Louis van Gaal is not an easy man to please, but Bastian Schweinsteiger might have thought he’d get an easy ride after only his second appearance for Manchester United. Van Gaal’s side ran out 3-1 winners in their meaningless friendly against San Jose Earthquakes – with Memphis Depay on the score sheet – but the […]

One of the regular complaints you hear from musicians when they’re on the road is that it’s almost impossible to live a healthy lifestyle. But the talented Sam Smith is doing his best to prove that statement wrong.

Johnson came through a three-man play-off to claim the Open Championship on Monday when Louis Oosthuizen’s vital putt failed to nestle in the cup. Johnson’s caddie Damon Green attempted to celebrate with a high five. He waited…and waited…and waited. Evil Johnson was having none of it and simply stared at his caddie… […]

We weren’t expecting this with our cornflakes… BBC Breakfast presenter Bill Turnball had a bizarre brainfart this morning when he accidentally dropped the C-bomb upon an unsuspecting public.

It looks like Louis van Gaal and Ed Woodward haven’t finished their summer spending spree just yet. Despite dropping around £80m on Memphis Depay, Matteo Darmian, Bastian Schweinsteiger and  Morgan Schneiderlin, the Red Devils are still ready to spend big on a new signing or two. Cavani, Kane, Benzema, Muller and Pedro are just some of the goalscorers that […]

Liverpool and Aston Villa have agreed terms for the transfer of Christian Benteke. That basically means that the Merseyside club have agreed to pay the player’s £32.5m buy-out clause.
