      The 29-year-old Cottagers’ skipper stops so that he can pop into the Costa Coffee at Esher in Surrey for a takeaway drink.
      The slot is clearly marked for use by disabled badge holders only.
      One resident said: “It’s infuriating these super-rich footballers think they can live to different rules than the rest of us.
      “Footballers such as Marcus Rashford and Raheem Sterling are doing so much charity work these days and have helped to change the public’s view of Premier League footballers.

      “But the behaviour of those like Cairney risks undoing all that goodwill.”

      Cairney, who has been capped twice for Scotland, was pictured last Monday emerging from his 190mph motor — which can rocket from 0 to 62mph in 3.6 seconds — in a black tracksuit top and joggers.
      The player, who earns around £30,000 a week, left the five-door banana- coloured Lamborghini Urus 4.0 V8 in the disabled bay as he walked across the road to the nearby Costa.
      He emerged a few minutes later with a cup in hand.

      Locals claimed it was not the first time he had parked illegally on the way into Fulham’s training ground, which is nearby in New Malden, South West London.
      Our source added: “The bloke drives a bright yellow motor and clearly wants to be seen in it.”

      Nottingham-born Cairney started his pro career at Hull City and also played for Blackburn before transferring to Fulham in 2015 for a fee of around £3million.
      In 2018, he announced he was becoming a dad for the first time with his model partner Abbie Richards.
      Fulham FC have declined to comment on the actions of their player.

      Ex-Man Utd star Chris Eagles secretly dating Hollyoaks actress Jennifer Metcalfe after splitting from his fiancée

      by

      FORMER Manchester United winger Chris Eagles has been secretly dating Hollyoaks actress Jennifer Metcalfe after splitting with his fiancée during lockdown, The Sun can reveal.
      The footballer was with Danielle Mitchinson, 30, for eight years and they have two children together.

      But she walked out of their £3million Cheshire mansion in October — and now Chris, 35, has been spotted spending evenings with the soap star after they started seeing each other around a month ago.
      Mum-of-one Jennifer, 37, who plays Mercedes McQueen in the Channel 4 show, split with her husband, Geordie Shore’s Greg Lake, this summer.
      Chris, who is believed to be in Jen’s support bubble, has been spotted visiting her home in Altrincham, Gtr Manchester, where the pair spent three evenings last week.
      A source said: “They’re really smitten with each other.

      “They’ve known each other for a while but only very recently started dating.
      “The relationship is in its very early stages and things are going well. Who knows where things could go?”

      It is believed Jen has known Chris since becoming pals with Danielle this year.
      After the split in October, Chris is thought to have paid six months rent up front for Danielle to have a three-bed apartment a mile away from his eight-bed home in Bowdon, Cheshire, and has given her an allowance of £500 per month.

      A close friend told The Sun: “Danielle is absolutely devastated.
      “Lockdown really highlighted that the relationship wasn’t working.
      “She was mates with Jen, but it has put a strain on their friendship.
      “Danielle was with Chris for so long but just wants things to move forward. They still share custody of their kids.”

      He also played for Burnley and Bolton but has been without a club since leaving Oldham in January.
      A spokesman for Jennifer said she declined to comment.

      Intimate photos of Premier League stars Diego Costa and Gabriel Jesus found in BIBLE handed in at a charity shop

      by

      INTIMATE photos of Man City star Gabriel Jesus and former Chelsea striker Diego Costa were found in a Bible handed in at a charity shop.
      Both players appeared topless with the same mystery woman in pictures unearthed last week.

      An intimate photo of former Chelsea striker Diego Costa was found in a Bible handed in at a charity shop

      Another snap showed Man City ace Gabriel Jesus shirtless with the same woman

      The Bible was in one of two bags handed in by a woman to a charity shop in Marylebone, Central London.
      A source explained: “The pictures were instantly recognisable as Jesus and Costa – and both were with the same woman.
      “They were both laughing and seemed incredibly relaxed in her company while larking around on pillows without their shirts on.
      “The pictures appear to have been taken at different times.

      “The charity shop normally gets jigsaws and second-hand clothes, so this was certainly a change from that.”
      Two bags were handed in during May, but the snaps were not spotted until staff started sorting them last week.

      The source said: “A woman of Spanish or Latin appearance dropped off the bags.
      “She said a friend left the UK and wanted to get rid of a few bits and pieces.

      “The woman who brought the bags in has never been back so no one knew what to do with the pics.”
      It is not known when the photographs were taken.
      Heavily tattooed Brazilian forward Jesus, 23, joined Man City in 2017 and split from model Fernanda Queiroz earlier this year.
      The devout Christian was missing from City’s squad against Southampton yesterday.
      A source previously said: “Jesus decided to end the relationship to focus on his career.”

      Brazilian-born Costa, 32, played for Chelsea for three years from 2014 and is now at Atletico Madrid.
      He is married with two daughters and there is no suggestion he cheated on his wife.
      In 2014, The Sun on Sunday revealed he was dumped by Brazilian model girlfriend Michele Zuanne after she caught him trying to bed her sister.

      Jen Beattie’s brave battle against breast cancer will raise awareness of the disease — and save lives

      by

      FANS have got to understand that Arsenal have been battling on and off the pitch after Jen Beattie’s shattering breast cancer diagnosis.
      The Gunners are third in the table and have been struggling to reclaim the crown they’ve worn for so many years at the top of the division’s elite.

      They have suffered bitter Cup defeats by rivals Manchester City and Chelsea and a first league loss to the leaders, Manchester United, last month.
      They lost to the Citizens 2-1 last time out after a sucker punch Caroline Weir goal in the dying moments. Supporters have piled the pressure on Gunners boss Joe Montemurro — with some even calling for him to be axed.
      But there’s a lot more going on at the club away from the 90 minutes at the weekend. Fans have got to take a moment and think of everything the girls have been going through so far this season while supporting Jen — who found a lump in a breast in October.
      She was brave enough to open up about her shock diagnosis to raise awareness of the debilitating disease — and to save lives.

      Every year around 11,500 women and 85 men die from breast cancer in the UK — that’s nearly 1,000 deaths each month, 31 each day or one every 45 minutes.
      Having received the news on the evening of Thursday  October 8, she played and scored against Brighton the following Sunday, and the team emotionally embraced her.
      Last weekend, City and Arsenal players united before the match to wear warm-up shirts with Jen’s name and number on the back  which was so touching.
      She arrived at the club in 2009 and was my team-mate in my time in North London.

      She is such a great character and so caring in terms of what she does for the team — and I think that’s exactly why the players rallied around her in such a supportive way.
      It’s just so brave for her to speak out about an incredibly personal experience which is something a lot of people may feel too scared to talk about.
      Sadly, the coronavirus crisis has put a lot of people off getting checked. But Jen’s story may  encourage that one person to do it.
      Footballers may be in the spotlight but they are human beings as well and fans have got to realise that sometimes our personal lives are more important than what is happening on the pitch.
      It would be extra special and so emotional if Arsenal won the title this year with Jen’s cancer battle.
      And I would urge the club to stick with Joe as head coach.
      I think sacking him would be a bad move.
      Sometimes people just look at results and they don’t look at the environment but I would urge fans to remember the bigger picture and be kind.

      Solskjaer tells Paul Pogba ‘nobody is bigger than Man Utd’ after Raiola’s transfer comments

      by

       PAUL POGBA is being warned he must toe the line — or face the boot.
      The French star was given the stark reminder by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as the war of words with his agent Mino Raiola rumbles on.

      The comments come after his agent Mino Raiola said it was all over at Man Utd for the FrenchmanCredit: Getty – Pool

      The Old Trafford boss, who yesterday completed two years in charge, vowed: “I would just not stand for anyone thinking that he is bigger than Manchester United.
      “No one is. Absolutely no one — and Paul knows this. It is not only for Paul. It is for all of us.”
      His straight–talking stance is as much of an attack on controversial Raiola as a move to show the World Cup winner who is in charge.
      Raiola infuriated Solskjaer the day before United crashed out of the Champions League to RB Leipzig earlier this month by claiming it was time Pogba left the club.

      He followed that up by declaring: “I’ve said that Paul can leave in the summer because it’s hard to do deals in January.”
      French midfielder Pogba’s £300,000-a-week contract expires in just 18 months.
      But Solskjaer, whose side host Leeds today, has continued to talk him up, despite his posturing for a move back to Juventus or to Real Madrid.
      And the United chief added: “Paul was here as a kid in the Under-18s. We signed him early on and he comes with the Manchester United DNA in him.

      “He knows what we are about. United is about being in a team and Paul has always been an ambitious boy who loves playing football.
      “He trains well, he never refuses to train or play, he has a good attitude.
      “Of course, Paul wants to do as well as he can when he is in the team, however many minutes he is getting on the pitch.”
      After last Saturday’s goalless Manchester derby, Pogba took to social media to hit out at the stick he was getting for Raiola’s comments.
      He wrote: “I’ve always fought and will always fight for  Manchester United, my team-mates and the fans.
      “All has been clear between the club and myself and that will never change.
      ‘I WANT PLAYERS WHO CAN HANDLE LIFE’
      “When you don’t know what’s going on inside, don’t talk.”
      But having backed their club-record £89million star consistently since he replaced Jose Mourinho two Christmases ago, Solskjaer is determined that Pogba will stay on.
      And the Red Devils chief now hopes to get that message through to the French World Cup winner’s super agent Raiola.
      As he prepared for today’s visit of Leeds, Solskjaer added: “I leave negotiations with agents to the club.
      “In fact, I rarely speak to agents. I speak to the players — and that is the biggest thing for me.
      “I need to see them eye to eye and I think it is important, the relationship between player and manager.
      “I want players who can handle life as well. You can’t just go through agents.”

      Man Utd starlet Dan James targeted by Brighton for loan transfer after falling down pecking order

      by

      GRAHAM POTTER will ask Manchester United for Dan James on loan to fire up Brighton’s survival fight.
      Boss Potter worked with the Welsh flying winger at Swansea — and thinks he would be a great asset if United let him out for badly-needed game time.

      And James has told pals he would be happy to play for Potter again as he thrived under his style in their last spell together.
      The Seagulls asked about James, 23, in the last transfer window but he opted to stay at Old Trafford.
      However, his chances of starts are slim and he has the Euro 2021 finals on his horizon.
      Wales want to see James playing more often and staying sharp for their campaign as he was a key part of their qualification.

      Brighton, just above the drop zone, have found it hard to score lately and Potter needs extra attacking thrust.
      Leeds are also long-term admirers of James, trying twice to land him before.
      James has made only a handful of club appearances since the summer and often plays on the right when his preference and more effective position is the left.

      The former Swan was a key man at Old Trafford last season, appearing 46 times in all competitions.

      But he played just three times in the Premier League this time around, and hasn’t at all since October 24.
      James was on the bench as the Red Devils beat Sheffield United 3-2 on Thursday night.
