Arsenal fans can’t believe what Myles Lewis-Skelly’s mum said before Man City clash as heartwarming interview goes viral
MYLES LEWIS-SKELLY was the talk of the Premier League after his starring display for Arsenal against Manchester City.
The 18-year-old put in a performance well beyond his years as he scored his first Gunners goal in the 5-1 thrashing, while also getting a dig in at Erling Haaland.
@doseofsociety “My son played against Man City this Sunday in the Premier League” – Marcia, London

Thank you for sharing your story with us!
#arsenal #premierleague #mancity
Haaland had famously told Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta to “stay humble” after their 2-2 draw at the Etihad earlier this season, before later exchanging words with Lewis-Skelly.
However, the Hale End graduate got his own back on Sunday as he scored a stunning goal before he then celebrated using Haaland’s signature “meditating” celebration.
Fans loved the show of mind games from Lewis-Skelly.
But a stunning interview before the game with his mum, Marcia, has now gone viral.
Speaking to doseofsociety on TikTok, Marcia was asked to say something the interviewer wouldn’t believe about her.
She responded by saying her son was going to play against City on Sunday, before her answer about what it is like to be the mother of a professional footballer stunned fans.
Marcia, who is also the agent of Lewis-Skelly, said: “[It’s] Busy, but still a mother.
“I think if you get the right people and the right family support then anything’s possible.”

She continued: “Gratitude is important, stay humble, stay grounded as a family and keep the right people around you.”
The context of the “stay humble” comment riled up the Arsenal faithful given how they were relishing feeding Haaland and co. dose after dose of humble pie.
Reacting on social media, one fan said: “She even said stay humble.”
A second said: “Stay humble eh? Love it mama.”
A third added: “She said stay humble, is that a dig at Haaland?”
Another said: “She’s brilliant.”
A fifth said: “God bless you. She’s sooo grounded.”
Devoted Marcia put herself through a Masters degree in football business at University before passing Fifa’s football agent exam.
Her master’s thesis was on the parent experience in youth football where she interviewed 18 parents with children aged 15 to 21 and found four recurring problems.
To that end, Marcia also aims to help and support other parents going through similar experiences.
The scheme, known as the No1 Fan Club, includes various resources, a community chat network, workshops and even a book club – all tailored towards providing wisdom, education and support for parents.
And in her viral interview before the City game, Marcia also took the chance to promote the scheme.
She said: “Get the support you need. We do that, we have a platform to support parents who are navigating youth football. We’re here to support you parents.”
Lewis-Skelly has been a shining light for the Gunners this season, stepping into defence seamlessly from the academy.
He has now made 19 appearances for the senior team, with his first goal being scored against City.
His exploits look set to fast-track him into Thomas Tuchel’s senior England team.
Arsenal player ratings vs Man City
ARSENAL stunned Man City 5-1 at the Emirates on Sunday evening.
It was an incredible result against their rivals of recent years.
Here, we take a look at how the Gunners rated…
David Raya – 7/10
Had very little to do in the first half but made a brilliant save in the 22nd minute to deny a goalbound header from Josko Gvardiol. Made another stunning save two minutes from the half-time interval, stopping a deflected Savinho shot from close range. Powerless to stop Erling Haaland’s 55th-minute header from briefly levelling the scores.
Jurrien Timber – 6
Didn’t offer his usual attacking threat going forward but was solid defensively. Picked up a pointless yellow breaking up a harmless counter-attack in the 24th minute. Almost scored late in the second half.
William Saliba – 5
Didn’t have much to do in the first half but won all his aerial battles in the first 45 minutes. Marshalled the defence well early in the second period but was embarrassingly outjumped and outmuscled by Haaland for City’s equaliser – a major flaw of his that continues to be exposed.
Gabriel Magalhaes – 6
Like his defensive partner, he was seldom called into action in the first half. Dominant in the air in his battles with Haaland, who he trolled after Odegaard’s goal.
Myles Lewis-Skelly – 8
Continues to endear himself to the Emirates faithful with composure and tenacity beyond his years as he brilliantly floated between left back and midfield. Put real daylight between the two sides with a thumping finish just after the hour mark. This young lad is a real bright prospect for both the Gunners and England.
His trolling of Haaland by copying the Norwegian’s ‘Lotus’ celebration went down a storm with fans.
Thomas Partey – 7
Steady in the heart of midfield and broke up play well when required. Fired the Gunners back into the lead in the 57th minute with a deflected shot from outside the box.
Martin Odegaard – 7
Was in the right place at the right time to benefit from the aftermath of an uncharacteristic Manuel Akanji error and break the deadlock. Was at the heart of everything good the north Londoners did going forward.
Declan Rice – 6
Combative, as always, in the middle of the park and played a role in the home side taking the lead, teeing up Havertz who squared the ball to Odegaard.
Leandro Trossard – 6
Was particularly lively on the left in the first half, giving Matheus Nunes a real run for his money. His end product, however, wasn’t the best.
Gabriel Martinelli – 6
Lively on the right wing in the early goings. Found the back of the net in the fifth minute after some beautiful play from Odegaard but was needlessly offside. Forced a good save out of Ortega with a rasping effort in the 68th minute.
Kai Havertz – 6
Lively early doors, testing Stefan Ortega with a tame shot in the first minute. Teed up Odegaard for a tap in a few moments later. Missed a golden opportunity to double the lead in the 25th minute, dragging the ball wide with the goal at his absolute mercy. Made amends for his howler by finishing an even harder chance in the 76th minute. He well and truly needed that as he looked absolutely devoid of confidence.
SUBS
Ethan Nwaneri – 83 (on for Trossard) – 7
Put the cherry on top of the cake with an outrageous effort in second-half stoppage time.
Mikel Merino – 83 (on for Odegaard) – 5
Raheem Sterling – 89 (on for Kai Havertz ) – N/A
Riccardo Calafiori 89 (on for Lewis-Skelly) – N/A

‘I bit off more than I could chew’ – Katja Mia reflects on ‘tough’ DWTS experience with gruelling schedule
VIRGIN Media star Katja Mia has admitted that she “bit off more than she could chew” last year after competing on Dancing With The Stars.
The Six O’Clock Show host made it to the quarter final on series seven of the hit RTE Show but was voted off by judges after facing the dreaded dance battle.
Katja quickly became a fan favourite on the dance competition and viewers were devastated she didn’t make it all the way to raise the coveted glitterball trophy.
However, a year on, the 28-year-old has now reveaeled that the gruelling TV schedule ended up taking a toll her.
The Irish host had just landed the biggest gig of her career on The Six O’Clock Show and was still co-hosting Ireland AM.
The Dublin native told RTE Guide: “I did enjoy doing it but looking back now it was mentally tough.
“I had just started Six and when the conversation came up initially about DWTS I was still on Weekend AM, so I thought, ‘Oh that’s fine I’ll have loads of time’.
“I wanted to be present for both gigs so in hindsight, I had probably bitten off more than I could chew.”
The young star confessed that juggling all her commitments at the time was “definitely one of the toughest challenges” she had ever taken on I’ve ever taken on.
She added: “It really made me respect the dancers and everyone working on the show behind the scenes.”
And Katja told how she found it hard to look back on her performances every week on the show.
The popular presenter said: “I’m only watching back the videos of my dancing now – I couldn’t watch them back for a year. Now, I feel really proud of what I achieved but in the moment all you can do is criticise and think what you could have done better.
“The hardest part of everything is being perceived in a certain way and I get quite self-conscious being on screen and how I look.”
And it was certainly a year to remember for Katja after her long-term love Daragh Curran popped the question during a romantic summer holiday in Italy.
The happy couple celebrated seven years together back in September.
The host took to Instagram to share the exciting proposal news with her fans.
Katja and Daragh posed smiling from ear-to-ear for some selfies after he popped the question.
AISLE SAY!
The presenter looked happier than ever as she showed off her stunning ring.
The pair are currently enjoying a holiday in Italy together and Katja also posted some fabulous snaps from their trip.
The TV star captioned her post: “August dump… but make it different. ARGHhh! #augustdump #engagement #fiancé.”
Friends and fans all flocked to the comment section to congratulate the pair.
RTE star Laura Fox said: “Crying my GIRL! Congratulations to you and @daraghcurran__ the best couple.”
Popular presenter Eileen Dunne wrote: “I can’t cope with all the engagements girls! What was in the air @DWTS? Many congrats Katja and Daragh… great couple!”
Katja’s Six O’Clock Show co-host Brian Dowling gushed: “YES YES YES!!! This is EVERYTHING that [ring] is EVERYWHERE. There is a wedding that needs planning. I’m so so happy for you darling.”
Iconic car gets ‘retro’ rebrand into TINY two-seat EV with top speed of just 28mph & can be driven in UK from aged 16
AN ICONIC car has undergone a “retro” rebrand turning it into a tiny two-seater EV which has a top speed of just 28mph.
Citroën’s brand new minimalist motor is based on its popular all-electric Ami quadricycle, first released in 2020.
The Type-Ami is the newest member of the French car giant’s family and is set to have its world debut this month at Retromobile 2025.
The Citroën Ami was first launched in 2020 and sold 43,000 units in its first two years.
With a top speed of just 28mph, the micro EV is perfect for city drivers and is just a mere 2.4m long, 1.4m wide, and 1.5m tall.
On a single charge the motor can stretch to 47 miles non-stop and is packaged as a cheap way to have “urban mobility for all”.
Best of all, it is legal to drive the Ami from the age of 16 in the UK on a moped licence – a whole year above the legal driving age of 17.
Its 5.5kWh battery pack pushes out just 8bhp and it takes a whopping 10 seconds to go from 0-28mph.
Now, the brand new Type-Ami will be produced by Caselani, a bodywork manufacturer based in Cremona, Italy, that has produced multiple conversion kits for Citroën over the years.
This has included work for the Citroën’s Berlino, Jumper, and SpaceTourer motors.
The tiny car has its main characteristics inspired by Citroëns of the past, including its large closed front grille that’s dominated by the carmaker’s logo.
Its frontage is also split into two broken segments, unlike the minimalist design seen on the regular Ami.
While it generally keeps most proportions the same as the Ami, the new version has its body crossed by small horizontal curves, giving a more classic finish.
Keeping with tradition, the wheel rims have a similar design that echoes to that of Citroëns of the past.
The various details and panels help to transform the French electric quadricycle into a modern classic, and they are compatible with both the current version and the pre-styled one.
Even with this, the weight of the vehicle is unchanged at just 471kg.
The motor has been designed by Caselani designer David Obendorfer in collaboration with Citroën Style Centre, headed by Pierre Leclercq.
It will be available in various colours and can be bought already installed for €13,900 (around £12,000).
If you already have an Ami at home and want to spruce it up with a new look, you can get the standalone kit for just €5,000 (£4,200).
Citroën’s Ami can come with a range of different trims, including a sportier trim for My Ami Pop that adds alloy wheel trims, a black strip under the windshield, front and rear bumper sections, a set of graphics for the doors and even a rear spoiler.
Major warning for Irish workers as over 500k missing out on tax back worth HUNDREDS of euro
OVER 500k workers in Ireland are missing out on tax back worth hundreds of euro, the Revenue Commissioners has warned.
Around €389m in tax may have been overpaid in Ireland last year.
Refunds of over €400m have already been paid out during January, with the average refund issued at €900.
A public information campaign has been launched to raise awareness among PAYE taxpayers.
Tax credits and relief are available on a range of expenses including healthcare, renting, mortgage fee repayments and remote working costs.
Dan Oosthuizen from Revenue’s PAYE Services, said: “Our records indicate that a further €389 million may have been overpaid in 2024, and I therefore encourage all PAYE taxpayers to log on to Revenue’s myAccount service to finalise their tax position as soon as they can.
“Taxpayers are also reminded that they have four years to claim any additional refund they may be due.”
Taxpayers are urged to review and finalise their tax position for each of the years 2021, 2022 and 2023.
Mr Oosthuizen added: “If Revenue owes you money, you’ll get a refund into your bank account within days. If you owe Revenue money, we’ll work with you to find a suitable payment option.”
Revenue officials also found that 66,000 people underpaid tax in 2024.
Revenue’s National PAYE Manager, Aisling Ní Mhaoileoin, said: “The myAccount service is quick, easy and free to use and available all year round, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
“Additionally, we use all the information available to us to pre-populate returns.
“Therefore, for the vast majority of PAYE taxpayers, filing a return is a straightforward process they can complete themselves at a time that suits them.
“By filing an Income Tax Return, PAYE taxpayers can ensure that they are claiming all tax credits and reliefs they are entitled to, and receive any refund they are due.”
Detailed guidance, including step-by-step videos on how to submit a PAYE Income Tax Return and information on the wide range of tax credits and reliefs available, can be found on myAccount and PAYE campaign page, which is accessible at www.revenue.ie/paye.
Revenue’s myAccount service can be accessed through the Revenue website, or a verified MyGovID account, and taxpayers are reminded that Revenue never issues communications by email or text message.
REVENUE - WHAT IS PAYE?
PAYE stands for ‘Pay As You Earn’. If you are an employee, you normally pay tax through PAYE.
Every time your salary is paid, your employer deducts Income Tax, Pay Related Social Insurance (PRSI) and Universal Social Charge (USC) and pays the amount deducted to Revenue. PAYE ensures that the yearly amounts you have to pay are collected evenly on each pay day over the course of the tax year.
PAYE is also used for people who receive an occupational pension from a previous employer.
You may be entitled to tax credits and to tax reliefs and exemptions to reduce the amount of tax you pay.
Scarlett Moffatt devastated as best friend dies of cancer – leaving behind baby son and wife
SCARLETT Moffatt has shared how devastated she is after her best friend died of cancer.
David Iveson, Scarlett’s pal, has died after battling cancer, with him leaving behind his wife and child – who was only born in the autumn.
David’s Instagram account saw him document his chemotherapy journey while continuing his cancer treatment after sharing how his cancer had returned in November.
Revealing that David had died on her Instagram page today, Scarlett shared a selection of images of herself with her late friend and penned a moving caption.
Among the pictures of herself with David, the pair could be seen enjoying themselves at places such as Winter Wonderland and Disneyland.
Scarlett shot to fame after joining Gogglebox in 2014, with her friendship with David predating her fame.
“My best friend Ivo. I’ve never felt grief before & I don’t know how to write this caption,” she emotionally began.
“I will love you always & I will feel eternally grateful for the decades of friendship we had,” Scarlett went on.
“I will always cherish these last few weeks and remember how I got to hold your hand & tell you how much I love you and tell you what you meant to me – oh and our 2am texting club.
“Every day you will be missed. You didn’t deserve any of this and I will forever hate cancer for what it’s done.
“We will always be there for Charlotte & baby Archie. Love you to the stars and back.”
Back in November, David shared a post about his cancer battle.
DAVID’S CANCER BATTLE
Recalling his cancer battle from the beginning, David penned on November 26: “I found a lump in my leg one evening which was the size of a golf ball and then got onto the Dr’s to find out what it could be.
“Unfortunately nobody was sure what it could be until the Newcastle hospitals got wind of it and diagnosed me with having a peripheral nerve sheath tumour in the leg.”
He went on to reveal how the lump “quickly got larger over time and then I was due to have my operation”.
“The operation took 12 hours to remove and then I lost blood so needed blood transfusions as well,” he detailed, adding: “I then had to recover in hospital after coming round with a lovely plate of fish and chips to eat.
“To be fair, it wasn’t all bad whilst I was in there, but it didn’t start off on the best foot!!”
David explained how he had a skin flap to replace the skin that was lost where the tumour was, and a skin graft donor on the other leg.
“Now the operation was success,” he recalled, “the road to recovery started, physio and plenty of dressing changes, and trying to keep myself entertained all day in hospital began!
“I was in hopsital for around 3 weeks before I was allowed to finally go home.”
He then shared some sad news, concluding the post by writing: “Unfortunately the cancer has since returned as I found another lump, so now I am about to start chemotherapy – wish me luck!”
DAVID’S WIFE AND SON
David got engaged to Charlotte in December 2023, with him sharing a sweet selfie at the time.
In March 2024, the couple then announced they were expecting their first child.
Archie David Iveson, the couple’s son, was born in September, with David sharing a sweet snap of him carrying his son out of the hospital complete with a caption that read: “Let’s get you home.”
