After cashing in on many of their prize assets during the summer, lots of people had Southampton down as relegation candidates going into the 2014/15 campaign. Even the most optimistic of Saints fans could not have predicted the season their side have had so far which sees them sat third in the Premier League table.

Arguably the Saints’ biggest win of the campaign so far came at Old Trafford a couple of weeks back. Ronald Koeman’s men proved they were capable of beating one of the traditional top-four clubs and they did so in Manchester United’s back yard with a 1-0 victory, as reported on bluesq’s news site.

Southampton picked up over £100 million in transfer fees from the sales of Dejan Lovren, Adam Lallana, Ricky Lambert and others...

For many people, watching the New Year’s Eve fireworks in London is a tradition that they look forward too throughout the year. For years, this has been a free event that British people take pride in. Despite the crowds, many people travel to London from all over the United Kingdom at this time of year to watch the fireworks light up the sky over the River Thames. However, this tradition is coming to a close as Major of London Boris Johnson has introduced a new scheme.

The New Year’s Eve fireworks display was established back in 2003 and has been attracting increasingly large crowds of people each year. This year, the fireworks display will not be free. The Greater London Authority has issued a total of 100,000 tickets for the fireworks display, which are being sold for £10...

The announcement that Liverpool captain, and long-serving loyalist, Steven Gerrard was leaving the club that he had played for since 1997, was met mournfully by fans late last year. Despite Gerrard having an indifferent season, where he was used somewhat cautiously by manger Brendan Rodgers, few would have predicted that it would be his last season with Liverpool after 17 years playing for the club.

Barely had the reverberations of this announcement begun to settle when Major League Soccer team LA Galaxy revealed that they had signed Gerrard to an 18-month deal. Gerrard, who turns 35 this year, will begin his stateside career after the conclusion of the 2014/2015 Premiership football season...

Recent talk of unrest at Barcelona is unsettling for us all. Barcelona are not the sort of club one associates with unrest. For a generation they have been the model of consistency, dependability and decency. Managers may have come and gone, but the edifice that is Barce has prevailed – impressively distinct, brilliantly accomplished on the park and seemingly impervious to the sort of short-term fluctuations that plague lesser rivals.

But at the time of writing they are four points adrift of their great rivals Real Madrid and there is talk of a major fall out between the manager Luis Enrique and Lionel Messi. Fuelled no doubt by all the excitement that the English January transfer window generates, there has even been talk of Messi leaving Barca.

The Argentinian maestro has played down th...

The New Ford Fiesta launched in 2014 comes with an attractive, international look and features that would suit Indian roads better. Ford has steered clear of competitions from Honda City or Hyundai Verna and launched the new model for a niche segment, as it was priced between INR 7.5 to 9 lakh. There are a lot of tweaks here and there. Let’s take a look.

Cabin and Interiors

Plastic is a disappointment but takes down the cost and when you look at it as a contrast with the beige fabric seats, it doesn’t look that bad either. The instrumentation panel in ice blue illumination lightens up the cabin ambience...
