      Jesse Lingard’s brother slams Man Utd legends Keane and Neville over ‘double standards’ after Sky Sports rants

      by

      JESSE LINGARD’S brother has leapt to the defence of the Manchester United players after several pundits laid into them following their 2-0 defeat to Manchester City.The Red Devils were swatted aside by the Premier League champions, succumbing to an own goal by Eric Bailly and a second from Bernardo Silva.

      Keane was incredibly angry at what he saw at Old Trafford on Saturday
      Sky Sports commentator Gary Neville proceeded to slam his former club after the game along with the studio panel of Graeme Souness, Roy Keane and Micah Richards.
      But Louie Scott, the brother of Man Utd man Lingard, ripped into the pundits’ assessment of the match.
      Speaking on Instagram, he said: “Didn’t know Sky show live training sessions now.
      “Keane just said go smash someone. Pogba did it last week and got killed for it by Scholes. Double standards.
      “Stop reading into these pundits!!! Still waiting for G.Nev to talk about body language…Oh I forgot he will only say that about the players.”
      England international Lingard was an unused substitute in the match as pressure grew even more on manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

      Keane’s rage boiled over on the Sky coverage as he was left apoplectic at what he had seen from his former club.
      The Irishman believes it was an even more harrowing display than the 5-0 defeat to Liverpool 13 days earlier.
      He said: “It felt worse [than Liverpool]. City are a different type of team to Liverpool. They were happy to keep the ball and they just toyed with United.
      “It was so poor. Men v Boys. Foden mentioned it is a tough place to come, it is not. Ask Everton, ask Villa, ask Liverpool. I know the away record has been fantastic but ultimately it is what you do at home.
      “McTominay, Fred. These players are not good enough for Manchester United.
      “I was not shocked about Bailey. He has that in him, he is erratic. After a derby game you should be drained and exhausted. Foden is chatting as if he has had a practice game. 
      “Ole…The first day he got the job people did not think he was up to it because of his track record. Pressure is going to build on Ole.
      “For the second goal, I look at Shaw and De Gea who are established international football players. How they cannot smell the danger. These boys are too casual. 
      “Ole has to take responsibility. I have defended him for the last two years. They have to look at it and see they have to get more out of these players. They are so short in midfield in terms of physicality and quality.
      BETTING SPECIAL – GET SALAH TO SCORE AND LIVERPOOL TO WIN AT 40/1
      “Today I am feeling sorry for them. Some of them just aren’t up for playing for Manchester United.”
      The loss leaves Man Utd well adrift in the Premier League title race as they appear to already be in a fight for the top four.
      Solskjaer’s side have won just five of their opening 11 Prem games and remain dreadfully out of sorts. More

      Soccer Saturday legend Jeff Stelling’s shock live-on-air decision to quit Sky Sports sparked by axing of old co-hosts

      by

      JEFF Stelling’s shock live-on-air decision to quit Sky Sports was sparked by the axing of his old co-hosts.He was said to be furious when Charlie Nicholas, Phil Thompson and Matt Le Tissier were given the boot last year.

      The popular presenter believed he had not been consulted properly and felt a sense of loyalty to the trio.
      The reason for their departure has never been confirmed by Sky but many think it was because they were three white men in their 50s and 60s.
      Jeff, 66, revealed this weekend on Soccer Saturday — the show he joined in 1994 — that this would be his last ­season on the programme.
      But he was not intending to retire.
      An insider said: “Phil, Charlie and Matt were not just colleagues they were mates, and that means a huge amount to him. Jeff is believed to have thought of little else other than of leaving since then.
      “He has just been waiting for the right opportunity. If the three hadn’t been axed the way they were, Jeff would have stayed on.”

      Jeff, who got a standing ovation from studio pundits when he made his announcement, said: “I’ve loved every moment but the time eventually comes to blow the final whistle.
      “It is time to let somebody else have a go at what is the best job in the world.”
      One fan tweeted: “Can’t really blame Jeff. The show went woke a few years ago and has been a pale imitation of what made it great.” Another said: “Jeff is Soccer Saturday.”
      Representatives for Stelling, who fronted Channel 4 show Countdown from 2008 to 2011, were contacted to comment.

      When is Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua happening, where will fight take place, how much money will they earn for clash?

      by

      ANTHONY JOSHUA vs Tyson Fury is the fight EVERY British boxing fan wants to see.But with the two fighters having seemingly contrasting fortunes in recent weeks, the fight looks further away than ever, despite being so close earlier this summer.

      Joshua vs Fury – when will it happen?
      Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury is set to take place over two fights, with the pair verbally agreeing a deal earlier this year.
      The first fight was supposed to happen in August before Deontay Wilder’s team won a legal battle against Fury, securing the Bronze Bomber’s right to a contracted trilogy rematch.
      Both Joshua and Fury have since hinted they’re prepared to re-enter negotiations for a fight in 2022, but they must first get past their next opponents.
      Joshua vs Fury – where will it take place?
      As stated by Hearn, the first fight is likely to take place in Saudi Arabia, with a second eyed to take place in the UK.
      Anthony Joshua successfully regained his titles against Andy Ruiz Jr in Saudi while Tyson Fury wowed the crowd by making a WWE appearance in the Gulf State.
      There, he was victorious over Braun Strowman.
      Joshua vs Fury – how much will they earn?
      A lot. That’s the simple answer. Both Joshua and Fury have already made upwards of £40million each for their respective fights with Ruiz Jr and Wilder.
      So when they fight each other, expect the figures to be at last double that.
      Hearn also spoke earlier this year about how he expects the pair to make ‘Mayweather money’, referencing the grand purses Floyd used to pull in for his fights.

      “It’s certainly I think, you know, the biggest fight, the most lucrative fight, in boxing right now – unquestionably,” Hearn said.
      “That’s Mayweather money. You know? And we haven’t seen Mayweather money since Mayweather.
      “I think it’s impossible to give a number. There’s no set purses for this fight because, obviously, it’s a revenue share. But it’s certainly gonna break records everywhere.”
      It’s been speculated, however, that the pair could earn £80m each.
      Joshua vs Fury – what hurdles are left to clear?
      Unfortunately for fight fans, a few.
      First, Joshua has to defeat Oleksandr Usyk in a rematch, which could take place in early 2022.
      After beating Deontay Wilder in their trilogy fight, Fury will face either Dillian Whyte or Otto Wallin.
      Should Joshua and Fury come out of their bouts victorious, talks will likely resume between the pair for a fight to take place in early 2022.
      Joshua vs Fury – what channel will it be on in the UK?
      This could be a tricky one.
      Joshua has an exclusive deal with Sky Sports in the UK, one which expires after this fight with Usyk, and while Fury’s deal with BT Sport isn’t exclusive, he’s closely aligned with them.
      Fury, however, has fought on Sky Sports Box Office before, most notably for his world heavyweight title win over Wladimir Klitschko in 2015.
      Don’t be surprised if the two sides come to an agreement where both Sky and BT decide to work together on a dual-broadcast.
      Streaming DAZN, however, have also entered the UK market, and they’re likely to want a slice of the pie, too.
      One thing holding any potential bids from DAZN, however, is that they don’t offer fights on pay-per-view, like Sky and BT do.
      In the U.S., the situation is also tricky.
      Fury has an exclusive deal with ESPN, while Joshua’s last four fights have been shown on streaming service DAZN in the U.S.
      ESPN offer a pay-per-view service for their big fight nights while DAZN work on a subscription-based model, making a deal for the fight to be shown on both channels difficult.
      Arum recently said: “It will be a normal pay-per-view here (in the United States). ESPN will be the distributor.”
      “Obviously, the big market is the UK, where everyone is talking it will do three million homes. Sky and BT both will have it on pay-per-view.”
      DAZN will likely stream the fight for rest of the world territories.
      Joshua vs Fury – what have they all said?
      Joshua: “We were meant to have fought by now and here we are talking about it,” Joshua said.
      “But it will happen. I know what people are saying about boxing politics, but I’ll promise before the end of my career I will have done everything in my power to fight Tyson Fury.”
      Fury: “Anthony Joshua’s fought not one heavyweight in his prime.

      “They’re all former good men, back in the early 2000s, late 2000s, but not in 2020-odd. They were good men 10 years ago.”
      Hearn: “I think AJ, in his head, probably thinks the fight will never happen. I would like to be more hopeful and I think it will happen.
      “If AJ knocks out Usyk and Fury knocks out Wilder then in four months we are talking about an even bigger fight. One could lose or look bad but I do get the feeling if they both win then the fight is huge. I am hoping it works out for the best.” More

      Carragher featured on fellow Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville’s Overlap series where the former Manchester United fullback fires 23 quickfire questions to his guests. 
      And while walking through Merseyside the former Liverpool skipper revealed his distaste for coffee. 
      After being asked by whether he likes coffee or tea he said: “I have never had coffee in my life. 
      Gobsmacked by Carra’s claim, Neville responds: :“Not a cappuccino or a latte?
      Carragher says: “Nope, never once. 
      Neville: “Cortado?” 
      To which Carragher jokes: “Who’s he play for?” 

      BETTING SPECIAL: GET 30/1 ON FURY OR 50/1 ON WILDER FOR HEAVYWEIGHT BOXING CLASH
      During the interview Carragher was also asked about his pre match ritual by Neville. 
      And he said: “I always read the matchday programme on the toilet. Not just in it, on it!” 
      And in addition to saying he wished he played in the Glasgow derby between Rangers and Celtic he also told Nev his pet hate. 
      He said: “People blaming other people for their own mistakes. 
      “Phonies all the time blaming someone, if you have done something just own it.” 
      It comes after ex-Liverpool striker Michael Owen revealed he had never had a coffee while also saying he has only watched seven films in his life. 
      Owen, 41, told the BBC: “I was never exposed to it.
      “I don’t think I’m missing out I’m not quite sure what the attraction is.
      “My wife drinks tea, and I probably made her a cup of tea a couple of years ago for the first time. So I know how to make a cup of tea.”
      “I get very bored watching films, I can’t sit still for two hours.
      “I think I’ve probably watched six or seven in my life. Rocky, Cool Runnings, Jurassic Park – I got forced to watch that twice as well – Ghost, Heat.”
      The Overlap is a new YouTube channel from Gary Neville in partnership with Sky Bet.
