…we can ask what this Telegraph article was all about?
Wayne Bridge tells manager Fabio Capello he is ready to play for England again
Wayne Bridge has told Fabio Capello that he wants to play for England and be included in the squad for next month’s friendly against Egypt.
Evidently no matter how many times you write it, [...]
It’s been documented over recent times that Ferrari have strayed from the tried and tested method of carefully worded press releases. They don’t much care for the way the sport is run - the same sport, which, incidentally, rewards Ferrari more handsomely than any other team for the same accomplishments, and rather than raising their [...]
Having watched - having largely been forced to watch, we should say, so pervasive has the coverage been - Ashley Cole’s marriage fall apart very publicly over the last couple of weeks, it feels as if we are being treated to the same media narrative over and over again from the papers. What a bastard! [...]
Nicklas Bendtner’s propensity for talking about himself in a rather less mundane way than most footballers has made him stand out on the back pages more than his performances on the pitch have in recent times, and this in turn has landed him a tidy little collection of articles under his tag on Sport without [...]
The nature of writing articles for a website based on sports means that quite often we skim-read the headlines while getting up-to-date. Certainly, a headline suggesting that David Haye would be targeting the Klitschko brothers (the use of ‘target’ in headlines to reflect the obvious rather than the news is a subject which we have [...]
A year ago Shahar Peer, a promsing female tennis player from Israel, was refused entry to the United Arab Emirates to compete in the WTA event in Dubai. We thought that the $300,000 fine that hit the event was amusingly trivial, but evidently something changed in the past 12 months, because last week she was [...]
Guus Hiddink and managing international football teams seems to go together much like the proverbial horse and carriage. He’s already had spells in charge of the Netherlands, South Korea, Australia and Russia. It stands to reason, then, that you can link him just about plausibly to any international opportunity.
There were rumours building last week, following his [...]
A brilliantly emotive piece hit the News of the World this Sunday. Who would have thought it - the day that Manchester City were due to face Liverpool was the same day that the paper would unearth an extraordinary exclusive about Liverpool’s two star players?
City set up every Liverpool fan’s worst nightmare
And of course, NotW are not [...]
Britain wins a winter gold
Remember when Amy Williams was just like any of us? Well, no, probably not - you probably hadn’t heard a great deal more than that she was also competing in the same event as Shelley Rudman, the skeleton, at the Vancouver Olympics. Sure enough, though, four excellent runs down an icy track [...]
Tiger Woods is going to say some carefully chosen words today, and despite the fact that we know he will doing so almost entirely on his own terms and refusing to answer any questions or do anything that isn’t written on his cue cards [note to self - look remorseful], the media is going to [...]
