Juan Mata doesn’t seem like a pitchfork-wielding maniac to us. But thanks to the power of Photoshop, we now know how it would look if the Man United midfielder went on the rampage. The Spaniard and his team-mates recently starred in a clip promoting United’s new home kit, in which they carried Red Devils’ pitchforks, as you […]

Are Americans really this confused by geography? A few are. A group were put to the test on their knowledge of the UK and Ireland by having to label where England, Ireland and Scotland are on a map. ‘Are there two ‘t’s’ in Scotland?’, ‘Is Northern Ireland another country?’ – and the most spectacular, ‘I […]

We’d imagine a reunion on the set of Game of Thrones is just like the first day of school, only with murder, sex and betrayal.

There might be more meaningful uses of camouflage, but this man’s efforts can’t be faulted for lack of practicality. Andrew Hawes has been hiding in bushes near his hometown of Leiston in Suffolk, filming those too lazy to clean up dog poo in the town’s green spaces. His camouflage outfit (not the new Everton kit) […]

Somebody needs to have a strong word with Apple about the durability of their chargers, more specifically the cable on their iPhone chargers.

Anyone looking for a smart little run around? At just £200 for a Ford Fiesta with 67,000 miles on the clock, surely this must be worth a look? Granted, the paintwork may need some work. When vandals decide to use your car as a canvas to demonstrate their artistic flair, it’s understandably very annoying and might make […]

This casting process was never going to take long.

Jose Mourinho is a winner – that’s what he’ll tell you, and that’s what his results over the years have shown.

This is why we have nothing by admiration for Ronda Rousey. Prior to UFC 190, which takes place in the wee hours of the morning on Sunday in Brazil, Rousey addressed some of the comments levelled at her appearance for being too ‘muscly’ or ‘masculine’. Speaking to UFC Embedded, she had some choice words for those who […]
