      Alpha Tauri’s headquarters is based in Faenza, one of the cities in northern Italy hit by the floods.
      Earlier this week the Japanese racer appealed to his followers on Twitter to help out however they could.
      He said: “After a horrible night, the town is heavily impacted: “dust, mud, and the smell of gasoline everywhere.
      “Currently people are struggling to find food and especially places to stay after many have been evacuated from their own homes.

      “Please anything you can do to help is appreciated.”
      Fans lauded Tsunoda for his efforts to raise awareness and help victims of the flood.
      One hailed him as the “driver of the day” while another said “he should get pole position and p1 automatically without the race.”
      While another fan added: “Yuki inspires me a lot. He is a real hero and a healthy person!”
      Tsunoda has enjoyed a strong start to the season despite the clear limitations of the Alpha Tauri.
      He has finished 10th or 11th in every race this season and impressed fans in his third campaign in F1.

      A local news outlet has described a “grim atmosphere” as footie fans in hoodies sparked fights earlier this evening.
      In footage shared to social media, one person was captured being horrifically attacked by a group, with one member using what looked like a bicycle as a weapon.
      On Twitter, more clips revealed large swarms of fans racing through the streets holding what appears to be chairs.
      It is understood West Ham supporters were caught up in the mix when Alkmaar and FC Groningen fans brawled.

      This comes after AZ Alkmaar fans attempted to disrupt the semi-final by setting off fire works outside West Ham’s team hotel.
      One fan was even hit by a stray rocket, as seen in video clips, and hooded figures fled the area.
      West Ham played the first leg of the semi-final at home last Thursday and won 2-1.
      The team has reverted to their strongest available line-up for the second leg tonight as they try to reach their first European final in 47 years.

      David Moyes made nine changes from the Premier League defeat by Brentford on Sunday with Declan Rice, Lucas Paqueta and Michail Antonio among those coming back in.
      The two teams will play at the AFAS Stadion Stadium, which holds nearly 19,5000 fans – of which around 5,000 are expected to be there for West Ham tonight. 
      West Ham cult hero Andy Carroll is currently enjoying himself out there for the game, singing with fans near the stadium.
      In a clip posted on Twitter, the striker, 34, was seen jumping up and down chanting: “West Ham are massive everywhere we go, West Ham are massive everywhere we go.”

      Gary Neville publicly calls out Sky Sports employee for not tagging him in ‘weird’ tweet before producer deletes account

      by

      They can be crowned Premier League winners with three points against Chelsea on Sunday.
      And finals in the FA Cup and Champions League are yet to come as Manchester United and Inter Milan bid to thwart their treble ambitions.
      Man City’s sensational end to the campaign comes after Neville debated the point earlier in the season that they were not at their very best.
      Now they are firing on all cylinders, Conor Humm, a junior assistant producer at Sky Sports, has called Neville out regarding his comments.
      READ MORE ON MAN UTD
      He said: “Gary Neville said Manchester City weren’t at their usual level this season.
      “They’re about to surpass his club’s greatest ever season and do it in a far more impressive way.”
      A startled Neville replied on Thursday morning, saying: “You okay? They weren’t at their usual level. What a weird point to make. 
      “Tag me in by the way if you work at Sky. Don’t be shy.”

      Humm then made the decision to delete his account.
      This led to another Twitter user calling out the Man Utd legend, saying: “Gary Neville biting back at 5:38am from a tweet he wasn’t even tagged in and mentioning Connor’s place of work is pretty wild.”
      But Neville did not back down as he responded: “Biting 😂 (really). Wild 😂 (hardly). 5.38 😂 (it’s when I get up). It came up on my for you function! As did your reply!!
      “If he works at Sky then tag me in. Easy for people to have a little dig at me but not ok for me to go back?”
      During the second half of the season, Neville has repeatedly backed Man City to catch Arsenal and win the Premier League title.
      And they are now champions in waiting as they look to wrap up the league at the Etihad this weekend.
      Last month, Neville admitted he was fearing a Man City treble.
      He said: “They’re purring, they’re playing well, they’re in great form, they’re serious now about it [the treble].” More

      But it was a right elbow from The Nightmare that flattened the 40-year-old and handed him his latest victory.
      The YouTuber turned boxer initially denied cracking Fournier with the illegal strike but has since changed his tune as boxing authorities weigh up OVERTURNING his victory.
      However, UFC legend McGregor remained unmoved by the controversial finish and instead praised KSI.
      The 34-year-old tweeted: “I seen it, I liked it. He goin’, fair play, KSI.”

      McGregor previously slotted the British star as he prepared for a “nothing burger” boxing match with his former training partner Dillon Danis – which was eventually cancelled.
      The former two division UFC champion was in no mood to entertain the fight and slammed KSI as a “friendly little nerd”, while telling Danis to get back into MMA.
      KSI responded to McGregor’s tweet talking about why he hasn’t spoken to Danis in a while, saying: “I’m sorry but I’m about do some serious damage to your boy.”
      McGregor replied: “Brother you’re a friendly little nerd I don’t care.

      Conor McGregor vows to ‘blow Manny Pacquiao’s head off’ in bare-knuckle fight in now-deleted tweet

      by

      CONOR McGREGOR vowed to “blow Manny Pacquiao’s head off” in bare-knuckle fight in a now-deleted tweet. The online rant comes after Pacquiao lost a court battle with Paradigm Sports management, who also represent McGregor.

      Aiming a threat at Pacquiao, McGregor posted in a deleted tweet: “I’ll blow his head off with a back hand in bare knuckle.”
      PacMan in 2020 signed with Paradigm Sports management and was in talks to fight McGregor in the Middle East.
      But the Filipino icon failed to have a bout under Paradigm and was instead sued for breach of contract.
      Following a case in California, Pacquiao was left to owe $8m (£6.3m), with £4m in damages, £1.7m in legal fees and additional 10 percent annual interest on the verdict amount for three years.

      McGregor, 34, took to social media, reacting to the news by posting: “And don’t let it happen again, @MannyPacquiao.”
      And in another deleted tweet, he added: “Manny owes 8 in all. 5.1 he owes and then 2.1 in legal costs.
      “Legal fees are heavy but that’s what we do. Heavy weight operations.”
      Paradigm signed Pacquiao as a client three years ago and tried to negotiate a fight with both McGregor or Mikey Garcia.

      But the eight-division boxing champion was later announced to be facing Errol Spence Jr.
      American Spence, 33, pulled out injured and was replaced by Yordenis Ugas, who won the fight and sent Pacquiao into retirement.
      But Paradigm alleged that Pacquiao’s other representatives –  Al Haymon’s Premier Boxing Champions – interfered with their deal.
      It led to Paradigm filing the lawsuit, which Pacquiao, 44, lost when the jury ruled that he acted in bad faith.
      The Orange County jury voted 9-3 in favour of Paradigm in the case.
      Paradigm CEO Audie Attar said in a statement: “We are elated to learn of the jury’s ruling in Paradigm’s favor in our suit against Manny Pacquiao.
      “The jury plainly found that Pacquiao testified falsely in denying Paradigm’s claims against him, and his excuses for his conduct proves our case that a breach of contract was committed.
      “Hopefully, Manny will have learned a lesson from the verdict and will henceforth act with the honesty and integrity that was so lacking in his treatment of Paradigm.”
      Pacquiao retired as a professional following defeat to Ugas, 36, but returned last December for an exhibition bout.

      But he recently revealed his next exhibition is set for the summer while also opening the door to a full boxing comeback.
