Sport News 24/7 By David de Winter – Sports Editor @davidjdewinter @TLE_Sport When Mauricio Pochettino was poached from Southampton to become the new manager of Tottenham Hotspur, there were coos of appreciation from all sides.  After guiding a very talented and aesthetically pleasing Saints side to 8th in the Premier League last season, the general consensus was that the Argentinian would finally get Spurs playing in their traditional swashbuckling style à la the great Bill Nicholson, Terry Venables and, to...

By Harry Bedford, Entertainment Editor The civil rights movement and popular music were married together back in the 1950s and 1960s. Artists such as Sam Cooke singing 'A Change is Gonna Come’ and Bob Dylan singing ‘The Times they are a-changing’ were hugely significant at the time. So it makes sense that a musical, set in Memphis, about the integration of black and white culture would work. Memphis tells the story of the over-confident, under-educated young white man Huey, played...

By Joshua Neil from London's survival guide BrokeinLondon.com The products you need to live and survive day-to-day in London can be expensive no matter where you go: supermarkets, shops, or markets.

The Mayor of London's office has skirted big questions over the financing of the 2014 New Year's Eve fireworks display after a Freedom of Information request into the matter bore little fruit. Plans were announced late in September to ticket the event to control crowds after an estimated 500,000 people turned up to watch last year. Tickets have gone on sale at £10 each and will be sold to 100,000 people, bringing in a significant amount of cash for an event...

By Chris Tate, Music Reporter A lot has changed in the last six years. For Jackson Browne, things are all too similar to how they were 50 years ago. Love, hate and conflict has always dominated his music, and his latest offering, Standing in the Breach, touches on all these points. It seems all too easy for an experienced artist to slip into the retirement era of their music. Where there was once hits and inspiration, there sits uninspiring album...

Sport News 24/7 By Jim Mackney @JimMackney @TLE_Sport It was the 18th of October 2014.  There was a bubbling sense of excitement, the smell of hotdogs and flat Carlsberg filled the air along with the sound of a few thousand shuffling feet; the customary swell of noise as the players emerged from the tunnel...
