'#TeamBrady,' another supporter replied.

Wrexham have also dominated headlines since being taken over by actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, and that competition often boiled over both on the pitch and off it, as shown by Brady's bold on-camera claim.

Eve McMahon in medal mix at European Championships
Eve McMahon remains in contention for a medal after all three Irish sailors at the Laser European Championships in Sweden qualified for the one-person dinghy gold fleet series. The deciding six races will be held from Thursday until Saturday in Marstrand and Howth's McMahon holds third place in the overall Open Trophy senior women's ILCA 6 (laser radial) class at the end of the qualification round. The 21-year-old is nine points off leader American Erika Reineke but just one point behind Italy's Chiara Benini Floriani in second, with the latter duo also first and second in the separate European Championship rankings. However, McMahon was lucky to hold her top-three position when the final race of the qualification round was cancelled due to very light winds. She had incurred two technical penalties and would have carried maximum points had the race been upheld, which would have left her barely inside the gold fleet qualification criteria. McMahon leads the U23 classification from Roos Wind of the Netherlands by 22 points. Meanwhile, Eve's brother Ewan McMahon dropped to 30th overall in the ILCA 7 (laser standard) European Championship Open Trophy after he struggled in the conditions. Carlow's Finn Lynch did better and lies in 16th overall (tenth of the Europeans) at the halfway point of what was a 153-boat event.

Celebrity SAS's Rudy Reyes accused of secret affair with Real Housewife behind husband's back
Phypers has denied being emotionally and physically abusive to his ex Denise Richards CHEAT SHOCK Celebrity SAS's Rudy Reyes accused of secret affair with Real Housewife behind husband's back CELEBRITY SAS star Rudy Reyes has been accused of having an affair with Real Housewife Denise Richards by her estranged husband. Aaron Phypers, 49, filed for divorce from former Bond girl Richards, 54, last month following an explosive row. 5 Rudy Reyes has been accused of having an affair with Denise Richards Credit: Getty 5 Denise starred on Special Forces: World's Toughest Test in 2023 Credit: Getty 5 Aaron Phypers filed for divorce from Richards last month Credit: Getty The American businessman has now claimed he discovered Richards was cheating on him with former Marine Reyes, 53, back in April. Richards starred with Reyes in the third series of Special Forces: World's Toughest Test in 2023. The military instructor split from his gun instructor girlfriend Jade Struck, 25, earlier this year. In an interview with The Mail, Phypers said Richards had promised to break things off with Reyes, only to hook up with him the following month in a California hotel. That alleged rendezvous was the basis for their July showdown that signalled the end of their marriage. READ MORE ON CELEBRITY SAS marching orders Celebrity SAS star axed after 'lying & cheating' on show - as another quits Phypers said: "I'm broken-hearted and f***ing tired. Really, she's f***ed me up. "We've been together nine years and for her to do that and to lie to me consistently - I'm totally tired and drained." He said the relationship had been rocky for some time, aggravated by six house moves over the course of their relationship and dozens of pets under their care. He said Richards owned 58 dogs, two pot-bellied pigs, and an 'incontinent' Sphinx cat. The disgruntled ex also accused Richards of being addicted to vicodin and alcohol. But the breaking point came when Phypers said he discovered 107 messages between Richards and Reyes, some of which detailed hotel meet ups and included intimate photos. Furious TV bosses yell at us for pushing celebs too hard, admits Rudy Reyes as he reveals reason why NONE of the stars would pass day 1 of SAS training He told the publication: "I just had this feeling that something was off because her behavior had changed – she was being kind of cool to me. "I opened her phone – we both know each other's passwords - so I opened it up and then I went to her deleted texts and there were 107 of them between her and this guy. "I went through them and it just broke my heart." Following Phypers and Richards' row in July, the actress filed a lawsuit accusing him of physical and verbal abuse, including leaving her with a black eye. Phypers has vehemently denied the claims, telling US Weekly, "Let me be unequivocally clear: I have never physically or emotionally abused Denise — or anyone. "These accusations are completely false and deeply hurtful. Denise and I, like many couples, have faced our share of challenges, but any suggestion of abuse is categorically untrue. "I have always tried to approach our marriage with love, patience, and respect. I ask for privacy as we navigate personal matters, and I hope that the public and media will refrain from spreading harmful and baseless claims.' The Sun has contacted representatives for Richards and Reyes for comment. 5 Reyes is currently on screens in the UK in Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins Credit: PA 5 Richards has accused Phypers of emotional and physical abuse, which he has denied Credit: Getty

Chelsea fans are crying out for Gianluigi Donnarumma and Marc Guehi – how likely are either transfers this summer?
Enzo Maresca has identified the area of his squad that he'd most like to strengthen DONN THE MOVE? Chelsea fans are crying out for Gianluigi Donnarumma and Marc Guehi – how likely are either transfers this summer? GIANLUIGI DONNARUMMA'S dramatic Paris Saint-Germain exit has plenty in the Premier League on alert. But despite a season of chopping and changing in goal last term, Chelsea are not one of those. Advertisement 5 Gianluigi Donnarumma is set to leave Paris Saint-Germain Credit: Reuters Play Dream Team now!

The Blues, who explored a cut-price deal for AC Milan's Mike Maignan earlier in the summer, have little interest in the Italian. Donnarumma shone in the Champions League last season as PSG claimed their first European crown but will leave before the end of the window. The European champions have signed Lucas Chevalier from Lille and Donnarumma was left out of their squad for the Uefa Super Cup against Tottenham. While Enzo Maresca had a headache in goal last season, the Blues feel they have turned a corner. Advertisement READ MORE IN FOOTBALL LAST GIFT Ballon d'Or-winning Man Utd star Denis Law's will revealed after death aged 84 Their army of keepers has been trimmed down and, after a solid end to last season Spaniard Robert Sanchez is now first choice. That did not stop them exploring Maignan, though club sources insist they are happy with the options at Stamford Bridge. Filip Jorgensen, signed from Villarreal last summer, is seen as an able deputy. That is before you get to what a deal for Donnarumma would have looked like. Advertisement BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK 5 5 PSG are thought to have originally offered the keeper a deal which would have made him one of the highest paid in his position worldwide before their U-turn this summer. Advertisement Chelsea's wage structure has undergone a lot of change under their American owners, with players signed on long, incentivised deals with a lower basic wage than at other clubs. Watch Ruben Amorim's reaction when asked if Man Utd are signing PSG keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma 5 TRANSFER NEWS LIVE - KEEP UP WITH ALL THE LATEST FROM A BUSY SUMMER WINDOW The Blues are keen to avoid the mistake of tying themselves to another big name on eye-watering wages as they did with Raheem Sterling. Advertisement Donnarumma's wages of around £200,000-a-week would not fit the current structure. Furthermore, while the Italian impressed in Europe, his stats across last season were below average in Ligue 1. Chelsea are also keen not to block the pathway for Belgian youngster Mike Penders. Penders, 20, is well thought of inside Stamford Bridge and has been sent to sister club Strasbourg on loan for the season. Advertisement Instead of pushing for a new goalkeeper, Maresca has now turned his attention to a central defender following Levi Colwill's ACL injury. Maresca said a new centre-back is now a "priority" this summer, which has led many to assume they would rival Liverpool for former Chelsea man Marc Guehi. The Blues have a 20 per cent sell-on clause for Guehi, meaning a deal between Chelsea and Palace would result in a lower fee for Maresca. However, the west Londoners are yet to explore a move for their academy graduate, who has one year left on his deal at Selhurst Park. Advertisement
