Ollie Phillips: I fancy England to beat an All Blacks team lacking leaders

November 18, 2022

The All Blacks are the only team in rugby to transcend the sport so, for many of England’s squad, tomorrow’s match will feel bigger than the visit of world champions South Africa next weekend.

Trevor Steven: Why England are among my four contenders for Qatar 2022 World Cup

November 17, 2022

Ed Warner addresses why American investors are the most likely purchases of any Liverpool shares on the market, why England’s Rugby World Cup defeat was good for the women’s game, and cricket song choices with a sense of humour.

November 16, 2022

Leicester Square is probably number one on the list of places Londoners avoid at all costs, but during Christmas there’s a surprisingly decent market there that’s atmospheric enough to justify breaking our avoidance pacts.
