News about Tony Adams

Author Plum Sykes is reportedly causing a stir with her new novel set in the Cotswolds, as locals try to guess who the main characters are based on. The book, Wives Like Us, sees the bored spouses of uber wealthy men 'fight for social supremacy', according to the Times. According to the outlet, the Cotswolds' setting of the novel is 'certainly of the moment', as fascination with the area has increased in recent years. This, it explains, is largely due to the 'stream of rich Londoners [who] started decamping there during Covid'. Among those with properties in the area are Jeremy Clarkson , the Camerons, Richard Hammond , Dom Joly, Tony Adams , the Beckhas and Jilly Cooper among others.

Matches have been so bonkers that it would be impossible to recall where you were when the craziness began to unfold for our viewing pleasure. Manchester United's snatched defeat from the jaws of victory on Thursday, allowing Chelsea's Cole Palmer to score twice in the dying seconds of stoppage time. Mail Sport gathered our top maddest games from the Premier League's recent return to action.

Nottingham Forest has threatened to leave the City Ground as a result of a council election over rent - and the city has no fewer than four options for a new home. The club leases the property on which their historic base has been built since 1898, who are now demanding that the £250,000 rent be increased to £1 million. Chairman Tom Cartledge said that unless there was "real progress," they would have to 'look elsewhere.' The HS2 could be bought elsewhere and now not needed.

Virgil van Dijk led by example on Sunday evening in Liverpool's Carabao Cup final match against Chelsea. During extra time, the Reds captain soared at a corner and shot a header into the back of the net, after seeing an earlier attempt called out for offside. A number of youngsters took to the field for the match due to a injuries crisis for Liverpool, causing van Dijk to step up and score a winning goal at Wembley Stadium.

DANNY MURPHY INTERVIEWS MICHAEL OWEN — When Michael Owen is asked to pick his favorite moment from his career, his World Cup victory over Argentina, his hat-trick for England in Germany, or even winning the Ballon d'Or - he is the first Englishman to do so. The honest answer always surprises them. It's the FA Cup final of 2001, when he single-handedly lifted the trophy for Liverpool with two spectacular late goals against Arsenal. The first was an instinctive half-volley in the box before Patrick Vieira and Martin Keown could react, with the winner a blistering run past Lee Dixon and Tony Adams before he tipped for a strong finish over David Seaman. I had the best seat in the house to see it, having been knocked a few minutes earlier for yelling Ashley Cole around in the heat of the Millennium Stadium. There will certainly be more airings of "the Owen final" before Arsenal and Liverpool face each other in the FA Cup third round at the Emirates, a match I am covering for BBC television. To get myself in the mood, I spoke with Michael, who was also a good friend from Liverpool, to reminisce about the golden day in Cardiff and other wonderful memories.

The Gunners were in prime contention to capture their first Premier League trophy since 2004, but only after a late-season slump to finish fifth behind Manchester City. Mikel Arteta has been in the job since December 2019, when he took over Unai Emery, who had only been in the job for 18 months before being dismissed.

In a special episode of Mail Sport's podcast, Martin Keown has discussed the dark arts of football. It's All Kicking Off. Keown was regarded as one of the best defenders of his time, but he spent more than a decade with Arsenal, where he gained three Premier League titles. He formed a strong alliance with Gunners legend Tony Adams and has also represented England at four major tournaments.

Tony Adams, a legendary Arsenal player, has warned that this season's campaign could be as good as it gets for the Gunners. Mikel Arteta's team pushed Manchester City into the final few weeks of the 2022-23 Premier League season but fell horribly short. The Gunners had not been expected to fight for the English top-flight crown, but they were stunned to remain ranked for the majority of the season before falling out of steam toward the climax.

After being kicked off by Sky Sports after almost 30 years on the air, Soccer AM hung up its boots on Saturday morning. Boss decided in March not to continue the popular Saturday morning show on, although ten episodes are still to run. As of Saturday, the countdown came to an end. 'Soccer AM has been instrumental in our coverage of football for the past three decades, and we continue to adapt to our clients' changing tastes,' a Sky spokesperson told The Mirror in March.'

Arsenal's loss of the Premier League title this season has been due to a lack of squad depth, according to Tony Adams. Mikel Arteta's side suffered to their second straight loss against Nottingham Forest this week, putting an end to their title hopes and giving Manchester City the big prize. Adams claims that the Gunners lost the title three months earlier but praised manager Mikel Arteta for bringing the'most' out of his team.

IN THE MONEY: Wimbledon's reputation as the crown jewel in the UK's sporting summer each year is bolstered by the tournament's booming state. In 2022, income from the Championships soared to £346.6 million, up nearly 20% over the previous record of £292 million from 2019.

Thirty-five football players, as well as some new ones, needed residential treatment in England last season to cope with heroin use, most commonly gambling addiction. The next most common reason for players being admitted to the Sporting Chance clinic was substance abuse, including alcohol and heroin. But the gambling epidemic is certainly the most concerning in a sport saturated in gambling and in a professional league system where the overwhelming majority of clubs have one or two gambling partners.

In addition to being inducted into the Premier League Hall of Fame for 2023, Tony Adams has joined Petr Cech and Rio Ferdinand. From a vote by fans around the world from a 15 person shortlisted, the former defender, who played solely for Arsenal during his stellar career, was chosen. Adams is the 19th member of the Hall of Fame after eight legendary celebrities were inducted in 2021, 2022, and Cech this year.

BY MATT BARLOW EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW : With Brian Clough and a roast dinner with Tony Adams, the Dutchman discusses psychology with Brian Clough. He reflects on five lost trophies with Real Madrid and a final loss against Ipswich when AZ Alkmaar were still reeling from the title's wild celebrations, but he starts with a free kick against West Ham. Where else? Since the emergence of social media, that free-kick has lived a life of its own, and when Metgod returned to Nottingham Forest to take a seat on the board more than 30 years ago, people are still worried about it.

Arsenal's title hopes could be jeopardized if six key players are not fit before the season's end, according to Tony Adams. With 10 matches remaining on the season, Mikel Arteta's side is still eight points clear at the top of the Premier League, although reigning champions Manchester City has a game in hand. Adams said the Gunners' latest loss to Sporting Lisbon in the Europa League last-16 had shown the club's back up players were 'bang average'.

Bukayo Saka of Arsenal and England is the top player in world football, aside from World Cup winner Lionel Messi, according to ex-Gunners captain Tony Adams. Saka, Mikel Arteta's talisman in 28 league appearances, is on the quest for Arsenal's first title in two decades, and she's also excelling on the international stage. The 21-year-old winger scored a spectacular goal outside the box against Ukraine on Sunday, helping the Three Lions maintain their Euro 2024 qualification group with a 2-0 win.

Neil 'Razor' Ruddock, 54, has shed seven stone after having two thirds of his stomach removed to combat his obesity woes. And now, father-of-four Razor, whose weight soared to 27 stones in lockdown, has a glimpse at his new eating habits following his 'life-saving' surgery on September 8. Instead of making fried breakfasts and bacon sandwiches, his new daily meal routine now begins with a single poached egg and a handful of mushrooms. He's no longer frequenting greasy spoons for lunch, opting for a mini-pitta bread with finely chopped spring onion and shredded lettuce on the side. His evening meal, which used to be a McDonald's drive-thru, Filet-O-Fish, cheeseburger, and a chocolate milkshake, is now a small swordfish or tuna steak served on a tiny bed of wholegrain rice with a small green salad on the side. Razor is given a high protein yoghurt and a small handful of nuts to keep him from going hungry between meals.

Arsenal has been a fan of Manchester City for the entire Premier League season so far. Now, and hopefully, these two title foes will meet. The match at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday night was originally scheduled for October 19. However, this match was postponed due to Queen Elizabeth II's death. This means a game of ugliest importance in the title race appears to be happening almost under radar, on Amazon Prime, while the Champions League is the primary focus. Arsenal has a game in hand three points ahead of City, but they do have a game in hand. However, if City wins, they will be overtaken if they drop two points against Brentford on Saturday. So where is Wednesday night's pivotal match likely to be won and lost? We take a look at the possibilities.

Tony Adams, an Arsenal legend, has voiced reservations about William Saliba ahead of his former club's top-of-the-table match against Manchester City on Wednesday night. Saliba has been a revelation for Arsenal this season after coming from a loan spell at Marseille, quickly establishing himself as a key player in Mikel Arteta's starting lineup. The Gunners have risen to the top of the table thanks to his results, but they have only gained one point from their last two games and appeared to be insecure from set-pieces.

If he didn't cut short a boozy night out with Ray Parlour, Gilles Grimandi has recalled the time he was convinced he'd die. The Frenchman arrived at Arsenal in the summer of 1997 with the club's infamous 'Tuesday Club,' the club's mascot. Parlour and Tony Adams enjoyed a drink and a night out, but Grimandi soon realized that he was going to have a tough time keeping up with his new coworkers.

Noele Gordon (right with Jane Roddington and Tony Adams, and inset with M. Richardson) delighted millions with her portrayal of matriarchal businesswoman and motel owner Meg Richardson in Crossroads, England. Tony Adams, a co-star, ponders over her premature death at the age of 65 in 1985. Adams, who was 21 years his senior, was once so close to Noele that the two were seated opposite each other in Birmingham. Pictured left: Helena Bonham-Carter

Hundreds of Arsenal legends, moments, and triumphs have been showcased, including Arsene Wenger, Jack Wilshere, Sportmail's Martin Keown, Alex Scott, Faye White, Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp, and Kelly Smith among the hundreds of Arsenal artists who will perform at the stadium, including 36 legends of the men's team.

On Wednesday evening, two reassuring faces in the front row were put to the test as Katya Jones put her acting chops to the test once more in a new version of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. In a pantomime adaptation of the classic 19th century fairy tale, the Strictly Come Dancing professional swapped Elstree in Manchester's Middleton Arena. During her last appearance at the Rochdale venue, she was in good company, with former show partner Tony Adams and finalist Helen Skelton on hand.

For millennial football fans, seeing famous football stars flooded their social media pages with festive photos has been a modern trend. However, footballers didn't have the same luxurious store three decades ago, and they had to find other ways to broadcast their Christmas cheer. Fortunately, there was always a willing photographer on hand to capture these moments, but unfortunately looking back at these images, which were often used in magazines and advertisements, haven't necessarily been appropriate for the familiar faces on display. The Christmas clock is winding down, and we take a look at some of Christmas pictures from the past.
