Jamie Oliver compró un edificio que solía ser un banco en Manchester para renovarlo y convertirlo en un nuevo restaurante. Empero, hace unos días las personas encargadas de la construcción descubrieron que el sótano de la misma estaba llena de cajas fuertes (algunas que datan incluso de 1935), cuyos contenidos han resultado sumar más de 1.1 millones de libras (más o menos 1.7 millones de dólares). Lo interesante es que, después de que no se encontró a los dueños originales de las cajas, éstas se abrieron con taladros y se descubrieron entonces no sólo oro y joyas, [...]

Soccer fans don't have NBA withdrawal; we have the Champions League. And with all the drama Wednesday night - including Bayern Leverkusen's upset of Chelsea, Valencia's 7-0 demolishing of Genk [...]

In the "Subway Series of Soccer," Manchester City trampled Manchester United 6-1 on Sunday to prove they weren't pretenders but contenders for the Premier League Crown. For Americans, the Manchester [...]

Imagine the NBA Finals, the World Series and the Stanley Cup Finals on steroids. An event garnering even more viewers than the coveted Super Bowl Championship. The other type of football provides just that in the UEFA Champions League Final. The European soccer competition is a sporting event of massive proportions, a battle between what [...]

Two Door Cinema Club has been on the rise since their inception back in 2009, granted not everyone may be familiar with the band, but they would recognize their songs as they've made appearances in countless commercials and television shows. Personally I remember receiving their EP from Kitsuné back in January of '09, not giving [...]

By snaffling a photo of Liam Gallagher from Twitter, Gordon found an excuse to file a report on the FA Cup semi final : It was a triumphant day for the Blues, despite a row erupting on the pitch between their tetchy star MARIO BALOTELLI and United's RIO FERDINAND and ANDERSON. Psst, Gordon... you're meant to be the showbiz guy? That was probably the icing on the cake for Liam. Still, I'm glad Gordon mentioned rivals having a pop at each other, as there's a wonderful story in the current Private Eye which could teach [...]

Over in the soccer world, championships were decisively won and lost this past weekend. Beginning in Spain, only five points separated Barcelona and Madrid in their annual two-horse race at the start of Saturday morning. By day's end, Madrid's title challenge was effectively over. A mediocre-at-best Sporting Gijon team handed an injury-plagued Madrid a loss, the first home defeat for manager Jose Mourinho in nine years—stretching his stints with FC Porto in Portugal, Chelsea in England, and Internazionale in Italy. Barcelona, on the other hand, dispatched a prickly Villareal [...]

Noel e Liam Gallagher hanno forti tendenze da hooligan. A rivelarlo è Tony McCarroll, ex batterista degli Oasis in procinto di pubblicare una biografia sulla band intitolata Oasis: The Truth, The Noel Truth, Is Nothing Like the Truth . McCarroll racconta che i due fratelli, super tifosi del Manchester City, lavoravano come parcheggiatori per un'impresa che aveva come clienti diversi giocatori del Manchester United, squadra arci-rivale per eccellenza. Liam e Noel avrebbero più volte rovinato le vetture degli ignari calciatori. Fra gli esempi figurano i passaruota dell'auto sportiva di Paul Ince graffiati con la [...]

Ronaldo who? Obviously, Manchester would love to have the Portuguese winger cutting up and down the field with the Red Devil crest on his chest, but Wayne Rooney has done his part to make that pipe dream ever more irrelevant. First it was Hull. Then Manchester City. And this past weekend, Arsenal. Ever since breaking his big-game duck against AC Milan three seasons ago, Wayne has steadily progressed into the potential once-in-a-generation English talent that the hometown rags touted him to be upon his debut as a 16-year-old Evertonian. [...]

The people behind Manchester's longest running club Sankeys, are looking to invest into a 16,000 capacity concert venue. The site earmarked for redevelopment is currently a derelict warehouse owned by the Manchester United football club and situated near Old Trafford. So you will soon be able to watch the greatest football team in the world and listen to some of world's biggest artists all within a stones throw of each other. David Vincent of Sankeys told Manchester Evening News "Artists are holding a lot more concerts now as they are not making much money [...]

Haiti was on the forefront of everyone's minds this week, both near and far. A lot of people rushed in with support efforts for a country that's long been forgotten and overlooked. Sadly, some people saw this as a good time to bring up a non-profit's faulty books , while not keeping in mind how it might affect aid to Haiti. Although the story will begin to lose steam in the coming weeks, the hard work is only beginning now. While everything else seems a bit trivial in light of [...]

When Manchester United loses/drops points, I experience a draining feeling which sours the rest of my day (sucks that the games are in the morning here) — a feeling no doubt shared by any sports fan with an unhealthy attachment to a club/team. It's one thing when an actual match does that to you. It's another when it's caused by unrelated boardroom BS, such as the news that Manchester's ungodly amount of debt —incurred when the US-based Glazer family borrowed hundreds of millions to purchase the team in '03 — will hopefully be serviced by two thousand and [...]

Five points clear of Man.Ure!

While Kobe & LeBron dominate Nike's advertising budget over here, it's a different story across the pond. Playing off the nostalgic 8-bit filled afternoons of our youth, Manchester United's Patrice Evra stars in his own video game thanks to the genius' in Nike's Ad department. The best part about it is the ad is for a sweatshirt. But not just any sweatshirt, it's Nike's AW77 hoodie. [ via ]

Words By Devin Chanda In more ways the one—its global reach, the grandiosity of the festivities — the Champions League final held every May has been likened to the Super Bowl. Now, there's a staggering statistic suggesting that it may even surpass the Super Bowl in one regard. As SI.com reported recently. "The world's most lucrative club soccer competition, the European Champions League, will earn a record $1.55 billion in marketing and television revenues for clubs and [...]

Here's Manchester United's Rio Ferdinand disclosing what he plays in the dressing room, what with him being the chief selecta and all: I've got some old school tunes to fire me up, some old school [UK] garage. Plus there's other stuff. The mix has got a bit of Kanye West on there, Lil Wayne and stuff like that, so that everyone in the changing room is happy. I wonder which of those is Gary Neville's favourite. [via [...]

Despite fierce reports to the contrary , London is not the reason. In fact, Gallows' new, 17-strong batch of autumn tourdates shows the Watford hardcore crew playing just about every province there is, with no London date. No, Kingston is not London. Watch the video to 'London Is The Reason' by Gallows Grey Britain is the absolute dog's knackers of a record and Gallows are still the absolute dog's furry drops of a band so we [...]

French footballer Franck Ribery takes a break from working desperately to construct a move from Bayern Munich to Manchester United Chelsea Real Madrid, to appear in the music video to a song called "Meme Pas Fatigue" for someone calld DJ Kore. The video is not a whole lot of kop, but if it happens to be thudding out of a bar across the road the track might provide an effective soundtrack as you vomit cheap shots of schnapps into the lavatory of a Costa del Sol hotel :( [...]
