“You’re an idiot.” It’s fair to say that Charlie Cotton is not Conor McGregor’s favourite reporter. Cotton was trailing McGregor ahead of his UFC 196 clash with Nate Diaz and asked the Dubliner about a supposed “racially motivated” slur against his opponent. The reporter followed up a question about his opponents ‘running scared’ by asking McGregor […]

Be vigilant. There’s a Facebook scam doing the rounds that targets users’ PayPal accounts, with police warning people to be careful.

Feast your eyes on these. The first official photos from Season 6 of Game of Thrones have just been released on the series’ Facebook page, and to say we’re excited is an understatement. Is that Bran standing? Is Margaery still banged up? And what exactly is Melisandre still doing at Castle Black? She couldn’t be… […]

The similarity is freaking us out a little bit. Our cousins over the water at Her.ie shared this Funny or Die spoof as Johnny Depp takes on the role of Donald Trump. The short movie is based on Trump’s book The Art of the Deal and is utterly brilliant, from Ron Howard’s introduction onwards. Featuring cameos from […]

Hours and hours of fun. We’d like to thank JOE reader Noel Lackey Jr. for turning our attention to Frinkiac.com, a website that helps you to find screengrabs for ANY quote from The Simpsons. For instance, we typed in ‘get the hell out of here’ to test it and, lo and behold, it came straight […]

Fashion photographers are none too happy after 16-year-old Brooklyn Beckham was employed to shoot a campaign for Burberry.

Across the Atlantic, he’d be known as a douchebag. Richard Keys is still bitter about his Sky Sports exit, describing his sacking alongside Andy Gray as ‘one of the biggest carve-ups in TV history.’ The broadcaster was, of course, shown the door for making sexist remarks about match official Sian Massey as well as a number […]

We know he’s good, but he’s surely no Robbie Fowler… Any Liverpool supporters out there will know that Robbie Fowler was God, but Joe Allen as his son? That was a new one on us. The Welsh Xavi/Pirlo scored the opener against Exeter City in the FA Cup Third Round replay at Anfield tonight, and […]

Well, this is one of the stranger videos we’ve seen. Comedian Jena Friedman sat down with notorious former prosecutor Ken Kratz for Vice News and began with the following question, “Do you understand how much of a piece of sh*t you are?” and things just got stranger from there.

West Ham United striker Diafra Sakho was left unhurt after driving his Lamborghini into a wall and a car in London on Monday night. Not only that, but the wall and vehicle he drove into were apparently those of a West Ham United fan, Sophie Engstrom. Sakho, currently out injured, did not suffer any extra trauma […]

We know Manchester United have been a bit crap this season, but this might be a bit harsh. Anthony Martial was easily the best player against Liverpool in an absolute stinker of a match at Anfield on Sunday. But if Pat Nevin of the BBC’s analysis is to be believed, the Frenchman’s contribution to the game was less than […]

Gary Neville will have loved this. Alvaro Negredo is a name familiar to Premier League supporters, but this effort eclipses anything he produced during his time in England. The ex-Man City striker scored one of the goals of the season against Rayo Vallecano on Sunday. The Valencia attacker chased down a Rayo defender, robbed him of the […]

Foul… no it’s a throw… no it’s a corner… no it’s a goal-kick… no it’s a substitution… As it turned out, it was a penalty in the dying moments of the League One clash between Peterborough and Southend United, presumably because the referee decided to overrule his assistant on 80% of his decisions. Some wag […]

Matthew Perry was talking about Friends on The Graham Norton Show  where it was confirmed that he never worked as a transponster.
