unchanged following their 2-1 win against RB Leipzig with England star Jude Bellingham starting in midfield for them.

      by

      A preliminary investigation was opened last week after a woman accused the footie star of rape.
      The woman alleged the 24-year-old assaulted her after inviting her to his home while his wife Hiba Abouk was on holiday with their kids.
      Hakimi was questioned by prosecutors on Thursday and denied wrongdoing.
      The footballer’s lawyer, Fanny Colin, later released a statement noting that Hakimi “strongly denies” the allegations and alleging that he is a victim of attempted racketeering, ESPN reports.

      The statement read: “According to the elements currently at the disposal of the police that M. Hakimi, in this case, is the victim of an attempt of racketeering.”
      “Achraf Hakimi strongly denied the accusations against him during his police interview.”
      According to Le Parisien, the 24-year-old defender began talking to the woman on January 16 on Instagram.
      He allegedly then invited her to his home in Boulogne on Saturday, reportedly ordering her an Uber to transport her.
      Most read in Football
      She claimed he assaulted her before she was able to free herself by kicking him then texted a friend to pick her up.
      The woman went to a police station but said she did not want to press charges.
      Prosecutors launched an investigation due to the seriousness of the allegations.
      Meanwhile, TV actress Hiba, 36, is believed to have dumped the star with reports suggesting they have been estranged for weeks.
      They have not been seen together in public for months.
      And following the rape allegation she is “accelerating” proceedings to separate for good, according to Cierre Digital.
      She has not publicly commented, but an Instagram post shows her walking on a Dubai beach with her two young sons.
      She captioned it “Adding moments”, and added the hashtags “family first” and one translating as “I’d die for mine”.
      The pair met in 2018 when Hakimi was in Dortmund, seeing her relocate from Madrid.

      They got married in a secret wedding in 2020 before welcoming their first son, while their second child was born in 2022.

      Moment Rangers fans attack pub after cup final before being chased off by ‘Celtic maws’

      by

      THIS is the moment a mob of Rangers fans attacked a pub before being chased off by a group of “Celtic maws”.The CCTV camera footage shows the group, mostly dressed in all black with hoods and balaclavas on, charging at the Glasgow boozer.

      It also shows people throwing traffic cones and pyrotechnics at the PJ Neeson pub on Allison Street in the city’s Govanhill around 5:15pm on Sunday.
      We previously told how lit flares were thrown into the boozer and a man’s shirt caught fire after Sunday’s Old Firm League Cup final where Celtic beat Rangers 2-1.
      But the newly-emerged security footage shows how a group of women rushed from the under-attack pub to challenge the footie yobs.
      One woman – holding what appears to be a pool cue – ran out to confront one of the masked hooligans.

      She was filmed kicking at him in the middle of the road as others rushed to get between the pair.
      Other women ran from the pub and into the road to fend off the yobs and pulled the first woman back to the pavement.
      The footage went viral after being shared on social media, gathering over 3,000 likes.
      And the women who ran out to confront the hooligans have been branded “Celtic maws” by social media users.
      Most read in Football
      Fans were quick to react to the clip, with one playing a pun on a classic song by The Clash, joking: “I fought the maws and the maws won.”
      Police were called to the area after the trouble flared up following the final.
      But officers confirmed that the crowds were dispersed and no arrests were made.
      P.J Neeson previously declined to comment when approached by the Scottish Sun.
      It comes as four people were arrested after the match as cops probe an alleged pre-match ‘hooligan brawl’.
      Police confirmed they nicked four people for disorder-related offences in response to a number of alleged incidents.
      It followed a street battle between hooligans from both sides hours before the final.
      The fans were seen in Glasgow’s southside after swarming towards each other at the west and north sides of the ground before breakfast time.
      It’s believed cops will crack down hard on the two groups of ‘ultras’ and will use social media videos to help find those involved.
      But the brawl has led to a top cup saying footie ultras should be BANNED from getting early access to stadiums to lay out banners.
