The warning for heavy and thundery rain started yesterday at 9pm and will end at 8pm today. While forecasters admit the outlook for today remains uncertain, they expect it to bucket it down in western England and southern Wales especially. Slow-moving showers and thunderstorms, meanwhile, will crawl across the east. How much rain you will see will vary wildly. Some might…

‘Wannabe boy racers’ caught doing doughnuts in £100,000 cars by Buckingham Palace | UK News Two souped up cars worth nearly £100,000 have been hit with fines after performing donuts near Buckingham Palace. A BMW Coupe and Mercedes C63 AMG were both spotted on CCTV on Pall Mall after triggering acoustic noise cameras installed in 2021.

Jarell Quansah has admitted ‘it wasn’t a nice feeling’ after being hauled off at half-time in Arne Slot’s first game in charge but says he accepted the decision of the new Liverpool boss. Quansah was named in the starting XI alongside Virgil van Dijk as Jurgen Klopp’s successor got his first taste of Premier League action against Ipswich Town on the opening weekend of the season. With the game goalless at the break, Slot made the decision to take off Quansah with Ibrahima Konate coming on for the England Under-21 star. The Reds went onto score twice in the second-half…

John Obi Mikel claims Chelsea had agreed personal terms with Victor Osimhen but the deal for the Napoli striker broke down over ‘minor details’. Chelsea made a late attempt to sign the Nigeria international in the closing stages of the summer transfer window but the Premier League club were unable to complete a move. The 25-year-old had previously rejected an offer to join Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli, whose €80 million (£67.3m) bid was accepted by Napoli. Obi Mikel has revealed that he played a role in negotiations between Osimhen and Chelsea and says a deal was only ‘hours away’ from…

Arsenal defender Nuno Tavares has been showered with compliments by Lazio owner Claudio Lotito after his bright debut for the Serie A club. Tavares joined the Italian side on a season-long loan in July having fallen out of favour with Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta. The full-back signed for the Gunners from Benfica in 2021 for around £8million but spent the last two previous seasons on loan at Marseille and Nottingham Forest respectively. The Portuguese defender endured a forgetful stint with Forest – making just 12 appearances in all competitions – but is hoping to get back to his best at…

Republic of Ireland fans were filmed taunting England fans with chants of ‘Lizzie’s in a box’ ahead of Saturday’s Nations League clash between the two sides. The day before the second anniversary of the death of Elizabeth II, England sealed a 2-0 win over Ireland at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin with Declan Rice and Jack Grealish on the score sheet. Ahead of kick-off, a group of Irish supporters were filmed singing the chant at full volume outside a Dublin pub as England fans were escorted by police on the other side of the road. There was a heavy Garda…

Harry Kane may be beyond reproach with 62 goals as England’s leading scorer but he’s far from being a value bet to celebrate his 100th international cap by breaking the deadlock against Finland at Wembley. The 31-year-old Londoner is the only Englishman to win Golden Boots at the World Cup and European Championship and has won three of those trophies in the Premier League with Tottenham and the Bundesliga’s equivalent with Bayern Munich last season. His tally includes just eight goals in friendlies, which draws a healthy comparison to the 22 goals that Bobby Charlton scored in similar matches and…
