    We all know Mario Balotelli is a big fan of practical jokes, but the tables have been turned in this video.

Still, better than destroying […]

    Breathtaking drone footage of the ‘heaviest wave on Earth’…

    Surfers crave the perfect wave. Often the bigger the better. But as this stunning video shows, a healthy respect for the awesome power of nature should always be maintained.

  • Is this the greatest GIF on the internet?

    Is this the greatest GIF on the internet?

    Sometimes less is more. Every now and then we come across a ridiculously creative video, Vine or GIF which bowls us over with its sheer simplicity. When David Fincher made Alien 3 with Sigourney Weaver returning as Ripley, he could never have envisaged that the film’s most iconic scene would be recreated using nothing more than a stapler […]

    Who thought shirt numbers would cause such a kerfuffle? We’ve seen Luke Shaw and then Manchester City help out fans who have ended up with the wrong number on their back, and now Bastian Schweinsteiger has joined in the trend.

    The likes of George Carlin and Richard Pryor ripping hecklers apart (NSFW)

    You’d have to be either extremely brave or very stupid to be a stand-up comedian. Who in their right minds would enter into a career that involves standing in front of a crowd of often drunk strangers, trying to make them laugh? It takes thick skin and massive cojones. Of course an occupational hazard of the job […]

    A woman wore a Fitbit monitor during sex – and here’s the graph…

    We live in an age where virtually everything is monitored and subjected to some form of analysis. You didn’t just walk to the shops to get the paper – you took 156 steps on your way there, shed 100 calories and reached an elevation of 56 feet. You get the picture. But some things really […]

    Messi free kick masterclass: Anything Sevilla do, Leo does better (Video)

    When Ever Banega scored a beautiful free kick against Barcelona in the UEFA Super Cup, he must have thought he’d netted the set-piece of the game. He opened the scoring for Sevilla with this class effort… https://twitter.com/barcastuff/status/631176102229221376 But then up stepped the genius that is Lionel Messi. His first response was this postage stamp golazo… https://twitter.com/barcastuff/status/631177465084407808 And […]

    Man United target Pedro omitted from Barcelona team for Super Cup…

    It’s widely assumed in Spain that Pedro’s move to Manchester United has been delayed so that he could play for Barcelona in their UEFA Super Cup clash with Sevilla on Tuesday. However, the 28-year-old forward is a surprise omission from Luis Enrique’s starting line-up, after he reportedly told sporting director Robert Fernandez that he wishes to leave.

    Overweight men are better in bed, say British women…

    For many out of shape blokes, summer is a time when you don’t feel too great about yourself – even though the ‘Dad Bod’ is meant to be in at the moment. Warmer weather means fewer clothes and more of you on show; holidays by the pool leave you enviously comparing your flabby torso with those of […]

    This rude suit was put in his place on the London underground…

    This rude prick was put firmly in his place – and from the last person you’d expect. After a London suit thought it was a good idea to talk down to a woman wearing a ‘revealing’ dress on the tube, he found she had a surprising ally. This chap perhaps isn’t the most flattering towards […]

    Steve-O arrested after elaborate anti-SeaWorld stunt

    Since the airing of the Blackfish documentary, there’s been a hefty amount of negativity about the SeaWorld theme park.

    The biggest ba**ard in Game of Thrones is coming back

    Forgive and forget. That’s the mantra that the characters from Game of Thrones live by because we all know that any arguments in Westeros are resolved with a peaceful discussion over hot cocoa. It’s not like the show revels in gory deaths, fatal backstabbing and characters that are about as untrustworthy as The Wall is cold. Spoiler […]

    The Premier League is officially back. Arsenal fans’ significant pre-season optimism was shattered earlier today. The Gunners were different this year, they said, Petr Cech would be worth 10 to 12 points a season, they said. There are still 37 games to go, but the sight of a goalkeeper mistake and a complacent performance made it feel […]

    Clearing headers doesn’t seem to be a part of David Moyes’ philosophy. Either that or he’s got some atrocious defenders in his squad as Real Sociedad conceded a pretty embarrassing own goal in a friendly against Atletico Madrid on Saturday. With the ball whipped into the box, one terrible header led to another terrible header, before […]
