We’re starting to think Sunderland were subliminally influenced by that ice cream van stuck on the M6. Fabio Borini has returned to Wearside on a permanent deal from Liverpool, and the Dick Advocaat-managed club have not covered themselves with glory when it comes to hashtagging. Sitting halfway between simplicity and laboured pun, it somehow fails […]

Living legend Raul is used to playing in front of the biggest and most passionate crowds around. The former Real Madrid golden boy has played in countless Clasicos, won the Champions League final at the Amsterdam Arena and Hampden Park, and represented Spain at three World Cups. But these days the 38-year-old doesn’t draw quite the same audience. […]

We probably shouldn’t be surprised by anything Aleksandar Mitrovic does any more. The Newcastle striker showed up for international duty with Serbia in attire that you could probably describe as ‘creative’. It’s a little different from stylish team-mates Florian Thauvin and Chancel Mbemba, that’s for sure. Mitrovic arriving for training in Serbia, as you do […]

Manchester United’s wait for a striker could be over, with the French FA giving Anthony Martial permission to speak to the Premier League club. Martial, 19, had linked up with Les Bleus after playing for Monaco in their defeat to Paris Saint-Germain. FFF Statement: "Didier Deschamps has given him (Martial) authorisation to go to Manchester […]

Manchester United’s search for firepower up front might require them to let players go in order to bring in who they really want. Adnan Januzaj was left out of the squad for United’s defeat at Swansea amid injury rumours, but now it has emerged that the Belgian international may be on his way to Borussia […]

Dejan Lovren’s performance against West Ham probably wasn’t his worst in a Liverpool shirt, but it was down there. The Croatian was at fault for the visitors’ second goal and was generally run ragged by Manuel Lanzini as the Reds slipped to their first home defeat against the Hammers in more than 50 years. Lovren […]

Jack Black versus the abominable snowman is this generation’s Tyson v Holyfield. The King Kong actor will star as cult author R. L. Stine in the film adaptation of Stine’s Goosebumps books, and the new extended trailer gives us a pretty good idea of what to expect. If you like werewolves, runaway ferris wheels and murderous […]

Manchester United are clearly in need of a new striker or two, and bookmakers seem to think they’ll be staying close to home for their next signing. Bookmakers have slashed the odds on Charlie Austin moving to Old Trafford before the end of the transfer window, with the QPR striker odds-on with several sportsbooks to […]

Kendrick Lamar must be stopped. We know you’re supposed to play up to your audience in a foreign country, but the rapper might have taken it too far at the Reading festival. During his Sunday night set, Lamar compared Reading to his hometown of Compton, drawing parallels between the two towns for their “live, live, […]

Chelsea have not given up hope of signing Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba, but the France international is unlikely to leave Turin this summer. The Blues are prepared to up their bid for the former Manchester United player to £69m to help combat their disappointing start to the Premier League season. But according to The Sun, Pogba […]

Next time someone tells you fans are never going to warm to MLS, show them this. Seattle Sounders’ game against the Portland Timbers drew a crowd of more than 64,000 – some 14,000 more than the Premier League’s best-attended fixture at St James’ Park. If that many will turn out to watch the likes of […]

We get the impression Atletico Madrid fans won’t have any trouble warming to Jackson Martinez. The Colombia striker joined the Spanish club after being watched by the likes of Arsenal and AC Milan, and he’s wasted little time making an impression. His first goal for Atleti will take some beating – he’d been on the […]

You come at the king, you best not miss. Louis van Gaal is clearly sick of being asked about David De Gea, and it seems the latest efforts to make him budge on the subject of his wantaway goalkeeper were the final straw. After the latest round of questioning, the Manchester United boss looked like […]

If anyone knows about challenging for the Premier League title, it’s Gary Neville. The former Manchester United captain has eight league winner’s medals to his name, so his words will hurt fans of his former club to the core. Speaking on Sky Sports after United’s defeat to Swansea, Neville admitted that he does not look at the […]

With all the talk of footballers caring more about their club than their country, you might think some would almost take offence at an England call-up. But it’s refreshing to see some show genuine pride at being named in the squad, as was the case with Jack Butland. Butland has been in and out of […]

Any Lyon fans licking their wounds after the departure of Clinton N’Jie to Tottenham will be back in good spirits now. Claudio Beauvue signed for the French club before N’Jie’s move to England, but the Frenchman will likely fill the role vacated by Spurs’ big money arrival. The ex-Guingamp striker has already fired home a […]

After four successive Serie A titles, it seems things aren’t going all Juventus’ way at the start of the new campaign. Last season saw the Bianconeri start off with an eight-match unbeaten run, seven of them wins, before suffering their first defeat of the season in late October and not losing again until April. But after falling to Udinese […]

WINNERS Alan Pardew After months if not years as a figure of hatred at Newcastle, Pardew looks to have found a proper home at Crystal Palace. The win at Chelsea showed the best of the club’s old and new guard, with Bakary Sako continuing to impress and Yannick Bolasie continuing to offer a real threat under […]

They say never meet your heroes, but don’t tell that to this young Swansea fan. The mascot was lining up alongside Swans captain Ashley Williams when suddenly it dawned on him who was standing just a few feet away. He’s clearly a Wayne Rooney fan, and if there’s one thing better to spotting one of […]

Arsenal continued their recovery from their opening day loss, taking all three points at St James’ Park thanks to Newcastle captain Fabricio Coloccini’s own goal. The Magpies’ challenging start to the season continued, though, and they were dealt a further blow with Aleksandar Mitrovic picking up an early red card. It leaves Steve McClaren’s side just […]

Newcastle striker Aleksandar Mitrovic arrived on Tyneside with a reputation for a short fuse, and that has come to the fore already. The Serbian striker was booked in the opening minute of his debut for the club and was lucky not to be dismissed against Southampton. It was only a matter of time before he […]

Newcastle fans might lament the lack of style ever since Yohan Cabaye left in 2014, but it looks like they have a couple of ready-made replacements. New arrival Florian Thauvin is already a fan favourite after scoring on his home debut against Northampton, and he endeared himself further to the Toon Army with his attire […]

Sometimes the oldest trick in the book is the last thing your opponents will suspect. Sir Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United team perfected the sneakiest of sneaky corner routines, having one player touch the ball so another can run forward from the corner flag and catch the defence unawares. But if you thought every team was […]

We don’t want to alarm you, but we’re a little scared by this new scientific research. Apparently bacon, as well as other processed meats, can make men less fertile. A study from Harvard T.H.

Celtic Park is known to have a particularly daunting atmosphere for away supporters, but Fenerbahce fans will claim it doesn’t come close to their Sukru Saracoglu Stadium. The two clubs were drawn together in the Europa League group stage, and many are already excited for both clashes between the teams. Already looking forward to broadcast journalists […]

If you thought this was over, you couldn’t be more wrong.

Sometimes managers’ interviews are a little too predictable. The same stock phrases crop up again and again, to the point that we begin realising they don’t actually make that much sense. We’re not the only ones to notice it. The Plain English Campaign, an independent group aiming at stamping out jargon in public communications, has found […]

It’s still early in the Premier League season, but we’re starting to see a few things begin to take shape. With the first international break coming up after this round of matches, all 20 teams will be keen to either right some early wrongs or just carry on doing what they’re doing. Here are a […]

Last week was a testing time for fantasy football fans. So many of us were left frustrated by Callum Wilson’s hat-trick away at West Ham, with more than 36,000 people leaving the Bournemouth man on their bench. That’s left a few people looking for a big week to help them bounce back, and our three […]

The draw for the Europa League has been completed, and there are testing times ahead for the three British sides still in the competition. Celtic arguably have the toughest task, with games against Robin van Persie’s Fenerbahce and Dutch runners-up Ajax, but both Liverpool and Spurs will also be up against teams with Champions League […]

Tottenham are attempting to make a real statement ahead of the new season, splashing out a reported £20m on Leverkusen striker Heung-Min Son. The South Korea international arrives with a solid goalscoring record, having hit double-figures in the last three Bundesliga seasons, but Spurs fans won’t want to get too carried away. CONFIRMED: Heung-Min Son […]

Odd Ballklubb goalkeeper Sondre Rossbach can be forgiven for shouting at his defenders after the Norwegian club’s Europa League defeat in Dortmund. After their 4-3 first-leg defeat, the Scandinavians shipped seven goals in the return game against one of the most deadly attacks in the competition. But you can’t really blame Norway Under-21 stopper Rossbach, […]
