By Andrew Pierce I’ll be the first to admit that only three weeks ago, I didn’t think Dustin Johnson was capable of winning a major. This wasn’t down to a lack of ability, something which he’s never struggled to show. I honestly believed that although he was possibly the most talented golfer in the world with […]

It looks like he’s staying. The player who started his Anfield career in a blaze of glory didn’t so much go up in smoke as he went down with a puff of air by the end of the season. The 32 million man came from Aston Villa having led the line and hit nets for […]

Gary Lineker’s brilliant take on England losing to Iceland was the most re-tweeted tweet of Euro 2016. The Three Lions lost 2-1 to the tiny island in the last-16 of the tournament, and set social media alight in the process. The nation that invented football were defeated by the smallest country to ever qualify for […]

How much? You may have noticed but there is a new world order in the Premier League. The new £5 billion TV deal means everyone (probably rightly) assumed that chairman are swanning around their clubs like Scrooge McDuck, landing face first in piles of gold wherever they turn. To emphasise just how batshit crazy things have […]

Everton fans, what would you think of this? Everton have been linked with moves for the world and his mother since the appointment of Ronald Koeman as manager last month. Everyone from Shane Long to Yannick Bolasie has been rumoured to be on Koeman’s hit list. But now we have confirmation (of sorts) straight from […]

Great sportsmanship. Germany dominated France in the first-half of the Euro 2016 semi-final, but went in at the break 1-0 down thanks to Antoine Griezmann’s penalty and Bastian Schweinsteiger’s hand. However, despite that setback, the moment when Jerome Boateng went off injured was arguably the point when it appeared the game was beyond the world […]

Wow. It’s one thing that Paul Pogba looks to be on his way to Manchester United, but now a five-time Ballon d’Or winner is being chased by the Premier League’s finest – or Chelsea and Manchester City, rather.

His five-point haul in a masterful display against Clare last month had the hurling world in awe of Austin Gleeson. The Waterford full-forward/wing-forward/midfielder/wing-back was damn near unplayable in the Munster SHC semi-final win over the Banner men. Gleeson’s athleticism and touch left pundits cooing about his natural ability, as if the Mount Sion clubman does not have […]

By Hayley O’Connor of Ladbrokes Ireland It’s not ‘just another manic Monday’ – it is Wimbledon’s Manic Monday, which means 16 fourth round matches will be played. Novak Djokovic’s downfall has left the men’s title open, and Murray’s been promoted to the 10/11 favourite. Surely not! While Andy can be a bit bland as far as […]

Conor McGregor has a pretty unique approach to time. When SportsJOE caught up with McGregor before his fight against Chad Mendes last year he told us that “Time does not exist, Only clocks exist”. It’s an approach that he has always seemingly applied to his training regime as well. The 145lb world champion has often […]
