Why do we love sport?
Why do we love sport?
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Or is it something far deeper than that? Seldom few of us like follow just the one sport, a recent survey showed that one person followed, on average, four sports to a degree that they would regularly attend various sports. We know that sport has the effect of bringing us together and the elation we feel when our team or favourite sportsperson wins, or drives…

This weekend would be no different for a number of reasons. Heading into this race Max Verstappen was leading the championship by 4…

Find Out Everything You Need to Watch the Euros 2020 Here
Find Out Everything You Need to Watch the Euros 2020 Here
If there is a list of interesting competitions to watch in football, the Euros will make it to that list.
The 15th edition of the quadrennial competition took the stage in 2016 and Portugal took the trophy home. That was a shocking twist of events, but not as shocking as the fact that they won the trophy over France which is considered the stronger side.
That tells you how much this year’s…

Monaco GP 2021
Round 6 of this years F1 World Championship was the jewel in the F1 crown, The Monaco GP. Whilst it doesn’t often serve us up with a classic race it is always the ultimate challenge and the chance to see the drivers test their talents and show off their skills at a track that demands more of their skill than the traits of their cars. Saying that a decent car is still needed no matter how good the…

Spanish GP 2021
The past weekend saw Round 4 of the 2021 F1 World Championship, It was the Spanish GP held at the Circuit De Catalunya, the host of the Spanish round since 1991. Normally thanks to the amount of testing done at this circuit the race becomes a precession thanks also to the nature of the circuit and the fact that it is so hard to follow the car in front and the lack of overtaking opportunities.…

Money Money Money
The recent fiasco concerning the European Super League and moreover, the fan backlash against it, has many of us wondering just how we got here and where are we heading?
As far back as 1961, the weekly wage for a professional footballer was capped at just £20. Jimmy Hill was the Chairman of the PFA and after strike action was threatened, the salary cap was lifted and gradually there was an…

Emilia Romagna GP 2021
Emilia Romagna GP 2021
Round two of the 2021 F1 World Championship took place this weekend and it was a return to Imola, any return to this classic F1 circuit is always tinged with sadness with the memories of the deaths of Roland Ratzenberger and Ayrton Senna back in 1994. Even with those memories in mind it is a joy to watch todays beastlike cars fly around an old school circuit.
We arrived this weekend after a…

Bahrain GP 2021
The long wait is over, the first race of the 2021 F1 season has come and gone. Was it worth the wait ?? Would the top two teams be as closely matched as everyone believed ?? Would we finally get the battle between the two titans of the sport? The answer to all these questions was a resounding YES. If that wasn’t good enough it seems the midfield is going to be even more competitive than the last…

It’s that time of year again where the F1 circus rolls into town and everyone expects the usual season of dominance from one team or as the last few years has seen one driver.
This year however feels different, even though it’s the final season of the current regulations, somehow it seems that for the first time since the hybrid era began this season could be unpredictable and we could see a…

We all remember our first time.
We all remember our first time.
Who could ever forget that first time? The hope, the sense of anticipation coupled with the sweaty palms and the increased heart rate. The lead up to the event filling your days before it all goes by in an instant.
I’m speaking of course about the first time you watch a football match in a real stadium as opposed to on the TV.
So let me share with you my first time. As a Manchester United fan…

Who will win Euro 2021?
Who will win Euro 2021?

Picking a winner this year will be more difficult than ever as the tournament, always incredibly hard to win, looks wide-open.…
