All hail the orb. There are plenty of people who have compared Donald Trump to Lex Luthor – but now he looks like he’s hit peak supervillian aesthetic. On his current state visit to Saudi Arabia, Trump was photographed Saudi King Salman and Egyptian President Abdel Fatah al-Sissi, all touching a glowing orb in the […]

What a hero. Typically, at the final home fixture of the season, teams will do a lap of honour and applaud the fans. And ok, a sixth place finish for Manchester United might not be the biggest thing to celebrate (though there might a Europa League trophy to come) – but for one young United […]

One of his players, Augusto Lima, recently became a father, and missed some vital play-off series matches.

What’s the most vain and egotistical thing you could imagine having a tattoo of? Most footballers just have the names of their kids, or some tribal designed tattooed on them if they have any ink. But Leroy Sané has something quite different. As he took his shirt off following Manchester City’s 5-0 victory over Watford, […]

Feel old? Manchester United youngster Angel Gomes made Premier League history today when he came on to replace Wayne Rooney in the 88th minute of today’s 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace. The attacking midfielder is now United’s youngest ever player aged just 16 years and 263 days. But even more impressively, he also becomes the […]

Well, this is embarrassing. Despite its size, India is not really a big name in world football. So the fact that their Under 17s side beat Italy 2-0 on Friday should be a cause for celebration. According to the Hindustan Times, many Indian celebrities took to Twitter to congratulate the team, and the website of […]

Beats writing essays. It’s the time of when students have to hand in their final dissertations and papers. And if you’re currently getting incredibly stress trying to finish your work – or you have bad memories of when you did – you probably will be a bit jealous of Obasi Shaw. Harvard student Shaw didn’t […]

So awkward. Donald Trump is currently making an official visit to Saudi Arabia. While the whole idea of the trip has raised eyebrows, one little GIF has really captured people’s imaginations: a short clip of White House Chief Strategist (and former chairman of the right-wing Breitbart News) Steve Bannon, surrounded by Saudis in traditional dress.

It will give you nightmares. Vince Cable has revealed the Liberal Democrats new campaign poster, and well, it’s certainly something.

What you need is strong and stable leadership. You’re probably finding General Election fatigue is setting around now. Whatever you think about politics, there’s just too much spin, too many opinions and too many stories to keep track of. Thank god for the memes then. pic.twitter.com/qWFbHKexXn — Tory Jesus (@Tory__Jesus) May 17, 2017 The […]

People are freaking out. First there was The Dress. Now there is ‘Wall or River’. As reported by Buzzfeed, on Thursday a German app called Jodel upload a photo of bench in a park to their Facebook. It seems innocent on first glance. But then here’s the question – is it a photo of a […]

80s kids will be excited about this one. 1982’s The Dark Crystal is an incredible achievement. It saw Muppet’s creator Jim Henson attempt to move away from colorful comedy and create a serious Lord of the Rings style fantasy adventure – all with his trademark puppets, and no on-screen humans. It was creepy and exciting, […]

Let’s say you work in a print shop. Someone comes in, and want’s something horrible and racist printed up. What do you do? Play dumb, and take their money? Or do you stand up on principle, and refuse them? This person had a third, even better response. Someone asked them to print ‘1488’ on some […]

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has without a doubt the biggest achievement in blockbuster filmmaking in decades – just remember how excited you were when Nick Fury popped up after the credits of Iron Man, and how incredible the idea of an Avengers film seemed then.

Spoilers for Master of None season 2, obviously. Have you watched season 2 of Master Of None yet? The second series of Aziz Ansari’s masterful comedy drama dropped on Netflix this weekend, and is somehow even better than the first.

Hidey ho! One of the first things that made us notice that South Park wasn’t a conventional TV show was when in their first season Christmas episode, they introduced Mr Hankey – a recurring character that was literally a piece of talking poo. Mr Hankey has gone on to be a beloved part of the […]

The Pengest PM? 23 year old Elijah Quashie – aka The Chicken Connoisseur – hit national fame last year when his YouTube series reviewing London’s fried chicken shops blew up.

Could this be the best game of the season? What do you think are the greatest comebacks in history of football? Barcelona coming back from 4-0 against PSG this year?

Jose Mourinho’s latest signing?

Agony, ecstasy and Joey Barton. This weekend is the fifth anniversary of arguably the great game – and definitely the most memorable three minutes – in Premier League history. If you don’t remember, this is how went down: On final day, both Manchester clubs could still win the title, but it was in City’s hands […]

A really great move. A team’s shirt sponsor is an iconic part of any classic kit. Just think of Liverpool and Carlsberg, Manchester United and Sharp, or Arsenal and JVC. Southampton are currently sponsored by Virgin Media – but for their home game again Man Utd on Wednesday night they with be ditching that logo […]

Check the numberplates. As the General Election season lumber on, we’re treated to many of the predictable campaign trail clichés that the candidates inevitably roll out.

But is he going to voice Wade Wilson? Deadpool was the surprise superhero smash of last year. The (relatively) low budget, R-rated X-Men spin-off appealed to the teenage boy in audiences the world over, and turned the former cult character into a household name. A sequel to that movie is on its way (a sneak […]

In South Korean politics, you win or you die. According to Theresa May, the general election is the most important vote for the UK in ages.

From silly meme to hate symbol. Back in the late 00s, Pepe the Frog was just an innocent meme, clogging up message boards and the like as a dumb joke. But a lot can happen in a decade. The character was originally created by cartoonist Matt Furie as part of the cast of his Boy’s […]

Grab your muumuu and fat guy hat. There have have been many, many Simpsons games over the years – but generally most of them have been pretty awful.
