Scott Waites might be taking on Jeff Smith in the BDO World Darts final, but everybody’s talking about Bobby George.

Ankle-breaker

At this stage we think it’s fair to say Harry Kane is not a one-season wonder. The Tottenham striker had a slow start to this season, but has found his scoring boots again and the hype around the young Englishman has begun building once more. The 22-year-old was left out of the Spurs starting line-up […]

If you have a friend who’s a Tranmere fan, you might want to check they haven’t had a heart attack. The Rovers were 3-1 down in their National League match away to Barrow on Saturday but somehow pulled off the greatest escape of all-time to claim all three points. Three goals in stoppage time helped […]

A dog is for life, not just for Christmas. It’s a phrase bandied about so much it almost seems cliched to say it, but it’s true. Unfortunately, not everybody appreciates the fact. A Californian rescue centre has shared a video with its followers of a dog that had been abandoned by its owner and waited […]

It’s 2016 and we’re still talking about that f**king dress. Arsenal playmaker Mesut Ozil took part in a Twitter Q&A on Friday ahead of Arsenal’s FA Cup third round tie against Sunderland.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens has made John Boyega into one of the biggest stars in the world overnight, but he had some humble beginnings.

Bethany Hamilton has every reason to be afraid of the sea. The American surfer lost an arm when she was just 13-years-old after being attacked by a tiger shark of the coast of Hawaii. But rather than let such a thing scare her off, Hamilton has used it as motivation and become a professional surfer. […]

Nobody likes commuting, even politicians. Between his infamous bacon sandwich snap and his accidental photobombs, Ed Miliband has always been good for the odd photo. The former Labour leader was spotted catching the tube on the way to work on Thursday and didn’t look the least bit happy about it. Though based on the time the […]

Everybody loves Netflix, but there’s still that one major problem.

Americans’ lover affair with guns is something that’s always been difficult to understand. In the opening five days of 2016, more than 140 people in the US had died as the result of gun violence, and even President Obama himself has stepped in to try and solve the country’s growing gun crisis. Despite the ridiculous […]

It can be difficult to stand out in today’s competitive marketplace. For all that we say we want originality, we can often be too hard on anyone trying something new, leaving people feeling like d*cks for even making an attempt. That seems to be the case in Cardiff, as a recently erected food truck has been […]

Being a Top Gear presenter seems like a relatively easy job. You drive around a few fancy cars, crack a few jokes, try not to verbally assault any of the production crew and then go home for the day. But for the show’s new host Chris Evans, things are proving to be a little more difficult, […]

There was a time when any talented young Frenchman was simply linked with a move to Arsenal. While that is still the case to some degree, there is now a second stage for the rumour mill to go through – linking that same Frenchman with Newcastle United. Long-term Arsenal target Alexandre Lacazette has well and truly reached that […]

The January transfer window is open, which means it’s time to start speculating on players’ futures again.

Ever since a 5p charge on plastic shopping bags was introduced to England last year, people have been searching for ways around the charge.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was tipped for big things when he joined Arsenal from Southampton in 2011.

Times have been tough for Louis van Gaal, but 2016 might bring kinder days for the Dutchman.

Manchester United kicked off 2016 with their first victory in nine matches thanks to a 2-1 defeat of Swansea.

Booking a train ticket can be a real pain in backside sometimes. You’d naturally think that it’d be cheaper to grab a train than a flight, but that isn’t always the case.

Conor McGregor has quite a memorable year. He entered 2015 with critics on every side saying that he was nothing but a hype man who would be found out once he went against a real opponent.

Wayne Rooney’s appalling 2015 has finally come to an end.

Nobody’s perfect, not even the great Lionel Messi. The Argentine is arguably the best player in the history of the sport, but there’s still one major flaw in his game – penalties.

On the surface of it, James McClean seems like the ideal Tony Pulis player.
