Leicestershire Police are investigating a series of offensive tweets which were directed at Jamie Vardy’s daughter over the weekend. The tweets in question appeared after Vardy’s fiancee Rebekah Nicholson shared a photo of their 5-year-old daughter following Sunday’s 1-0 win over Southampton.

Gareth Bale has had a tough time of things since arriving in Madrid. Despite helping Los Blancos finally win their 10th Champions League title in his first season in the Spanish capital, the Bernabeu faithful (oxymoron intended) have yet to fully warm to the Welshman. Part of the trouble Bale has found in winning over Madrid fans comes […]

Leicester City’s rise to the top of the Premier League caught everyone off-guard. When this season started, the Foxes were tipped for relegation, not a title. But under the leadership of club captain Wes Morgan (and a few goals from Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez), they have defied the odds. With six games left, Leicester […]

Dr […]

It might be called El Clasico, but this one is unlikely to be remembered as one of the great games. A 10-man Real Madrid eked past a lackluster Barcelona to claim all three points at Camp Nou in Saturday’s Clasico. Barcelona – who paid a stunning tribute to Johan Cruyff before kick off -came into […]

Johan Cruyff was arguably the most influential person in football’s modern history. The Dutchman is regarded at a legend everywhere he went, but perhaps no club holds him in higher regard than Spanish giants Barcelona. Cruyff joined the Catalans as a player in 1973 and spent five seasons at the club, being named European footballer […]

Doping is arguably the biggest challenge modern sport faces. When the topic of doping comes up, you might automatically think of sports like athletics or cycling, but no discipline can boast an entirely clean past. It’s important to keep this in mind as The Sunday Times is apparently about to break a massive doping scandal in Britain, […]

There are few rivalries as popular the one between Real Madrid and Barcelona. Liverpol and Manchester United have both seen their status as the top dogs in English football dismantled, while the Old Firm’s fall from grace means Celtic fans are still making fun of Rangers’ failure to join them back in the Scottish Premier League […]

Totti has played for the Serie A club for his entire senior career, making his debut as a 16-year-old in 1993, but his final meeting with bitter rivals Lazio may be overshadowed by fans’ plans to […]

Gary Neville’s time in La Liga didn’t exactly go to plan.

Sky Sports News HQ committed one of the cardinal sins of phone interviews on Sunday night. After the extent of Jack Butland’s injury became clear following England’s win over Germany, the 24-hour sports news channel decided to get in touch with the 23-year-old’s Stoke team-mate Shay Given. What would normally be standard, relatively unremarkable segment to fill another […]

Anthony Martial says that he laughs when Louis van Gaal yells at him in training because he believes it will help him improve as a player.
