The Beautiful Game
CLICK ON THE IMAGE TO SEE THE WHOLE NEWSPAPER Created by the poor; stolen by the rich. Greed over Glory Since 2001, Daniel Levy has brought nothing but failure during his tenure as chairman, minimal investment, transfer blunders and disastrous managerial appointments have all brewed and culminated a culture of failure and acceptance for the clubs lacklustre performances. The club currently sits in 16th and is on course to record one of its worst league finishes since the inception of the premier league. From champions league finals to relegation scraps. Whats gone wrong for Levys Tottenham? Naïve tactics mixed with poor signings may point towards the failures this league season, however looking deeper it’s much more the just that, whilst the club itself is one of the richest clubs in the world the ownership has only put in £120m of their own money of which includes a £97.5 million share issues with the majority of transfers being funded by freed up wages and cash made by selling players, whilst their rivals pull away with clubs like Aston villa (whose owners have put in £600 million), Newcastle and Arsenal pushing for silverware; Spurs now more than ever only seem interested in monetary gain, with the stadium being branded as a multipurpose entertainment venue.

The final whistle with molly
The Final Whistle With Molly is a football column that delves into the behind the scenes of Ipswich Wanderers and also looks into other topics across the sport. It also looks at Tottenham and Ipswich Town relating back to the social media pages "The Final Whistle with Molly". It takes pride in showing young girls that football is changing and although it is still predominantly male based, women in football media are more common than they may think.

Aliya's football column​
Concord Rangers started the stronger team but Mildenhall quickly grew into the game and were the better team for the majority of the first half, despite this Concord managed to get a goal by Anisius Lewis. Mildenhall had a few good chances in the first half, many of which were from corners, however the goalkeeper was quick to save these and get the chance gone. The teams went in at half time 0-1 to Concord. The second half kicked off quickly and both teams were determined to get a goal, but Concord had a hold of the game due to their goal in the first half. Like the first half, Mildenhall had a few attempts on goal again but couldn’t take the chances quick enough. The defence for Mildenhall played a crucial role in the game and made sure that Concord couldn’t get another goal. Anisius Lewis was Concord’s main man for the majority of the game and made lots of goal scoring opportunities but Mildenhall’s goalkeeper was able to deny them a second goal. Both teams were quite equal, but Concord just came out on top. Overall Mildenhall played well but just weren’t able to find the back of the net unfortunately.

British truck racing championship
I never imagined lorries racing around a track would actually be something I see in person. Well...I did! I attended the British Truck Racing Championship on Sunday at Snetterton and it was definitely an experience. BTRC attended Snetterton alongside the British Endurance Championship, Classic Touring Car Racing Club and the Britcar Trophy which if you ask me, are very funny series to be racing alongside the massive powerful trucks in the main series. Now I've turned 16 I pay adults prices for all events but this year I've had a season pass so getting into the track was longer. Lots of people book in advance to save the extra charge on the gate so the line of cars to get in was fairly long, even if we did arrive later than usual in an attempt to skip it. I would definitely advise arriving at the track early if you want a good spot, especially for headline events. The trucks entered the track through a separate cornered off place next to their paddock as they did not use the pit lane. This meant if you got caught out walking somewhere towards the end of the session, often you would have to wait as the trucks navigated to and from their garages or the marshals gated off areas to allow the support series to get to Parc Ferme without going around the whole track. Lots of people got caught off guard with this, including me as I've never attended an event where this has happened! The truck racing was a 6/10 event for me. Their lap times are around 3-4 minutes so they only do a few laps per race! The surge into Turn One is always eventful on the opening lap and often ended in a long red flag when the safety team had to get two trucks out of the gravel but that's just racing! These drivers in the big vehicles are much less afraid of contact, and for a good reason. At Snetterton I always find myself on the hill at Palmer. You can watch the start/finish straight and Turn 1, then turn around for the cars to disappear briefly but then you can witness most of Palmer, Oggies, Hamilton and Williams, it's a great spot! I tend to move around to different locations to get photos but if you are attending for viewing purposes, it's definitely the spot. The toilets are only a few minutes walk along with Parc Ferme just around the corner as well as the podium. We didn't get to watch the endurance racing due to them not racing on a Sunday but the classic cars and britcars were fun to watch. It's definitely something different and entertaining for anyone who loves motorsport! Maybe not if you're not into it though, there's definitely things earlier in the year which provide more speed and entertainment! The atmosphere at Snetterton is always something I can enjoy. Often I bump into family or friends of drivers there to support, photographers or unexpected people I know like this weekend my friend and I got to meet Ian Waterhouse from the BARC. You never quite know who you might see. For any motorsport lovers thinking of attending a BTRC event, I would say go for it if you're into a variety of racing! It's always a good day out with lots of racing, food, atmosphere and champagne spraying if you head down to the podiums in time. I had a great weekend, coming back with over 450 photos! Get down to a track to watch next year, and don't worry about safety, the marshals and tracks add extra measures to ensure the racing can ensue smoothly.
