England and the West Indies clash in the third and final test at the home of English cricket tomorrow. The second test at Headingley produced a hugely entertaining match that was eventually won by the tourists, after an inspired batting display from Kraigg Braithwaite and young Shai Hope. This victory for the Windies came as a surprise after they were torn apart in Edgbaston, losing 19 wickets in a day to lose by an innings and 209 runs. This sets...

Tottenham have enjoyed an underwhelming start to the new season. A 2-0 gift over Newcastle on the opening weekend courtesy of Jonjo Shelvey at St James Park was soon cancelled out by two lacklustre performances at the home of English football. The first home game saw last season’s top two clash, but Mauricio Pochettino’s side suffered defeat after a Marcus Alonso double resulting in a 2-1 win for the champions. Spurs looked to bounce back against an improving Burnley, but the Clarets...

Anthony Joshua’s next challenge has been revealed. On October 28, heavyweight champion Joshua will face Bulgarian Kubrat Pulev. Pulev is probably a boxer many British boxing fans will be unfamiliar with, but he certainly will be well known come October 28. The fight will take place in Cardiff, where Pulev will challenge for Joshua’s IBF, WBA and IBO heavyweight world titles. Nicknamed ‘The Cobra’, Pulev was born in Sofia, Bulgaria. The 36 year old was voted the country’s no 1...

Back in November 2016, as England prepared to face India in a tough test series, much had been anticipated about their new opener, Haseeb Hameed. The young Lancashire opener, who was just 19 when he made his debut, had showed a lot of promise at county level, scoring 1,129 runs, averaging 52 in the County Championship Division One that summer, meaning a lot was to be expected when he made is Test debut And he didn’t disappoint - scoring a...

Chefs used an astonishing 278kg of flour, 277kg of butter, 277kg of sugar and 4,443 eggs to create the record-breaking cake - shaped as a football.

A huge 285kg! #swfc #swfc150." The...

Gareth Southgate’s England face a huge challenge tonight when they host Slovakia - their biggest threat to automatic qualification to the 2018 Fifa World Cup. Southgate’s side have come under scrutiny following a below par performance against Malta on Friday night. A 4-0 victory doesn’t reflect how sloppy England were, with three goals in the final ten minutes overshadowing a frustrating night for England fans. England currently lead Group F by two points, ahead of tonight’s opponents, meaning victory at...

English football clubs spent a record £1.4 billion this transfer window, with £210 million was spent alone on deadline day - also a new record. This whopping amount of money spent by Premier League clubs could have been higher if a number of high profile signings had gone through. The likes of Alexis Sanchez, Virgil Van Dijk, Ross Barkley, Riyad Mahrez and Thomas Lemar, were all eager to move away from their clubs, but the eye-watering sums offered on these...

If ever an article didn’t need a title, this is one such occasion. Arsenal's problems are at once simple and complex, their descent from the top table has been a slow, painfully gradual affair which has kept alight the flame of hope in their supporters’ hearts. It feels like the walls have finally started to crumble. Arsenal’s transfer business has been a source of curiosity to all football fans for a number of years now. The spending was restricted with the...
