If Newcastle United keep hold of Rafa Benitez despite their relegation, it would be an absolutely massive coup.

When it comes to the best football kits around, you usually can’t go wrong with the big Italian clubs. There’s something about vertical black stripes and classic colour combinations that is just an all-round winner. It works for Juventus, it works for Milan, and it definitely works for Inter. Roberto Mancini has returned the Nerazzuri to European […]

Leicester’s unexpected title win has been a victory not just for the club, but for the entire city. Not only have the club secured their first ever top-flight title, but they’ve done so by a margin of 10 points – more than Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea team managed in 2014/15. And fans were out in force […]

Thanks to Sunday’s bomb scare at Old Trafford, the Premier League season will finish two days later than planned. We all know by now that, despite early and unfounded rumours of a terrorist threat, the abandonment of Manchester United’s game against Bournemouth was due to a prop left over from a training exercise. The other […]

Marc Diakiese might just be 23 years old, but he’s already carving out a reputation for himself as a very tidy mixed martial artist. The Doncaster fighter was 8-0-0 (3 KOs) going into Saturday’s Lonsdale British Lightweight Championship fight at BAMMA 25, but the bout with Kane Mousah was over in a flash. Mousah was unbeaten before […]

First of all, if you’re still paying attention to your fantasy football team then well done. Most of us either gave up in September, gave up at Christmas, or never bothered to begin with because we knew we’d just give up in September or at Christmas. But for the brave few who have stuck it […]

Frank de Boer might be among the favourites for the Everton job, but Jamie Carragher thinks another man would be ideal for the Toffees.

Luis Suarez is still hugely popular among Liverpool fans despite leaving the club for Barcelona in 2014. The Uruguayan, who top-scored for the Reds in his final Premier League season, has scored a remarkable 56 goals in just 51 games this season. But despite going on to bigger and better things since leaving Anfield, many […]

The Championship play-off final is often described as the richest game in football. That moniker is especially accurate this season, with an increased Premier League purse awaiting whichever team joins Burnley and Middlesbrough in the top flight. That means referees will be under the microscope more than usual, and Andre Marriner felt the brunt of the […]

Upon leaving the Boleyn Ground for the last time, West Ham United fans were gripped by a new, alien feeling – not knowing what to expect next. There has always been a sense that a few things will remain constant. The false hope, the emergence of youngsters, and the familiar walk to the stadium for 3:00 […]

Back in January, you probably didn’t expect Leicester City to win the Premier League. You probably didn’t even expect them to finish in the top four, after a goalless draw with Bournemouth had them seven points ahead of fifth-placed Manchester United with 18 games remaining. Still, you probably wouldn’t have pledged to get the words […]
