Sport News 24/7 By David de Winter - Sports Editor @davidjdewinter  @TLE_Sport Yaya Touré may have won the Africa Cup of Nations in Equatorial Guinea on Sunday night but his club, Manchester City, will be cursing their luck that their star player made it that far.  It means that in the five matches Touré has missed (he will in all likelihood miss tomorrow’s match at Stoke City too), City have gained three points from a possible 12 in the league...

Sport News 24/7 By Simon White  @SimonWhite14  @TLE_Sport From ‘that’ picture in an Arsenal shirt, to ‘one of our own’, Tottenham’s Harry Kane is really making a name for himself during his breakthrough season.  With 22 goals to his name already this term, it is small wonder that Tottenham appear to be going places having replaced a misfiring Roberto Soldado and ever-unreliable Emmanuel Adebayor.  Whilst the boy wonder has a huge role in Spurs’ season so far, many other factors...

Sport News 24/7 By Jack Peat - Editor @jacknpeat  @TLE_Sport  @LondonEconomic Continuing TLE's focus on non-league football, editor Jack Peat travelled to see Hampton & Richmond Borough take on Isthmian League high-flyers Dulwich Hamlet.  A cold winter’s afternoon welcomed Dulwich Hamlet to Hampton & Richmond Borough FC, south London’s pink and blue transporting their army of left-wing ultras to the quiet suburban Beveree Stadium on the banks of the river Thames. Hampton is a small hamlet that lies a short distance from the...

Sport News 24/7 By Sean Simara  @Sean_FootyMad  @TLE_Sport Tom Brady threw four touchdown passes and became a four time Super Bowl winner as the New England Patriots came through two weeks of controversy to beat the Seattle Seahawks 28-24.  It was a fantastic game that was littered with drama throughout but for me, the 4th quarter demonstrated why the Super Bowl is such a great sporting occasion. At 24-14 going into the 4th it looked like a repeat of last...

Sport News 24/7 By Simon White  @TLE_Sport They say it's lonely at the top, but clubs at the bottom of the Premier League will attest to being a world away from anyone else.  Both Hull City and Queens Park Rangers have fallen upon hard times this season, sitting 18th and 19th in the table respectively.  Despite their similarities in the table however, their future outlooks differ enormously.  From Hull we see green shoots of recovery and attacking promise which can...

Sport News 24/7 By David de Winter - Sports Editor @davidjdewinter  @TLE_Sport Continuing TLE’s recent focus on non-league football, Sports Editor David de Winter and Deputy Editor Joe Mellor went to Dulwich Hamlet FC to see a club very much on the up. A freezing late January Saturday afternoon – I could have chosen a better time to make my first foray into live Ryman Isthmian Premier League football.  Or could I?  The club in question were Dulwich Hamlet FC,...

Sport News 24/7 By Matthew Biggin  @MatthewBiggin  @TLE_Sport So despite saying they’d sign no players in the January window Manchester City have made probably the biggest signing of the transfer window.  Manuel Pellegrini paid Swansea City £28 million for coveted striker Wilfried Bony to strengthen his forward line, and I for one think it’s a shame. I should make it clear that I rate Bony highly.  I think he’d do a great job up top for any side.  He’s been...

Sport News 24/7 By David de Winter - Sports Editor @davidjdewinter  @TLE_Sport Friday night sees the start of the 2015 Six Nations tournament in Cardiff with a potential hum-dinger of a match between Wales and England.  That will set the tone for what will hopefully be five weeks of intense, brutal, physical but also entertaining rugby.  It is the most open tournament that I can remember and every team is in with a shout of winning the title (yes, even...
