For seasons, the age of our players has been a talking point. Last season saw fans become more frustrated than ever before, signing a 36-year-old Evra, 30-year-old Hart and a 30-year-old Snodgrass, not helped by a poor run of results. We seem to have reached a turning point, with Evra departing and a string of…
Pre-season has seen positivity return to the West Ham fan base, boosted by a visible display of financial investment and ambition. Currently boasting the sixth highest spend in the transfer window, we have spent an enormous £85 million, beaten only by Juventus (£200m), Liverpool (£171m), Roma (£99m) and Barcelona (£97m). Some great business has been…
It’s almost time for RideLondon, the event which has seen many of you already donate towards an incredible girl called Isla, who is battling neuroblastoma. There has been a slight hitch in the lead up, as what I’d expected to be the home straight has turned into a battle to fight off a temperature… but…
Last night saw England crash out of the World Cup, beaten 2-1 by Croatia in extra time. The first semi-final we reached in 28 years and our first shot at reaching a World Cup final since 1966, England had gone from assuming we would have an early exit… to well and truly getting our hopes…
A peak audience of 24.4million watched England’s penalty shoot-out live on ITV, in-home this week. The excitement surrounding this World Cup is truly second to none, and as we have all become wrapped up in the dream… all that’s left to say is… It’s coming home. No game is a guarantee, as proven by early…
It’s about time we spoke about the topic of the World Cup… VAR. Having fallen in love with the excitement and fast pace of the beautiful game, I was originally disgusted at the thought of VAR coming in and slowing it down. I was so against the idea that I probably could have been described…
Social media has gone World Cup crazy… it’s going to be a brilliant summer! We’ve seen the return of the ‘hashflags’; country specific flags linked to hashtags, endless content to keep us entertained until the Premier League season begins, and something else which has surprisingly not been publicised enormously. Bitmoji have partnered up with Adidas…
Mohamed Salah made history this year; having one of the most successful seasons in recent Premier League history and leaving fans asking whether he can continue his incredible run of performances. Scoring on his debut against Watford, Liverpool’s first Egyptian player quickly impressed. Finding the back of the net against Hoffenheim 12 days later in…
As many of you will have seen, Cheap Panini are drawing every single one of the 682 Panini World Cup stickers for charity. Kicking off at the same time as the World Cup and finishing in time for the final, Alex and Sian have 32 days to complete around 170 hours of drawing between them……
With so much to look forward to next season, I asked for some of you to fire questions at me, and here are the answers:
It’s currently day 10 of my #30DayChallenge and there’s already been great feedback, but now it’s time for YOU to get involved.
Possibly my favourite story of the year so far… Greggs rebranded and served their food in a pop-up deli, at London’s Gourmet Foodie Festival. Foodies were wowed by the unheard of ‘Gregory and Gregory’ brand, detailing what they loved so much about their delicious foods… before the signs were flipped to reveal the dreaded Greggs…
