The Premier League returns on Tuesday night and Manchester United have the chance to go three points clear at the top with a win at Burnley. It’s a remarkable turnaround considering the knives were out for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in some quarters earlier in the season. Incredibly all six of United’s away league wins this campaign have come after they […]

West Ham will be desperate to avoid the same fate as Leeds United in Monday night’s FA Cup match at Stockport County. Marco Bielsa’s much-changed side were dumped out of the competition by Crawley Town who fully deserved their 3-0 in front of the cameras on BBC One in the biggest upset of the 3rd Round. Spurs, Chelsea and Man […]

SATURDAY always looked a tough one for punters and so it proved with the usual share of cup upsets and surprises. Everton, Arsenal and Burnley all needed more than 90 minutes to get through their ties while Derby, West Brom and Blackburn weren’t so fortunate. In Scotland Dundee and Forfar were taken to extra-time by Bonnyrigg Rose and Linlithgow Rose […]

THIS weekend is the one punters always dread; FA Cup, Scottish Cup, frozen pitches, depleted squads, fringe players and upsets in the making. It’s no wonder Mr Fixit always advised caution and small stakes. The weekend got off to a slightly farcical start as Aston Villa were forced to field a tem full up youths, up way past their bed-time, […]

Friday kicks-off a weekend of cup action north and south of the border but it could be a bit of false start. Liverpool’s visit to Aston Villa remains in doubt at the time of publishing due to a significant number of positive tests in the Villa camp that forced the club to close their training ground on Thursday. Fingers crossed […]

Man City stormed Old Trafford and booked their trip to the Capital on Wednesday night thanks to goals by John Stones and Fernandinho.

SPURS booked their place in the final of the Carabao Cup with a 2-0 win over Championship side on Wednesday leaving Jose Mourinho just one win away from his first trophy as Spurs manager.

AS Gary Lineker was sharp to tweet, “We might just have ourselves a title race.” The Leicester City fan was quick off the mark following Southampton’s 1-0 win over Liverpool, a result that left Saints boss Ralph Hasenhüttl more than a little emotional on the touchline – as if there weren’t enough tiers in England at the moment! That’s just […]

LEICESTER CITY and Manchester City enjoyed wins on Sunday that saw them move up to 3rd and 5th in the table respectively and in a topsy-turvy season has given the Top 5 a more familiar look to it with Liverpool, Man Utd and Spurs occupying the other three positions. Liverpool have the chance to re-establish a three point lead on […]

IT was a mixed day for punters on Saturday. Spurs, Rangers, Arsenal and Norwich would’ve all been on numerous Accas but then again so would the likes of Falkirk, Hibs, Aberdeen and Hearts – all of whom failed to win. Wins were few and far between for our tipsters but well done to everyone that managed to beat the bookies, […]

HERE we go for 2021 – the first proper football card of the year is here. Bring it on! West Ham and Man Utd got the year off to winning starts on New Year’s Day, the latter now level on points at the top of the table with Liverpool who play on Monday. KevMac scored a full house in his […]

HAPPY NEW YEAR! I think we can all agree that we’re glad to see the back of 2020, an absolute disaster of a year that’s brought so much pain, suffering and disruption to the lives of many. Our community here has felt that pain as keenly as anyone following the sad and sudden loss of our gaffer, Mr Fixit. So, […]

We’re heading for a quiet New Year’s Eve with very little football on across the planet today and that might be no bad thing! Hibernian were the biggest let down of the day, going down 2-0 at home to bottom side Ross County – a win that lifts the Staggies off the bottom of the table. Celtic and Rangers both […]

THERE wasn’t much to get excited about in the Premier League on Tuesday, unless of course you’re a Leeds fan. Marcelo Bielsa’s men proved yet again that they’re madder than a box of frogs. A 5-0 win over West Brom was their eighth to see four or more goals scored this season. All while the other four matches in the […]

BRENDAN Rodgers was about as popular as a Boris Johnson in Brussels on here on Monday as his much-changed, well-backed side laboured to a 1-1 draw at Crystal Palace. He left Vardy, Maddison and Tielemans kicking their heels on the bench and paid the price, missing the chance to close the gap on leaders Liverpool. Ray McKinnon’s Queen’s Park were […]

SPURS were almost the big winners on Sunday but a late headed equaliser by Romain Saïss meant they only climbed to fifth instead of third in the table. It was a day of missed opportunity for Liverpool too who squandered the chance to open up a five point gap at the top of the table as the ‘Fireman Sam’ effect […]

LIVERPOOL have the chance to open up a five point gap on the chasing pack on Sunday when they welcome second-bottom West Brom to Anfield. Everton took advantage of Leicester and Man United’s earlier draw to move into second place following a 1-0 win at Sheffield United and remarkably there’s now just four points separating second and ninth in the […]

NOT much more to say today than Merry Christmas to you! We hope you have a happy and peaceful time with whomever you are able to share the day with. It’s been a difficult year and the last few weeks have been especially tough for all of us on the site. The Gaffer wouldn’t have wanted us to be sad […]

There wasnt much to write home about an a fairly dull pre-Christmas Wednesday. Under a new manager, Ross County battled hard but Celtic continued their resurgence with another win. Now on an unbeaten in four across all competitions. Elsewhere Motherwell vs Aberdeen was the only goalless game in the Premiership. It also beat my Super Single of Aberdeen to Win. […]

A FULL round of matches in the Scottish Premiership should make for an entertaining Wednesday evening, throw in a couple of EFL Cup ties, a bunch of Serie A, Ligue 1, Eredivisie and DFB Pokal matches from Germany and we’ve got a pretty decent midweek card on our hands. It’s the last chance to fill the coffers before Santa arrives […]
