Brilliant. Now there’s no way we’re going to make any aspersions whatsoever. But suffice to say that this isn’t James Nesbitt at his coherent best. Ahead of Saturday night’s big boxing match between Carl Frampton and Scott Quigg, the popular actor was accosted by the television cameras for his views. Flanked by celebrated pal Tony […]

Is long-awaited glory just around the corner? To say Everton are the sleeping giants of English football is an understatement.

But whilst the others have enjoyed relative success in recent decades (or in the […]

We’ll be honest with you – we couldn’t really give a f*ck. The Geordie lass from Girls Aloud is seeing him from One Direction. Good for them and all that but, well, whatever. There’s an age difference apparently and that’s somehow newsworthy. But what did tickle us was what passes for modern romance between today’s celeb types. […]

It might seem like a completely innocent comment, but when someone connected to Real Madrid starts to compliment a player, it very often means that a move for that player is being prepared. We’ve seen it before with David Beckham. We’ve seen it before with Cristiano Ronaldo. More recently, we’ve seen it with Gareth Bale. […]

Have you ever noticed how strikingly similar Donald Trump’s eyes are to his mouth? Of course you haven’t, you were too busy looking at his hair.

Hard work pays off. Conor McGregor is certainly talking a good game in the run-up to his showdown with Nate Diaz at UFC 196 next weekend, but he’s well able to back it up too. In the wake of his 13-second KO of Jose Aldo in December, McGregor famously spoke of his belief that timing […]

It’s a shirt of two halves, Saint… We’ve had a few cheeky peeks at what Man United’s home kit will look like next season, but new images have emerged of what look like photographs of actual manufactured shirts.

Louis van Gaal may not have got everything right at Manchester United, but he certainly knows the importance of sticking it to Liverpool in one of the club’s biggest rivalries.

By his own admission, Memphis Depay hasn’t shown his best in a Manchester United shirt.
