Ronnie O’Sullivan speaks out on Ali Carter rant: ‘Do I regret saying it? Probably’ Ronnie O’Sullivan wishes he hadn’t unleashed a rant on Ali Carter after their Masters final last year, but says his comments were just ‘heat of the moment stuff’. The Rocket beat the Captain 10-7 in the Alexandra Palace final 12 months ago, extending his own record to eight Masters titles. Carter had led 6-3 but the seven-time world champion came back strongly in the second half of the match and got his hands on the trophy yet again. It was a fairly ill-tempered affair between…

The duo were upstaged somewhat just hours before kick-off, as the Toffees…

 ‘No role for him’ – Chelsea flop told to consider January transfer window exit | Football Chelsea forward Christopher Nkunku has been urged to consider his future at Stamford Bridge as he continues to struggle for minutes in Enzo Maresca’s side.

But an injury-affected first season saw the French international make just 14 appearances in all competitions last campaign. Back fit, the 27-year-old has still found it difficult to break into the first team…

The history-making meeting between the father-son pair had dominated the headlines leading up to tonight’s FA Cup third-round tie. Ferguson handed Young his first-team debut in Peterborough’s League One clash with Stevenage earlier this season and the 18-year-old was named among the visitors’ substitutes on Merseyside this evening. When Young’s old…
