There’s good news and there’s bad news. The good news – for Spurs fans at least – is that the Brazilian media claim talks will commence this week to negotiate Alexandre Pato’s transfer from Corinthians to the North London club. The bad news is that talks are being led by Pato’s representative – the one and only Kia […]

Foo Fighters have revealed a new, free EP and asked for fans to donate money to the victims of the Paris terror attacks. The band have been working on the album since October 2014, before Dave Grohl broke his leg, but the frontman has said the tracks have taken on a different tone since the […]

Former Arsenal captain Thierry Henry has chosen a fellow Frenchman as his signing of the season. Henry says that West Ham have done the best business of all the Premier League teams this year by snatching up Dimitri Payet from Marseille over the summer. The French international has been a key reason behind West Ham’s best […]

There’s something very watchable about this Coca-Cola endorsing polar bear. We don’t know an awful lot of the details about this video, but it’s almost certainly Christmas related. The seven foot polar bear (which we refuse to believe is a man in a suit) can be seen thoroughly enjoying himslef as he poses for photographs with people. […]

In the wake of Liverpool’s 4-1 victory at the Etihad, Raheem Sterling’s name has been mentioned a fair bit. Having played against his former side for the first time, there were plenty of ‘Raheem, what’s the score?’ chants directed at him from the away end in the game’s closing stages. Very few were expecting Liverpool’s […]

After arriving in summer, it’s safe to say that Roberto Firmino took a while to find his feet at Liverpool. In Brendan Rodgers’ final weeks at the club, the Brazilian regularly struggled to recreate the form that had seen his new club pay Hoffenheim around £30m to bring him to Anfield. His performance against Manchester […]

How do you celebrate equalling Ruud van Nistelrooy’s Premier League goalscoring record? If you’re Jamie Vardy, you brush off the achievement and start looking forward to beers on the bus home.

It’s funny to think that the name Anthony Martial meant so little to Manchester United supporters just a few months ago. After a debut goal against Liverpool, the young Frenchman has quickly become a fan-favourite at Old Trafford, adding more goals in the performances that have followed. Although the injury he sustained against England at […]

In the aftermath of the Paris attacks, Anonymous have been redoubling their efforts in their cyber-war with ISIS.

Before anyone starts to read too deeply into the following, it’s worth remembering that Nostradamus made thousands upon thousands of predictions during his lifetime, meaning his track record isn’t actually that great.
