New Daily Sports News Bulletin

Good morning

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

Jo: And I'm Jo. Last night was a big one in Europe, Dave.

AI Dave: Massive. Man United got hammered at Como, four-one.

Jo: Arsenal needed Declan Rice to rescue a point in Munich, and Aston Villa kept their perfect run going. Stay with us.

The headlines

AI Dave: Let's start with United. Como four, Manchester United one, and it could have been worse.

Jo: Nico Paz scored twice, one in the second minute! Be honest, Dave, did you see that coming?

AI Dave: No, I did not. Douvikas and Jacobo Ramón got the others, and Zirkzee scored a consolation in stoppage time.

Jo: That's seven games without a win now. They've got three points from three in the league phase, and Bournemouth on Sunday.

AI Dave: Next, Bayern Munich two, Arsenal two. Bukayo Saka limped off after ten minutes.

Jo: Which is a worry, though nobody's said how bad it is yet. Eberechi Eze came on and put Arsenal ahead.

AI Dave: Then Alphonso Davies equalised, and Harry Kane scored a penalty after the ball hit Jurriën Timber's hand.

Jo: And then Declan Rice, eighty-second minute, set up by sub Viktor Gyökeres. Arsenal are unbeaten with seven points from three. Not bad, is it?

AI Dave: Not bad at all. And Villa beat Viking three-one, nine points from nine.

Jo: Twelve goals in three games! Ross Barkley scored, Emiliano Buendía got a penalty, and Alysson won the penalty and forced an own goal.

AI Dave: And Manchester City visit Villa Park on Saturday lunchtime having won all seven in the league. Can't wait.

Results round-up

AI Dave: Right, the rest of the Champions League. Real Madrid four, Leipzig one.

Jo: Bernardo Silva, Arda Güler, Kylian Mbappé and Yan Diomande for Madrid. Easy night for them.

AI Dave: Lille two, Galatasaray four. Soriba Diaoune got both for Lille, but Victor Osimhen scored for Galatasaray and there was an own goal from Nabil Bentaleb.

Jo: Six goals in that one, and I'm loving it. Then Inter one, Shakhtar nil.

AI Dave: Carlos Augusto got the winner in the seventy-seventh minute, and Alessandro Bastoni was sent off for Inter.

Jo: Club Brugge three, Lens nil. Real Betis one, Feyenoord nil, Isco from the spot.

AI Dave: And the shock of the night, Sporting two, LASK three! Luis Suárez scored twice for Sporting, but it wasn't enough.

Jo: Brutal. Over in League One, Reading one, Leyton Orient nil. Paddy Lane scored in the fifty-second minute.

AI Dave: Nice and tidy. Jo, favourite result of the night?

Jo: Sporting losing after Suárez got two. You can't make it up. What's yours?

AI Dave: Lille and Galatasaray, easy. I'm all in on six-goal thrillers.

The big talking point

AI Dave: Right, talking point. Is Michael Carrick in real trouble at United? Because I think he is.

Jo: Oh, here we go. Why, Dave?

AI Dave: Seven games without a win, then a four-one defeat. Maguire and de Ligt were giving Paz and Douvikas far too much room.

Jo: But come on. Leny Yoro was suspended, Lisandro Martínez was out, and de Ligt was making his first start after a long injury lay-off.

AI Dave: That's an explanation, not an excuse! Am I wrong?

Jo: A bit, yes. And there's a report Benjamin Sesko could be out for up to four months. Who'd be a striker for United right now?

AI Dave: Fair point. So what's your verdict, Jo? Does Bournemouth on Sunday decide it?

Jo: It's a big game, but give him time. I'm not ready to write him off after one night.

AI Dave: I'm going all in on trouble. Let us know who's right!

Jo: It's me. It's always me.

Around the sports

Jo: Darts now, Dave. The European Championship starts today in Dortmund, and your boy Gian van Veen is defending his title.

AI Dave: He's my boy, yes! He played Andrew Gilding in the first round at six tonight, live on ITV4.

Jo: And he's just set the European Tour average record, one hundred and twenty point two four, in Maastricht on Saturday. Can he beat Gilding?

AI Dave: Absolutely. Top prize is a hundred and fifty thousand pounds, so no pressure.

Jo: In rugby, Andy Farrell has named his Ireland squad for the autumn Tests, with Dan Sheehan as captain.

AI Dave: Caelan Doris is still out with knee and foot problems, and Jack Crowley is out too. They start against Argentina at the Aviva on the sixth of November.

Jo: Plenty to debate there. Let us know your thoughts.

On the box today

AI Dave: Big night of European football, and a lot of it is live on HBO Max. At quarter to six, Lech Poznań v Sunderland is on TNT Sports 1.

Jo: At the same time, Jablonec v Brighton is on TNT Sports 2, and Trabzonspor v Hearts is on TNT Sports 3.

AI Dave: Then at eight, Bournemouth v AC Milan is on TNT Sports 1, and Celtic v Celta de Vigo is on TNT Sports 3.

Jo: And Beşiktaş v Crystal Palace is on TNT Sports 2. Right, who've you got, Dave?

AI Dave: Bournemouth! I'm all in. What about you?

Jo: Celtic at home for me, you can't ignore Parkhead. And Brighton to win in Jablonec.

AI Dave: Bold. And tomorrow night it's Ipswich v Forest at eight on Sky Sports Premier League.
