PARENTS have hit out at a Euro 2024 sticker album 'rip-off' in which children are being asked to pay hundreds of pounds of pocket money to complete collections from which England stars are missing, with uncapped players included to fill out pages. A dirty war between sticker companies has seen Panini ? who have lost the deal to publish UEFA's Euros album ? block American-owned rival Topps from printing stickers of stars such as Phil Foden, Bukayo Saka, and John Stones in the official UEFA album. But that has led Topps to bulk out the England pages of their own album with uncapped players like Leicester City full back Luke Thomas and Manchester City's Rico Lewis, who has just one cap.

NOTTINGHAM FOREST are considering legal action against Sky after pundit Gary Neville labelled their controversial statement following defeat at Everton like that of a 'mafia gang'. Greek owner Evangelos Marinakis was furious when his team were denied three penalties during the 2-0 loss at Goodison Park, with VAR Stuart Attwell seemingly choosing not to send referee Anthony Taylor to his pitchside monitor to review any of the decisions. The club then posted on X that they had warned the PGMOL about Attwell being a fan of Luton Town, their relegation rivals. Neville said: 'It's like a mafiagang statement. I mean, honestly, what the hell are they playing at? It's like a petulant child, it's embarrassing. And some of those things they're saying in there, the suggestion of some sort of inferring of cheating because there's an official in VAR in Stockley Park who's a Luton fan, is a scandal, and they will pay for that.'

SAQIB MAHMOOD hopes he can force his way into England's plans for next winter's Ashes ? despite signing a white-ball contract with his county.
