'Typical that there is instant judgement' on Gyokeres
Former Premier League striker Chris Sutton believes those questioning whether Viktor Gyokeres can make the step up after playing 60 minutes in the Premier League are wrong to do so."It's just typical isn't in that there is instant judgement and people are making their minds up on him after an hour," said Sutton on BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club. "When players move to a new club, some fit in better than others, but it takes them all a time to settle in. "In the final third, it is about combinations and understanding of others so you know how they will link up with others. "Gyokeres didn't get any service on Sunday. Bukayo Saka had a pretty poor game and Gabriel Martinelli didn't really look for him, so it is going to take time."No matter which way you want to look at the Portuguese league, his numbers were phenomenal and his finishing in the Champions League showed he is a pretty good striker."As a striker you need to get the opportunities so that understanding of one another should come the longer they train together and as the season goes on."Watch the full episode on BBC iPlayer and listen on BBC Sounds

Beloved BBC documentary with celebrity hosts AXED despite killer ratings and rave reviews from viewers and critics alike
The BBC has axed one of its most popular documentaries, despite the show pulling in rave reviews from viewers and critics alike. Paddy and Chris: Road Trippin' followed Paddy McGuinness, 52, and Chris Harris, 50, as they searched for the secrets to aging well as they approached their milestone 50th birthdays. The pair traveled to Sweden for the show's first episode, which saw them face their fears of aging head-on as they tried to learn if people cope with the hands of time better in Europe. Airing on Sunday nights, a cool 3.2 million viewers tuned into the first episode. Unfortunately the booming ratings weren't enough to secure a follow-up season. A TV insider told The Sun: 'It certainly wouldn't have helped that just a few weeks before the show began on the Beeb, host Chris was slating the corporation following Freddie Flintoff's horror crash while they were filming Top Gear. 'He said that he'd warned show bosses that someone could be killed or seriously injured on the show claiming producers were devising increasingly 'stupid and dangerous' stunts.' The insider continued: 'The timing was not great, but by that stage Road Trippin', which saw Chris reunited with Paddy without Freddie, had already been made and was ready to go out on air.' Reflecting on his treatment at the BBC, Freddie said on his Disney+ documentary that he was treated 'like a piece of meat'. Paddy, meanwhile, has kept a relative silence about the horror crash and the circumstances surrounding it. While Road Trippin' will not be returning any time soon, it has been reported that the BBC is open to future collaborations with its stars. A BBC spokesperson told the Daily Mail: 'Whilst viewers can enjoy all episodes of Road Tripping on BBC iPlayer now, there are currently no plans for any new episodes at the moment.' In March 2023, the corporation apologised to Freddie for his injuries after a report was compiled by health and safety experts both inside and outside of the BBC. It paid compensation in October. The report was not published publicly. The BBC then put Top Gear on ice in November 2023 - seemingly indefinitely - due to the 'exceptional circumstances' of the crash. The broadcaster said then that there would be 'more to say in the near future' - but no further announcement on Top Gear has ever come. Chris told Joe Rogan on a podcast that while Paddy and Freddie are 'brilliant entertainers', they did not have as much experience behind the wheel as him. He explained that his fears were so great that he warned the broadcaster that 'change' was desperately needed on the show. He said: 'What was never spoken about was that three months before the accident, I'd gone to the BBC and said, 'Unless you change something, someone's going to die on this show'. 'So I went to them, I went to the BBC and I told them of my concerns from what I'd seen - as the most experienced driver on the show by a mile.'

Daniel Dubois splits from coach Don Charles in latest team change after Oleksandr Usyk defeat
Daniel Dubois has split from coach Don Charles, the trainer has said, in another change to the heavyweight's team. Last week, it was revealed that Dubois had parted ways with assistant coach Kieran Farrell, and that the British boxer had teamed up with agent Sam Jones, who is expected to take over some duties from Dubois's father Stan. Now, Dubois has made a change of head trainer – not for the first time in his professional career – according to Charles. The veteran coach told The Times that he and Dubois had parted ways on 'good terms, with no ill feelings'. The move follows Dubois's knockout defeat by Oleksandr Usyk in July, the Briton's second stoppage loss to the Ukrainian in two years. Usyk, 38, finished the 27-year-old in the fifth round at Wembley Stadium, having previously beaten him in Poland in 2023. Usyk's victory in the rematch saw him become a two-time undisputed heavyweight champion, as he reclaimed the IBF title, which Dubois carried into the bout. Dubois came in for criticism after the loss, when it was revealed that he had hosted a pre-fight party at his family's home. Charles tentatively defended the 'gathering', saying the same had been done before September's knockout of Anthony Joshua. Charles was credited with playing a key role in the finest run of Dubois's career, as 'Dynamite' stopped Jarrell Miller, Filip Hrgovic and Joshua between December 2023 and September 2024. The partnership with Charles followed Dubois's previous stints with coaches Shane McGuigan and Martin Bowers, meaning Dubois's next trainer will be the fourth of his eight-year professional career. It has been reported that Dubois will now be coached by Tony Sims at Matchroom Gym, in a unique move for a boxer promoted by Queensberry.
