      Premier League clubs will threaten to pull out of Carabao Cup unless EFL players agree to testing for coronavirus

      by

      WORRIED Premier League clubs will threaten to pull out of the Carabao Cup unless EFL players agree to be tested for coronavirus.
      West Ham co-owner David Sullivan yesterday accused the EFL of not testing their players due to the financial implications — potentially exposing Prem teams to the disease.

      A major outbreak of cases of top-flight stars could bring the Prem to another shuddering halt.
      So the top clubs are demanding all EFL clubs left in the competition go through Covid-19 testing before  playing next week’s fourth-round ties.
      Sullivan said: “Medically, why are we in a competition where we’re playing teams who have not been checked? The EFL are not testing their players for financial reasons.”

      Hammers boss David Moyes plus players Issa Diop and Josh Cullen were dramatically sent home just an hour before Tuesday’s 5-1 Carabao Cup win over Hull after testing positive for Covid-19.
      But Hull declined their offer to pay for their players to be tested, with manager Grant McCann insisting they were following EFL guidelines.
      Tottenham’s tie with Leyton Orient on Tuesday was called off after the majority of the League Two club’s squad tested positive, with Spurs paying for the screenings.
      Sullivan told talkSPORT:  “We and a few other Premier League clubs made the offer to give these teams a test at our expense so we weren’t exposing our players to untested players.

      “Unfortunately, Hull didn’t want it. Charlton the previous week did, for example.”

      2

      SunSport understands talks took place between Prem and EFL chiefs yesterday.
      Sullivan added: “We are now tested once a week. We were tested on Monday and the results came through at 6.30pm. The whole team now will be retested today.”
      Moyes, Diop and Cullen are now isolating for ten days.
      A round of testing costs about £5,000 per club.
      EFL clubs do not have to do coronavirus tests on players and staff this season.
      So Liverpool have paid for Lincoln to be tested before tonight’s third-round clash, while Bournemouth players were also tested ahead of their tie at Manchester City.
      But Orient chairman Nigel Travis admitted: “If I was doing this again I would not do the testing. This is an incentive not to test.”

      Lincoln star Tom Hopper opens up on how filmed sex orgy with three Thai prostitutes in 2015 forced him to ‘mature’

      by

      TOM HOPPER learned a painful lesson from a night of stupidity in Thailand.
      Never take your career for granted.

      The Lincoln forward,  26, deeply regrets getting caught up in a filmed sex orgy in 2015.
      It also involved his then Leicester team-mates Adam Smith and James Pearson with three Thai prostitutes on an end-of-season tour.
      All three players were sent home in disgrace and sacked by the club.
      It sparked national outrage —  but since that night in a Bangkok hotel, Hopper has turned his career around.

      And tonight he will play in the biggest game of his life against Liverpool in the Carabao Cup third round.
      He admitted: “I had to grow up quickly. It was my first realisation of life and that your career can change for the worst in an instant.

      It was a case of keeping a low profile, being humble and focusing on football. The whole thing gave me a real perspective in life and I’ve matured as a result.

      “I owe a lot to Mark Robins and Scunthorpe as a club because they signed me and gave me a chance when maybe others wouldn’t.
      “I’m not going to kid anyone by saying it was easy to cope with the fallout of what happened.

      “It  definitely took time for me to get going again.
      “It was a case of keeping a low profile, being humble and focusing on football.
      “The whole thing gave me a real perspective in life and I’ve matured as a result.”
      Hopper, who was 21, has sympathy with Manchester United’s Mason Greenwood, 18, and City’s Phil Foden, 20.

      The pair were caught smuggling two Icelandic women into Eng­land’s team  hotel earlier this month.
      Hopper said: “The spotlight is on footballers. We are mad about the sport as a nation so it comes with the territory.
      “We must accept mistakes we make will be highlighted because we’re supposed to be role models.
      “They’re young and will learn from their errors. It’ll help them in the future.”
      Hopper is  widely respected for the way he has atoned.

      My advice to any young footballer is, ‘Don’t take football for granted’. Football is only getting harder with fewer chances because of the amount of foreign players who are over here.

      At Scunthorpe, Southend and now Lincoln, he has always passionately supported community projects.
      He was involved in making calls  to vulnerable members of  Lincoln’s community in lockdown  — and is popular among fans, players and club staff alike.
      One Southend source said: “He’s one of the nicest and most sincere men you’ll  meet.”
      Hopper also suffered the nightmare of rupturing his cruciate ligaments shortly after joining Southend in 2018 and was out for an entire year.
      And the striker,  who had scored seven  in his 14 games up to that point, said: “That was the other dark moment of my career.

      “I wasn’t sure if I was going to play again. Scoring in my first start after  one year, at Tranmere, was  the highest moment of my career.
      “My advice to any young footballer is, ‘Don’t take football for granted’.
      “Football is only getting harder with fewer chances now because of the amount of foreign players who are over here.”
      Facing the English champions at Sincil Bank will be  special,  but Hopper is gutted fans will not be there.

      He  was injured when Scunthorpe played Chelsea away in the FA Cup four years ago.
      Hopper added:  “Everything that comes with playing Liverpool is amazing.
      “It’s a chance you don’t get too often in your career and it’s great to just  soak it in.”

      West Ham boss David Moyes set to take Joe Wicks-style training sessions via Zoom after testing positive for coronavirus

      by

      DAVID MOYES is set to take West Ham training via Zoom from Covid-19 exile.
      The Irons boss must stay home for a further nine days after testing positive for coronavirus just before Monday’s Carabao Cup win over Hull.

      But Moyes is feeling fit and well and is determined to continue working remotely from his East London flat.

      He plans to set up a Zoom video link with assistant Alan Irvine to oversee preparations for Sunday’s Premier League home match with Wolves.
      Irvine will lead the players out for training at the club’s Essex HQ but with Moyes maintaining a watchful eye and very much still in charge.

      West Ham insiders say Moyes is also planning to watch Sunday’s game on TV.
      He will also keep an open phone line to his backroom staff on the bench at the London Stadium.
      Moyes, 57, was shocked to learn he had tested positive for Covid-19 at 6.15pm on Monday having arrived at West Ham for the Carabao Cup tie.
      Players Josh Cullen and Issa Diop also tested positive.

      The squad was tested at lunchtime on Monday but delays in receiving the results led to a last-minute reshuffle of the starting line-up.
      It is the second time West Ham’s manager has had to self-isolate after a brush with coronavirus.
      He was required to stay indoors in March after close contact with Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta who subsequently contracted the disease.

      Leicester 0 Arsenal 2: Fuchs own goal and Nketiah prove difference as Gunners set up potential Liverpool Carabao Cup tie

      by

      ONE major criticism of Arsene Wenger was that he wanted every Arsenal goal to be a breathtaking masterpiece.
      Well after Mikel Arteta’s men had won ugly in the Premier League against West Ham, they reached the fourth round of the Carabao Cup by scoring two absolute munters here.

      Eddie Nketiah grabbed the second late on in comical fashion as he fell over while sticking past Danny WardCredit: Reuters

      Leicester’s veteran defender Christian Fuchs bundled into his own net and Eddie Nketiah added a late second after falling over, to earn Arsenal the dubious prize of a likely trip to Anfield – provided Liverpool defeat Lincoln City tomorrow.
      Arsenal already have to visit the champions in the league on Monday, so next week promises to be a major test of Arteta’s squad.
      Arteta’s Arsenal can still be easy on the eye – and even with seven changes to the Spaniard’s starting line-up, they outplayed a second-string Leicester.
      But they are now acquiring the knack of digging out victories when the going gets arduous.
      It is a happy habit which has been largely lacking ever since Wenger’s Invincibles broke up and it augurs well for their hard-nosed young manager.
      Arteta refused to include either of his outcasts, Mesut Ozil or Matteo Guendouzi, and saw some pleasing football from a youthful side.
      With two wins out of two in the Premier League and a Europa League campaign looming for both, this competition was the priority of neither manager.

      Foxes boss Brendan Rodgers, whose side reached the semi-finals last term, changed his entire starting line-up.

      He gave a full debut for Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall – a useful midfielder rather than a National Trust stately home.
      Arteta stuck with only four of the men who had squeezed past the Hammers on Saturday, yet there was no lack of attacking quality.
      Despite their dominance of the FA Cup, Arsenal haven’t won the League Cup for 27 years, when the competition was sponsored by Coca-Cola and nobody had heard of Wenger.
      But the Gunners, in their apparently blood-stained away kit, had the first sniff when Reiss Nelson won possession and cut in from the left only for Danny Ward to tip his rising shot onto the roof of the net.
      Bernd Leno had to be quick off his line to smother a Kelechi Iheanacho effort.
      But Arsenal were slick, fluid and lively in attack – Bukayo Saka skinned Marc Albrighton but Joe Willock could not connect with his cross.
      Then a stonewall penalty for Arsenal, which was somehow stonewalled by myopic ref Peter Bankes.
      Nketiah played in Saka, who was clearly bundled over by Daniel Amartey – leaving Arsenal’s team and bench to scream their appeals in vain.

      Nelson forced another save from Ward then screwed a shot wide when left unmarked from a corner.
      But the one class act in this Leicester side, James Maddison – making his first start since July 1 – began to make his mark.
      Having comprehensively skewered Ainsley Maitland-Niles with some saucy wing-play, Maddison cut in from the left and curled a delicious shot against the inside of the far post.
      But on 57 minutes Arsenal got the opener they had deserved with a huge dollop of fortune.
      Nicolas Pepe forced his way clear on the right, had one shot saved by Ward and then struck the post from the rebound, his effort cannoning in off the unsuspecting Fuchs as he and Amartey attempted to clear.
      Nketiah thought he had Arsenal’s second when he lobbed Ward, only for Wes Morgan to head expertly off the line.
      Foxes sub Ayoze Perez headed wide when he should have converted Albrighton’s free-kick.
      But after Hector Bellerin arrived as a late sub he teed up Nketiah, who stumbled, fell and still managed to score.
      It was no oil painting but you don’t win trophies for artistic impression in this game.

      Soccer Saturday’s Jeff Stelling, 65, reveals botox is the secret to his youthful looks

      by

      SKY Sports’ Jeff Stelling has revealed the secret to his youthful looks — Botox.
      And he said he is not the broadcaster’s only presenter to do so.

      Jeff, who was 65 in March, visits a Harley Street clinic to get the cosmetic procedure, saying: “Admitting to Botox doesn’t concern me.
      “The hardest thing about the job has been growing old in public view.”
      Jeff who has fronted Soccer Saturday since 1998, added: “Every year, more grey hair, more inches on the waist, less good eyesight.
      “You fight it the best way you can — a touch of hair colour, one less beer, contact lenses and perhaps the odd Botox — but it is always going to be a losing contest.”

      Stelling pictured in 2012 at Gillette Soccer Saturday Live

      Jeff has fronted Soccer Saturday since 1998
      He went on: “On one occasion at the clinic, a woman — sunglasses on, collar up, hat pulled low, looking every inch an Eastern European spy — made a hasty exit.
      “A few moments later, her name was called. She was a Sky Sports News presenter, who didn’t want me to know she was getting a little help in the age war.”
      He visits “Botox King” Dr Nick Milojevic at his Milo Clinic in central London.
      Dad-of-three Stelling added in his new book I’ve Got Mail: “Dr Milojevic is the best.

      “He told me he gave Botox to one of the Made In Chelsea cast.

      “I’ve watched to try and work out which one, but it’s impossible. It’s a wrinkle-free programme.”
      Hopefully, his beauty treatment will help him to avoid the chop — as happened to former colleagues Matt Le Tissier, 51, Phil Thompson, 66, and Charlie Nicholas, 58.
      Jeff “did think about resigning” in sympathy, but added: “All three urged me not to do anything silly.”

      Tottenham’s All or Nothing Amazon doc is all for the cameras and nothing like real life at a football club

      by

      SPURS’ All or Nothing TV show is the latest in a phenomenon of behind-closed-doors documentaries on football.
      First we had the sanitised, ra-ra series at Manchester City and then the Sunderland car crash of ’Til I Die.

      5

      Jose Mourinho starred in Tottenham’s Amazon documentary

      Now Tottenham are in the lights of the cameras. Ready for your close-up, Jose?
      But in this 24-hour, 360-degree world of football, do these documentaries really tell us anything we don’t know?
      The notion that these shows give us real insight is for the birds.
      You don’t see the real goings on in dressing rooms, with the Churchillian speeches given by so-called leaders of men — because half the time there’s bugger all going on in there.

      The Spurs doc is very stylised and appears to give the viewer a peek behind the scenes.
      But, in reality, it is heavily stage-managed with participants acutely aware cameras are on.
      The insight people want just isn’t there. Pulling back the curtain and peering behind is often like the scene out of The Wizard of Oz where a lot of loud noises are being artificially made by a small man.
      Yes, it is engaging to see an ever-effusive Danny Rose having a challenging conversation with Jose Mourinho, who delivers his oh-so measured response.

      What we got was a homogenised version for the cameras. Trust me, I’ve seen players demand to see a manager about not playing and it doesn’t play out that way.
      We do get a starry-eyed chairman, a Mike Bassett-esque assistant manager doing nothing but nodding — plus plenty of over-exaggerated industrial language (that part does have elements of reality).
      But how about seeing Mauricio Pochettino getting the boot? That’s real TV.
      Tottenham’s decline as a footballing force comes as they lean towards style over content off the pitch.
      I don’t like these documentaries as they promise the world, deliver very little and increasingly turn the business of football into the business of show.
      At Crystal Palace, I allowed a series to be filmed about the club’s academy — but was enraged by the outcome.
      There was more interest in Ian Wright driving his Ferrari into a training ground, a lifestyle that awaits young kids, rather than the blood, sweat, tears and often heartbreak that went with young players’ development.

      Amazon’s All or Nothing was not a reflection of real life at a football club, according to Simon JordanCredit: PA:Press Association
      If you are going to do a TV show, then have the balls to do it properly and give people a real look into the world of football.
      In my time at Palace, I could have shown them . . . 
      The conveyor belt of firing managers — including Peter Taylor, who was having his yearly review with the League Managers Association while I waited outside to sack him.
      Or, on his birthday, Trevor Francis being handed his P45 rather than a nice card.
      Watching Neil Ruddock unable to get into his shorts before a game. Or struggling with his emotions when hauled into my office and told: “Get inside your weight clause or get fired.”
      Visiting the boardroom you could have seen stand-up rows with Sam Hammam, throwing tea cups at Bristol City’s directors, being insulted by David Sullivan at Birmingham or handed a pendant by Liverpool’s chairman as a visiting smaller club.
      Tearing a strip off Tim Cahill’s agent, ejecting the divisive Leon Angel, agent of Andy Johnson, from our training ground or even banning the PFA from the same place.

      The senior pro coming into my office brandishing last week’s copy of The Sun, giving him an eight out of ten for the second week in a row, as a reason why he was entitled to a massively increased contract.
      What about filming the general demeanour and disposition from players towards fans and their value, which would perhaps alter your desire to ever go and see another game?
      The piece de resistance would have been to film the clown’s college of meetings passing as Football League summits.
      Chief executives would plume their feathers, pontificate and decide very little — although one big success was getting Karren Brady to make a good cup of tea.
      No, you are not going to see that and neither should you.
      So let’s call this what it is — non-reality TV for the masses and file it under fiction.

      Premier League clubs ‘expected’ to help bail out smaller clubs as fans banned from stadiums until next year

      MINISTERS “expect” Premier League clubs to help smaller clubs after fans were banned from stadiums until next year.
      Boris Johnson has scuppered plans to get supporters back on the terraces next month.

      Now the Government has asked the wealthier outfits to step in while it negotiates a wider bailout to the sports industry.
      Clubs in the lower ­leagues face a turbulent financial future as, unlike Premier League giants, they rely on ticket sales.
      Under the PM’s new Covid plans, pilots allowing 1,000 fans into EFL matches are ditched.

      Sports bodies want the Government to support the industry as it did with the arts, which was given access to a £1.57billion package.
      Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden is said to be ­trying to “identify ways we can support sport”.
      Today the Premier League said they were “disappointed” fans would not be allowed in next month and said stadiums were safer than many other public spaces.

      The Sun Says

      RICH Premier League clubs should bail out lower league outfits facing Covid oblivion.

      They are not just the lifeblood of their communities. They and their players are, in part, the lifeblood of the Prem too.
      Some have rich owners, who must dig deep now that they are facing a season without fans. But many teams don’t. 
      It would be a calamity to let them fail through no fault of their own.
      A few, admittedly, are badly run — and the Prem would need strict guarantees on how a £200million donation would be spent by the 72 EFL clubs. 
      Some people will say the Government should step in. But it cannot bail out every industry. That way lies ruin. In football’s case there’s another solution.
      It’s right for wealthy Prem giants to fund a rescue. It’s in the national interest and their own too.

      In a statement they said: “Football is not the same without attending fans and the football economy is unsustainable without them.

      “Last season, Premier League clubs suffered £700m in losses and at present, our national game is losing more than £100m per month.
      “This is starting to have a devastating impact on clubs and their communities.”

      Conor Benn warns social media is a ‘killer’ as he quits Instagram in order to preserve his mental health

      by

      CONOR BENN walked away from social media at the peak of his pulling power – to preserve his mental health.
      At 23, and in a mandatory position for British and Commonwealth welterweight title fights, he should be loving using Instagram and Facebook to interact with his fans.

      But the dark side of this tech phenomenon – the focus of new film The Social Dilemma – has forced the Brit to turn off.
      Getting whacked in hardcore sparring sessions at the talent-packed Tony Sims gym are par for the course – but Benn has limits… 
      After another gruelling workout, the son of boxing legend Nigel warned: “Social media is a killer.
      “It does have benefits but I now feel the bad outweighs the good, especially for mental health and even more so among young people.

      “I am only 23 and I really didn’t realise that young people could even have problems like depression and anxiety.
      “But I feel now that social media is really contributing to that.
      “I have read stories about young kids harming themselves — or worse — because of the pressures and influences of social media.
      “Social media has allowed people to walk right into your front room and smack you in the mouth completely anonymously, without you being able to do anything back.

      “I am not programmed to just take it like that — I’ll take a dig but only if I can give one back.
      “I have stayed off Instagram for four months. I have my accounts, but they are run for me and I feel so much better for it.
      “I just don’t need people blowing smoke up my backside.
      “But I also don’t need people abusing me for no reason and bringing negativity into my life.”
      Benn’s initial leap from amateur obscurity to Sky Sports prime-time – thanks to his legendary father’s fanbase – put some noses out of joint and a target on his back.
      But he is baffled about the stick still aimed his way after 16 exciting professional bouts.
      And Benn wants to warn trolls everyone has their breaking point.

      I have stayed off Instagram for four months. I feel so much better for it.
      Conor Benn

      If the fighting men in the Benn family are emotionally raw enough to cry more than the women, think about how vulnerable other targets are to online bullying.
      He explained: “People just see me as a sportsman. Not as a person with feelings and emotions and personal struggles.
      “I think boxers and fighters are probably even more emotional than normal people in other jobs and walks of life.

      “We are just wired differently and process things differently. My old man is so emotional. His whole career was driven by emotion and I am very much like that myself.
      “My dad cried more than my mum and he is a hard man.
      “And no matter how many times you say, ‘it doesn’t get to me’, if you really keep prodding and poking and hurting someone, you will get to them.”
      Conor was relieved when his 56-year-old father’s comeback was cancelled due to injury at the end of last year.
      Despite backing his Australia-based old man 100 per cent to scratch the itch, he dreaded the thought of him getting hurt.
      But it sounds like The Dark Destroyer — a two-weight world champion — has taken out his frustrations on Conor’s soft furnishings during lockdown. Conor added: “My dad flew over from Australia to do a tour around England.
      “He was due to stay at my house for ten days but then lockdown kicked in and he ended up here for four months!
      “I should have charged him for damages, let alone rent.
