      Ex-BT Sport host Jake Humphrey makes classy gesture to Laura Woods after she makes Champions League debut on TNT Sports

      by

      JAKE HUMPHREY is holding no grudges about Laura Woods taking over his role as host of TNT Sports and even made a classy gesture towards his replacement. Woods made her Champions League debut on the popular sports channel this week for Manchester City’s 3-1 victory over Red Star Belgrade.

      The former radio host came in for Humphrey earlier this year after BT Sport made some personnel changes when they shook things up with their big rebrand to TNT Sport.
      But despite Humphrey seeing an end to his ten year spell with the broadcaster, he obviously holds no qualms with his replacement.
      Woods took to Instagram to commemorate her Champions League debut with a few different highlights from the night.
      She posted it alongside a caption that read: “Champions League Debut. Well that was fun!

      “Sprinklers, nutmegs & a Super Ally cuddle will do just fine for me. Doing it again tonight, see you in Munich.”
      And Humphrey was quick to jump into the comments section to praise his broadcasting peer with the “praising hands” emoji.
      He simply commented “🙌🙌🙌” as he offered support to Woods on what was a momentous night for her.
      She was left embarrassed at one point during the show as Rio Ferdinand managed to nutmeg her live on air.

      But she was still at her usual best as she left Ally McCoist in fits of laughter with a crude joke following the game too.
      Humphrey is busy away with his own ventures as the former Bamzooki host now has his own podcast.
      The High Performance Podcast sees guests talk about what it takes to succeed at an elite level and has inspired its listeners with Humphrey recently sharing the story of a fan he met on the train going for a job because of the show.

      Fans get massive boost as huge change to Premier League TV schedule revealed but one revolutionary plan ditched

      by

      UP to 270 Prem games will be screened live from 2025-26 — with clubs on the verge of agreeing the new TV packages.League bosses outlined the proposed new schedule in yesterday’s meeting of the 20 top flight CEOs.

      The new deal — expected to be confirmed next week — will bring a significant increase on the 200 matches shown in the current TV contracts with Sky, TNT Sports and Amazon.
      It is understood there will be an increase in Saturday clashes at 7.45pm — although Prem bosses insist the idea of Sunday evening matches has been dismissed.
      Club and League chiefs both hope that offering more games will see the value of the domestic deal increase when the packages go out to tender over the coming weeks.
      The overseas deals for the 2025-28 cycle are already higher than for the domestic packages, taking the overall value of overseas deals above the existing ÂŁ5.5bn tally.

      Recent reports have suggested that officials are also open to discussions surrounding the 3pm blackout.
      The blackout law was introduced before the establishment of the Premier League back in 1992.
      It is a rule that prohibits any football match from being broadcast on live television in the UK on Saturdays between 2:45pm and 5:15pm.
      However, officials are allegedly considering adjusting the rules to support the women’s game.

      Dawn Airey, chair of the Women’s Super League, believes the women’s top tier will become a billion-pound enity.
      She said: “That isn’t the figure we just plucked from the air, it is based on a pretty decent and detailed business plan for over the course of the next 10 years.
      “We look at the growth of attendances, we look at the growth of engagement and broadcast, we look at the increased interest in sponsorship and marketing opportunities, and then we start being more imaginative about what attending a women’s game means.
      “Not just watching the game, but everything that goes on around it, is there potential for clubs to think differently about their revenues?” More

      Breach is no stranger to the European calendar, having been a regular on the sidelines of many games over the years.
      However, seeing her hometown club of Brighton feature in the competition nearly three decades after they were nearly liquidated has left the presenter ecstatic.
      Taking to Instagram, Breach shared a story revealing that she was wearing a suitable blue and white suit for the occasion.
      In a column for FourFourTwo ahead of the match, Breach admitted it felt “unreal” to see Brighton in the competition.

      She wrote: “For the last few years, I’ve had a front-row seat for the Europa League, presenting live matches around the continent, so I’ve seen first-hand how desperate teams are to win it.
      “One of the quirks of the Thursday evening tournaments is that almost every side kicks off their campaign thinking they can go far… 
      “The Seagulls are in Europe for the first time in their history.
      “Roberto De Zerbi has his side playing the finest football Albion fans have ever witnessed, and the Europa League anthem will be blaring out at the Amex.

      “My goosebumps have goosebumps just thinking about those Thursday nights under the lights.
      “It still feels unreal to supporters who have followed Brighton through thick and thin – from watching them almost fall out of the Football League in 1997, have to groundshare with Gillingham and play at the Withdean, to the here and now, going on a European tour.”
      Breach could also not help but admit she was dreaming of making the final in Dublin.
      She added: “Winning it is obviously the ultimate goal, but the journey, particularly for fans who are living it for the first time, is what it’s all about.
      “This year, you might be travelling anywhere from Gothenburg to Czestochowa (I had to Google them, too), not just Liverpool or Rome.
      “Sure, everybody wants a big knockout tie, but touring some of the most obscure cities almost becomes a more fascinating part of the experience.
      “It’s a chance to go on new adventures and create incredible memories with people who adore the game as much as you. And that’s really why we all love football.
      “The final will be staged in Dublin on May 22. Call me a fantasist, but I can picture it now: teenager Evan Ferguson, born in Bettystown, less than 30 miles from the capital, hits the winner and delivers Albion’s first European trophy.
      “Maybe, maybe not, but for now I can keep dreaming. Watching the Seagulls play in Europe for the first time has ensured one dream has already come true.”

      Despite Breach’s assertion regarding Evan Ferguson’s possible goal at the end of the journey, he will play no part in the start of the story after being pictured heading down the tunnel due to an illness.
      Brighton are fresh off the back of a 3-1 win over Manchester United, where fans praised Roberto De Zerbi’s style of football.

      And the treble winners’ second half comeback wasn’t the most entertaining part of the evening with Woods leaving McCoist unable to stop laughing.
      The former TalkSPORT presenter asked McCoist about City’s first goal which came from Julian Alvarez.
      But despite looking for a discussion around the World Cup Winner’s calm and collected finish, she was distracted by a pack of sweets behind McCoist in the gantry.
      Woods asked if they belonged to the former Scotland international, but he denied he had been snacking on the treats and suggested they belonged to his co-commentator Darren Fletcher instead.

      In fact McCoist even said he had been having some healthy snacks and said if the camera was to pan to his side then those watching from home would see some nuts and a banana that he had finished earlier in the evening.
      Woods didn’t skip a beat before jumping at the opportunity to make a crude joke at her colleague’s expense.
      She said: “It would be a dangerous camera angle if that’s what we were seeing.”
      McCoist couldn’t catch his breath after Woods made the joke with the ex-Rangers striker laughing uncontrollably after briefly squirming.
