November 27, 2018

You never want to see people lose their jobs but I’m happy that Claudio Ranieri is back in the Premier League, tasked with lifting Fulham off the bottom of the table. I felt sorry for Slavisa Jokanovic, the man he replaced last week, who got off to a difficult start and never managed to adapt [...]

Sam Torrance: Belgium’s young bucks Thomas Pieters and Thomas Detry are ones to watch in 2019

November 26, 2018

Thomas Pieters and Thomas Detry are really good golfers with beautiful swings so I was delighted to see them claim the World Cup of Golf for Belgium in Melbourne on Sunday. Pieters is a bit of a puzzle. Having announced himself on the European Tour with a couple of wins in the second half of [...]
Second-half stars Arsenal find a way to win again – with a little help from Bournemouth’s Jefferson Lerma

November 25, 2018

It can be hard to know what to make of Arsenal’s performances since the summer arrival of Unai Emery and Sunday's 2-1 Premier League win at Bournemouth was no different.

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 [...]

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.
