Why do men like Jeremy Clarkson get so upset at women playing football?
Because in the very same breath, he compares that excitement to what he imagines he'd feel watching cow racing in Sri Lanka. Yes, really. His exact words: 'It was exciting — in the same way that I'd be excited if I were in Sri Lanka and the locals invited me to watch some cow racing.'

Now Littler, 18, has called for United to pinch England striker Watkins from Aston Villa. Ruben Amorim's side have been linked with a host of strikers including Chelsea's Nicolas Jackson and RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko. There's growing belief they could bring in another frontman to help Rasmus Hojlund carry the load. But Littler is of the view that United should go in for a swap deal involving Watkins and say goodbye to Garnacho. He told gaming website during the 13th Target Sports Stars Fishing Championship: 'Do we need another striker?. "I think Garnacho is on his way out and if Villa want him then I think we have to take Watkins off them.' Watkins, 29, bagged 17 goals for Villa last season and was also key to England's run to the Euros final. Littler also wants United to bulk up their midfield as well and is eyeing ex-Villa star Douglas Luiz, who joined Juventus last season but is reportedly keen on a Premier League return.

"But I'm happy with Ugarte and Mainoo too or maybe Bruno will sit now or Cunha alongside him.' Man Utd & Newcastle in £40M Tug-of-War for Bundesliga Wonderkid! United have already added Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha this summer but Littler is clearly of the view that they need more to get back to the top of English football. Manager Amorim is hoping to make major changes to the squad that finished 15th in the league and get them back to winning big things next season.

'I like playing No.9' - Newcastle star suggests he can replace Alexander Isak
Anthony Gordon says he is 'happy to play as a No.9' if needed amid speculation Alexander Isak will leave Newcastle United. Isak's future is up in the air after he informed Newcastle that he wants to leave the club this summer, and did not gone on their pre-season tour of Asia, though the official line is a thigh injury ruled him out. On Friday, Liverpool submitted a £110million offer for the Sweden international, who is considered to be one of the best strikers in world football right now. The Magpies instantly rejected the bid as they value their talisman at £150m and some reports claim that the Reds are not planning on making another offer any time soon. Nevertheless, Eddie Howe has admitted he does not know whether the 25-year-old will be at St. James' Park next season, with Newcastle now looking at signing a replacement striker. Wake up to find news on your club in your inbox every morning with Metro's Football Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your team in the link we'll send you so we can get football news tailored to you. With the exception of young William Osula, Newcastle do not have another centre-forward in their squad and have already missed out on signing Hugo Ekitike and Joao Pedro this summer. Thankfully for Howe, a solution may already exist within his squad, with winger Gordon suggesting he is ready to fill Isak's void if necessary, telling the Daily Mail: 'I've said before, I like playing No 9.' 'I'd have to practise and get the reps in to get the patterns that we do. If that's a challenge the manager wants to throw at me, I'm happy.' But Gordon says he has no intention of taking the famous Newcastle No.9 shirt that was recently vacated by Callum Wilson, adding: 'There's a lot of pressure with that number! I'll stick to 10, thank you!' The England international found himself in a very similar predicament to Isak last summer, coming very close to switching St. James' Park for Anfield in a big money move. Gordon says the transfer speculation, combined with his experience at Euro 2024, affected his form going into the 2024/25 season, eventually recording just 12 goal contributions in the Premier League, compared to 26 the season prior. 'I understand what Alex is going through,' the 24-year-old added. 'It was difficult for me because one, I had the Euros, which was horrendous for me mentally. I was there, I wasn't playing. 'Then I had the transfer stuff. With PSR [Profit and Sustainability Rules], I thought I was going to leave at some point in the window. It didn't happen. I had to get my head around that to begin with, and then to get my head around it again was hard. More Trending 'I'm a human being. It's really difficult. That is why I understand what Alex is going through. I feel for him. 'He will be going through a lot. The club is going through a lot. I hope everyone gets what they want in the end. 'What I can say, for me, is that it's been an absolute pleasure to be out of the transfer speculation for a summer! It's the first time in about three years! It's been so easy, so mentally refreshing. 'Keep me out of it! I'm not linked to any clubs and I'm very happy where I am. I'm enjoying my football again.'
