Brighton have confirmed that Enock Mwepu has fallen ill in Zambia months after he confirmed his retirement due to a hereditary heart disease.

I speak one language. (Two, if you include Pig Latin, but they don’t give out GCSEs in that. Owardscay.) And yet, even in my pathetic state of monolingualism, I still manage to pronounce words incorrectly. Bastardised by a pitmatic drawl, there all sorts of utterances that stumble up my throat and past my lips in various misshapen guises, like the wonky, reduced vegetables in a supermarket’s fresh produce section. To me, the word “film”, for instance, is a two-syllable affair. Don’t know how or…

Brighton have confirmed that Enock Mwepu has been forced to call time on his playing career after it was discovered that he has a hereditary heart condition.

When it comes to the latest furore surrounding James Madison, why is there even a debate? Beauty and wonder are there to be celebrated, not to be hidden away and clutched at like the dusty pearls of a bitter widower countess. In years to come would we rather gaze back in fondness on the pinpricks we suffered weaving majestic tapestries of ebullience, or mourn in stultified conservatism for the vivacity from which we cowered? I say, let Lizzo play his 200-year-old crystal flute, let its music spr…

Are England back in business after Monday night’s draw with Germany? Honestly, who knows...

NationalWorld Sport pick their Premier League Player of the Month choices for September, including players from Spurs, Man City and Man Utd.

Life comes at you pretty fast. Just ask Phillip Schofield. One minute you’re gleefully spinning a glimmering, shimmering wheel of misfortune on daytime television to determine whether or not some shivering schmuck with the bill payer’s permission will be financically permitted to actually pay those bills this winter, the next you’re using that same platform to deliver a meticulously scripted apology in grave solemnity to try and quell the fervour of a simmering scandal. You see, here in Britai…

England captain Harry Kane and a number of other World Cup captains were set to wear an armband bearing a rainbow design at this winter’s Qatar World Cup, to help send an anti-discriminatory message against homophobia. However, England, Wales and a number of other countries made a u-turn on this decision after a threat from FIFA said they would impose sanctions on those wearing the armband. Germany have now revealed they are investigating whether it is legal for FIFA to threaten players with sa…

Aston Villa and Southampton are set to face off in the Premier League this weekend

Will it be too little, too late for England hopefuls such as Ivan Toney and Eric Dier?

England are currently touring Pakistan for the first time in 17 years as they undertake a mammoth seven-match T20 series. Both sides currently have two wins each with only three more matches left to be played. Harry Brook has being a shining star for England and produced a knockout performance when he hit 81* off just 35 balls to help England breeze to their second win in the third T20 match. However, Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan have also enjoyed with tremendous innings of their own with A…

The sporting world continue to react to Thursday’s news

Football pundit Trevor Sinclair has come in for criticism following a tweet reacting to the death of Queen Elizabeth II. The 96-year-old monarch passed away at Balmoral on Thursday afternoon, and will be succeeded by her son, Charles. In a statement, Buckingham Palace said: “The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon. “The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow.” Clarence House has since confirmed that Charles will go by King…

Gareth Southgate has more than a few issues to contend with heading into England’s final preparations

The eyes of the tennis world will be firmly fixed on New York in the coming weeks as the US Open takes place at the historic Flushing Meadows. Last year’s tournament threw up more than its fair share of shocks and drama, with Emma Raducanu and Daniil Medvedev both winning their first career majors. For Raducanu in particular, her success in the Big Apple proved to be a star-making turn, with the emerging talent catapulted from relative unknown to international icon in an instant. The 2022 Open a…

The US Open 2022 gets underway on August 29th, with tennis’ biggest stars bidding to get their hands on one of the sport’s most prestigious honours.

But a place in the history books isn’t the only prize on offer in New York over the coming weeks. Entrants will al…
