Every so often, you get a notification on your phone that makes you look twice. It can be a piece of positive information, like Arsenal making a new signing, or it can be negative information, like being told that Tiger Woods has been in a car accident. The weird part about this notification is what […]
Is it Lonely at the top?
I recently moved to a new house. The issue with moving to a new house is that nobody tells you the number of things you have to do. They also do not tell you all the things that may go wrong. One of those things that went wrong was the lack of internet in the […]
India vs England: World Cup Ready?
India and England will resume battle again on Friday morning, but this time in a different format. Both teams will be looking to finalise their line-ups for the T20 World Cup later this year. To do this they decided to battle in a five-match series to be played at Ahmedabad. Both sides are amongst the […]
Black History Month: Great Black Women
During Black History Month, we honour the greats of previous generations that paved the way for so many of us to be where we are today. In sports, it is no different. There are so many men and women who sacrificed a lot and made history in the process. By doing this, they opened the […]
Does Loyalty Exist
I think it is about time that fans face the reality that loyalty does not exist in sports. This week Arsenal’s longest-serving player Mesut Ozil will leave the club to sign for his boyhood football club Fenerbache. Personally, this has created a lot of mixed feelings.

The End of an Era: Parker and Ogwumike
I was introduced to basketball around 2009–2010. That was the year that the Lakers beat the Boston Celtics in a seven-game series. I vaguely recall watching that game seven. I remember that time because I accidentally stumbling across the Lakers vs Utah Jazz game. Accidentally only because I was not supposed to be awake at […]
Boycotts and Apologies
It seems that in life one of the worst things you can do is to be ahead of the curve. By this I mean you have an idea or a plan before everybody else. If you do, you should expect to see some support from like-minded people but the majority of comments will be pushback, ridicule […]
NBA Season: Who You Should Support
After a two-month hiatus, the NBA is back. It starts with a couple of preseason games. Then ahead of the start of the regular season that begins on the 22nd of December. With that in mind, I thought that I would give you all some NBA teams I think you should support. However, it is based […]
I Watched The Playbook on Netflix: What The Great Coaches Say
Here is a little secret for you all. For a very long time now, I have thought about starting my coaching badges to become a football coach. It is rather expensive and frankly, Medium does not send me enough money to buy a chocolate bar let alone to pay the amount of money the FA […]
‘I feel like a proud mother”
I had planned to write something completely different today. Then at 2:39 am that idea was pushed to the side. Instead, we will talk about some athletes that continue to inspire by leading from the front, fitting considering it is Black History Month. A few days ago ESPN UK revealed that from August 6th to September […]
