Could Pep Guardiola be the next Arsenal Manager? Sport News 24/7 Pep Guardiola revealed this week that he would like to manage in the Premier League after leaving Bayern Munich at the end of the season. Notorious for only signing short-term contracts, the former Barcelona boss told current employers Bayern that he would not extend his contract in Germany when it expires at the end of this season. Guardiola, 44, has been linked heavily with various Premier League clubs Manchester...

Sport News 24/7 By Billy Stephens  @BillyLaughs  @TLE_Sport In their last two games, against Chelsea and Swansea City, Manchester United have shown much more attacking intent than previously seen under Louis van Gaal this season.  The Dutchman is seemingly attempting to adapt his tactical approach to be more like the traditional style of play expected by the Old Trafford faithful. Van Gaal's style of football is usually patient, possession-based and low risk.  This is emphasised by Manchester United having kept...

Sport News 24/7 By David de Winter - Sports Editor @davidjdewinter  @TLE_Sport It’s been a funny old season in the Premier League – certainly the most topsy-turvy I can remember.  And whilst the English leagues eschew a winter break, TLE Sport has opted for the continental approach and taken a few weeks off (although it is debatable whether it will improve its performance in the second half of the season).  Thoroughly unrefreshed and rather too full of Christmas cheer, here’s...

Sport News 24/7 By Sean Simara  @Sean_FootyMad  @TLE_Sport As we head into the Christmas period in the NFL, we’re starting to see who the potential Super Bowl candidates are.  But who have had breakout years?  Who's been disappointing this season?  It's now time to get down to the nitty-gritty and take a look at some of the NFL’s star names. We know this is a quarterback league, but the next most talked about position is the ones who catch the...

Sport News 24/7 By Billy Stephens  @BillyLaughs  @TLE_Sport If you were watching Leicester City's 2-1 victory over reigning champions Chelsea on Monday night, you could be forgiven for thinking you were watching a version of 80’s comedy classic Trading Places.  If you're unfamiliar with the movie another, perhaps more appropriate analogy would be Mark Twain's The Prince and the Pauper. This time last year Chelsea were top of the table and Leicester were rock bottom.  What a difference a year...

AFC Wimbledon have been granted permission to return to Plough Lane in a landmark decision by the local council. The area was the home of Wimbledon FC until 1991 when the Taylor Report demanded all-seater stadiums for top-flight clubs, a decision which led to a groundshare with Crystal Palace and triggered a long-winded demise for the South West club who were relegated from the FA Premier League in 2001. After drawn out consultations to move the club back home the...

Sport News 24/7 By Sean Simara  @Sean_FootyMad  @TLE_Sport The undefeated Carolina Panthers are without a doubt the surprise package of the season in the NFL, in my view at least.  The Panthers are the last team to remain unbeaten and Cam Newton is playing MVP football.  But are they really being respected by the league?  Are they really that good or will they just fall at the first hurdle in the play-offs? Let's have a little look – and there's...

Sport News 24/7 By Billy Stephens  @BillyLaughs  @TLE_Sport At the start of the season most pundits tipped Tottenham to finish fifth or sixth, with a few tipping them to push for a Champion's League spot but nothing more.  Now however, after a club record 14 Premier League games unbeaten, people are starting to ask if Spurs can challenge for the title. Head Coach Mauricio Pochettino has publicly played down their chances of winning the league, but one would imagine that...

Sport News 24/7 By Abeer Sharma  @abizzle1991 @TLE_Sport Listen carefully in L4 and you might find that the lark has starting to sing its sweet silver song once again.  He may not quite be the messiah (witness Sunday’s dreadful defeat at Newcastle), but the appointment of Jurgen Klopp has given rise to an irresistible sense of optimism which has already reaped rewards on the pitch with 7 games won and 2 lost in 12 matches.  Here is how Herr Klopp...
