Championship Round-Up: Week 30
Another double whammy for all the Championship sides as two sets of fixtures were played throughout the week. The first piece of action kicked off on Tuesday night, Middlesbrough hosted Leicester City at the Riverside Stadium. Both teams shared a point as Riley McGree’s equaliser cancelled out Caleb Okoli’s strike in a 1-1 draw. In…
Is this where it ends?
After providing us fans with epic entertainment, where the battle was very much a ding-dong, arguably took one twist too many as rivals Celtic and Rangers played out a lively draw at Ibrox, which arguably has made Hearts, who lead the SPL, uncatchable. The Hoops have a game in hand, Martin O’Neil’s men host Aberdeen…
Bunting triumphs on Night Four and Nine-Darter produced in Belfast
The BetMGM Premier League has arguably hosted the best night of 2026 so far with a fan-favourite winner, a hometown nine-darter and stunning matchups. The SSE Arena Belfast kicked off with Night Three winner Jonny Clayton once again defeating Luke Littler by a fine margin with a 6-3 victory. The Northern Irish crowd then witnessed…
Bodo/Glimt shock Inter; Champions League round-up
Norwegian minnow Dodo/Glimt produced one of the biggest shocks in Champions League history by defeating three-time winners Inter Milan. Leading 3-1 from the first leg, ‘the script’ would have written something along the lines of the Italian giants Inter would have beaten Bodo comfortably. But the Norwegians who reached the semi-finals of the Europa League…
Here’s why the Championship is one of the best in Europe
England’s second-tier football League table is one of the best in Europe. Yeah, I said it. Some of my observations or footballing takes have not been to everyone’s liking, and I admit, my latest take might fall into the same category. Just hear me out, please. The Championship, when Norwich and Fulham were dominating, were…
Family first!
When one thinks of a football player, the usual stereotypes are that they can be self-oriented and almost live life carefree. When players like Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho have been spotted at nightclubs before games or after, it can lead to footballers getting a bad rep. For the sake of fairness, I must state…
Sesgoal!
Benjamin Sesko proved to be the match-winner again, as Manchester United edged out Everton 1-0 at the Hill Dickinson Stadium. This defeat for The Toffee’s sees them continue their woeful home form of late. The Red Devils, who haven’t played for a fortnight, were a bit lethargic and were indebted to Samme Lemnens, who arguably…
Scotland title race provides more twists
Usually, when someone thinks about Scotland and their football League, one would associate it with being one-sided, in otherwords they get cruel taunts such as ‘Farmers League’. As seasons have gone by, arguably, the SPL has been one-sided and has suffered from a lack of competition, but that isn’t the case this season, far from…
Just when you think all is well
Real Madrid are a very unique team. They are the most successful team in Champions League history, with 15 titles and the most successful team in La liga history, with a whopping 36! But even still, with that much success, Los Blancos seem never too far from a crisis. When Xabi Alonso left the club…

South Africa laid a real marker down for the rest of the tournament, as the 2024 runners-up beat the 2024 World Champions, India, in a game that was a re-run of the final of two years ago. South Africa captain Aiden Markram won the toss and elected to bat first. The decision appeared to be…
