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 […]

Cris Cyborg is set to take on Leslie Smith in her UFC debut in Curitiba, but she has another American in her sights. Cyborg, real name Cristiane Justino, claims she has “unfinished” history with Ronda Rousey, even if she doesn’t hate the former bantamweight title-holder. And the Brazilian, who is expected to up her fight […]

Frank de Boer might be among the favourites for the Everton job, but Jamie Carragher thinks another man would be ideal for the Toffees. The boyhood Everton fan and former Liverpool captain thinks Roberto Mancini could be the perfect fit for the Merseyside club, who have parted ways with Roberto Martinez after a run of […]

Double swoop?

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 […]

While few expected Leicester City to win the Premier League, there weren’t many as confident as Devan Slater that they wouldn’t achieve the feat. Or even come close. Back on January 9th, with Claudio Ranieri’s team sitting second in the league after three games without a win, Slater was supremely confident that the Foxes would be […]

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 3pm […]

For many it’s the most hotly anticipated fight in boxing, but it’s still some way from being confirmed. Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez took care of Amir Khan with a devastating knockout at the T-Mobile Arena on Saturday, and fans from across the globe are calling for the Mexican’s next fight to be against big-hitting Kazakh Gennady […]

Wes Morgan’s fingerprints are yet to rub off the Premier League trophy, but one of his Leicester City team-mates is already looking forward to next season’s title challenge. Jamie Vardy has top-scored for the Foxes en route to his Football Writers’ Player of the Year award, and wants to make sure Claudio Ranieri’s team are […]

The Football Federation of Kosovo has seen its application to join UEFA approved by the European football governing body. Kosovo is recognised by more than 100 countries but is not a UN member, and its national football team has only played in non-FIFA or non-UEFA competitions. This has meant a number of footballers of Kosovar extraction, […]

You can forgive Leicester City fans for getting a little carried away after their title win, Tottenham’s draw with Chelsea left Claudio Ranieri’s team seven points clear with two games remaining, and fans and players alike celebrated wildly. It probably wasn’t the ideal time for anyone to suffer from the combination of (a) being in […]

Everton went into the January transfer window with gaps to fill in their squad, so Roberto Martinez’s decision to put the bulk of their budget towards a non-playing striker doesn’t look too smart on reflection. Martinez sanctioned a €17m move for Oumar Niasse, but the Senegal striker had managed just 16 Premier League minutes before […]

Football offers its very own Prince tribute. West Bromwich Albion are partying like it’s 1999. Remember 1999? Manchester United were winning the treble, the Backstreet Boys were top of the charts with ‘I Want it That Way’ and people could still get justifiably angry if you spoiled The Sixth Sense for them. Remember? Jonathan Leko doesn’t. Because […]
