Fans love ‘humble king’ Josko Gvardiol as £78m Man City star arrives in tiny car with team-mates all in huge motors

FANS have dubbed Josko Gvardiol “humble” after he pulled up to Manchester City training in a Volkswagen.

The Croatian was on the scoresheet in the 1-1 draw with Newcastle on Saturday.

Ahead of the game, City fans waited outside the club’s training ground to get a glimpse of their favourite players.

A video that has gone viral on social media shows the stars driving luxury cars from a Rolls-Royce Phantom to a Lamborghini Aventador.

But £78million signing Gvardiol was instead behind the wheel of Volkswagen Golf R.

Despite the vehicle being worth between £40,000 and £50,000, it is still considerably less than the supercars his team-mates have the keys to.

Gvardiol, who also stopped to give fans an autograph and photo opportunity, has been praised by supporters, with one saying: “My humble king. My kind of car.”

Another added: “If I have to judge a person by their car – Josko Gvardiol elite human being.”

A third commented: “All of them in 6 figure cars except Gvardiol.”

Ruben Dias is seen in a £350,000 Lambo, while John Stones and Ederson drive Rolls-Royce Phantoms valued at the same price.

Angry Man Utd fans say ‘this is unbelievable, he must be sacked for this’ as new angle of Spurs goal shows ace ‘give up’

MANCHESTER UNITED fans have called for Diogo Dalot to be sacked after spotting a new angle of Tottenham’s opening goal.

The Red Devils were thrashed 3-0 by Spurs in front of a glum Old Trafford crowd, leaving Ten Hag’s job on the brink.

Ange Postecoglou‘s side took just three minutes to open the scoring after defender Micky van de Ven produced a stunning 70-yard run to set up Brennan Johnson.

The Dutch star pounced on a loose ball in his own half and surged through United’s midfield with ease, after beating Marcus Rashford‘s meek press.

Van de Ven burst past four United players to reach the byline before squaring a perfect low cross to the back post, where Johnson was on hand to tap into the empty net.

But Johnson was able to stride into the box unchallenged with replays showing Dalot failing do the basics by not following his man.

A new angle has shown Dalot seemingly giving up on the edge of his own box, before sticking his hand up to apologise to his team-mates.

And furious United fans have blasted the Portugal star, with one writing on X: “I can’t believe what I’ve just seen from Dalot.”

A second said: “This is unbelievable, he must be sacked for this.”

While another wrote: “Dalot’s lack of defending here is inexcusable. It’s a disgrace.”

A fourth added: “How can you love a player who won’t do his primary job in the third minute of the game?”

Before another wrote: “He shouldn’t be wearing that jersey.”

One more said: “For someone as fast as Dalot is, this is unbelievable. He can see his man. I can’t get my head around what he’s doing here.”

Johnson immediately went to Van de Ven to thank him for producing one of the greatest assists from a centre-half in Prem history.

Former United full-back Gary Neville said: “Absolutely brilliant. One of the best runs I’ve ever seen from a centre-back.

“De Ligt starts off running too late and misreads the pace of the centre-back. It’s amazing and devastating.”

But ex-United right-back Danny Simpson was equally dumbfounded by Dalot’s lack of desire to get back.

He told MUTV: “I see the cross coming, and for Johnson to have that much space at the back post, I think it’s criminal.

“I think that’s Dalot’s position, I’m not sure whether he was inverted from midfield or at full back, and he needs to recover.”

Dalot has started every game from left-back this season, slotting in with Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia still recovering from injury.

Man Utd ratings vs Tottenham

MANCHESTER UNITED suffered a 3-0 thrashing against Tottenham at Old Trafford.

Captain Bruno Fernandes was sent off in the first half for fouling James Maddison, forcing Erik Ten Hag’s side to play with 10 men against Ange Postecoglou’s team.

After back-to-back draws against Crystal Palace and FC Twente fans hoped United would redeem themselves against Spurs.

However, the match at Old Trafford quickly turned sour. Brennan Johnson scored early and things worsened when Fernandes was sent off allowing Spurs to extend their lead to 3-0.

And here is how SunSports Charlie Wyett rated the Manchester United stars.

Andre Onana – 5

Stood his ground to deliver a good save from Timo Werner who was clean through – no chance for either goal.

Noussair Mazraoui – 5

First in the refs’ book for chopping down Destiny Udogie. Could also have blocked Micky van de Ven for the goal. Just watched Solanke make it 3-0.

Matthijs de Ligt – 4

Shocking first half. Failed to cut out the cross from Micky van de Ven which led to the first goal.

Lisandro Martinez – 5

Switched off for the Spurs goal and was drawn to the ball and Johnson was left unmarked.

Diogo Dalot – 5

Gave the ball away in dangerous areas and struggled against Johnson.

Manuel Ugarte – 5

Suffered a stinker and was lucky to last until the 73rd minute.

Kobbie Mainoo – 5

Not one of his better performances and was taken off just before half-time following Fernandes’ sending-off.

Marcus Rashford – 5

Over-ran the ball for Tottenham’s first. Way off the pace.

Bruno Fernandes – 4

Arguably the worst captain in United’s history. Deserved red card for his challenge on James Maddison.

Alejandro Garnacho – 6

Had United’s only chance in the first half but hit the outside of the post. Improved in the second half.

Joshua Zirkzee – 5

Looked completely lost up front – threatening to be another poor Erik ten Hag signing. Replaced at half-time.

Subs:

Mount (for Mainoo 45)  5, Casemiro (for Zirkzee 46) 7, Hojlund (for Rashford 73) 5, Eriksen (for Ugarte 73) 5.

Major mobile providers promise not to hike bill prices for some customers ahead of proposed mega merger

TWO major mobile phone providers have promised not to push up monthly bills for millions of customers ahead of their proposed merger.

Three and Vodafone have said that they will maintain certain social tariffs at £10 or less for two years from the date that their merger is complete.

These tariffs include some customers on the SMARTY name and social tariffs on both the SMARTY and VOXI For Now brands.

SMARTY is currently owned by Three, while VOXI is a Vodafone brand.

Both companies have not confirmed whether the price of their main tariffs will change as a result of the merger.

Social tariffs are cheaper broadband and phone packages for people who claim Universal Credit, Pension Credit and some other benefits.

They are provided in the same way as normal packages, just at a lower price.

The companies will also keep measures to protect customers who are registered as vulnerable.

Three and Vodafone announced their £15billion union last year, which will bring 27million customers together under one network.

If the deal goes ahead, it would create the largest mobile network in the UK.

But last week the competition watchdog issued a warning that the deal could have a negative impact on customers.

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) flagged a number of concerns about the merger, which included fears that it could push up prices for customers.

It also launched an in-depth investigation into the merger in April over fears that it could “result in a substantial lessening of competition”.

This could mean that there are fewer providers to choose from, forcing customers to settle for more expensive deals than the ones they had previously.

The CMA also said that it had “concerns that higher bills or reduced services would negatively affect those customers least able to afford mobile services as well”.

Three and Vodafone have said the deal would help to improve network quality and provide faster 5G.

The latest promise not to hike bills has been put forward to ease the CMA’s concerns.

Both firms have said that they will continue to work with the regulator and the merger can only go ahead with its final approval.

What social tariffs are currently on offer?

The SMARTY social tariff is a low-cost unlimited plan and is available for new and existing customers who are on certain benefits.

It is offered as a one month rolling plan, which can be cancelled at any time.

Once accepted, you can keep the plan for as long as you are eligible.

For £12 customers can make unlimited UK calls and texts, 5G at no extra cost and EU Roaming up to 12GB.

How to save on your mobile phone bill

NOT happy with your current mobile phone deal?

If you’re outside the minimum term of your contract then you won’t need to pay a cancellation fee – and you might be able to find a cheaper deal elsewhere.

But don’t just switch contracts because the price is cheaper than what you’re currently paying.

Take a look at how many minutes and texts, as well as how much data you’re using, to find out which deal is best for you.

For example, if you’re a heavy internet user it’s worth finding a deal that accommodates this so you don’t end up spending extra on bundles or add-ons each month.

Also note that if you’re still in your contract period, you might be charged an exit fee.

Ready to look elsewhere? Pay-as-you-go deals are better for people who don’t regularly use their phone, while monthly contracts usually work out cheaper for those who do.

It’s worth using comparison websites, such as MoneySupermarket and uSwitch.com, to compare tariffs and phone prices.

Billmonitor also matches buyers to the best pay-monthly deal based on their previous three months of bills.

It only works if you’re a customer of EE, O2, Three, Vodafone or Tesco Mobile and you’ll need to log in with your online account details.

There’s also MobilePhoneChecker, which has a bill monitoring feature that recommends a tariff based on your monthly usage.

If you’re happy with your provider then it might be worth using your research to haggle a better deal.

There are fast eligibility checks and no credit checks.

To apply contact SMARTY and complete its short form.

These details will then be shared with the Department for Work and Pensions to confirm that you are in receipt of the eligible benefits.

The VOXI For Now is another tariff available to those receiving financial support.

If you are receiving government benefits then you can get unlimited data, calls and texts for £10 a month.

If you are eligible you will get the deal for six months.

After this point you will be switched to the standard £10 a month plan but you will still have access to unlimited social media, calls and texts.

There is no contract so you can change, pause or cancel the deal at any time.

To be eligible you must be receiving a benefit such as Jobseeker’s allowance, Universal Credit, Employment and Support Allowance, Disability allowance or Personal independence payment.

VOXI will run a quick eligibility check to make sure that you qualify before you are granted the deal.

The company has partnered with Moneyhub to run the security checks and confirm that you do receive government benefits.

The process is simple and Moneyhub will check your bank account for government benefits and will then advise VOXI if you qualify for the tariff.

Other providers such as EE and Vodafone also offer social tariffs.

You can find a full list of providers and rules on the Ofcom website.

Help if you are struggling to pay your bill

If you are struggling to pay your mobile phone bill or you owe your provider money then there are things you can do.

You may be able to switch providers or move to a different contract to get a cheaper deal.

Or if you provider has told you they’re increasing the price of your contract then you may be able to cancel.

Some providers will give you 30 days to cancel your contract without a fee if the price is going up.

Always tell your provider if you are struggling to pay so they can tell you about any support they have on offer.

Most providers will charge you a fee to leave your contract before it ends.

However, some providers will let you leave early without paying a fee if you are struggling to keep up with your payments.

Final day for some Sky customers to save their TV subscription before it’s automatically cancelled

SOME Sky boxes are at risk of being locked from all channels in a matter of hours as part of a big upgrade plan.

Sky is automatically cancelling affected subscriptions from tomorrow (October 1).

The move affects some older Sky boxes

BBC has already closed its SD satellite channels[/caption]

Fortunately, the vast majority of viewers should be unaffected by the move.

But anyone with a very old Sky box may be impacted unless they upgrade to Sky Q now.

The broadcasting giant is offering Sky Q at no extra cost.

It’s all come about because Sky is ending SD (standard definition) broadcasts of its channels on satellite.

Instead, all its channels will be at least HD only.

A number of other big names have already done the same, including the BBC earlier this year.

And ITV is set to conclude its SD switch off on satellite this week too.

The changes don’t affect other services like Freeview and Virgin Media.

Sky has been urging people to check their account and upgrade for weeks.

“We’re changing how we deliver our TV services,” the company says.

“To keep your Sky TV services you’ll need to upgrade to a HD compatible box before your payment due date in October.”

The models that will no longer work include:

Digibox

  • 4F01 to 4F08 (Amstrad)
  • 4E01 to 4E05 (Grundig)
  • 9F01 to 9F08 and 9F0A (Pace)
  • 0F01 to 0F05 (Panasonic)
  • 4E06 to 4E08 (Thomson)

Sky+

  • 4F2001 to 4F2006 (Amstrad)
  • 4F2101 to 4F2118 and 9F2101 to 9F2137 (Amstrad or Pace)
  • 9F2001 to 9F2024, PVR2, 9F2201 to 9F2235, 9F2301 to 9F2339 (Pace)
  • 4E2101 to 4E2141 (Thomson)

If you’re unsure what model you own, you can check by doing the following:

  • Press Services on your Sky remote
  • Then tap the 4 key, followed by 5
  • Here you’ll see the version number
  • Check if it matches any listed above

Act now or miss out

Analysis by Jamie Harris, Assistant Technology and Science Editor at The Sun

Most people will be unaffected by this move but for those who are, you risk losing access to all channels unless you act now.

Broadcasters are finally doing away with the old SD channels and moving to a HD world.

Those who aren’t watching via HD are missing out on a far superior experience.

You might be wondering why Sky and others would bother.

Well, all broadcasts cost money to operate and continuing with SD channels when audience numbers are falling isn’t worth it.
