‘Hang it in the Louvre’ has never felt so apt.
Since 2024, Parisian art school students have designed PSG’s Champions League posters.
From a Van Gogh tribute to fresh views of the game, the results have been impressive.

Ipswich Town are a Premier League team again.
Their last promotion, in 2024, was greeted with wild celebrations after two decades away from the top flight. But the stark reality of life among English football's elite quickly took hold and relegation followed.
After they secured their return at the first attempt, are they better equipped to stay up this time?

What does it take to make a #Lioness?
Downsizing houses, bank loans, hours of driving, juggling jobs, so tired that you sleep in meetings.
Thank you to the families for speaking so openly & trusting @TheAthleticFC

She says she was twice shut in a room with Mohamed Al Fayed, the owner of her football club, at Harrods and he sexually abused her.
“I was used.”

The door to Maddy Cusack’s bedroom almost always remains closed these days.
It’s a year since her death and maybe we should talk about Maddy, the person - not just Maddy, the story.

Topless Englishmen are singing about Scotland getting battered. Everywhere you look people are drinking. Music is blaring. It's 2pm.
Welcome to Benidorm on Euros final day, home to surely the biggest concentration of England and Spain fans anywhere outside of Berlin.

Arsenal interested in signing #Lioness Keira Walsh from Barcelona.
Walsh has 1 yr left on her contract. The WSL club may be interested but whether a fee or contract can be agreed is another matter.

Former Forest Green Rovers head coach Troy Deeney threatened to punch a match official in the face before calling him a “weasel” during December’s loss to Swindon Town.
The former Watford striker received a four-game touchline ban and £1,500 fine this month following two FA charges relating to alleged improper, abusive, insulting and threatening language and behaviour.
In the written reasons released following two FA independent regulatory commission hearings, it was alleged Deeney said to fourth official Andrew Hickman: “if you weren’t a referee, I would punch your f****** head in".
After being dismissed from the technical area, it was alleged Deeney then called Hickman “a f****** weasel”.
