Watch Micah Richards’ hilarious reaction after Arsenal hero David Raya reveals favourite CBS pundit in awkward interview

MICAH RICHARDS celebrated a big win in the Champions League… with the help of Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya.

Richards, who never made it past the last-16 of Europe’s elite club competition, was appearing on CBS Sports alongside Jamie Carragher, Thierry Henry and newly-married presenter Kate Scott – formerly Abdo.

Following Arsenal‘s game against Atalanta, which ended in a 0-0 draw thanks to a stunning double save from Raya which included a save from the penalty spot, the Spaniard appeared on the show.

During the interview, former Manchester City star Richards asked Raya who his favourite member of the CBS crew was.

In reply, Raya said: “Oh you put me right on the spot there.

“I like you all, but for me I think Micah takes it, he’s quite funny.”

This sparked a jubilant celebration from the 36-year-old, who then proceeded to get up before running over to the screen where Raya was and “hugging” and “kissing” him.

Richards also shouted “I love you”, towards the goalkeeper.

Fans loved Richards’ reaction, with one saying: “Who doesn’t love Big Meeks.”

A second said: “Big meeks all the way.”

A third added: “l love this guy.”

Another said: “You gotta love micah… He’s so lively.”

Arsenal ratings vs Atalanta as Raya saves uninspiring Gunners in Italy

ARSENAL had some David Raya heroics to thank for a points in the Champions League opener.

Raya’s stunning double save just after the break spared Thomas Partey’s blushes after the midfielder gave away a penalty.

And that was the closest either side came to a goal in the 0-0 draw.

Here’s how SunSport’s Joshua Jones rated Mikel Arteta’s men…

David Raya – 9

Produced a simply stunning double save to stop Mateo Retegui’s penalty and then flung himself across to push away the follow-up rebound header – even better than his effort to deny Ollie Watkins.

Robbie Savage labelled it the “best save I’ve ever seen” while Gunners fans lauded their Spanish hero, who has conceded just once in five games so far this term.

Ben White – 7

Given the daunting task of trying to keep Ademola Lookman quiet inside a rocking Gewiss Stadium but completed the job with his classic relaxed, languid demeanour.

William Saliba – 8

One of the world’s top centre-backs but did not need to be anywhere near his best – solid enough when called upon, including excellent late sliding tackle in own box.

Retegui showed great movement but Saliba will have far sterner tests this season, none more so than up against Erling Haaland on Sunday.

Gabriel Magalhaes – 7

Like his partner Saliba, Gabriel helped ensure the Arsenal defence came out on top.

Starting to run out of words to say about this pair who just concede so few chances.

Jurrien Timber – 7

Adds an extra dimension to this Arsenal side – showing just how much he was missed when sidelined last season.

Arguably had the easiest evening’s work of the four defenders.

Thomas Partey – 4

Martin Keown described the Gunners’ retraction en masse during the transition as Arteta putting up his own “Thames Barrier”.

But Partey nearly allowed the floodgates to open by giving away the penalty three minutes into the second half – only to be rescued by Raya’s heroics.

Declan Rice – 6

Top awareness to sniff out the Atalanta danger and help control midfield.

But squandered a great chance to drive Arsenal forward when he won the ball on the halfway line and could have launched a potent counter.

Kai Havertz – 6

With Jesus starting up front, Havertz dropped into a deeper role – but he is perfectly comfortable there, too, and can carry the ball forwards.

Little to show for his evening, though, but continued to put a shift in defensively until the final whistle.

Buakyo Saka – 6

Drew the foul from Ederson who collected an early yellow and from the resulting free-kick almost squeezed a low effort into bottom corner but for top save.

Given a breather for final 20 minutes with an eye on Sunday.

Gabriel Jesus – 5

Captain on the night was his typical busy self early on getting himself around but virtually all of his involvement was outside the Atalanta penalty area.

Withdrawn before the hour mark.

Gabriel Martinelli – 4

Struggled to get in the game and then when he did get in, squandered a really good chance when he blazed over.

Definitely not hitting top form so far this season and may well find himself among the subs against Manchester City.

I’ve been a vet for 10 years & here’s the dog breeds I wouldn’t own – including the little devil pooch that is so sassy

A VET has revealed the ten dog breeds she would never own, including the small pooch that’s stubborn and sassy.

Saddy Baddy, a woman who has worked as a vet for 10 years, shared her thoughts on all breeds from the American Akita to the Dalmatian, and explained why she would never get a Pomeranian or a Basset Hound.

A senior Golden Retriever lays on an examination table as a veterinarian preforms a routine check-up.  The vet is wearing blue scrubs and has a jar of treats close by to reward his obedience.

According to this animal lover, Dalmatians are ‘not very social with those outside of their family’[/caption]

Posting on social media, the vet highlighted the breeds that are prone to health issues, as well as the dogs that need a lot of training and socialisation.

Sharing her candid thoughts, the vet said: “Dog breeds I LOVE but wouldn’t own as a Vet Professional of 10 years.” 

She explained: “These are MY personal opinions based on MY personal experiences after working in the field for a decade. 

“Everyone is entitled to their own opinions based on their own experiences. All dogs are good dogs in their own unique ways.”

First of all, the vet explained that she wouldn’t own an American Akita, as they need lots of early training and socialisation and are prone to same sex aggression with other animals.

Not only this, but she described such dogs as ‘fearsome’ and ‘protective of their people’ and claimed that they can be ‘very powerful’. 

When it comes to Dachshunds, the animal lover claimed that she wouldn’t ever own one as a result of their ‘skeletal structures’ which she claimed ‘basically guarantees orthopaedic issues’.

As well as this, she described this breed as ‘stubborn and sassy’ and suggested that they can be ‘little devils when it comes to grooming’.

Where Belgian Tervurens are concerned, the vet explained that they are known to be ‘possessive’ of their people and need lots of daily challenges to keep their mental and physical needs satisfied.

Not only this, but they are also prone to hip and elbow malformation and epilepsy.

In addition to this, the animal expert explained that she wouldn’t own a Dalmatian, as she explained that whilst they have ‘lots of energy’, they are ‘not very social with those outside of their family’. 

As well as this, she claimed that they can be ‘territorial’ and are also prone to getting bladder stones, blindness and deafness. 

The vet continued and explained that she also wouldn’t own a Basset Hound, because they are very prone to ear infections and skin issues and can be ‘stubborn’.

Most popular dog breeds in the UK

Dog experts, Tug-E-Nuff, surveyed the UK to find out their favourite dog breeds, here's the top ten.

  1. Labrador Retriever 
  2. Border Collie 
  3. English Cocker Spaniel 
  4. Cockapoo 
  5. Golden Retriever 
  6. German Shepherd Dog  
  7. Staffordshire Bull Terrier  
  8. Springer Spaniel
  9. Jack Russell Terrier
  10. Labradoodle

She then got candid on Bernese Mountain Dogs and claimed that whilst they are ‘lovable’, there’s ‘not much going on in the brain department’.

She claimed that they are strong dogs, but they often suffer from separation anxiety and can have a lot of health issues. 

Additionally, the vet claimed that Alaskan Malamutes are an extremely ‘vocal’ breed and whilst they are powerful, they can have very independent natures, and as a result, she wouldn’t own one.

When it comes to Pomeranians, whilst they might be adorable, this vet recognised that they  need regular professional grooming and have a high pitched yap.

Dog Owner Guide: All You Need To Know

Owning and keeping a dog happy and healthy is not only a long-term financial, but a lifetime commitment.

She claimed that they are also prone to trachea collapse and will likely lose half their teeth by age of just five.

Not only this, but the vet also revealed that she wouldn’t own a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever, as they have an ‘insane’ amount of energy, as well as anxiety and health issues including thyroid, cardiac and liver shunt. 

Finally, the vet shared that she wouldn’t get a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, as they are prone to heart and eye issues and need a lot of coat maintenance.

DOG LOVERS REACT

The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @saddy542020, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly amassed 45,200 views. 

Many dog lovers were divided by the vet’s claims and were keen to share their thoughts in the comments.

One person said: “Nooo I love my Basset Hound.”

Another added: “I had 3 Dachshunds – they made it to 13, 15, and 19 with no severe back issues. One slipped a disk but it fixed itself with time and rest.” 

A third commented: “Cavvies are worth all of it!” 

Whilst someone else wrote: “I have an Akita mix….that breed is not for everyone.”

Hope Stape’s drugs secret exposed in Coronation Street

HOPE Stape’s drugs secret is set to be exposed in upcoming scenes on Coronation Street.

A huge celebration is set to take place on the ITV serial drama, but will it be ruined.

Tyrone (Alan Halsall) previously caught his daughter sneaking out the house after Cassie Plummer (Claire Sweeney) made a shock finding.

But things are about to get a whole lot worse for the household with Hope’s (Isabella Flanagan) antics.

However, an unsuspecting Fiz (Jennie McAlpine) is getting ready to celebrate her exciting 40th birthday with her family.

She has booked to go to the bistro for a lovely meal with her husband Tyrone on Coronation Street.

However, the mechanic will then receive a text from Hope’s school, as the teachers have made a shocking discovery.

Hope has a secret vaping habit and it’s about to come to the forefront of the long-running soap.

The question is, how will Fiz and Tyrone initially react and deal with the situation?

They will decide to try and talk some sense into their daughter over the dangers of the drug.

As they lecture Hope on the harmful effects of vaping, it seems she has other ideas.

She is just not interested in listening to her parents and she will then decide to take desperate measures to get her hands on a new stash.

The troubled teenager will try to steal some vapes from the corner shop to fulfill her nicotine cravings.

However, just as she’s leaving Dev’s outlet, she will knock some of the vapes off the shelf.

Aadi (Adam Hussain) cannot help but notice the vapes that lie on the floor and his interest will be piqued from there.

Has Hope been caught yet again?

Amelia Spencer’s dark secret with Tom King exposed in Emmerdale

AMELIA Spencer has been hiding a dark secret about Tom King in Emmerdale, but it is set to be exposed next week. 

It was revealed earlier this month that Amelia (Daisy Campbell) is romantically involved with Tom King (James Chase) and that they’d been keeping their affair secret for weeks.

And she’s set to help him make his return to the Dales[/caption]

Amelia has been at the centre of drama in Emmerdale in recent weeks as her baby daddy Samson Dingle (Sam Hall) was sent to prison. The teen mum also broke up with her boyfriend Noah (Jack Downham) before announcing her new relationship with the villainous vet. 

Over recent months, ITV viewers have watched as Tom has relentlessly bullied and abused his wife Belle Dingle (Eden Taylor-Draper), which culminated in the calculated attack on her beloved dog Piper

Eventually Belle worked up the strength to leave her husband but he continued to manipulate her and keep tabs on her with hidden cameras. 

When Tom went missing last week Belle hoped the ordeal was over, but it seems he’s not that far away. 

After some digging, Amy (Elle Mulvaney) and Kerry (Laura Norton) both suspect that Amelia must still be in contact with Tom. 

And that’s not all, as a dark secret about 18-year-old Amelia will be revealed next week – it seems she’s taken Tom’s side against Belle as the two make a plan together.

In scenes airing next week, Amelia will seek out Belle to talk about Tom, but the situation will take a terrifying turn. 

After discovering the camera Tom hid in Dale Head, Belle considers reporting Tom to the police but she is afraid of having to relive everything she’s been through. 

Having reflected, Belle asks Lydia Dingle (Karen Blick) to share her experience reporting rapist Craig Reed (Ben Addis) to the police.

Whilst Belle’s left thoughtful, Lydia’s upset after bringing the memories back to life, but hopes it has aided Belle.

That evening, the pair reflect on their difficult day as they gaze over the Dingle land.

United in their support for each other, Lydia hopes she’s said enough to encourage Belle to go to the police.

As she ponders what to do, it seems that Amelia has revised her opinion of Tom and may offer some additional information before she makes her choice. 

The teen reaches out to Belle in the hope of meeting privately to talk about him.

But Amelia can’t be trusted in this regard as she is now under Tom’s influence.

Darkest soap storylines

Over the years the likes of EastEndersEmmerdale and Coronation Street have all tried to try outdo each other with their outlandish plots in a bid to keep us tuning in each week. But here are some of the darkest that had fans in shock…

  • EastEnders: Tony grooming Whitney (2008-2009) – Tony King first appeared in Albert Square in 2008 as the boyfriend of Bianca, played by Patsy Palmer. But it was quickly revealed he was a paedophile who had been grooming vulnerable Whitney, Bianca’s adopted stepdaughter from a previous relationship, since she was 12. The shocking storyline attracted more than 200 complaints within a week of it beginning. Whitney waited until her 16th birthday to reveal the truth to a horrified Bianca, who called the police.
  • Emmerdale: Holly’s drug addiction and shock death (2010-2016) – In 2010, Holly Barton (played by Sophie Powles) became Emmerdale’s first teenage drug addict. The shocking storyline saw her taking cocaine on a night out before developing a deadly heroin habit. Parents John and Moira desperately tried to help get their daughter clean but when Holly returned in 2016, following a four-year absence, she quickly relapsed. Fans were left stunned and heartbroken when distraught Moira found Holly dead in her bed from a heroin overdose.
  • Hollyoaks: Luke’s rape (2000) – Actor Gary Lucy was just 17 when he took on this groundbreaking storyline, which saw his character Luke Morgan become soap’s first male rape victim. Luke had endured a long-running bullying campaign by football rival Mark Gibbs – who raped him after Luke stood up to him. Luke was left suicidal following the brutal attack, before opening up to his brother Adam. Gibbs was sentenced to eight years in prison. Gary won the Best Actor gong at the British Soap Awards in 2000 for his performance.
  • Coronation Street: Evil Richard Hillman (2001-2003) – Just a mere mention of ‘Richard Hillman’ is enough to send a shiver down the spines of soap fans. He is often ranked one of the most evil soap villains and it’s not hard to see why. The smooth-talking financial adviser bashed his ex-wife Patricia over the head with a shovel. In a bid to keep his mother-in-law Audrey quiet, he set fire to her house. And when Maxine caught him trying to murder Emily Bishop, he took a crowbar to her head. He made his exit from the cobbles in 2003 when he drove Gail Platt, played by Helen Worth, and her family into the canal. They survived, but he didn’t.
  • Alone at the Dingle’s, Belle waits for Amelia but is horror-struck when Tom lets himself in, blocks her exit and proceeds to lock the doors.

    Will Belle be able to escape from Tom once more?

    EastEnders favourites rally behind innocent Sonia Fowler as Reiss Colwell gets shock news

    POOR Sonia has been locked up on suspicion of murdering Reiss’s wife Debbie Colwell, but EastEnders locals are going to show their allegiances as they rally around her.

    The woman was shocked when she got clapped in handcuffs by cops at her engagement party.

    Reiss is now coming under suspicion as Sonia’s sister begins to suspect he is the real killer[/caption]

    What she didn’t realise is Reiss had smothered his comatose wife to make money off Debbie’s life insurance.

    Sadly, because Sonia had kindly come to fluff up Debbie’s pillow shortly before her death and left fingerprints behind, she got framed for the murder.

    Initially Walford residents did suspect that Sonia had done the deed to make sure Reiss was in a position to marry her.

    However, upcoming episodes are going to see them change their mind and become supportive.

    The tide began to turn when Kim Fox publicly backed Sonia, insisting on her innocence.

    Alfie Moon then went on to make a box of T-shirts emblazoned with the slogan ‘Save Our Sonia’.

    Now the Mitchells will throw their weight behind the nurse as well, creating a fundraiser in support of her.

    Sonia’s half-sister Bianca has been taking the accusations against her family member very seriously and skips a GP appointment to attend the event at Mitchell’s Autos.

    Besides offering her support financially, Bianca also starts publicly accusing Reiss of being the killer.

    When he is banned from attending Debbie’s funeral, a sympathetic Martin decides to host a wake at The Vic so Reiss can pay his respects to his dead wife.

    But when he starts to read out his eulogy for the woman he murdered, Bianca bursts into the pub, demanding answers.

    She tries interrogating him, and when that doesn’t work, she goes on to try a new tactic.

    Will Bianca be able to get a confession out of Reiss before it is too late and Sonia gets convicted for a crime she didn’t commit?

    Sonia Fowler’s biggest EastEnders storylines

    Sonia Fowler has featured in EastEnders since 1993, and after starring in thousands of episodes, has been featured in storylines ranging from teenage pregnancy to a cancer scare. Here are some of her biggest.

    • Teen Pregnancy and Birth of Chloe Jackson (1999-2000)
      Sonia discovered she was pregnant at the age of 15. Viewers were shocked by the sudden birth, as the teen went into labour without even realising she was pregnant. Martin Fowler turned out to be Chloe’s father. Sonia initially decided to give the girl up for adoption.
    • Death of her boyfriend (2002)
      Sonia’s boyfriend, Jamie Mitchell, was hit by a car driven by her baby’s father. Jamie had just bought an engagement ring for his girlfriend before being struck down by the thoughtless Martin, who was texting while driving. Although the Jamie was rushed to hospital, docs said his liver was irreparably damaged, and he ended up dying with Sonia by his side.
    • Marriage to Martin Fowler and Family Tensions (2004-2007)
      In a shock twist Sonia went on to marry the man responsible for her previous boyfriend’s death. Their relationship was marred by conflicts and infidelity, and they went on to split up after just three years. At one point in their marriage Sonia was taken hostage by Sarah Cairns, who became obsessed with Martin after he flirted with her during a drunken night out. The couple went through struggles again when the adoptive parents of their daughter were killed in a car crash, leaving them responsible for Rebecca. Because of the tension in their relationship Sonia ended up cheating on her husband with one of her co-workers, nurse Naomi Julien.
    • Custody Battle for Rebecca (2005-2007)
      Baby Chloe, who was renamed Rebecca, was kidnapped by her mum early in life before being returned to her adoptive parents. After Neil and Sue Miller died they awarded Martin full custody of the child because of Sonia’s extra-marital affair. The mum was left distraught to be cut out of her daughter’s life.
    • Gastric Band Surgery and Weight Struggles (2014-2015)
      Sonia became insecure about her weight and arranged to have a secret gastric band surgery in Bulgaria. She later collapsed at an exercise class after suffering complications from the operation.
    • Discovery of Bex’s Suicide Attempt (2019)
      Sonia’s daughter Rebecca tried to take her own life in a heartbreaking storyline which left viewers in tears. She found Bex unconscious after taking an overdose, and was devastated. Sonia blamed herself for pushing her daughter to breaking point, as she had tried to force her into going to Oxford despite Bex saying she didn’t feel ready for university.

    Man City backed to be relegated by staggering 42 PER CENT of punters after huge court case kicked off

    MANCHESTER CITY have been backed by nearly HALF of punters to be relegated.

    It comes as the court hearing into their alleged breaches of the Premier League’s financial rules nears the end of its first week.

    Almost half of punters have placed bets on Man City to be relegated[/caption]

    Man City are facing between 115 and 130 charges brought against them by league bosses.

    This includes giving false accounts on player wages and sponsorships and failing to assist with the investigation.

    The financial breach charges stretch for nine years from 2009, while charges of withholding information run into 2023.

    The decision for the unprecedented trial is not likely to be known until the Spring.

    But since the hearing began on Monday, punters have placed their bets on what they reckon the outcome will be.

    According to Betfair, a whopping 42 per cent of punters have placed single bets on Man City to be relegated.

    If found guilty, punishments could include a heavy financial penalty, points deductions, being stripped of previous titles and relegation.

    And it has now been revealed that City are at risk of being kicked out of the FA Cup and Carabao Cup too.

    While there is also no certainty that the four-in-a-row Premier League champions would be able to compete in the Champions League and Club World Cup either.

    However, SunSport understands the latter is unlikely despite the rules allowing it to happen.

    Pep Guardiola‘s Man City drew their most recent game 0-0 against Inter Milan in the Champions League.

    They have a 100 per cent winning record in the league so far, but host title rivals Arsenal on Sunday with one team set to lose their unbeaten start to the season.
