West Ham were the latest victims of the rampant Manchester City team, who continue their impressive Premier League run. Still unbeaten, City went in at half time 1 - 0 down after West Ham's Ogbonna scored with a header to shock the home crowd. City put the east Londoners under immense pressure in the second half, and were rewarded with a goal from an unlikely source in defender Otamendi, just before the hour mark.West Ham continued to fight to get something out of the game, but on the 83rd minute Dr Bruyne put in a delightful ball to Silva, whose clever finish won the game late for City. It was a Raheem Sterling goal on the 96th minute against Southampton on Wednesday night that sealed the points, it does beg the question, how long can City carry this late winners luck on for?
West Ham have had a torrid time of late, however new manager David Moyes will take heart from the performance. There was a late chance from West Ham's Sakho, who put the ball wide handing City the points.
City remain 8 points clear, with Manchester United the closest to them and waiting for them next Sunday for a HUGE Manchester Derby!

England look set to lose the first test of the 2017 Ashes tour in Brisbane
It was a fourth day of dominance from Australia over England, who look set to take the first test in Brisbane in the 2018 Ashes series. The Aussies, who haven't lost an Ashes tour at the Gabba since 1988 put in a fine performance to limit England's runs, with Joe Root limited to 51 runs, and also dismissing the whole of the English team out for 195 in front of a loud home crowd.
A few England players have come out and voiced their disappointment over the performance, all rounder Moeen Ali, who injured his finger in the first day and claimed to be struggling to grip the bat. during his stint at the crease. Ali and Bairstow, who were giving England some good points at one point, but a debatable umpire decision ended the partnership which summed up England's failure to get into the swing of things. Ali was deemed to not have had his foot in the crease, which was 42 runs into the best bit of pressure from England throughout the day.
Although the first test may be as good as done for England, there is still plenty of time for them to stamp their authority on this Ashes series.

The crop of young lions continue to impress....
Seeing an England team playing in a final of a major tournament seems to be a regular echo over the last few months, and it was the Under 17's turn to make their own history after they WON the under 17's World Cup in India yesterday.
England beat Spain 5 -2 in the final, ironically the same team that beat them in the Under 17's European Championships back in May. After impressing throughout the tournament, which included 2 4-0 wins in the group stage against Iraq and Mexico, it was the 4-1 win against the USA and a 3-1 win against Brazil which really made the nation take notice in the knock out stages. Rhian Brewster, who scored back to back hat tricks in the knock out stages took a lot of the headlines after he took home the golden boot with 8 goals. The young forward; who left Chelsea at the age of 14 to join Liverpool spoke out about how a prep talk by his dad on the phone prompted the sudden bucket load of goals.
After the success of the under 20's, 21's and under 18's the future looks bright for England at international level after a string of frustrating senior team major tournament performances. It does beg the question, will the foreign player dominated Premier League affect these young players development and chances to break into the first teams?
Former England midfielder and multiple trophy winner Frank Lampard sent a powerful message to the players, simply saying " well done, but the hard work starts now!".
It is certainly a year to look back on in pride for the English FA, and a winning mentality that we hope continues until next Summer in Russia!

Who can move Scotland forward at the departure of Gordon Strachan?
With Scotland's failure to qualify for the World Cup next year, manager Gordon Strachan made the decision to step down from his position. Scotland have failed to qualify for 2 major tournaments under Strachan, with the last time they qualified coming back in 1998 in France. Scotland will be looking to put together a serious attempt at qualifying for Euro 2020, and looking be looking to bring in a manager to put together the plans. A few names have been touted, such as David Moyes, current Northen Ireland manager Michael O'Neil, Derek McInnes and even former England boss Sam Allardyce being mentioned.
After being the only country in the British Isles not to qualify for the Euros last Summer, and the latest World Cup qualifying failure, it is a big job for whoever takes the reigns!

Heartbreak for Wales and Scotland, while Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland seal playoff spot!
Just last Summer, Wales were in the final 4 of Euro 2016 however this Summer sees Wales crash out of World Cup qualification after they lost 1 - 0 to Republic of Ireland. Wales, who were without superstar Gareth Bale will not have to chance to replicate their heroics last Summer at a major tournament after West Brom's James McClean scored the winner. The win sees Republic of Ireland secure a place in the playoff, while Northern Ireland, despite losing 1 - 0 to Norway face a tough game as they will be seeded against one of the best winners.
It will be another major tournament without Scotland, after they only managed a draw against Slovenia. Gordon Strachan, who's future is up in the air as his contract runs out was unable to steer his side to Russia despite winning 5 games.

England qualify, but not many are impressed!
So England's place in Russia 2018 for the World Cup is confirmed, after Harry Kane scored his 11th goal for the senior national team in the dying embers of the game against Slovenia on Tursday night. With a lot of nations still working towards the qualification, England in typical fashion have qualified for the World Cup with minimal fuss and an undefeated record.
Despite qualifying, the vast majority of Football fans are less than impressed with the national team after a string of average performances. The 1-0 win against Slovenia certainly won't sell any highlight DVDs, with former International Chris Waddle calling the performance the worst he has seen from an England side. England do have some exciting players at their disposal, such as Raheem Sterling, Harry Kane and Deli Ali to name a few. Harry Kane, who's goals have been huge in this latest campaign and is currently the hot prospect in Europe after scoring goals at will for his club side Tottenham. Despite these players in the team, performances are sluggish and the players just don't seem to use their creative edge over inferior sides.
For manager Gareth Southgate, it seems to be a bit of a thankless task trying to put together a effective plan for, what seems to be a mismatch of players.England take on Litunia today at 4pm, so we may see a few fringe players thrown in to see what they can do and maybe even give England fans something to cheer about!

City and Chelsea with striker headaches..
Your free scoring Centre Forward is pivotal to a successful season in Football; and title contenders Chelsea and Manchester City have both been handed huge blows. After attending a concert in Amsterdam, Sergio Aguero was involved in a car crash while in a taxi. Thankfully the injuries weren't too severe, however some broken ribs means the star striker is ruled out for at least 1 month. Chelsea's new star striker Morata pulled his hamstring against Manchester City on Saturday keeping him ruled out for also at least a month!
Manchester United will be looking to take full advantage of their rivals missing their top strikers!

Sloane Stephens wins first gradslam in fantastic Tennis story!
We love an inspiring story in sport, and there isn't many bigger than American Tennis player Sloane Stephens coming out of nowhere and winning the USA Open. Stephens, who was ranked 957 before the tournament, took the world of Tennis by storm with her rise throughout the tournament. It took just 61 minutes and a straight set win for Stephens, who saw off 15th seed Madison Keys in the final. The 2 finalists, who are good friends both have had a remarkable time in the tournament, with one of them about to become the first American player outside the Williams sisters to win the major in over 20 years!
A truly inspiring story, and we certainly haven't heard the last from Sloane Stephens!

England Under 20's are CHAMPIONS!
The future is certainly looking bright for England, after the under 20's capped off an impressive under World Cup with a 1 -0 win to be crowned champions! The team was littered with up and coming starts, from Lookman from Everton, Woodman from Newcastle and Solanke who recently signed for Liverpool. They saw off a technically very good Venezuela side, with a first half goal from Everton's Calvert-Lewin. England's goalkeeper Freddie Woodman was called into action around the 80th minute, when the South Americans won a penalty, which was well saved. It was all out attack from then on, however England managed to hold onto the win.
It is great experience for the young lions, and with a World Cup win under their belt they will be full of confidence going into the new seasons with their clubs!
Well done lads!

Promotions and relegations so far in this years Football league! #LiveSportTalks
It is now the business end of the Football League season, with some teams dreaming of promotion, while others suffering the relegation nightmare as well as sweating over playoff postions. Let's have a look at what could happen today!
Brighton and Hove Albion could confirm their place in the Premier League for the first time in their history today. They need to win against relegation threatened Wigan at home and better the Huddersfield result, who take on Derby County. Currently the relegation threat goes all the way up to Ipswich or sit in 15th place, however if they better Blackburn's result than they are safe. It is a 5 horse race for the 4 playoff places as well, with none of the teams officially confirming their places yet. As ever, it is set to be an interesting end to the Championship season so stay tuned!
Sheffield United have secured the League 1 title with an impressive 91 points from 43 games. Any team from 2nd to 5th could still technically get automatic promotion, but it looks like Bolton, Fleetwood and Bradford will be getting that space with Bolton leading that pack with a 4 point cushion over 3rd place Fleetwood. Like the Championship, mathematically any team from 15th below could get relegated. Coventry had their relegation confirmed with a home draw to Charlton on Good Friday, Charlton would be 100% safe with a win at home to Gillingham today. Chesterfield could be as good as down if they fail to win and Port Vale win their game in hand.
Doncaster have secured their return to League 1 with automatic promotion confirmed, they could be in touching distance of the title if they win and Plymouth lose. Plymouth can secure promotion with a win today regardless of results around them. Portsmouth could also secure promotion if they win against Notts County and 4th place Luton fail to win. Anyone from 14th place Grimsby could mathematically make it into the playoffs in a tight battle. At the other end, Leyton Orient could have relegation confirmed if they fail to beat Hartlepool. Others in that mix include Newport County, Cheltenham and Yeovil Town.

It is SILVER for Elinor Barker in the World Championships in Hong Kong
Olympic Gold medalist Elinor Barker took Silver last night in the scratch race in the World Championships in Hong Kong. Baker was edged out by Italian Rachele Barbieri in a thrilling sprint in the 40 lap race.
Barker, who admitted that her start probably cost her the race was disappointed not to win the race, but did congratulate the winner Barbieri.
Tomorrow night sees the men's relay team, which consists of Chris Latham, Andy Tennant, Mark Stewart and Ollie Wood will compete against the Italian team for the Bronze medal.
It was a disappointing loss for the men's team sprint, as they missed out on a medal winning race. Jack Carlin, Ryan Owens and Joe Truman missed out by 200 hundreds of a second!

Great few days for Great Britain in the European Indoor Athletics! #LiveSportTalks
It has been a great few days for Great Britain at the European Indoor Championships in Belgrade, with broken records and rebellious laps of honours from our guys!
Here is a list of the GB medals so far:
60m sprint - Gold - Richard Kilty (GBR)
60m hurdles - Gold - Andy Pozzi (GBR)
1500m Women - Gold - Laura Muir (GBR)
There is still plenty of action left such as the Pole Vault, where we have 2 Brits in ( Ashley Bryant and Liam Ramsey), the semi-final of the 60m Women's sprint ( Asha Philip) and the 3000m Women's race have 3 Brits competing ( Elish McColgan, Laura Muir and Steph Twell).
Laura Muir also broke the GB record in the 1500 race with a time of 4 minutes and 2.39 seconds which was also her first major title. She didn't allow the steward to ruin her fun, who was trying to stop Laura from doing her lap of honour due to the overrunning of previous events. Laura didn't let this stop her, she made a dash for it to complete the lap! Good for you Laura!!!
Be sure to check out the rest of the competition on BBC 2 from 14:30 today!
Don't forget, there is still time to get your early bird ticket for our next event with 3 of the Gold medal winning Hockey team from Rio. We are being joined by Hollie Webb, Georgie Twigg and Shona McCallin on Thursday 30th March at the Dickens Inn in London! Hope to see you there!

Lincoln cause a HUGE upset in the FA Cup against Burnley, we look at some of the biggest sporting upsets!
The FA Cup always tends to bring up an upset, and this round certainly didn't disappoint! It was Premier league side Burnley's turn to be humbled by the Conference Premier side Lincoln in the last 16 yesterday on their home soil. Lincoln threw caution to the wind and managed to get themselves ahead when Sean Raggett nodded in the winner. We love an underdog story in Britain, lets have a look at some of the best of underdog wins!
Novak Djokovic has a nightmare in Melbourne
Djokovic certainly started the year on a sour note, the 12 time grand slam winner and reportedly has won over $100 million in prize money was knocked out of the Australian Open in the 2nd round by unknown Dennis Istomin, who was ranked outside of the world 100 at the time. It was a nail biting 5 setter with Uzbekistan's Istomin winning the final set and sending shock waves through the world of Tennis.
Leicester City WINNING the Premier League in the 2015/16 season
A lot of Football fans spent the majority of the season wiping their eyes; as little old Leicester City were topping the pile in the Premier League. Leicester, who narrowly avoided relegation the year before were beating teams left, right and centre with incredible wins against money bags Manchester City at the Etihad, a win against Liverpool and a win at Tottenham. Likely to never be seen again in the Premier League, Leicester winning the league goes down as the biggest underdog story in English Football history. With this season currently being a bit of a mess and the team just 2 points off relegation, this makes it even more impressive.
Greece beat hosts Portugal to win Euro 2004
The tournament itself was less than impressive to say the least, with a lot of the 'big' teams struggling to get out of 2nd gear, it was Greece who took full advantage. It was German coach Otto Rehhagel who masterminded the great win, where he set the Greek team up in a clever defensive formation and relied on the odd goal. It seemed that hosts Portugal were destined to win the tournament, they boasted Barcelona's playmaker Deco, Milan legend Rui Costa and of course one of the greatest players of all time Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portugese huffed and puffed, however Greece scored the only goal of the game via Charisteas effort on the 57th minute. It goes down as the biggest underdog history in European Football history.
Team USA fail to win the Gold medal at the Olympics in 2004
The USA boast the strongest league in the world, the NBA and have a string of Olympic Gold medals. The famous 1992 team had the likes of Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson and Larry Bird in their ranks and won every game to take the Gold. Fast forward 12 years, and Team USA found themselves on a shock semi final match up loss to Argentina. It was a 3rd quarter run from Argentina that really knocked USA for 6 and they struggled to claw the lead back. Argentina, who boasted mutliple NBA champion Ginobli and Scola went on to beat Italy to win the Gold!

It is the end of an era, Mo Farah will be running his last indoor race this weekend at the Birmingham Indoor Grand Prix! We look back at some of the most epic Farah performances!
1999 European Cross Country Championships
1999 saw Mo win his first Gold medal in the junior team at the European Cross Country Championships in Slovenia. Mo came 5th in the idividual race, however the team had enough points to take the top place on the podium!
2001 European Junior Championships
It was 3rd time lucky for Mo in the European Junior Championships in Italy to win his first Gold in the individual race.
The entire of 2010
Farah became a winning machine, this really started in 2010 when he dominated the European Championships where he won Gold in Norway and 2 Gold in Barcelona. Mo went onto win 5 STRAIGHT races all in all, with 2 more Golds in the World Championships!
London 2012 and Rio 2016
After coming 6th in the heats in Beijing, Farah had a few scores to settle at his home games London 2012. He became a house hold name when he became a double Olympian champion in the 5,000m and 10,000m races. The famous 'Mobot' celebration became the celebration of the games!
Farah, again became double champion at the Rio Olympics to cement his place as one of the greatest long distance runners.
Farah gets knighted and gets running track at St Mary's University named after him
The year has started pretty well for Mo Farah as he was included on the honour list to become a Sir Mo Farah. Looking back at his humble beginnings, this really is such a great achievement. To add to that, the track he trained on at St Mary's University was named after him in his honor!

England see off Wales to make it 2 out of 2, Ireland get their first win and Scotland lose to France
It has been a great start to this years Six Nations with England currently top, they have Ireland breathing down their neck as they have also won both games.
England certainly weren't pretty against France, but still managed to get the win 19-16 at Twickenham to kick off their campaign, however they say winning when you don't play well is a sign of a good team. Wales didn't crack under pressure when playing Italy, they got a comfortable 33-7 win away at Italy. Scotland provided the shock of the round, they beat Ireland in a remarkable performance 27-22 to get off to a winning start.
Italy were once again thrashed, this time they lost 63-10 against Ireland, who were looking to bounce back after their opening game loss to Scotland. Scotland put up a brave performance, however they lost out to France in a 22-16 at the Stade de France, there was some impressive kicking from the French throughout. In the big one, it was the late late show after England saw off Wales 21 - 16 in Cardiff. It was Daly who scored a try on the 76 minute to win the game for England in a hotly contested game.

Another club legend retires... Frank Lampard hangs up his boots
Another legend in Frank Lampard decided to hang up their boots after a fantastic career. We seem to be rapidly seeing legends of sport retiring over the last couple of years, so we look back at some of these and their accomplishments!
Frank Lampard
Lets start with Frank Lampard, after a trophy ridden career, the 38 year old decided to call it a day after playing for New York City in the MLS last season. Lampard won 3 Premier League titles, 4 FA Cups, 2 League Cups and 1 Champions League. He is also Chelsea's all time goalscorer with a whopping 211 goals from MIDFIELD! He is a true legend of the game, he also came 2nd in the Baloon D'or in 2005, which was won by Ronaldinho.
Steven Gerrard
Steven Gerrard is another Premier League legend to announce his retirement from the beautiful game. Gerrard made over 500 appearances for his hometown club Liverpool to become a cult hero. Gerrard lifted numerous trophies over his time, such as 2 FA Cups, 3 League Cups and that memorable Champions League trophy in Istanbul. The one trophy that did elude Gerrard was the Premier League; after coming so close in 2014 it really was sad to see a legend like Gerrard not win the league.
Kobe Bryant
Switching to Basketball, the NBA lost a icon when Kobe Bryant retired from the game. Bryant, who played his entire career with the LA Lakers won 5 NBA championships as well as being picked for the all star game 18 times. Kobe is a true legend of the game, and has regularly been compared with the great Michael Jordan.
Tim Duncan
Another NBA legend, Tim Duncan also spent his entire career with one club San Antonio Spurs. Unlike Bryant, who announced his retirement 1 year before, Duncan quietly retired from the game at the end of the 2015/16 season. Duncan 5 NBA titles, 3 time NBA finals MVP and 15 time All star appearances. A true legend, don't be surprised to see the iconic 21 jersey retired soon!
Frank Lampard
Lets start with Frank Lampard, after a trophy ridden career, the 38 year old decided to call it a day after playing for New York City in the MLS last season. Lampard won 3 Premier League titles, 4 FA Cups, 2 League Cups and 1 Champions League. He is also Chelsea's all time goalscorer with a whopping 211 goals from MIDFIELD! He is a true legend of the game, he also came 2nd in the Baloon D'or in 2005, which was won by Ronaldinho.

What a great Australian Open!
The first Grand Slam of the year certainly didn't disappoint! There were some great matches as well as great shocks! The 4 finalist's in the single matches all had a combined 60 Grand Slams between them heading into the final. Serena Williams ( 23 slams) saw off older sister Venus Williams ( 7 slams ) in an emotional final winning by 2 sets to 0. It was a final for the ages, Roger Federer ( 18 slams) beat old rival Rafael Nadal ( 14 slams ) in a epic 5 set battle. Federer, who last won a Grand Slam back in Wimbledon in 2012 has lost 23 times to Nadal over his career so this was particularly sweet for Federer. Nadal was a worthy finalist, as he pushed Federer all the way and we have a feeling it won't be the last time the Spaniard in a Grand Slam final. Serena made her own history, she overtook the great Steffie Graf with 23 Grand Slams. Serena was stuck on 22 after losing last years Australian Open and the US Open, however did win Wimbledon.
It was a tournament to forget for current world number 2 Novak Djokovic, who lost out to Istomin who was ranked 117 in the round of 64. The Serbian, who last his world number 1 rank to Andy Murray last year will be looking to the French Open in May to bounce back. Andy Murray will also see this tournament as a missed opportunity; he was the victim of a shock loss against German Zverev. Zverev put in a fine display against the world number 1 winning 3 sets to 1 in the round of 16.
Another great story was that of Mirjana Lucic-Baron from Crotia. She was ranked 79 going in the Australian Open. Lucic-Baron found herself in the semi-final for the first time since Wimbledon 1999! She lost out to Serena 2 sets to 0, however it was a inspiration comeback and a great Australian Open story.
It was a great effort from Britain's Dan Evans, who made it to the round of 16. He eventually lost out to Tsonga 3 sets to 1, but it will certainly give him confidence going into the year!
So that is from this years Australian Open. For those who have post Australian Open, don't worry it is only 5 months until the French Open!!
