Co-host · Director & Producer
Jo directs and produces the Dave.Sport Originals Daily Sports News Bulletin and co-hosts it every morning alongside AI Dave. A lifelong football fan and, for her sins, a West Ham supporter, she's a regular with the Hammers home and away, and swaps the Premier League for non-league football at Chatham Town whenever she can.
Jo signs off every bulletin. On air, her voice is an AI clone of her own, used with her permission.
AI Dave: Morning, everybody! It's Friday the sixteenth of October, this is the Dave dot Sport Originals Daily Sports News Bulletin, and I'm A.I. Dave.
Jo: And I'm Jo. Dave, you look very awake for a man who was up watching European football until gone ten.
AI Dave: All in, Jo. Always all in! Big stories today: Sunderland pull off a last-gasp comeback in Portugal.
Jo: Crystal Palace come up just short in Lyon, and Brighton and Bournemouth both cruise on European nights. Let's go.
AI Dave: Let's start with Sunderland, because wow. They were 1-0 down at Torreense, and Noah Sadiki won it with a volley in stoppage time. Two wins from two in the Europa League.
Jo: Granit Xhaka was the story for me. He came off the bench with three other subs when they were behind, and he set up Sadiki's winner.
AI Dave: Jules Ahoka headed the equaliser too. Be honest, did you think they'd get it?
Jo: Not a chance, Dave! Twenty-two shots to three, and I still thought it wasn't their night.
AI Dave: Now the sore one. Crystal Palace lost 3-2 at Lyon, on Pierre Sage's return to his old club. They were two down by half-time.
Jo: Yeremy Pino pulled one back, Pavel Šulc made it three, and then Daichi Kamada got another late on. It was a proper fightback, but it just fell short.
AI Dave: First Europa League defeat for them. Fair?
Jo: Fair, but the start killed them. Behind after eight minutes is a nightmare.
AI Dave: Then Bournemouth beat Sturm Graz 3-0 for their first home European night. That's six points from two games.
Jo: And Brighton stuck four past Kauno Žalgiris. Georginio Rutter got two. Hürzeler wanted ruthless, and he got ruthless!
AI Dave: Right, the results. Europa League first. Benfica four, Celtic one. Jhon Durán scored twice, and Celtic have no points from two games.
Jo: Ouch. Camilo Durán got their goal, but Vangelis Pavlidis made it four late on. Lyon three, Crystal Palace two, as we said.
AI Dave: Bayer Leverkusen won four-nil at Lech Poznań, and Patrik Schick scored two penalties. Two penalties in the first half!
Jo: Salzburg nil, AC Milan four. Alphadjo Cissè scored a hat-trick, and Gonçalo Ramos got the other. Six goals in my head, Dave, but no, it was four.
AI Dave: Juventus won two-one at Celta Vigo, and Randal Kolo Muani got the winner right at the death. Marseille nil, Olympiacos one.
Jo: Beşiktaş beat Hoffenheim three-two, with Hyeon-gyu Oh getting two. Rennes two, OFI one, and Benfica aside, the Polish side Jagiellonia beat Ararat-Armenia three-one.
AI Dave: Quick-fire now. AZ Alkmaar two, Hapoel Be'er Sheva one. Union Saint-Gilloise one, Real Sociedad one. Sparta Praha one, Lillestrøm one.
Jo: Celje nil, Omonia Nicosia three. Dinamo Zagreb one, Anderlecht nil, from a ninetieth-minute penalty. Ferencvárosi two, Viktoria Plzeň one, and NEC Nijmegen one, Levski Sofia one.
AI Dave: Conference League. Brighton four, Kauno Žalgiris nil. Hearts one, Nordsjaelland one, and Hearts will be gutted. Nicklas Røjkjær equalised four minutes from time.
Jo: Josh McPake rolled a good chance wide, too. Hajduk Split two, Ajax one. Lugano three, Crvena Zvezda two, with the winner from the penalty spot late on.
AI Dave: KuPS two, Trabzonspor four. Panathinaikos two, Borac Banja Luka one. FC København three, Sporting Braga nil, with a double from Andreas Cornelius.
Jo: Atalanta three, Pafos one. Freiburg three, Jablonec two. Monaco won two-one at CSKA Sofia, and Gent beat AGF one-nil.
AI Dave: And one from League One. Mansfield one, Oxford United one, and Oxford had two players sent off!
Jo: Peter Kioso and Gatlin O'Donkor. Michael Smith equalised for Mansfield eight minutes from time. What a night for the neutral.
AI Dave: Talking point, and I'm all in on this. Daichi Kamada has to start for Palace at Brighton on Sunday.
Jo: Oh, here we go. Why?
AI Dave: He scored against Forest and again off the bench at Lyon. Two goals in a week! And he keeps popping up in the box.
Jo: But he got the Lyon one as a sub, Dave, with the game stretched. That's a different job.
AI Dave: Come on, Jo. He started that Forest move and then finished it. That's a proper player.
Jo: Fine, he's good. But Ismaïla Sarr had his first start of the season in Lyon. Do you drop him after one game?
AI Dave: Sarr's header was ruled out for handball, that's not on me. Am I wrong, though?
Jo: A little bit wrong. I'd keep it, and let him do it from the bench again.
AI Dave: Fair, you've got a point. But I'm still starting him. Let us know who's right, listeners!
Jo: Rugby league, and the World Cup is under way! Australia beat New Zealand 24-22 in Sydney, and Jack Bostock scored a hat-trick on his Test debut.
AI Dave: A debut hat-trick! The winner came four minutes from time. But New Zealand's Kalyn Ponga could have a suspected fractured arm.
Jo: England start against Tonga in Perth on Saturday. Big weekend for them.
AI Dave: Boxing now. Dubois v Wardley rematch is tomorrow at the O2. Frank Warren says the winner will be in line for the Fury v Joshua winner. That fight's in Cardiff on the eleventh of December.
Jo: Who've you got, then?
AI Dave: Wardley dropped him twice last time and still lost in the eleventh. I'm going Wardley. All in!
Jo: Course you are. Quick darts one: fourteen-year-old Jayden Walker is the youngest ever winner of a senior WDF ranking title. He beat Aaron Turner five-two and finished with a thirteen-darter.
AI Dave: Fourteen! I'm still trying to hit a double at my age. And the Dutch Darts Championship starts today in Maastricht.
AI Dave: Tonight's football. It's Burnley v Wolves in the Championship, eight o'clock, live on Sky Sports Main Event, Sky Sports Football and Sky Sports Plus.
Jo: Who've you got?
AI Dave: Burnley at home, two-one. Don't hold me to it.
Jo: I'm saying a draw, one-one. And in rugby, Gloucester host Bordeaux at Kingsholm in the Champions Cup at eight, live on Premier Sports.
AI Dave: Then Sunday is big. Brighton v Palace and Bournemouth v Sunderland are both at two, and Celtic v Hearts is at three on Sky Sports Football.
Jo: Plenty to look forward to.
AI Dave: That's the show! Head to dave dot sport for everything we've talked about.
Jo: And catch the A.I. Live Football Studio tonight for live scores from Burnley v Wolves.
AI Dave: Have a great Friday, everybody. Bye!
Jo: Bye!
