Ipswich fan gets Alan Judge tattoo on his bottom after Republic of Ireland midfielder signs Blues contract
An Ipswich fan has got a tattoo of a player’s name on his backside after making a promise on social media.Scott Reay, from Newcastle, promised he would get Alan Judge’s name inked on his rear if the Republic of Ireland international signed permanently for the Blues.

So here's to thank Judgey for signing. Cheers #itfc @10judgey @IpswichTown @ITFC_bible @twtduk pic.twitter.com/zUm0perfH0— Scott 'Antonio' Reay (@SReay8) April 9, 2019

Reay, a sales assistant, claimed he had to stay ‘true to his word’ and simply ‘had to get it done’ after Judge signed the deal with the Tractor Boys until 2021.He said: “He’s such a good player, I thought there would be no chance he’d stay.”While he was having the tattoo done, Reay posted a video to his Twitter, saying: “So here’s to thank Judgey for signing. Cheers.”1After penning the deal with the club, Judge, 30, expressed his gratitude for the support shown by Ipswich fans.He told the East Anglian Times: “Ive always been lucky in that respect. Even at Blackburn, where I didnt play much, I was quite close with the fans. It was the same at Notts County and Brentford.“Im one of those lucky ones that the fans just take to. Ive felt their support here. “I had someone tweet me saying they were going to get my name tattooed on their back-side if I signed. I think Ill give that one a miss!”And Reay said he ‘absolutely loved’ the fact that he signed a new deal even though Ipswich are on course for relegation to League One.He said: “We’ll be straight back up [to the Championship] next season with Judgey, definitely”.Judge has made 11 appearances for Ipswich but is yet to score for the club.

Sam Allardyce believes Phil Jones does not learn from his mistakes and has not fulfilled his potential at Manchester United
Sam Allardyce says Phil Jones has not fulfilled his potential at Manchester United, and says the England defender has not learned from his mistakes.Jones scored a comical own goal as United suffered a 2-1 defeat to Valencia in the Champions League on Wednesday to continue an unwanted strike record.4And Big Sam is disappointed he has never fulfilled the promise he showed during his impressive emergence at Blackburn.Big Sam was in charge at Ewood Park when Jones made his Premier League debut aged 18. He earned huge praise for his performances in a Rovers shirt and after just two seasons in the first-team he was signed by Man United in a 16m deal in 2011.While dogged by persistent injury troubles, he enjoyed early success at Old Trafford, with Sir Alex Ferguson saying Jones – then aged 21 – could go on to be Manchester Uniteds best ever player.4Rewinding to 2013, after guiding United to their 20^th league title, Fergie said:

“Jones, arguably the way he is looking, could be our best ever player. I think Jones may be one of the best players we have ever had, not matter where we play him. At 21 years of age, he is going to be a phenomenal player. I think he can play anywhere on the pitch. He has such a massive influence, with his instinct and reading of the game. He has a drive about him.”

But fast-forward to the present, Jones is now little more than a squad player in the United ranks and has a reputation for calamity.And for good reason – when he put the ball into his own net on Wednesday night, Jones became the first United player to score an own goal in the Champions League since himself, in 2011.His strike record also makes for amusing reading Jones has scored two goals for United and two against them in the Premier League, and has the very same record in the Champions League.4Asked about the 26-year-old on Thursdays Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast, Allardyce said: He made his debut with me against Chelsea, he came on and won man-of-the-match marking Didier Drogba. We drew 1-1.He certainly looked the business at 18 years old.Certainly injuries have hampered him a huge amount, but he should have gone a lot further.Hes playing for one of the biggest clubs in the world, its was obviously a massive move for him.He could have had the choice between Man City, Man United, Liverpool, Arsenal, you name it, all those clubs were in for him but he chose Man United and I thought it was a great choice under Sir Alex.4Sir Alex said to me in his [Jones] early days at United, wow, Sam, Ive got a great player here.But it hasnt quite worked out for him.I think sometimes he hasnt quite learned from his experiences, hes still got that edginess, that diving in type of attitude when he should leave it alone.Im slightly disappointed he hasnt been as big as I expected him to be.I expected him to be in the England side on a regular basis to lead England into European Championships and World Cups on the form he showed at Blackburn when I had him.

"He could have gone to United, City, Arsenal or Chelsea.""I'm disappointed that he hasn't gone on to be has big as I expected him to be."Sam Allardyce says Phil Jones hasn't fulfilled his potential at #MUFC. pic.twitter.com/D14SrfmXwR— talkSPORT (@talkSPORT) December 13, 2018

I always wanted to retire at an age where my body still felt good.“Every player knows when their time is up. Mentally, I always wanted to stop quite young and also you can’t always play the game the way you want to play the game when you’re 34.”Johnson made 54 appearances for England between 2003-2014, playing in two World Cups and a European Championship.3He began his career with West Ham, coming through their academy and making his Premier League debut for the Hammers in January 2003 at the age of 18.Johnson made just 16 first-teamappearances for the Hammers before he was snapped up by London rivals Chelsea for 6million – the first of the Roman Abramovich era.The full-back went on to play 71 times for the Blues, winning the Premier League and League Cup during a four-year spell at Stamford Bridge.Johnson joined Portsmouth in 2007 and played a key role in their FA Cup victory in his debut season at Fratton Park.He was named in the PFA Team of the Year in his second campaign with Pompey and was bought by Liverpool in an 18.5m deal.3In six seasons at Anfield, Johnson made 200 appearances and was part of the Liverpool team which won the League Cup in 2012.The 34-year-old was most recently at Stoke, but left the club in the summer following their relegation from the Premier League.

Gary Rowett: Stoke City sack manager after just eight months in charge
Stoke City have sacked manager Gary Rowett with immediate effect, the Championship club have confirmedRowett was appointed by the bet365 Stadium club last May and leaves after just eight months in charge with Stoke in the bottom half of the second tier table.

Club statement: Gary Rowetthttps://t.co/TLC3vQzZtM#SCFC pic.twitter.com/s6aSabpjG0— Stoke City FC (@stokecity) January 8, 2019

A club statement read: “Stoke City have terminated the contract of manager Gary Rowett.“Members of his immediate coaching staff have also left the bet365 Stadium.“The Club would like to thank Gary and his staff for their efforts over the past eight months.“A new managerial appointment will be made as swiftly as possible but in the meantime Rory Delap, Kevin Russell and Andy Quy will take charge of first-team affairs.” Early contenders to succeed Rowett include David Moyes and Sam Allardyce, who are both reportedly in the running for the position.Rowett was given the task of guiding Stoke back to an immediate return to the Premier League when appointed manager last summer. He was handed a large budget to aid him in his task, and big-money deals were completed for the likes of Tom Ince, Peter Etebo and Sam Clucas.However, the former Derby boss has overseen just nine wins in 29 games in all competitions, and his fate was sealed when Stoke failed to make it past League One Shrewsbury in the FA Cup third round on Saturday; a 1-1 draw means a replay is on the cards, with the victor taking on Wolves in the fourth round.

Rowett's struggles at Stoke

Rowett guided Stoke to just nine wins out of a possible 29 since taking charge of Stoke. His win ratio with the Potters is the lowest recorded throughout his entire managerial career...

• Burton Albion (2012-2014): Win ratio of 44.4 per cent
• Birmingham City (2014-2016): Win ratio of 39.6 per cent
• Derby County (2017-2018): Win ratio of 43.3 per cent
• Stoke City (2018-2019): Win ratio of 31.0 per cent

Supporters have been calling for Rowett’s dismissal over the past couple of months, but he insisted after the draw with Shrewsbury that his squad and coaching staff remained positive despite all the negativity around the club.He said: “When theres all sorts of stories and rumours, and chants from everywhere around the ground, what am I going to do? Sit down with my head in my hands and start crying? Im going to stand on the sideline with my chest out and try and win a game of football.1“You can see the players out there. The likes of Benik Afobe have found it really difficult in recent weeks. Theres a lot of expectation on him and every time he touches the ball he finds theres a lot of pressure from his own fans.“It doesnt help you to perform, but when youre in that scenario youve got to run around and work hard and show that desperation in other ways because thats the only thing that gets you out of it.“We showed we are still fighting in the dressing room. We are still positive, whilst the rest of the world is very negative and we have to get through that.“I wanted to win to silence some critics, to get through to the next round, to show a bit of pride and ultimately we didnt quite get that, but we could have gone under and now we live to fight another day.”

PFA Player of the Year: Raheem Sterling explains why he voted for Harry Kane over Virgil van Dijk
Raheem Sterling has revealed why he voted for Harry Kane to be named as the PFA Player of the Year.Sterling is one of the favourites to pick up the award with 17 goals and nine assists in the Premier League this season.3The Manchester City winger is only behind Virgil van Dijk in the running for the top individual award.The 24-year-old explained why he selected England team-mate Kane over the Liverpool defender.3My vote for him is because he scores so many goals every year, he does so much for the team, gives so much for his team, Sterling said.There was a lot of talk about Virgil van Dijk. I knew he would have a lot of the votes, so I looked at someone I thought being around him in the national team, how he puts in his work, his work ethic, how he looks after himself.Hes always there, especially coming back from injury, as a professional I looked at him and thats my reason for voting for him, seeing him on a day-to-day with the national team.

Kane was not on the six-man shortlist for the award when it was announced last week.Sterling was one of three Manchester City players, alongside Bernardo Silva and Sergio Aguero, while Liverpool were represented by Virgil van Dijk and Sadio Mane.Chelsea forward Eden Hazard rounded off the shortlist.City and Liverpool are locked in a battle for the Premier League title with the season entering its final stage.3Sterling was pleased to be on the shortlist but would rather win the league and FA Cup.Its nice to be recognised on that front but, to be honest, if we dont win the Premier League, I dont really want to be in contention, said Sterling. What I want to do is win the Premier League, win the FA Cup, then think about stuff like that, even though the awards are before that.Without that, it doesnt mean much to me, really.City are two points behind Liverpool with a game in hand. Pep Guardiolas side face Manchester United at Old Trafford on Wednesday with a chance to reclaim top spot.
