About Me

I am an aspiring sports writer, live blogger, and podcaster in the UK. I have recently graduated from the University at Warwick, where I achieved a High Second-class degree in Film and Television Studies. During my time at University, I was a consistent sports writer for 'The Boar', writing articles, live blogs, and appearing as guests on podcasts. In my final year of university, I became Deputy Editor for The Boar's Sports section, where I hosted 'The Football 7-Dayer Podcast'. In my role as Deputy Editor, my responsibilities included publishing and editing articles, as well as generating pitches for fellow writers. In my final year, The Boar Sports section were recognised as 'highly commended' by the Student Publication Association.

What does Guardiola’s new contract mean for Manchester City?

It has been an eventful fortnight for Pep Guardiola.

On 19 November, the 49-year-old signed a two-year contract extension, keeping him at the club until 2023. His former deal was due to expire at the end of the season, and there were worries in the City camp that they would be forced to look for a replacement.

You would be forgiven for thinking Pep’s eyes were wandering. His managerial stints at both Barca and Bayern lasted no longer than four years. Given he is already in his fifth season in

Listed: the Premier League’s six most exciting January transfers

The January transfer window of 2021. What promised to be a fairly quiet month, given the current climate, actually turned out to be quite interesting. The Premier League couldn’t give us transfer/car window-guru Harry Redknapp, so we had to settle for a series of savvy steals and some last-minute swoops.

So, in no particular order, let’s run down the most exciting Premier League deals from the January transfer window.

Zlatan Ibrahimović: Football's Great Iconoclast

Zlatan Ibrahimovic's career is enjoying something of a resurgence.

The Swedish frontman is enjoying his time back in the European limelight, scoring 14 goals in 12 league games for AC Milan so far this season.

But until recently, you would be forgiven for thinking his days among Europe's elite were over.

In 2018, Ibrahimovic endured one of his toughest seasons. Due to a hasty return from ACL damage, he registered a goalless season for Manchester United in the league campaign of 2017-18.

Tom Stoltman crowned Britain’s Strongest Man of 2021

On Saturday 23 October, a raucous crowd at the Utilita Arena Sheffield watched Tom Stoltman storm to his first-ever Britain’s Strongest Man title.

The contest was littered with some of the sport’s most star-studded names, such as legendary veteran Mark Felix, former winners Graham Hicks and Adam Bishop, and the entertaining Pa O’Dwyer. But the Stoltman Brothers, Luke, 36, and Tom, 27, were arguably the pick of the bunch at the start of the evening, with the latter claiming this year’s title.

England’s powerhouses collide in fierce FA Cup Final

Two great sides, two convincing semi-final wins, one hotly anticipated final. Arsenal and Chelsea will meet in December to decide the winners of the 2021 FA Cup.

Both teams have been thoroughly impressive this season. At the time of writing, Arsenal sit atop the Women’s Super League, with six wins from six, while Chelsea, the reigning WSL champions, sit just three points behind them. When the two sides met earlier in the season, it was Arsenal who came out on top, beating Chelsea 3-2 in a thril

‘Shut-up shop’ or take lead from the top: how appointing Eddie Howe is a risk worth taking

The Premier League has some of the most daring, exciting, and dominant coaches in the footballing climate. None more so than Pep Guardiola, Jurgen Klopp, and Thomas Tuchel, who have all enjoyed major success in the past few years; It seems it’s more important to have the best coach in the world, rather than the best players.

The methods made famous by these tacticians have trickled down to many teams in the Premier League; Southampton’s Ralph Hassenhuttl has the nickname ‘The Austrian/Alpine Kl

Bowen in, Henderson out: analysing the UEFA Nations League England squad

Gareth Southgate announced his 27-man squad for this summer’s UEFA Nations League fixtures, where England will travel to Hungary and Germany, before hosting Italy and Hungary at Molineux.

Bowen and Justin are in, while Henderson and Mings are out. Elsewhere, Eric Dier, James Maddison, and Jadon Sancho are overlooked. In this article we’ll break down some of the thinking behind Southgate’s decisions around the latest squad.

Jarrod Bowen’s inclusion should come as no surprise. He has performed e

Max Verstappen: the predictable feature in an unpredictable year

The Gilles Villeneuve circuit has a tendency to throw up a twist or two. Think back to Button in 2011, Vettel in 2019, and Schumacher in 1999. The circuit promises overtaking, mistakes and, as Saturday proved, variable weather.

In motorsport, driving in the wet can make or break a driver. For those with impeccable skill, it is an opportunity to transcend the limitations of their car. But even by his standards, Verstappen’s wet weather qualifying performance on Saturday was special.

The track l

Ada Hegerberg: the returning star hoping to spoil the home party

In 2017, Ada Hegerberg quit the Norwegian national team in protest over a lack of respect for the country’s female players. It was a decision triggered by a lack of opportunities for Norwegian women and girls, existing right the way from grassroots football to the professional game. Fast-forward to 2022, and after a change of president at the Norwegian Football Federation, Hegerberg has returned to the national side.

Five years ago, Norway crashed out of the 2017 European Championship, losing a

Premier League - Who your club should sign this Summer

Transfer silly season is up and running, but what if I told you that some rumours don’t have to be so far-fetched?

After some rigorous scouring across the market (admittedly, almost entirely online), I’ve put forward a player that each Premier League club should sign this summer. This is, of course, within the bounds of realism; We can’t have free-agent Paulo Dybala signing for Fulham (sorry Fulham fans).

Without further ado, let's start with Arsenal…

Last season, the Gunners' average squad a
