A guy in an England training kit invaded the team’s first pre-Euro 2016 training session and no one really cared. The man jogged towards the players, who were taking a water break at the time, kicked a couple of balls towards empty nets, and jogged away without anyone doing much more than watch him do what he pleased.
Harry Kane is on the cover of the new issue of Forever Sports magazine and this is one of the images from that shoot. I have no idea what’s going on here.
Proving that there is absolutely no sponsorship opportunity Man United will turn down, the club with an official ready meal partner for Korea is now painting children blue to promote films.
Twice a year, goths descend upon Whitby, England to celebrate all things goth with their heavily eyelinered brethren and as part of the festival, Real Gothic FC face the local side in a match known as El Gothico.
Monday was a good day for Jamie Vardy. He was named to England’s Euro 2016 squad and took part in Leicester’s title parade. So he needed to wear something that reflects his status as a rising star who is refining his image for the international stage. After all, this is a man who just launched his own V9 Academy to help get non-league players the coaching they need to make the step up to the next level like he did.
And that’s why he went with a “Chat shit, get banged” shirt — the catchphrase that originated from a 2011 Facebook status update written by a then unknown Vardy after his move to Fleetwood Town and is now an ass tattoo.
Only Spurs could find a way to finish third behind Arsenal in a two-horse race that did not involve Arsenal. They went winless in their last four matches of the season, starting with a 1-1 draw against West Brom, then squandering a two-goal lead to Chelsea for a 3-3 draw that sealed the title for Leicester, then they lost 2-1 to Southampton, but they saved their most incredible embarrassment for last.
Back in February I wrote a post about the clear strategy in John Terry’s dramatic announcement that Chelsea were refusing to offer him one more contract extension. “It’s not going to be a fairytale ending, I’m not going to retire at Chelsea,” he said, presciently. Well, fast forward two and a half months and Terry has been offered the contract extension he wanted.

Everton’s 3-0 loss to a Sunderland side desperate to preserve their Premier League future proved to be the last straw for the Toffees, prompting them to sack manager Roberto Martinez the following day. Coincidentally, this also happened to be the day for which the club’s end of season awards celebration was scheduled. But since a 3-0 loss to Sunderland and sacking your manager after weeks of fan protests pushing for that decision make for a difficult lead-in to a party, the event was postponed mere hours before it was set to begin.
If Claudio Ranieri and Leicester City have lived a fairytale this season, then Rafa Benitez has endured a sadistic nightmare written by Franz Kafka.
