They bloody deserve this! All the Leicester lads were over at Jamie Vardy’s gaff to watch Spurs play Chelsea, knowing full well that anything less than a victory for Pochettino’s men would mean that the Foxes would be crowned Premier League champions. Without tempting fate they probably knew for their own sanity that staying together in […]

They’ve done it! They’ve gone and done it without kicking a ball! Leicester City – yes Leicester City Football Club – are the champions of England.

That may be Mousa Dembele’s season over. Spurs proved that they were still very much in the title race after taking a 2-0 lead in the first half at Stamford Bridge, but there was a huge moment of controversy to end the first period as both sets of players clashed on the touchline. Away boss Mauricio Pochettino […]

Poor Scott ‘Scotty’ Parker. The 35-year-old former England man – and former is probably a safe bet – may currently be a Fulham player but he wore his real allegiances very much on his sleeve (…and shoulder’s and chest) on Monday evening during his appearance on Sky Sports’ coverage of Chelsea vs Spurs. Parker was […]

In case everyone had forgotten, the title race is still on. Leicester City may be strong favourites to become the champions of England for the first time in their 132-year history, but there’s still a chance that Tottenham Hotspur could pip them to the post Admittedly it would take something of a Devon Loch style capitulation by the […]

No football of any kind. As we all know Mamadou Sakho is currently the subject of a suspension from UEFA and has been relieved of his playing duties by Liverpool Football Club, pending the results of an investigation into the player’s failed drugs test.

It’s great to see that his injury isn’t as bad as feared. Enzo Amore was knocked unconscious after falling from the ring at WWE Payback, amidst fears that he had suffered an extremely serious injury. Amore was fighting the Vaudevillains alongside Big Cass when he took a worrying tumble and was rushed to hospital with the bout cancelled. Referee stops the match. […]

This is all a bit unnecessary. Whilst even Arsene Wenger’s biggest critics appreciate what he has done for the club and respect the Frenchman’s achievements, it seems not everyone is able to show their unhappiness in a decent manner. The Gunners’ boss is under fire after yet another season without a Premier League trophy. Many […]

The wait goes on. Everyone assumed that Leicester City would be crowded the champions of England at Old Trafford, but they’ll have to wait a little longer to win the Premier League. Manchester United were the party-poopers, holding the Foxes to a 1-1 draw. It was pulsating affair that had the country transfixed. It has […]

Jurgen Klopp may be the current darling of English football but he’s not above criticism. The Liverpool manager has garnered wholesome praise for his honesty and enthusiasm, as well as the way he’s transformed the Anfield side’s fortunes in such as a short amount of time. But his comments about how Villarreal celebrated their win […]

This is something of a WTF moment even for Tyson Fury. We’re used to the Wythenshawe warrior mouthing off with all sorts of weird and wonderful proclamations and disses but this is something else entirely. It’s as if he started talking and didn’t know how to stop. In comments that are so David Brent you wonder […]

Steve McManaman is a pundit who wears his heart very much on his sleeve. The BT Sport pundit doesn’t pretend to hide his allegiances to the red half of Merseyside, and his Liverpool affiliations are always apparent when he is providing his opinions to matches affecting the Red Men. But his reaction to Villarreal’s injury […]

It seems Liverpool are winning hearts and making friends all over Europe. Hot on the heels of their very cordial two-legged tie with Borussia Dortmund in the quarter-finals of the Europa League, they’ve quickly developed a bond with Villarreal fans in the semis too. The Spanish club not only boast an extremely Beatle-esque nickname of El Submarino […]

The North-South Divide is alive and well. Politicians and social commentators will have you believe that the north and the south have blended together into a homogenous whole, but we all know that there are still key differences that keep us mutually at odds.

Anger and blame are rarely applauded. We’re constantly told that forgiveness is a virtue and ‘moving on’ is the best way of dealing with any simmering anger. It only serves to eat you up inside. Conversely, harbouring any form of contempt is negative and even petty. Life is far too short and it is best […]

Mate. Seriously? Prince is an icon of our time who was as prolific in his songwriting as he was brilliant in his consistent genius. But if you ask anyone – whether music fan or not – which song they most clearly associate with the late artist, nine times out of ten it would be the 1984 […]

Prince transformed the landscape of popular music. It feels unworthy to simply call him a ‘pop star’. Not only did Prince Rogers Nelson span and brilliantly fuse a range of musical genres to create some of the most unique and timeless compositions in the history of popular song, but he transcended his field. He influenced the spheres of music, […]

It’s a puzzle doing the rounds, with the real possibility increasing by the game.

A form of justice we can believe in. Judge Jonathan Durham Hall QC has gained our respect this week by showing an admirable level of empathy towards a teenage survivor of underage sexual abuse. He was presiding over a case involving a 15-year-old girl who had stabbed a 56-year-old man five months previously. He had sexually abused her when she […]

Why didn’t they just release this beauty as their official away kit? Let’s face it – the official Germany change kit for the forthcoming European Championships is rank awful.

Bitter much? Cesc Fabregas used to be the darling of the Arsenal faithful but nothing could be further from the truth these days.

What a night. Coming from behind again and again, Liverpool somehow managed one of the all-time great European comebacks in their 4-3 home victory over Borussia Dortmund at Anfield.

Is he having a laugh? Ahead of Manchester City’s Champions League quarter-final second-leg against PSG, one of their all-time greatest players made something of a ludicrous statement about the level of popularity they enjoy.

Sergio Aguero from the spot – you’d put your house on it. Sadly for Man City fans, the mercurial Argentinian striker missed a vital penalty after half an hour of their Champions League game with PSG.
