Man Utd and Arsenal set to use different FA Cup ball to everyone else this weekend and it will leave Arteta seething
ARSENAL and Manchester United will use a DIFFERENT ball to their FA Cup rivals this weekend.
Gunners boss Mikel Arteta kicked up a fuss about the ball used in his side’s Carabao Cup semi-final first-leg defeat to Newcastle on Tuesday.
And the Spaniard could be irked by the ball his troops are set to use in their third round clash with United on Saturday afternoon.
Competition ball supplier Mitre have announced the game will be played with special matchday balls to pay homage to the visitors, who are the current FA Cup holders.
Their special FA Cup Ultimax Pro Winners ball will be in use at the Emirates.
But the rest of the FA Cup third-round ties will be played with a DIFFERENT ball.
Arteta will no doubt be vocal about the special edition ball should it be at the centre of any controversy, of which there has been plenty with United over the years.
Speaking after the North Londoners’ 2-0 midweek defeat to Newcastle, he said: “We also kicked a lot of balls over the bar.
“And it’s tricky that these balls fly a lot so there’s details that we can do better.
“But at the end that’s gone, there’s no way back it’s about the next game and that’s our world, the reality is our world.

“It’s just different. Very different to a Premier League ball, and you have to adapt to that because it flies different.
“When you touch it the grip is very different as well so you adapt to that.”
The EFL reacted quickly to Arteta’s comments, with a spokesperson saying: ” As is required throughout the professional game, the PUMA ball used in this season’s Carabao Cup and in EFL competition since 2021/22 is tested in accordance with the FIFA Quality Programme for Footballs, and meets the FIFA Quality Pro standard.
“In addition to the Carabao Cup, the same ball has been successfully used in other major European leagues, including both Serie A and LaLiga and our three divisions in the EFL.
“All Clubs play with the same ball, and we have received no further comments of this nature following any of the previous 88 fixtures which have taken place in this season’s Carabao Cup.”
Is Pete Wicks related to Joe Wicks?
FORMER Towie star Pete Wicks and Joe Wicks share similar physical features and happen to have the same last name.
And as Joe gears himself up to be the latest investor on BBC’s Dragons’ Den, fans are wondering if the two long-haired TV stars are related. Here’s everything you need to know.
Is Pete Wicks related to Joe Wicks?
Despite online speculation, Pete Wicks and Joe Wicks are not related.
They share the same last name, but they are not known to be related to each other.
Pete is a reality TV personality known for his appearances on The Only Way Is Essex, while Joe is a fitness coach, author, and television presenter.
They come from different backgrounds and are not reported to have any family connections.
Does Pete Wicks have any siblings?
It is not known if Pete has any siblings, but he has a strong relationship with his mum, Tracy.
His parents split when he was 11.
In 2022, Pete opened up and revealed on Channel 4’s Celebs Go Dating, that his dad walked out on his mum when he was younger and they have had little contact since.
Pete said: “My dad’s a good man.
“I don’t have a relationship with him.
“My mum and dad split up when I was younger and I understand things are difficult but I wasn’t enough for him to stay.”
He added: “[I’ve felt] Sadness and anger. I was able to keep it under control for years.”
Although not biologically related, Pete often refers to I’m A Celebrity star Sam Thompson as his “brother“.
Their bromance has stood the test of time since the pair met on Celebs Go Dating in 2018 and they now present the podcast Staying Relevant together.
The dynamic duo often leave fans in stitches with their wacky social media skits and polar opposite personalities.
In August 2022, Sam shared a sweet post on Instagram following his 30th birthday after jetting off to Marbella with his girlfriend Zara McDermott and a few of his close friends.
Without Sam’s knowledge, Pete flew out to surprise him.
Reacting to the special moment, Sam penned: ”Two of the most important role models in my life. My dad and my brother. One super posh and the other born in juvie.
”Can’t thank you enough @p_wicks01 for coming out and braving me and my mates for 3 days!
“Honestly made my birthday.”
Pete visited Sam in the jungle during his stint on I’m A Celebrity 2023.
And in August 2024, Sam showed his excitement at Pete’s new TV role.
The pair shared a clip of the moment that Sam found out that Pete will be appearing on Strictly Come Dancing.
Pete gifted him with a bag with a Strictly glitterball inside to hint at what his next TV appearance would be.
Sam jumped up from the sofa and shouted: “NO! You’re doing Strictly!
“He’s doing Strictly! It’s a glitter ball! You’re doing Strictly.”
Sam then jumped on Pete and gave him a hug.
Pete is now set to become a tattooed Paul O’Grady-type presenter in a show that could rival Alison Hammond’s For the Love of Dogs.
The 37-year-old’s new four-parter, Pete Wicks: For Dogs’ Sake, follows him volunteering at Dogs Trust rehoming centres.
As a dedicated dog dad to two French rescue bulldogs – Eric and Peggy – animal lover Pete will host the UKTV show via his own production company as he uses fame as a platform to campaign for animal rights.
It comes after he turned around his image in recent years following the closure of two companies with £1million worth of debt.
His personal firm PW Promotions Ltd went bust in February 2023 in £100k of debt, much of this owed to HMRC and the bank.
Does Joe Wicks have any siblings?
Unlike Pete, Joe has an “incredible” bond with his father, Gary, despite a chaotic childhood with his dad struggling with a heroin addiction.
Joe has two brothers who are called Nikki and George.
He is very close to Nikki as they both share a passion for fitness and well-being.
Nikki is the CEO of Joe’s The Body Coach empire and has a background in consumer and trade magazines and branded content.
He was by Joe’s side when he received his MBE in March 2022.
At the time Joe told his followers that the medal also belonged to his brother, who had helped him build his online fitness empire.
He said: “Nikki is my brother. He’s also my best friend. Every single time I did PE with Joe, he was in my ear. I couldn’t have done it without him.
“We had mornings where we just weren’t in the mood for it but said come on, let’s give them the best workout of their lives.
“Together we just managed, just through Nikki’s voice in my ear and his energy, it really picked us both up. He was kind of like my right-hand man who you couldn’t see.”
George seems to have a completely different interest from his brothers and reportedly works as a tree surgeon in Thailand.
Previously speaking about George to the Daily Mail, Joe said: “I was ten when my mum had George, and I loved him to pieces.
“I’d run home from school to be with him. He was like my pet! I couldn’t hang out with him enough.”
In August 2024, Joe raised eyebrows when he shared a video on Instagram of him drinking his wife’s breast milk before attending Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour concert.
Now, Joe is officially joining Dragons’ Den as an investor, imparting some of his own good fortune on to others.
As of 2025, he’s built an impressive £55million empire, which includes a £4.4million luxury mansion in Surrey and a sprawling second home in sunny Santa Monica, California.
Speaking about taking part on the show, Joe said: “I can’t wait to step into the Den as a Guest Dragon and meet all the brilliant and passionate entrepreneurs.
“My own journey has shown me that with the right mindset and a lot of hard work, anything is possible.”
Shane Lowry reveals ‘what excites me about TGL’ after opening night and hopes fans enjoyed ‘something different’
PGA Tour star Shane Lowry weighed-in on the opening night of TGL golf after his side sealed a comfortable win during the new golf league’s debut.
The Bay Golf Club defeated Xander Schauffele’s New York Golf club at the SoFi arena in West Palm Beach Gardens on Tuesday night by a score of 9-2.
The Offaly native and teammates Ludvig Åberg and Wyndham Clark made light work of Xander Schauffele, Rickie Fowler and Matt Fitzpatrick.
The golf league was postponed for a year until 2025 after the purpose-built Sofi Arena sustained severe damage as the white roof had fallen through after a storm.
And despite mixed reactions to the opening night from fans on social media, Lowry hopes fans enjoyed the all-new high-tech venture.
The 2019 Open champion took to social media as he praised the rules and format of the Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy league.
TGL combines virtual golf with the real deal as competitors aim their tee and approach shots at a 60 foot screen which mimics whichever course they’re ‘playing’.
A strict 40-second shot clock is enforced for each player, and penalties are applied for exceeding the time limit, encouraging quick decisions and maintaining the match’s tempo.
He said: “Great being part of last night’s @tglgolf launch. From the build out, pace of play, competition and banter with the lads.
“As I start my 17th year on Tour, I love the big weeks and atmosphere playing in front of big crowds.
“That’s what excites me about TGL. Last night was something different and something fun. Hopefully fans enjoyed it. I certainly did.”
A whopping $21 million purse is up for grabs, with a $9 million payout awarded to the winning team at the end of the season.
That $2.25 million for each of the four players on the winning team at the season’s end.

Final snow due as schools brace for day 5 closures in weekend ‘refreeze’ fears with ‘extreme cold’ before 20C temp swing
MET Eireann has warned that temperatures could plunge to a biting -9C tonight as Ireland braces for a final snow and a fifth day of school closures.
A fresh Status Orange weather warning, which kicks in for 15 counties this evening, is expected to be “the last of this memorable cold snap” as the country looks forward to a much-needed thaw over the weekend.
Some schools in the worst-hit areas have also confirmed this afternoon that their doors will remain shut tomorrow due to the “dangerous” conditions in some areas whilst other schools have introduced later opening hours than usual.
The National Emergency Co-ordination Group, which met again this morning to discuss the ongoing response to the cold weather, said that the majority of schools opened as normal this morning.
However, they confirmed that “several counties” affected by the piercing conditions have taken the decision to close schools and halt school transport services due to local conditions and safety concerns.
A NECG spokesperson added: “A decision to close a school is a matter for individual school management authorities around the country, as they are best placed to do this in light of local weather conditions, which vary significantly in regions. Safety remains the foremost priority.”
Met Eireann has hit Carlow, Kildare, Kilkenny, Laois, Longford, Meath, Offaly, Westmeath, Cavan, Monaghan, Galway, Roscommon and Tipperary with a fresh Status Orange low temperature and ice warning.
And just hours later they updated the warning to include counties Donegal and Leitrim.
The 13-hour alert kicks in at 7pm tonight and warns of “extremely cold” conditions with widespread severe frost and ice, along with lying snow in some areas and patches of freezing fog.
The lowest temperatures tonight will reach down to -7C and -9C, with Cathal Nolan from Ireland’s Weather Channel confirming that only coastal fringes of the country will avoid Status Orange level temperatures.
He said that the Midlands, South Ulster and East Connacht are the areas “most at risk” of being hit with polar -9C conditions.
Met Eireann has confirmed that temperatures will creep up over the weekend, with highs of 8C on Saturday and 11C on Sunday – which is a 20C temperature swing after biting -9C conditions tonight.
Sunshine broke out in many areas today and thawed some of the frost and snow but Nolan warned that the thaw will re-freeze again tonight, resulting in more dangerous conditions in the morning.
He explained: “Freezing fog patches will also develop once again across the country, especially across inland areas where visibility may be temporarily reduced to less than 100m.
“Motorists will also have to contend with ice on any untreated road surfaces, especially after some snow and ice will have thawed in the sunshine today and will re freeze after dark.”
The weather boffin also warned that snow over hills is expected to fall after midnight in West Cork and Kerry.
The snow will extend north eastwards over the early hours of Friday morning, with West Limerick, North Cork and East Kerry again seeing some snow as well as the hills in Tipperary temporarily.
Precipitation amounts will be small but an additional 3-5cm of the white stuff are possible, with Nolan explaining: “The snow will only be of concern however above 150 metres where dew point and air temperatures will be sufficiently cool to allow snow to stick for a time, before reverting back to sleet and rain.
‘IT WILL NOT STICK’
“Lower levels may see wet snow or sleet, but it will not stick.
“This will cause some issues for motorists on the roads during the early hours with caution advised. The precipitation will generally weaken as it progresses northwards and inland.”
Met Eireann said it will be “very cold” across most of the country tomorrow morning, with widespread frost and ice or black ice.
And they said cloud and rain in the southwest will “slowly move northeast” across the country during the day, turning to sleet or snow on high ground.
Ulster and northeast Leinster are expected to stay dry.
The first signs of the cold snap easing come as temperatures peak between 1C and 5C, but it won’t be as cold in the southwest.
Keith Leonard, National Director of the National Directorate for Fire and Emergency Management, said: “While we have another bitterly cold night in store tonight, we may finally be reaching the end of this phase of severe weather, with temperatures expected to slowly rise from Friday onwards.”
‘KEEP AN EYE OUT’
But he warned that, for now, roads and paths “remain challenging” throughout the country and people should take extra care if they have to make a journey.
Leonard continued: “We are continuing to coordinate a cross-government response to ensure the most appropriate supports are happening at local level, and we remain particularly focused on getting those who are still without power or water reconnected as quickly as possible.
“Finally, I’d again like to thank people who have been checking in on vulnerable neighbours during this cold spell.
“We have another very cold day and night ahead, so please continue to keep an eye out for them and make sure they are ok.”
Local Authority Severe Weather Assessment Teams are continuing to monitor conditions locally and emergency response teams are ready to respond where and when necessary.
COLDEST TEMPS EVER RECORDED IN IRELAND
AS freezing conditions and low temperatures hit Ireland, the country is set to bask in ice, snow and sleet.
With temperatures setting into minus figures, it won’t beat the coldest days ever recorded on the island.
The coldest areas in Ireland are usually found inland, with coastal areas benefiting from sea breezes to keep warmer.
Mullingar, Co Westmeath has the lowest average temperature at 9.3C yearly, but it is not the coldest ever recorded area.
Here are the areas in the country that have recorded the lowest ever temperatures:
- Co Sligo: On January 16, 1881, –19.1C was recorded at Markree Castle in Collooney.
- Co Kildare: On January 2, 1979, -18.8C was recorded in Lullymore.
- Co Longford: On February 7, 1895, -17.8C was recorded in Mostrim while the area also saw the coldest July temperature ever at -0.3C on July 8, 1889.
- Co Sligo: Again at Markree Castle, -17.2C was recorded on March 3, 1947, -8.3C on October 31, 1926 and -7.7C on April 15, 1892.
- Co Donegal: The coldest ever temperature in May on record was detected in Glenties at -5.6C.
- Co Offaly: On June 1, 1962, Clonsast saw temperatures drop to -3.3C.
- Co Wicklow: The coldest ever day in August was in Rathdrum with temperatures dropping to -2.7C on August 30, 1964.
- Co Wexford: On November 29, 2010, Clonroche saw temperatures drop to -11.5C.
- Co Mayo: Also in 2010, temperatures in Straide dropped to -17.5C on Christmas Day.
And local authorities are continuing to salt roads as well as footpaths in urban centres where possible.
Thousands were left without power after the severe weather hit but it was confirmed this afternoon that there are currently less than 200 customers without supply.
These customers will be reconnected today.
Met Eireann said the weather next week will be “dominated by high pressure”, which will lead to largely settled conditions.
The national forecaster said: “There is a signal for temperatures to be slightly higher than average for the time of year with precipitation amounts expected to below average.
“Given the time of year frost and fog may develop under these conditions with areas of fog and low cloud slow to clear during the day.”
Як відрізнити виразку і гастрит від раку за симптомами
Медики розповіли, що при раку шлунка симптоми можуть бути дуже схожі на ті, що відчувають хворі при виразці, гастриті і інших захворюваннях, пов’язаних зі слизовою. Але все ж є відмінності. Італійські лікарі звернули увагу пацієнтів на те, що рак шлунка і кишечника іноді може маскуватися під менш небезпечні захворювання – виразку або гастрит. Так як […]
