Conor McGregor has scribed a poignant tribute to the late Joao Carvalho. The Portuguese MMA fighter tragically passed away in Dublin following a Total Extreme Fighting event at the weekend. He fell ill shortly after being beaten by Charlie ‘The Hospital’ Ward, a team-mate of McGregor. The Irishman was ringside during the fight, and penned […]

At last a former Man United player has put his head above the parapet. You’ve probably noticed that most Old Trafford alumni fall into two distinct but very conservative camps: those who stress Louis van Gaal needs to be given more time, and those who pledge allegiance to Ryan Giggs. These may be their genuine opinions […]

Purchasing tickets for your favourite band can be a nightmare. As soon as lines of purchase are open, official distributors are inundated with throngs of feverish fans all competing for their place at the go-to gig. Quite often servers go down, you’re put in a queue, and before you know it, all dates are sold out. […]

It is good to see that he is getting the help that he needs. Jake Lloyd, the former child actor who played the younger version of Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, has been diagnosed with schizophrenia whilst serving time in prison. The 27-year-old was arrested for reckless driving, driving without a license, […]

When it comes to keeping yourself clean in the nether regions, it’s a simple case of soaping up in the shower, right? Wrong, according to this innovation in male grooming. Apparently the secret to a hygienic cock and balls is a dedicated brush. And it’s to do with your little chap’s hoodie apparently. Scottish company Wills […]

Has a referee’s assistant ever been this pumped for a game? It was remarkable to see Eddie Smart mentally ready himself for Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United on Sunday afternoon. We thought Gary Neville was intense before a game, but he’s got nothing on this highly-strung lino. Smart was assisting match referee Mike Dean for […]

Howard Marks, or ‘Mr Nice’, has passed away. The former drugs smuggler turned much loved author/raconteur died at his home near Bridgend in South Wales. He was diagnosed with inoperable bowel cancer a year ago. Marks became something of an unlikely celebrity when he released his best-selling autobiography, Mr Nice, in 1996. The book detailed his colourful life as […]

England’s Danny Willett wins the Masters on -5. It’s been an engrossing Masters 2016 at Augusta, with incredible technique and nerve on show, as well as one of the most sensational holes-in-one you will ever witness. If you think it was difficult to watch as an avid fan, imagine what it was like for the […]

Holy crap it actually works! You see plot-defying cliches in the movies all the time and more often than not you dismiss them as Hollywood b*llocks. However, it seems that this big screen trope in particular is a real life saver. It may sound like pure make-believe, but three stranded castaways were rescued from a desert island by spelling […]

It was John Lennon who pithily remarked: “Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.” In so many ways that poignant sentiment is only too true. So often we forget ourselves in a tunnel vision of reality whilst amazing things are happening in the periphery of our consciousness. It’s as apt in football as […]

It turns out Victoria Beckham is something of a medical marvel. Either that or somebody had an absolute shocker in attempting to touch her up for this snap for Chinese Vogue. The mother of four (and wife of David) is something of fashion icon these days, but this attempt at a professional photoshop isn’t very chic […]

Bless his cotton socks. For many there are three main reasons for wanting Leicester City to win the Premier League crown this season: They are far more preferable to the other viable options, who have many more natural enemies as far as rival fans go; They have played with a verve and style that has been […]

Kickoff for the televised game between Tottenham Hotspur and Man United has been delayed. The game was due to start at 4pm on Sunday afternoon, but due to the visitors being stuck in traffic, the match is expected to be delayed by at least 15 minutes. United fans can confirm that it isn’t the first time […]

What a wonderfully talented young man. You can say what you like about Kanye West – and many do – but few can deny the rapper’s back catalogue is a truly sensational canon of work. There’s a reason why he has an ego the size of Canada – it’s because he has the talent to […]

Ah the dreams they must have had for an idyllic life together. Sadly it didn’t work out for Ashley Cole and then Cheryl Tweedy of Girls Aloud fame, but the house they bought together in those halcyon days is now up for sale. And f*ck me, it’s a rare old pile of bricks. The Surrey […]

We know Borussia Dortmund were pre-match favourites but this is ridiculous. Liverpool enjoyed an excellent first-half in Germany as they kept Europa League foes Dortmund at bay, and their tenacious striker Divock Origi thrilled the visiting fans by scoring a vital away goal in the 36th minute. But it seems the surprise scoreline was all […]

It was billed as a Borussia Dortmund/Liverpool Football Club love-in. The return of Jurgen Klopp to his old club in Thursday’s Europa League tie was always bound to be an emotional affair and most of the respective supporters were intent on enjoying the occasion. But one Liverpool fan shamed the Premier League club and embarrassed […]

You’ve got to love Ian Brown. He’s adored around the world and yet remains refreshingly unaffected. We mean he’s certainly cocky, outspoken and sometimes brash, but that was always the case, even before the Stone Roses made it big. Essentially he’s the same old talented scally from Timperley way. Ian, John, Mani and Reni are currently resident in […]

How can someone be so cruel? Far too many people love to stigmatise refugees, dehumanising them as opportunistic migrants or worse, a threat to our way of life. This ignores the fact that they are loathed to leave their homes and communities, but have little option when faced with tyranny and persecution. Children in particular […]

Anyone with kids can sympathise with this fed-up parent. Ask any child what they’d like to do on a spare afternoon, and more often than not they’ll suggest a trip to the cinema. Unfortunately it’s hardly a cheap affair, especially if you’re taking more than one sprog. And it does seem that cinemas are increasingly taking […]

Rush hour traffic and this swan couldn’t give a flying f*ck.

This looks hilarious, if somewhat familiar. We’ve already had The Hangover, The Hangover Part II, and who can forget the imaginatively titled The Hangover Part III? But now there’s a new kid on the lost-somewhere-and-hilarity-ensues genre – The Hangover Part IV Search Party. We’re slightly reticent to call it “the thinking man’s Hangover”, partly because, if a […]

The whole Trump dynasty is something to behold. Whilst power-hungry demagogue Donald Trump talks about building a giant wall between Mexico and the US, and banning all Muslims from entering the country “until we figure things out”, ex-wife Ivana Trump has leant her support to the Republican hopeful, with similarly ill-conceived comments. The 67-year-old former model was born in Czechoslovakia, […]

This is vile. Jamie Vardy has many admirers; it’s also true that he’s not exactly everyone’s cup of tea. That’s all well and good and everyone is entitled to their opinion. Most footballers get their fair share of adulation and abuse, and Vardy is more divisive than most. But when players’ loved ones get caught up […]

We’ve all bin there. Jack Wilshere is not Mr Clean Cut, nor has he ever claimed to be.

The Arsenal midfielder, who still hopes […]

Well this is a very canny bit of marketing if nothing else.

A decent man in the dark, murky world. Netflix’ seminal Making A Murderer was a gripping watch. There is something about the tangled web of crime, corruption and courtroom intrigue that draws us in, and has each of us playing detective to solve the unsolvable. Part of the attraction (probably the wrong word for a murder case) is the […]

We wish Bill Murray was our real dad.

If you’re casting an advert for “warm” and “friendly” northern folk – preferably “proper working-class people” – then you’d assume Liverpool would be a good place to start, no? Wrong!

Game Of Thrones earns rave reviews and is regularly decorated with various accolades – but it is not without its fierce critics.
