    Sky Sports ‘ready to use pre-recorded crowd noise’ to drown out Everton’s X-rated protest chant in Man Utd clash

    SKY SPORTS could use pre-recorded crowd noise to block out an X-rated chant from Everton fans against Manchester United on Sunday.Home supporters will protest at the club’s ten-point deduction by blasting “Premier League corrupt as f***” in the tenth minute of the live TV game.

    The Times say Sky will act to drown out any offensive language – to make sure their coverage sticks within broadcast guidelines.
    That could include using noise already recorded – a tactic deployed during the Covid lockdown.
    At that time, though, it became an interactive choice for TV viewers, rather than enforced.
    The other option back then was to watch the matches from quiet stadiums devoid of supporters with little “atmosphere”.

    Now Sky will take action to follow Ofcom rules on not broadcasting bad language, especially at such a family time as Sunday afternoon and well before the 9pm watershed.
    Many Everton fans are furious at the club’s ten-point penalty for a single breach of profit and sustainability rules.
    They believe the punishment is too stiff, particularly as Manchester City face 115 charges while Chelsea are being investigated over payments in the Roman Abramovich era.
    It could even get worse for the Toffees – with the risk of an extra nine-point deduction.
    Most read in Football
    The Mail suggest Everton might be hit with a £300million compensation bill – if Burnley, Leicester and Leeds sue the Toffees and win the case.
    That could leave new Everton owners 777 partners struggling to pay up.
    And if they failed to do so, the Toffees would be put into administration – meaning nine points docked off. More

    Helen is a legend of the show and hosted it for 22 YEARS before she left in 2017.
    Now some six years later and she has been gifted an old prop from the studio to remind her of her days on the show.
    The 56-year-old was given the “Fox in The Box” by a friend who still works at Sky.
    The unusual piece of the set was a taxidermy fox inside a clear box that represented the football cliche.

    Helen took to X (formerly Twitter) to tell her fans the story of how she got her hands on the piece of history.
    She wrote: “Have always kept in touch with Bobbie from Soccer AM. He’s still at Sky.
    “Today he messaged me ‘Want to look after this?’ And then drove it over. They cleared out a container and he rescued it for me! #FoxInTheBox”
    Since leaving Soccer AM Helen has had a relatively quiet life alongside the occasional bit of presenting.

    She has hosted an array of darts competitions, but has now turned to her unusual new love of farming.
    Back in 2020 Helen told The Athletic that she knew she wanted to get back to work on her farm as soon as she was done with the show.
    She said: “I spent nearly half my life sitting on that sofa. I was there for nearly 23 years.
    “That’s a long time to have any job, never mind a job in broadcasting. I had the farm to see to.
    “I wanted to rescue more dogs and breed sheep and chickens. So I didn’t have time for Saturday mornings anymore.”

    Jimmy Bullard was given the chop from a golf club which costs £100,000 for membershipCredit: Instagram
    Bullard, 45, lit up the Premier league with Wigan, Fulham and Hull during a glittering career which ended in 2012.
    He then moved into the world of TV, becoming a household name on the beloved former Sky Sports show Soccer AM.
    Both as a player and pundit, Bullard was revered by fans up and down the country for his quirky humour and brilliant bravado.
    But his cheeky behaviour also extends to the golf course too.

    While horsing around after a few drinks, Bullard thought it would be a funny idea to tee a ball off a Peroni bottle.
    The incident did not go down well with club chiefs though, who promptly revoked Bullard’s membership.
    And he is still barred to this day, with Bullard telling Stephen Hendry: “I’m not allowed to go again.
    “I had a few drinks and I got carried away. I put a Peroni off the first tee and clipped a ball off it.
    “It’s obviously not the thing to do so I apologise.
    “If there are any Sunningdale members watching, I do apologise. I really want to come back.” More

    Max Verstappen claimed victory at the circuit after saying it was the “National League” of race tracks.
    But ahead of the race Sky Sports F1 reporter Brundle, 64, was doing his best to get some interviews for the broadcaster.
    A host of celebs were at the show event, including the likes of David Beckham, Brad Pitt, Rihanna and Veronika Rajek.
    However, when it came to NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal, Brundle was brutally snubbed on the grid.

    As Brundle arrived next to one of the Red Bull cars the former F1 driver tried to hail the 7ft 1in basketball icon.
    However, O’Neal – known as Shaq – did not play ball with the request despite a member of the Red Bull crew saying yes to giving an interview.
    As Shaq, 51, tried to walk away from Brundle, the reporter remarked: “I don’t think he’s up for it, I’ve wasted my long microphone cable.”
    Shaq then moved to the front of the car to take a photo with more of the Red Bull crew, including Team Principal Christian Horner.

    As he then came back towards Brundle, Shaq once again dismissed any chance of an extended interview.
    Instead, he said into the microphone: “Lewis Hamilton baby.”
    Brundle finally quipped: “That’ll cover it.”
    Fans online praised Brundle for his attempt despite the awkward exchange and slammed Shaq for his unwillingness to talk.
    One fan said: “Martin Brundle is a national treasure.”
    A second said: “Shouldn’t be down on the grid unless you’re willing to talk.”
    A third said: “Not Shaq shouting this after taking pics with the whole RB team including Horner.”
    Another said: “Martin rocks. Poor form Shaq.”
    While a fifth added: “Another gem 🤣.”
    This season alone has seen Brundle cross paths with Cara Delevingne, Machine Gun Kelly and Anthony Joshua in awkward exchanges.
    This season’s Miami GP struck a particularly hilarious tone, with interviews including Beckham, DJ Khaled and a blunder with Patrick Mahomes.
    Previous years have seen Brundle interview Pep Guardiola, Megan Thee Stallion and Pitt with not much success.
    The F1 season will conclude at next weekend’s Abu Dhabi GP.

    City vs Liverpool was originally set to be broadcast on Sky Sports at 5:30pm next Saturday, but it has been moved forward to 12:30pm.
    That means Brentford’s clash with Arsenal, originally set to be shown on TNT Sports at lunchtime, has been pushed back to the evening slot.
    Traditionally, TNT Sports will broadcast the first Premier League match of the day every Saturday while Sky Sports show the 5:30pm fixture.
    However, that will change next week when Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp come face to face at 12:30pm on Sky Sports Premier League.
    READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
    Brentford will then host Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal later that evening – live on TNT Sports.
    Why have the fixtures been swapped?
    The two Premier League fixtures were swapped because a local safety advisory group in Manchester – which includes members of the police – were concerned about the prospect of an early evening kick-off.
    There have been several issues with fan trouble and behaviour surrounding the fixture in the past, so Premier League chiefs made the decision to bring the match forward.
    Amid concerns about fan safety at the Etihad Stadium, Liverpool’s ticket allocation was cut by 20 per cent from 3,000 seats to 2,400 last season.
