Is Tottenham’s thrashing of Chelsea a sign that Mauricio Pochettino has got Spurs to peak the right time this season?

November 25, 2018

If Tottenham supporters have had reason to gripe this season then the most compelling cause must be the ongoing delay to completion of their new stadium, which has left fans in a state of limbo. If they have had a second reason to gripe then it may be that, despite putting more points on the [...]
Davis Cup reboots, Wembley sale talk and Premiership Rugby takeover bids: how private investment is shaking up a sports industry at a crossroads

November 22, 2018

From plans for a breakaway Super League in European football to takeover bids for Premiership Rugby, the collapsed sale of Wembley Stadium and the $3bn revamp of the Davis Cup, there is a common thread running through some of the biggest sports stories of recent months. Change is sweeping through the industry at breakneck pace [...]
Ollie Phillips: England’s next two matches can make or break their Rugby World Cup hopes

November 22, 2018

England’s autumn has gone well so far, with a lot of the negativity surrounding Eddie Jones and the team dissipating, yet they have been fortunate and cracks have, for now, just been papered over. They were very lucky to edge out a South Africa team who pummelled them in the first half; downpours played into [...]
Southampton’s slump: where has it all gone wrong for the Premier League’s model club?

November 22, 2018

“Sometimes you just need something to fly off somebody’s head, it flies past the keeper who can’t do anything about it and you’re off and running.” Mark Hughes is convinced Southampton aren’t far off turning things around. They just need some good fortune, some decisions to fall their way, some momentum. That is the stage [...]
Trevor Steven: England are burying their inferiority complex and Nations League success can accelerate the process

November 20, 2018

As a footballing nation, England cannot expect to be winning every international tournament; all we can really ask is that the team is competitive – and we have achieved that now.

Alex Rodriguez: Baseball is a thinking person’s game so it fits beautifully in London

November 19, 2018

American sports are renowned for their scale and razzmatazz so it should perhaps be little surprise that Major League Baseball, in making a push for a slice of the British market, has sent its big hitters out to bat. For the first MLB games ever to be staged Europe, which will be held at the [...]
England break from past by learning from mistakes to overcome Croatia

November 18, 2018

Among the many painful aspects of England’s failings over the last three decades has been the tendency of the most promising teams to repeat the same mistakes tournament after tournament. At both the 2004 European Championship and the 2006 World Cup, Sven-Goran Eriksson’s side departed on penalties to Portuguese opponents who, while gifted, outsmarted more [...]
Trevor Steven: Moving abroad is a risk but young English footballers can only benefit

November 13, 2018

To understand why young English players are increasingly attracted to the prospect of joining teams in other European leagues you need only look at the case of Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
