Rio Ferdinand hits out at BBC over coverage of England Lionesses' Euro 2025 triumph with Man Utd icon left stunned
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) RIO FERDINAND was stunned by the absence of one ex-Lioness on BBC Sport's coverage of the Euro 2025 final. The former England international was watching the Lionesses beat World Cup winners Spain on penalties and be crowned back-to-back European champions on Sunday.

With three shocked-face emojis, he wrote on X: "How's @fara_williams47 not on the @BBCSport coverage." The ex-Manchester United defender is of course referring to former Lioness Fara Williams. Williams, who made 172 appearances for her country between 2001 and 2019, has become one of the most prominent pundits in the women's game since she hung up her boots. read more football what a leg-end England icon Lucy Bronze reveals she played whole Euro 2025 with broken leg She had featured regularly on the BBC's coverage of the tournament over the summer.

Abbey Clancy says ‘your attitude stinks' as she aims ‘chauvinist' jibe at Peter Crouch
Model Abbey Clancy and former footballer Peter Crouch have enjoyed a beachside holiday in recent weeks, but Abbey has been left frustrated by her husband Abbey Clancy says husband Peter Crouch's 'attitude stinks' as she branded him a 'chauvinist'. The couple have recently enjoyed a beachside getaway with their four children. While on their sunshine getaway the pair have been spotted putting on loved-up displays and enjoying a spot of tennis together. Peter has also found time to enjoy a spot of time alone with pals. On their The Therapy Crouch podcast, Abbey told listeners that the former England footballer has been playing padel and hitting the golf course while away. It has left Abbey taking their children to family activities together. She said: 'It's been so nice being with the kids and going down to the beach in the evening. Me in the waterparks and Pete's on the golf course for his male bonding sessions that he all of a sudden needs.' Ex-Liverpool striker Peter, 44, however explained he also spent time with their children. He replied 'Having said that, I've done a lot with the kids as well. I've minded those kids.' Abbey, 39, shot back at her husband with a sharp jibe. She said: 'Your attitude is absolutely stinking lately. You're turning into a chauvinist.' Peter however explained he believes it is important to 'bond with other males'. He responded: 'I don't know why you think I'm a male chauvinist, just because I said to you once that it's nice sometimes for a male to bond with other males without his family. I don't think that's a bad thing.' Model Abbey however took 'major offence' that Peter was opting to spend time with friends instead of with his family. The retired footballer replied: 'You shouldn't. I don't think you should. You speak to your friends everyday.' Peter and Abbey first crossed paths in Liverpool in 2005. Reflecting on their initial encounter during a Good Morning Britain appearance, Abbey revealed: "When we first met, he begged me for my number and then I went to the loo or the bar, and when I came back, he was talking to another girl. I was like, 'How dare you?'" Peter subsequently insisted he was "just talking" to the other woman, but Abbey demanded her number back. He continued: "I said, 'You can't give someone your number and then take it back'." Despite the rocky start, their romance flourished and the pair exchanged vows on June 30, 2011. According to OK!, the family reside in a "magical" Surrey mansion featuring its own cinema room and expansive garden. The impressive property frequently appears across Abbey's social media accounts. Followers have caught sight of Peter at work behind his substantial wooden desk, adorned with football trophies, alongside moments enjoying the home's outdoor swimming pool and timber play zone. They reportedly relocated to the spectacular residence in 2016.

I've a major Rangers takeaway after remarkable tale and Celtic face competition kryptonite
Former Ibrox chairman Paul Murray sat down with the Hotline Live team in a blockbuster exclusive after playing a key role in the US takeover Above all else there was one major take away from Paul Murray 's guest appearance on Hotline Live the other day. And the tens of thousands of you who have watched the special edition of our online show already may have reached the same conclusion. This is a man, let's not forget, who has spent most of the last 15 years running around in various states of emotional exhaustion given the extent of his concerns for Rangers Football Club. And, over that time, each and every one of them were proved to be more than valid. Yet there he was on Friday afternoon, in a Daily Record studio, telling his remarkable story apparently without a care in the world. And that's the take away right there. If Paul Murray has entered a zen like state then it stands to reason that things as we know them are about to change. For the first time since late 2010, when Craig Whyte slithered into view, Murray now feels able to sit back, put his feet up and enjoy the show. Having played a key role in facilitating Andrew Cavenagh and his consortium to successfully conclude their takeover, it is Murray's firmly held belief that Rangers are finally out of the red zone and that his own work here is done. All of which should come as great comfort to his fellow supporters who have also been forced to fret over the wellbeing of their club for so long. But this sudden change in the mood music around Ibrox should also send out a signal to the side from across town which has proven itself to be so adept at staying ahead of the curve and making hay while the sun has been shining. So successful have Celtic become throughout this period of unprecedented domestic dominance that it's actually difficult even just to imagine any genuine threat being offered up to their supremacy. Thirteen titles out of the last 14 is testament to the scale of this monopoly and there are some from the east end of Glasgow who will be rolling their eyes at the very suggestion that Cavenagh's Rangers ought to be treated with renewed levels of respect. They've heard it all so many times before that they've become utterly bored by it. Many of them no longer even regard Rangers as a serious, worthy rival. On the contrary, the perpetually down on their luck neighbours are there mostly for their amusement. As far as they are concerned, after witnessing a long succession of rinse and repeat summer rebuilds, Rangers are nothing more than the boy who cried wolf. And if that remains the prevailing attitude this time around, even though the Americans have moved in next door, then that would be perfectly understandable too. Celtic have more than earned the right to see themselves as the rulers of this particular roost given the trophies that have been stock piled in the boardroom over the last decade or so as well as the bloated state of the club's bank balance. With Brendan Rodgers at the helm and this elite level manager eyeing up a fifth successive league flag, the champions ought to be more than robust enough to cope with whatever Cavenagh might have in mind. But, even so, they too probably ought to take heed of Murray's sudden switch in mindset. Because, if he is right and if Rangers really are about to become a relevant, credible force again, then it could come as a timely shot in the arm for their club too. What Celtic cannot afford is to become complacent or lulled into a false sense of never ending security. And competition is complacency's kryptonite. So perhaps on this occasion it might be healthy for the club and its hierarchy to assume that the ground might be about to shift beneath their feet after all. And to do something meaningful about it. For example, when Russell Martin confirmed during a TV interview last week that he is indeed serious about pursuing a deal for Crystal Palace winger Jeserun Rak-Sakyi, Celtic may have felt the first minor tremor. If Rangers are even considering entering into a loan deal for a player and taking on an obligation to buy Ray-Sakyi outright for a fee of around £8m, then it does indeed point to a significant raising of the stakes. The sheer size of the figures involved certainly suggests that, under Cavenagh and his friends from the San Francisco 49ers, Rangers will no longer be scrambling around down the back of the couch looking for some loose change whenever the transfer window opens up for business. Whether ultimately they thrash out a deal for the 22-year-old or not, the very fact that Martin has publicly declared an interest feels like a statement of intention. It shows that Rangers see themselves as credible operators in the recruitment market and that alone ought to be enough to up the ante where Celtic's current dealings are concerned. It may also demand a rush of urgency. For his part, Rodgers has been giving off some mixed messages over the last couple of weeks in terms of the strategy which is being deployed in the hunt for some much needed squad reinforcements as well as a handful of first XI upgrades. Having initially described Hayato Inamura as a 'club investment' and a new arrival who would probably be sent out on loan, the Irishman appeared to be putting some distance between himself and that particular signing. Reading between the lines, Rodgers seemed to be suggesting that there might be two separate tiers to Celtic's approach to recruitment this summer. One drawn up by the men above and one charted out by the manager himself. He made a point of pivoting back from that position last week in Como when he made a point of stressing that he and the club remain perfectly aligned in their priorities. Which is all well and fine. But it does beg the rather obvious question, why say such a thing in the first place? And it doesn't address the burning issue of a clear and obvious deficit in quality at the manager's disposal since the sales of Kyogo Furuhashi and Nicolas Kuhn as well as the injury which will keep Jota on a treatment table for the rest of this year. Nor the fact that the top flight kicks off with a visit from St Mirren in six days' time and there is less than a month to go before a £50m play-off for a place in the league phase of this season's Champions League. Celtic will do significant business before the window closes. Rodgers will almost certainly add some very pricey improvements to his starting line up. But the clock is ticking and this summer, for the first time in a long while, they can't simply assume that the neighbours will be in no fit shape to keep up.
