It’s time for the big C..not Christmas but the England C-Team, of course. Everyone is on the nice list but there are still a couple of lumps of Cole. How would this team fare against the England B-Team? Goalkeeper: Ray Clemence One of only seven goalkeepers to win over half a century of caps for the Three Lions, Ray Clemence’s total of 61 is made more impressive by the fact that he didn’t make his international debut until he was 24, due to B-Team No.1 Gordon Banks, followed by a battle with England’s record appearance holder Peter Shilton for…

We get it. You’ve been distracted by the Premier League and now you feel like the family member told they are about to dive in blind to the fifth season of a TV series they know nothing about. Sure, you recognise some of the characters (that Coventry manager looks familiar) or some of those teams even look like the ones that used to prop up the Premier League table but while the Premier League’s decision to show just one game on Boxing Day – starting at 8PM for that matter – has got Sean Dyche searching for his nearest green…

The festive season is usually a time for excess, but football has increasingly shown that celebration and sustainability do not have to be mutually exclusive. Across Europe and beyond, clubs, supporters and former players are using the game’s reach to make meaningful environmental and social change.

Three years ago, Nissan celebrated building 250,000 Leafs at its Sunderland plant by using one to power a giant Christmas tree, complete with reindeer, outside the factory. There was snow (real, not fake) on the ground too, making the whole scene look very festive – well, as festive as a grass verge next to a chain-link fence and a security hut can look. To use an EV’s drive battery in this way requires the vehicle to have V2L (vehicle-to-load) capability. This enables it to convert the DC current that powers it back to AC, the form it received it in…
With impressive understatement the John Deere website refers to its 9RX range of agricultural machinery as “high-horsepower tractors”. We always like it when the Christmas road test has a unique claim to fame: the biggest, the newest, the fastest or whatever it might be. And this year’s Christmas road test subject takes that ‘high horsepower’ to a level not seen in – ahem – its field before, because it is the most powerful series-production tractor in the world. Here we have the John Deere 9RX 830, the ‘9RX referring to its series model name, with the numeric suffix bearing a…
Manchester United often don’t even bother with the January transfer window, perhaps scarred by the memory of their worst signing of the post-Ferguson era. But it also prompted their very best… United are reported to be in the market for January recruits, though they appear to have missed out on Antoine Semenyo. If they sign another forward before midfielder, frankly, the club should be folded. But reports suggest they could also be in the market for Ruben Neves. Which, unless he leaves his legs in Saudi, seems like a good idea. As did most of these January signings. Even this…
