This can’t be right…I’m looking forward to Newcastle’s season

Sport News 24/7 By Ian Carroll On May 24th 2015, Newcastle United limped, some would say un-deservedly past one of the least bothered Premier League (Best League in the World, AND IT’S LIVE etc etc) sides ever, to stay in the English First Division and avoid oblivion. Their owner (the NUFC owner, not the dildo seller from the Olympic Stadium), a man that appears to be the only overweight man that can find a way to sell crap sportswear to...

Preview: The 4th Ashes Test

Sport News 24/7 By Richard de Winter Hands up who saw that coming. Anyone who says they predicted the Edgbaston whitewash is either clairvoyant, an incurable optimist, or a liar. This Ashes series is predictable in its unpredictability; the teams are consistent in their inconsistency; cue many other paradoxes.  What will happen at Trent Bridge on Thursday is anybody’s guess. So, how did England go from a crushing defeat at Lord’s to a comprehensive victory at Edgbaston? Obviously the answer is...

Angel Di Maria – Oh What Could Have Been?

Sport News 24/7 By Matt Allen There are few players that move to the Premier League that are genuinely considered in the top six or seven players in world football when British clubs signs them. The EPL is seen as the place where you make your name before the big transfer to one of Europe’s elite. Luis Suarez, Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale et al are just some that have established themselves, with the possible exception of Sergio Aguero. For various reasons, be...

Only snow required: Beijing will host the 2022 Winter Olympic Games

By Noy Shani @NoyShani Beijing has been awarded the privilege of hosting the 2022 Winter Olympic Games, after edging over the only other bidder, the city of Almaty from Kazakhstan. European cities withdrew for political or financial reasons, the Chinese bid beat Almaty by 44 votes to 40 with one abstention. However, questions were quickly raised about the city’s suitability for such a mammoth task. You see, even though the city hosted the 2008 summer Olympics, the chosen destination, which...

Death of a Gentleman

By Richard Bannan If you're reading this you're a sports fan. If you're a sports fan, you're a fan of Test Match Cricket. To claim otherwise is akin to being to a lover of sketch comedy with a blind spot for Monty Python. And if you love Test Match Cricket you must see Death of a Gentleman. This new documentary, from journalists Sam Collins and Jarrod Kimber began life in 2011 as a love letter to Test Match Cricket and an...

Arsene Wenger and the Case of the Titanic Captain

Sport News 24/7 By Matt Allen Following Arsene Wenger's recent criticism of Manchester United’s transfer policy, I felt compelled to reminisce about a few home truths for the legendary French football encyclopaedia. A man often referred to as “The Professor” with a footballing brain the size of a football itself should surely know when his arguments are moot and his conclusions less than sound. Wenger was quoted as saying: “Most of the clubs who have been successful are clubs who...

Can we Ever Trust Cycling Again?

Sport News 24/7 By David de Winter, TLE Sports Editor @TLE_Sport  @davidjdewinter Britain’s Chris Froome is currently leading the world’s most prestigious and gruelling cycling race – the Tour de France.  This three-week long epic around France (and Holland) requires immense stamina, skill and determination to complete, let alone win against the world’s best cyclists.  As holder of the yellow jersey, Froome should be revelling in his status as ostensibly the world’s best cyclist.  However, as has been all too...

Resurgent England have chance to take control of Ashes

Sport News 24/7 By David de Winter - Sports Editor @TLE_Sport  @davidjdewinter Well I did not see that coming.  If you had told me that England would win the first Ashes Test at Cardiff, and at a canter, I would have questioned your sanity and probably referred you to a psychiatrist.  In winning by the emphatic margin of 169 runs, England have sent a strong message to Australia that they won’t just roll over and capitulate like they did 18...
