"I was only planning to do a week or so to start training before the fight," he told Mirror Fighting . "I drove because I had to take my dogs with me and I don't like putting them in transport.

thedailymirror--2020-04-25--Ray Parlour slams Arsenal leadership in passionate defence of Mesut Ozil

Ray Parlour has leapt to the defence of Mesut Ozil and criticised the lack of leadership at Arsenal amid the recent disagreement regarding player pay cuts .
Ozil is one of three Arsenal stars to decide against taking a deduction in their salary despite the rest of the squad agreeing to the club 's request .
Arsenal proposed each player give up 12.5 per cent of their weekly wage to help the club ride the economic impact of the coronavirus crisis .
As the club 's top earner , Ozil has become chief scapegoat for criticism , but former Gunner @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unnecessarily targeted .
`` He ’ s on 350k-a-week but I look it as Arsenal ’ s mistake to give him the money , '' Parlour told talkSPORT .
`` You ’ re never going to turn it down , that shouldn ’ t come into it really .
`` I do believe if there are three or four players then they should all be named .
Why ’ s it only Mesut Ozil who has been named ?
You should know every single player . ''
Arsenal remain hopeful of agreeing terms @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , which would leave Ozil as the sole outcast .
Ozil could yet follow suit further down the line , but he wanted to know the full financial impact before making a decision .
Sky pundit Gary Neville has been vocally critical of Ozil and co. , and said : `` The principle of not being together as a group is indefensible .
You ’ re a team on and off the pitch .
`` I wouldn ’ t like to be one of the three who hasn ’ t agreed .
It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rest .
When a group of players are voting on something , you go along with it . ''
And Parlour has pointed to the wider issue of leadership at the club , following on from the problems with former captain Granit Xhaka earlier this season , who has since been replaced in the role by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang .
`` It shows the leadership issues again , '' Parlour added .
`` In my era Tony Adams was captain , he would ’ ve gone around every single player and we would have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to do .
`` We either all do it or we don ’ t .
It shows the lack of leadership .
Even with Patrick Vieira it would have been the same .
There wouldn ’ t be meetings with managers or anyone like that , it would have been down to the players .
`` Patrick would have been on the phone or a zoom meeting and said this is the plan , this is what the club want to do what is the feedback ?
It ’ s negative news which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . ''

Each room in the family home features extremely high ceilings, and spacious rooms give the family enough space to relax.
Their living room is the perfect place for the family to relax and watch TV together, as they can curl up on the comfy corner sofa and watch films to escape reality.

Unbelievable views of the hills can be seen from the garden, and it proves to be very picturesque for Instagram.
It seems Robbie and Ayda even have a personal cleaner to sort out their daily housework, as fans spotted her in the back of one of his Insta snaps.
Robbie has been having a great time in quarantine as he recently dressed up as Tiger King's Joe Exotic.
The star enjoyed a hilarious workout while his wife Ayda filmed him.
He strutted his hips from side-to-side in tiny hot pants and a cowboy hat, as he reenacted inspired exercises from Joe Exotic and Carole Baskin in his cheeky Instagram post.

Sunbathing in parks , house parties and pub pints are just some of the ways people have been caught flouting instructions to stay at home .
Police have criticised the “ selfish minority of individuals ” who have been caught ignoring the government guidance during the coronavirus outbreak .
Officers were spotted talking to sunbathers in London Fields park , Hackney , as many people left their homes to enjoy the warm weather this weekend .
Last night police officers moved in to break up a house party in Paganhill , Stroud .
Three residents in Paganhill were given warning @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , reports Gloucestershire Live .
“ Lockdown is not over , ” officers said on the @ StroudPolice twitter account .
“ We are still engaging , explaining and encouraging compliance with coronavirus regulations.
” Meanwhile police said there was “ no excuse ” after a pub in Wolverhampton was found to be opening to serve booze , reports Birmingham Live .
The Pendulum pub in Pendeford had its licence suspended for nearly four weeks by councillors after being issued with a Coronavirus Restrictions Prohibition Notice by police .
Sergeant Steph Reynolds , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : `` The rules imposed by the Government were very clear .
`` Pubs are not to trade for consumption of food or drink on the premises . ''
She added : `` There may be a false belief that it 's worth the risk to secretly trade ... that you will only be asked to close like everyone else already is if caught .
`` But if you do breach the rules you face losing your licence completely and be unable to trade when lockdown restrictions are lifted .
`` A breach @ @ @ @ @ @ @ being taken to court and even a prison sentence . ''
A couple who drove 300 miles for a “ mini break ” at a Cornish beach were fined and had their car seized this week .
The pair , who are from Kent , were found asleep in the car in Falmouth , a Devon and Cornwall Police officer said .
The driver also had no driving licence or insurance .
Superintendent Adrian Leisk , who is the local area commander for West Cornwall , said : `` Still struggle to comprehend @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
`` Important message for those still thinking it 's a good idea to ignore the Government guidance .
You will be fined , you will be turned around and in this case we 'll seize your car . ''
In Gwent , officers described it is `` unacceptable '' that people drove nearly 12 miles from Newport to the blue lagoon at Pantygasseg .

Police officers have branded the small minority of those caught breaking coronavirus Covid-19 lockdown rules as “selfish” and said there is “no excuse” for their behaviour
'Lockdown is not over,' warn police as Brits sunbathe in parks and throw parties
Sunbathing in parks, house parties and pub pints are just some of the ways people have been caught flouting instructions to stay at home.
Police have criticised the “selfish minority of individuals” who have been caught ignoring the government guidance during the coronavirus outbreak.
Officers were spotted talking to sunbathers in London Fields park, Hackney, as many people left their homes to enjoy the warm weather this weekend.
Last night police officers moved in to break up a house party in Paganhill, Stroud.
Three residents in Paganhill were given warning letters for socialising out of their houses, reports Gloucestershire Live.

“Lockdown is not over,” officers said on the @StroudPolice twitter account.
“We are still engaging, explaining and encouraging compliance with coronavirus regulations.”
Meanwhile police said there was “no excuse” after a pub in Wolverhampton was found to be opening to serve booze, reports Birmingham Live.

The Pendulum pub in Pendeford had its licence suspended for nearly four weeks by councillors after being issued with a Coronavirus Restrictions Prohibition Notice by police.
Sergeant Steph Reynolds, from Wolverhampton police licensing team, said: "The rules imposed by the Government were very clear.
"Pubs are not to trade for consumption of food or drink on the premises."

She added: "There may be a false belief that it's worth the risk to secretly trade... that you will only be asked to close like everyone else already is if caught.
"But if you do breach the rules you face losing your licence completely and be unable to trade when lockdown restrictions are lifted.

"A breach of the rules can also lead to being taken to court and even a prison sentence."
A couple who drove 300 miles for a “mini break” at a Cornish beach were fined and had their car seized this week.
The pair, who are from Kent, were found asleep in the car in Falmouth, a Devon and Cornwall Police officer said. The driver also had no driving licence or insurance.

Superintendent Adrian Leisk, who is the local area commander for West Cornwall, said: "Still struggle to comprehend the selfishness of a minority of individuals.
"Important message for those still thinking it's a good idea to ignore the Government guidance. You will be fined, you will be turned around and in this case we'll seize your car."
In Gwent, officers described it is "unacceptable" that people drove nearly 12 miles from Newport to the blue lagoon at Pantygasseg.
Earlier this month, the National Police Chiefs' Council said more than 3,200 fines for alleged breaches of coronavirus lockdown laws were issued by police forces in England between March 27 and April 13.

Her last known sighting was at Broadacre Primary School, where she wore a distinctive bright yellow puffa jacket. She was reported missing by her dentist husband Dr Majid Mustafa that night.
