Chelsea can’t afford to be ruthless with Thomas Tuchel despite the club’s season fizzling out

May 15, 2022

A season that started so promisingly for Chelsea has, following Saturday’s FA Cup final defeat by Liverpool, ended up being one to forget. At the end of October they were three points clear at the top of the Premier League and all the talk was about whether Thomas Tuchel could crack Manchester City and Liverpool’s [...]

May 13, 2022

Last Weekend’s European rugby quarter-finals were a brilliant watch, and I was enthralled by the Champions Cup penalty shootout win for Toulouse against Munster, but this weekend I expect the performance levels to increase further.

The stakes are higher than they have been for any north London derby in several years, with both teams hunting a return to the Champions [...]
Ed Warner: It is time we sent London 2012 to the back of the cupboard

May 12, 2022

It took me 20 minutes from the Central Line platform via Peloton Avenue to cover the half mile to the Lee Valley VeloPark. Admittedly I wasn’t exactly walking at Tom Bosworth pace, and a few hazy-memoried wrong turns out of Westfield didn’t help as I went in search of ‘10 Years On’, a new exhibition [...]
