New Daily Sports News Bulletin

Full transcript

Good morning

AI Dave: Good morning! It's Friday the twenty-third of October, and this is the Dave dot Sport Originals Daily Sports News Bulletin. I'm A.I. Dave!

Jo: And I'm Jo, here to stop Dave going all in on the first thing he sees.

AI Dave: Never going to happen! Today: Bournemouth swat aside AC Milan, Palace escape Istanbul with a point, and Celtic's European misery goes on.

Jo: Plus Luke Littler's Netflix challengers are named, and there's a big Friday night coming up. Let's go.

The headlines

AI Dave: Bournemouth three, AC Milan nil at the Vitality! Justin Kluivert and Marcus Tavernier both scored penalties, and Amine Adli added the third.

Jo: And Mike Maignan was sent off after twenty-seven minutes. Dave, be honest, did you see that coming?

AI Dave: Not a chance! I was all in on Milan, I'd got Cissé's hat-trick from last week stuck in my head.

Jo: Of course you were. Marco Rose's side were chasing a third straight Europa League win, and they got it.

AI Dave: Next, Crystal Palace two, Beşiktaş two. Jean-Philippe Mateta made his first start since opening day and scored!

Jo: After a five-nil hammering at Brighton on Sunday, that's a proper response. Yeremy Pino got the other, and Beşiktaş lost Ümit Akdağ to a red card late on. Pierre Sage will take that, won't he?

AI Dave: Definitely. Now the sore one. Celta Vigo two, Celtic one.

Jo: Mika Baur put Celtic ahead, then Javi Rodríguez scored twice in three minutes. Three games, three defeats, no points yet.

Results round-up

AI Dave: Right, the rest of the Europa League. Sunderland one, Lech Poznań one. Timur Tuterov scored after two minutes, Leo Bengtsson levelled on seventy.

Jo: Real Sociedad six, Lillestrøm nil! Sergio Gómez and Luka Sucic both got two, and Orri Óskarsson and Arsen Zakharyan got the others.

AI Dave: Six! Six goals! Jonas Hofmann scored twice in two minutes as Leverkusen won two-nil at OFI.

Jo: Juventus two, Rennes two. Hoffenheim three, Lyon nil. Benfica four, Omonia one.

AI Dave: Dinamo Zagreb two, NEC Nijmegen four, and Dion Beljo scored twice for Zagreb in four minutes. Sturm Graz one, Marseille nil.

Jo: Union Saint-Gilloise four, Hapoel Be'er Sheva nil. AZ four, Ararat-Armenia nil. Ferencváros four, Torreense one. Olympiacos one, Sparta Prague nil.

AI Dave: Conference League now. Getafe two, Lugano five! Albian Ajeti got two. Mad game.

Jo: Brann four, Kauno Žalgiris one, and Noah Holm scored a hat-trick. Panathinaikos five, Kairat one.

AI Dave: Monaco three, Freiburg nil. Twente four, Lincoln Red Imps one, with Wout Weghorst on the scoresheet. Braga two, Gent nil.

Jo: Ajax two, Atalanta nil, both goals in the last four minutes! And Trabzonspor two, Hearts nil.

AI Dave: And Jablonec nil, Brighton nil. Not exactly a classic.

Jo: Brighton made eight changes, Dave. You can't have everything.

The big talking point

AI Dave: Right, Celtic. Martin O'Neill beat Hearts seven-one on Sunday, so he changes only the keeper, Johnstone for Sinisalo. I get it, you don't touch a winning team.

Jo: Oh come on, Dave! They hadn't won in Europe all season. Hearts aren't a Spanish side.

AI Dave: Callum Osmand and Benjamin Nygren got two each. Are you dropping them? Honestly?

Jo: I'm not dropping them, but nine fresh legs on the bench! Rotate a couple. Loyalty is great until it's just stubbornness.

AI Dave: Baur scored, they were in it until Javi Rodríguez's two goals. That's quality, not tiredness!

Jo: You can't say that! Three games, no points. Did that look like a team with sharp legs? Am I wrong?

AI Dave: You're a bit wrong. You're also a bit right.

Jo: I'll take a bit right! Let us know who's right, listeners. Me, obviously.

Around the sports

AI Dave: Darts! The Beat Luke Littler Netflix special has its field. Twenty-four challengers, one leg of five-oh-one each, and the first to beat him wins five hundred and one thousand pounds.

Jo: Fallon Sherrock is the headline name, and she's never faced him over a leg. One leg, Dave. Would you fancy it?

AI Dave: All in! I'd throw a double-one first dart and retire.

Jo: And Littler's in Dortmund tonight against William O'Connor at the European Championship, the one major he hasn't won. Luke Humphries has pulled out with gastroenteritis, so Kim Huybrechts is in.

AI Dave: Boxing now. Canelo against Christian Mbilli in Riyadh on the thirty-first is still on, even after the US told non-emergency staff to leave Saudi Arabia. Saudi officials say it's going ahead.

Jo: Right now it's on, but it looks fragile. And Fury against Joshua in Cardiff is on the eleventh of December, with Joshua talking about embracing the pressure.

AI Dave: Rugby: Louis Rees-Zammit is in Steve Tandy's Wales squad for the Nations Championship. England name their squad on Sunday.

Jo: Tonight the Lions play Edinburgh, a week after the death of Hyron Andrews. The Hive crowd will stand and applaud in the fifth minute, because he wore number five. That'll be emotional.

On the box today

Jo: Big Friday night. Ipswich host Nottingham Forest in the Premier League at eight, live on Sky Sports Premier League, Sky Sports Main Event and NOW.

AI Dave: Ipswich will be without Sasa Lukic, but Forest have Morgan Gibbs-White back. Oliver Glasner says they need to make adjustments.

Jo: Also at eight, Bolton against Middlesbrough in the Championship on Sky Sports Football, Sky Sports Plus and NOW. And Gateshead against Tamworth is on DAZN at quarter to eight.

AI Dave: Go on then, who've you got at Portman Road?

Jo: Forest are bottom-ish, they need a win, and Liam Delap's due one. I'll say Forest.

AI Dave: I'm going Ipswich, all in! Home crowd, Friday night.

Jo: You're all in on everything, Dave. That's not a prediction, that's a personality.

Sign-off

AI Dave: That's the show! Everything we talked about is on dave dot sport, and if there's football tonight, the A.I. Live Football Studio has the live scores.

Jo: Enjoy your Friday, and tell us who's right about Celtic. Bye!

AI Dave: See you tomorrow, folks. Bye!
